> "In the UK and the EU, the GDPR requires organisations to inform recipients of the pixels, and in most cases to obtain consent for them. It’s not enough to just have a privacy policy somewhere that details this."

No it doesn't and yes it is.

Nowhere in the GDPR or in the UK implementation does it say that recipients need to be informed of pixels in and of themselves.

What it does say is that when you obtain the recipients' personal details you must provide them with a privacy notice setting out what data you collect and what you do with it. The privacy notice needs to be provided on collection of their data (when directly collected) or within 30 days of collection if from a third party.

There is no reason to not obtain consent to tracking but to suggest it's the only lawful basis on which to process the data is not correct. Subject to completion of an impact assessment, one could make a case that it falls under legitimate interests depending on the degree of processing of the tracking data e.g. the more that such data is used to inform further targeting of the individual vs. say aggregation of data for improving engagement.

I agree with your underlying point though - I turned off tracking (I use Postmark for transactional emails) because I don't really care about open rate and click rate etc. If my customers want to ignore the emails from the service it's up to them.

As I said, I try to always thoroughly understand anything I am about to modify. For example, if I change a function body I always familiarize myself with how the function is being used, exactly, what the code of the function does, exactly and how other function it calls work, exactly.
Indeed, that has happened to me as well. I chalked it up to me just liking my own style though. But yeah it's awesome to work on code I wrote and think, "wow, what a thoughtful design!"
> Because if you send emails to people who don't read them, eventually they will flag you as spam (even if they signed up for the emails in the first place), and then you will start getting blocked as spam by Gmail.

Probably because those email newsletters are spam sent to people who interacted with a form once.
Not sure why you're being downvoted - I can't remember coming across an email client that doesn't support this, and many seem to do it by default these days.
I think most other messengers, iMessage, FB Messenger get this right that you can disable read receipts but then you won't get to see other people's either.

I really really enjoy having them. They make me feel less anxious about messages.
Agree. Also I don't see any proposal put forth.
Did I miss it? The gist I got was "env vars are bad and if we don't use something else (what?) we're hung up in the past".
I think the "winners game" vs. "losers game" insight is interesting and there is some value in applying it to software development. But I don't see it as a revolutionary insight, anything that's going to radically change anyones understanding. The article has other problems, but overall it's just lukewarm.

To my mind, the main issues in software development are complexity and imperfect knowledge. We've developed a lot of practices like unit tests and code reviews which help us defend ourselves, but, ultimately, for any non-trivial software it seems like a losing battle, or if not losing, then the progress is slow and difficult and tenuous. (like trench warfare).
I refuse to use any service that reports on my active use of the service. The "seen" feature was created like a decade ago, and that took me from occasionally using Facebook, to never using Facebook.
thats quite an antipattern in production.

Of course it does if those businesses want to operate in the EU.
I believe they meant mounting via Kubectrl as a file, from the secret manager.

> because they have a religious aversion to keeping any stock

In the US people love to keep huge numbers of cars in stock. Apparently most people buy from stock there, and almost nobody does JIT, for some reason. So this isn’t the case everywhere.
There is an option in WhatsApp to do exactly that.
Supabase – A Back End for IndieHackers
The CEO is also founder and held onto a super majority share of the stock. It's his board essentially, which was a governance issue I remember seeing identified as an investment risk years ago. If it wasn't for that he might have been pushed on a long ways back, but there it is. There's risks to both full submission the shareholders and full independence of shareholders.
There are many valid perspectives and issues on the decline of Perl, many of which are valid, but I'll add my own about the perceptions (as an ancient Perl coder who has mostly moved on) of Perl code being pretty messy and unmaintainable on average:

I think Perl has always been an artist's tool, rather than an industrial tool, and this is why so much Perl code in the world is a relatively-unreadable mess. It grants great artistic license (which was also the name of its software license!) to the coder, as evinced by the Perl community motto TIMTOWTDI ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There%27s_more_than_one_way_to... ). In the hands of an expert working on a labor of love, flexible artistic tooling allow maximal freedom and craftsmanship to create truly great things. But in the hands of novices, or even experienced professionals who are tasked with just getting something functional done on a deadline, there's little in the way of guardrails pushing the solution towards elegance, simplicity, and readability.

Most coding work that is ever done is more industrial and task-focused in nature, and artistic tools aren't always really the right tools for that job. By way of analogy: Let's say in an industrial setting a manager decides that a new, large, safety warning placard needs to be created to warn employees about slipping on the wet floor of the factory. The manager could task an employee to go pick a standard "Wet Floor" sign from a catalog and order it, or she could decide we need a custom message and ask someone to contract with a signage company, or even in a pinch she could decide to hand someone a big square of plastic, some white paint, and a set of letter stencils to go make a sign with. She might even cite some ANSI standards the sign has to comply with about font sizes and colors for warning signs of this nature.

What she'd never rationally do in this scenario, is just hand them a gift card to an art supply house and a tab of acid and tell them to go be creative, which is probably the closest thing to the Perl way to go about the problem. Nonetheless, Perl has value and merit, and is a beautiful thing.

Blackbird Studios | Sr Fullstack Developer | Remote within US only | Contract to hire

Blackbird is a San Francisco based digital software studio that specializes in a Human Centered “Build, Measure, Learn” approach to launching totally new, high-impact software products for a wide variety of public and private sector clients, from early stage startups to Fortune 50 companies. We don’t do marketing sites! We build complex, cool, interactive fullstack web and mobile applications that are fun to build, challenging, and that people use every day. We work directly with brands or through partnerships with some of the top design studios in the world (like IDEO).

Blackbird is very different from most other software studios. We operate in very collaborative and strategic relationships with our clients and partners which gives us a uniquely strategic seat at the table and the opportunity to regularly deep dive into a new interesting understanding of our client's business, then build, launch, and evolve new software products from the ground up.

Our teams include CTO consulting, Software Development, UX/UI, training and capabilities building, and "Build, Measure, Learn" Product Management. We work with large and small companies/startups on projects ranging from 2-12 months with 2-7 people on each project. We build full stack web, mobile, IoT, physical installations, etc. Our favorite stack is React, React Native, GraphQL, and Rails. We also use a wide range of other tech as needed since we face a pretty diverse set of challenges. Recent and upcoming examples: Flutter, .Net, Drupal, Elixir/Phoenix, Swift, and Kotlin.

We are looking for people who are excited about building great software products, who are great teammates, and who are passionate about continuously refining best practices for creating successful digital products. Experience in dev team leadership, new product development, collaboration with business and design stakeholders, and consulting experience are not required but are all huge plusses.

We are a remote-first company but with very active collaboration on video and Slack, plus occasional travel to San Francisco and other locations is part of the job for project kickoffs and other critical collaboration phases or meetings.

Interested? We want to hear from you! Please send resume, Github, or LinkedIn to jobs@blackbird.us. I am a founder so ask me anything! If there are other aspects of what we do that interest you definitely still hit me up!
maybe this one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_paradox
depending on where you stand, the ladder can fit in the garage, or it can't. If I remember right, it's from the original special relativity paper, which is super accessible. General was always beyond me, but special is just high school math.
The problem is that UBNT now requires you to cloud-enable many of their modern devices as part of the setup process. You can later disable that after setup, but I think it's safe to assume most people don't know that (they certainly don't go out of their way to tell you that), and even fewer people will go through the effort.

So, this hack also implies that a substantial number of devices out there now have their remote admin credentials leaked to an unknown, presumed malicious, third party.
On further reflection, I think that it's just not that much worse to two-thumb type on a narrow keyboard, and a landscape isn't big enough to five finger type, but to big to single-thumb type.
I'm in the same boat.
I bought my Edge Router Lite probably 8 years ago and it's easily been the best $99 I ever spent on networking gear and it's still working amazingly well. Before the Edge Router I couldn't imagine having a home network that didn't need a router reboot once/week.

I've grown into many of the ER features over the years. Also fun fact - the storage is literally a USB flash drive plugged into a standard USB-A port under the cover! (which is totally upgradable). I will forever be impressed with this product.

We really need to not throw bricks at cop cars. It doesn't attract additional support, and it's easily co-opted to spread a false narrative that it's only about violence. There are plenty of agents provocateurs happy to throw bricks and then point fingers at others.

It's certainly true that we also must not give in to BS abstractions about the virtue of free speech to solve all ills. That's also a tactic used to silence people, forcing them into quieter and quieter protests while falsely portraying them as violent. We can't completely wrap ourselves up when we know that they that they're just going to lie about it.

That's a hard line to walk, but calling for violence is clearly over it.

I'm going to graduate from my Masters in computer science this summer, hopefully. Previous to that I was actually working as an energy engineer and got my bachelor's in mechanical engineering. My research has been in the cybersecurity of industrial control systems, but I'm open to work outside of that field. I'd especially be interested in either data science/data engineering roles or robotics roles.
