Exactly. We should attack the core issue here;
tracking is a form of invaison of privacy and should be banned in general.
That raises an interesting question. What ARE the Hanoi Rat problems of the internet?
Unformat Professional Crack 10.0.1 and Free Keygen (2022)
It's not useless. Hack maybe (uses type annotations but they are not checked unless you add something besides vanilla python. I.e they can lie.)
That's exactly what makes it hard: you need everybody to do the same (ok, a majority, but that's not as dramatic :)).
> most people would give up everything and endure just about anything for a mere chance at it

I feel like you just make assumptions here.
There already is a better solution and always has been, it's called setting cookie preferences at the browser level and then leaving it.

Trying to regulate the option for cookie preferences at the individual site level was always a stupid idea. The average person visits thousands of websites every year. Of course nobody is going to take the time to do that.

If the lawmakers in the EU were intelligent, they would have created a law that forced all web browsers to provide "X" privacy setting features for EU-domiciled users (where X is what they were aiming to achieve).

In addition to not burdening the entire world with time wasting popups all day, this option would have also had the bonus of not burdening millions of small businesses around the globe with complex regulation and legal liability.

Not to mention the total lack of enforceability of the current law when it comes to websites operated outside of the EU.

If done at the browser-level you really only have to police <10 companies.
Compare the shifting sands of Swift with the stability of awk.

That is not a good comparison..
Have we accepted the popups? The tracking agencies have clearly set the goal to make the user experience as bad as possible if you want to deny the prompts.

As far as I'm concerned, we should just blanket ban these trackers all together. The industry has been given the chance to play nicely and to care about the people they're collecting data from, and they chose war on consent.

Fuck it, make the DNT header a legally binding way to deny consent.

I consider every company with these invasive popups to be antisocial. Not enough people care enough for the practice to disappear, but I definitely don't just accept it. I accept the simple prompts that go yes/no/specify, with the yes and no equally easy to use, but that's the best you'll get from me.

Any website claiming that trackers have "legitimate interest" is made by absolute assholes.
And almost nothing of these are actually language features but in the library.

There's an Android app which does a very similar thing called Nightshift [0].

I am not against leveling the playing field, but those subsidies are peanuts in the semi-conductor world.
There's a great Safari extension for this called Hush[1].

After installing this, I rarely see any cookie popups.

A random comment won't qualify as high-quality but I have a fond relationship with Pascal, since I learnt programming with a Turbo Pascal book that was on the shelf in my local library and since Turbo Pascal gave weird error messages (due to clock speeds as it turns out), I found Freepascal that I could get from the internet via dial-up connection.

FreePascal's Object Pascal is is a nice language, pascal alone gives you an environment similar to C, with Object Pascal you get some polymorphism (classes and methods). What's of course missing in comparison to C++ is templates, so as soon as you build containers you will find yourself casting again.

If you want to have a slightly-more-high-level language than C, it may work out. Especially the Unit-System allows for better modularisation and definitely is an improvement over include-headers.

For most applications nowadays I would like to have a GC in place, which kind of makes me wonder whether Modula/oberon would be the more natural choices nowadays for choosing a pascal-esque language. But then I quickly end up picking SML/ocaml because once you have a GC, you quickly want a couple of other niceties unless you really want to have a bare-metal language.
> I like them. They are a sure signal which websites to avoid. Same as 'allow notification' banners.

Agreed. I learned to ignore banners, but when I see a modal forcing me to do an action before proceeding, I can be 100% sure they're up to something slimy. So most of the time I just give up, I don't care that much about your website to lose my precious time clicking on stupid buttons.
This covers it up well:

If you click through there are "Intermediate Reintroduction" to JS / web dev there somewhere and some more advanced material.
I don't remember the exact timeline but MS decision to enable DNT header by default was basically a poison pill for the entire concept before it had a chance. It would have failed one way or another though. Adtech industry doesn't give up that easily.
Although I don't disagree, I think that's a very narrow way to look at it.

I think it's more about the fear of dying than about actual death. If you just died tomorrow in your sleep, what would it matter? Assuming you didn't have a terminal illness or are of old age, you probably didn't fear immediate death. And you didn't suffer one bit.

Sure, it would suck for your friends and family, but for you, it wouldn't matter.
Is that your workflow professionally for >months?
Amazon used to have a webpage that clearly stated they commingle inventory from all sellers, so it has long been public information that when you buy something on Amazon.com, the seller you buy from does not matter.
If you follow EU politics closely, you'll notice the corrupt idiots are mostly (though not exclusively) in national politics and in the European Commission (which is nominated by member States, not elected). The European Parliament is by far the most progressive and humane legal institution we have across Europe, if only any government cared to apply the laws they pass.

We have this pattern in Western Europe (eg. France/Germany) where everything is blamed on the EU when in fact the most malicious legal interpretations come from national politics. Example: EU regulations state network service operators MAY keep logs for a maximum of one year, FR regulations claim they MUST for minimum two years.
It's just a tick box in the app, I think it's defaulted to on for a few years now
My nation already has zero OLED screen manufacturing capacity, the world seems to keep spinning.

China will dump out their OLEDs, I’ll get cheaper OLEDs, my nation will make other things and exchange them for OLEDs. China may come to dominate the OLED market, but OLEDs will be displaced by micro-LEDs.

China will never completely control any particular technology simply because, wealthy as they are, they don’t have the resources to afford such a thing. They may be able to buy their way to market dominance, but there will always be alternative sources. Not least, because of the fact they’re not the only country pursuing a strategy of national champions.

Food security is also a bit of a joke. Well not a joke, a cudgel used by the farming lobby to shut down reasoned discussions about whether we should reduce some of the largesses currently extended to farmers. Nations don’t need ‘food security’, they need a functioning global supply chain and reasonable leaders that can restrain the dogs of war.

Notions of things like food security only make wars more likely because nations feel like they’d be more likely to win in the event of one occurring. But really, we all know nobody would win in a war where America got to the point where food security was in question.
uBlock Origin blocks cookie pop-up modals, and also prevents most tracking so even if you accept something you shouldn't, it won't have any effect (or so I believe -- I have not actually tested this myself).

Anyway it's not perfect, but it's good enough for my needs.
"We" in the EU haven't, really. Lawsuits are taking place regarding how the dialogs are designed but they take forever to go anywhere.
It's a checklist item in marketing agencies
>> but I guess you sometimes need to fight evil with evil.

Instead of propping up our own companies, a better response might be to ban imports of these government subsidized products. Apple wouldn't be harmed in the slightest, this move is just a cost savings for them.
The solution is to click "deny" and stop visiting those websites.

Another solution is to attempt to reform governments to pass laws much faster and amend them quickly when workarounds like this come up. It took 4-5 years for this law to go from being first proposed to passed, and about 1 week for every website to throw up the banner.

Another is to directly pay for the services that these websites currently use ads to fund.

All solutions require significant effort or sacrifice on our part, so they probably won't happen.
> Laws that require software companies to implement a user choice should really contain some wording against dark patterns

They do.

GDPR explicitly requires

- that denying is easier than accept

- that all choices are denied by default

- that there has to be a single "no" button, but individual "yes" buttons for every single choice

Just everyone breaks the law.
By law, users must be given a clear yes/no option, companies just ignore that.

There's a reason why facebook/meta/whatever calls Max Schrems "The Devil" internally, at least the Ireland division.
It's true that the market places a worth on crypto assets, but there are many alternative reasons for why that could be as well (such as: I expect it to go up in price for whatever reason and then I'll be rich!). In any case, what is your plan for when https://xkcd.com/538/ happens?
Thanks. The OP of the link relates to the high bar that Alacritty has for contributions.

I can understand this helps to keep Alacritty manageable. Leading projects sometimes involves saying no to features, as they do: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/1309

That's just a tradeoff.
We know how to make people live longer – provide them with good healthcare from cradle on, reduce pollution, help them out of poverty etc.

Biggest problem with people living longer is the costs of supporting them increase dramatically, and who's going to pay these costs?

Increasing longevity places a burden on our children, and their children
Linking to distrowatch.com from Facebook is a community violation
Post that got taken down for violating community guidelines was simply the following:

"Det finns många bra alternativ förutom ubuntu. Kolla på distrowatch.com och titta runt lite, kolla på screenshots och besök hemsidorna se om det är något verkar passa dig. Många distros satsar just på att vara "lightweight" och vissa har ett "live medium" vilket innebär att installationsmediumet är så att du kan starta operativsystemet direkt från ett USB minne och testa det utan att ens installera det till en början."

in english:

"There are many good options besides ubuntu. Check out distrowatch.com and look around a bit, look at the screenshots and visit the websites to see if there is something that seems to suit you. Many distros focus on being "lightweight" and some have a "live medium" which means that the installation medium is so that you can boot the operating system directly from a USB memory and test it without even installing it in the first place."
In my opinion Pydantic is Dataclass++ and NamedTuple+. I use it everywhere performance is not critical. It does type casting and provides an option for strict types. It lets you use custom types where you can define min and max size of a list or tuple etc. Every time I had a weird validation I needed to do, the Pydantic docs already had a built-in way to do it (E.g. conlist).

It has excellent support for JSON and JSON schemas out of the box.

Error messages are excellent! Tells you exactly what went wrong (most of the time) during validation.

I do use Pydantic even when Dataclass and NamedTuples are sufficient, I know that's a bit cargo cultish but it lowers the mental overhead by just having to perfect one of way of doing things.
> Well, it's basically malicious compliance.

I get what you mean but technically its not compliance, as the law requires a simple yes no option. Definitively malicious though.
What are you even talking about? Of course I wouldn't. I also didn't say that I'm against researching ways to live longer, actually I said the opposite.
Rather than saying “it’s origins are x” which reads as if it’s either wholly or primarily based on x, I would say “it’s origins include” or something to that effect. To say “it’s origins are” doesn’t acknowledge the weight of Christian influence on the current tradition, as if it was perpetuated without being majorly changed.

As Christianity spread, holidays and traditions from many parts of the world were subsumed by it. The history of the Church showed that it’s easier to change people’s religious beliefs than some of their cultural traditions. If theologically insignificant elements of a pre-existing pagan tradition got rolled into a Christian holiday that doesn’t mean the holiday is “actually pagan” or observers are giving some deference to a pagan god.

That may not have been your message, but I wanted to point it out because I hear that very often by those who apparently have some axe to grind with the Church and come off as if the history of some Christian holidays is a big secret they uncovered.

Lack of browser support is mostly about using -start/-end suffixes, postcss would indeed be useful for this but the majority of the complexity is around requiring 2 different CSS files (ltr and rtl). I’d say with some simple aliasing with postcss you can drop that.
Has to be a browser preference and not a site preference.
It hasn't made me stop visiting any sites because the banners are almost omnipresent, but I've started using incognito mode way more, so I can blindly accept whatever the site wants me to.
Came here to say this but you said it better.

I don't check in my dependencies in my current project because I don't need to; but in earlier projects, I or we did, for various good reasons; and it worked perfectly well, and was extremely convenient for new developers.
Are there any good browser extensions for dealing with these banners? (auto clicking or blocking?)

On a side note, recently I built a website and did not need cookies at all (even though you can buy stuff, but there's not shopping cart)
So humanity has problems stemming from overpopulation and your take is that we should reduce the rate at which nature makes space for others? Death scares me as much the next person, but I feel like we’re not fully considering the consequences of “curing” it.

And call me cynical but IMO it’s naive to think that this technology would be accessible to the average person. If it makes it to market it’s going to cost a small fortune and every super wealthy person in the world is going to be throwing money at it. It’s going to be the luxury yacht of healthcare.
There is a reason why some companies have internal repos only policy, and libraries only get added to them after legal and IT review.
It's also smaller than the land area currently used by fossil fuel production (1.3% of US land area.)
> should really contain some wording against dark patterns
Something like: "Default option must be 'no tracking cookies'"?
Software companies would find a way to complicate things.

They should just make the tracking forbidden in general.
You’re really extrapolating a lot that I didn’t even come close to saying.

Sufficiently large companies are required to have a certain percent of their staff be CCP members making decisions. That also comes with money tied up in the company. That doesn’t mean every company is backed up by the government. You’re making wild straw men and getting enraged at your own argument.
The foreign company will still have an advantage in other places of the world if your company wants to export to the same locations.
Before you press Ctrl+C and type the correct command, your neighbour running Kitty has already got the last line of the output (which is often the only thing that one really needs).

I switched to Kitty because I felt that the increased speed produced a perceived improvement in my workflow.
Unfortunately in Germany that’s not true. Putting anything in someone’s computer without their approval is now considered illegal. Therefore even if you’re just using Matomo stats or anything that isn’t tracking and just functional you need to ask for permission.
That is idiotic and doesn’t solve the issue at hand at all
It's different for everyone.

I fear non-existence more than dying.
I use the "I don't care about cookies" browser extension with "Cookie AutoDelete". Cookies are managed client-side, those banners are redundant. The purpose of open standards is that you can have a user-agent that does whatever you want it to do, so take advantage of that.

Cookie banners are the dictionary definition of a meme. They give the site makers a piece of mind, helping them sleep better at night, even if they may have no other practical purpose. Other site makers see them and reproduce them because it gives them the same piece of mind, exposing the banners to more site makers. Obviously, there are better ways to get a piece of mind as webmaster, but you'd need first to explain the problem to a lot of people before anything changes.
For me this statement is a logical conclusion to the thought experiment ”imagine if everyone lived forever”. But I realize maybe for some it isn’t, so lets categorize this as an opinion.
You know what the company that owns this domain does?
> Since most crypto tokens produce negligible free cash flows relative to their market cap, they have approximately zero intrinsic value relative to their market price.

What's the intrinsic value of stocks that don't distribute dividends in this model?
Lack of legal liability for any kind of security exploit, and auditing processes for companies that allow wild west integration of libraries are the problem.
And this https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/ for a number of other platforms like Firefox and Chrome, and it's recommended by Firefox.
There are belief systems that promote making children (Amish, Islam, etc.). Populations that practice these systems will eventually take over.
To add to that, the world's economy depends on capital growth, at any cost(pun intended). Considering the blow to GDP if those trillions disappeared, the governments & policy makers would never let that happen.
> If the lawmakers in the EU were intelligent

If bureaucrats helping create these laws were less out of touch. I think they are reasonably intelligent, they just don't know anything about technology. The criteria for selecting them is outdated.
While I don't remember if and how much I've used it, I have to actively restrict my searches not to give me SO results, but the reference material I am looking for.

So my guess is that SEO is what takes people to SO first, even if it might not get the best results. (And sure, some of that search ranking is due to people recommending it left and right for real: it is actually organic and not fake)

I've long ago accepted that my brain doesn't like learning how most others seem to (I also don't like flowcharts, and prefer dense reference material) — this is not to discredit their way of learning, just recognizing the differences.
I think that what's happening in Afghanistan now is somewhat the fault of British governments since Blair, but also reveals the limits of British power. The decision to pull out was Biden's, the UK was a passenger.
Thousands of hours have gone into building Molecule.dev over the past year, which itself is the culmination of tens of thousands of hours of experience, honing in on the absolute best tools and approaches. It makes no sense to give it all away for free. As much as I would love to live in a world where we could all freely share our hard work like this, people need to make a living somehow.

Starting this week, however, we'll be publishing regular articles about the inner workings, design decisions, and architecture, among other things. We may actually cover some of the core basics and release sample code with documentation. We'll probably publish at least 2 articles per week.
Cool way to try to classify things and noted that this shouldnt be used as hierarchies. I think we can all agree we all worked in some aspect of these classes, across companies, teams or even over time !

What I have never seen is a fully-competent organisation, with everyone good-willing, customers happy, management rational, employees compensated to everyones' satisfaction (customers/management/employee himself). I think it's impossible now, since humans can have all the spectrum of behaviour in the span of a week, from competent specialist to incompetent politician hiding a mistake under the rug, and that attempts to fix that by process are doomed to simply either hide or worsen disorganisation.

But good to know at least some people try to grade the level of mess :D
Hi, just wanted to say that this project is awesome and inspiring. Thanks.
I agree, if anything we should have one accept banner when you open a web browser.

I'd prefer to have a single prompt for all websites read something like:
"You are about to browser the internet. The internet can track you, just like a native application but transparently such that you can inspect and see who and how it is done easily using built in tools to the web browser. Click accept to keep it this way? Otherwise, expect vendors find harder to understand and detect methods." [Proceed to the Internet, Stay home Instead]
Talk of political education makes me nervous, perhaps because I have an education.
Bats are amazing neighbors. For years our neighboor had a massive pine tree that was hone to a pretty significant bat population. We would always see them come out at night and start feeding. Mosquitoes were never an issue. A few years ago the tree had to be cut down because it was rotting inside and was at danger of falling down. Unfortunately the bats haven't returned, and everyone in my neighborhood is now fighting the mosquito.
I have a user agent that don't accept cookies. So I do not care what the sites tries to give me, they just go to /dev/null. Why oh why do I need to see those stupid banners then?
Workers Are Using ‘Mouse Movers’ So They Can Use the Bathroom in Peace
Of course that's true too :)

The problem is that most people blame 'the EU'.
You mean the original developer? When was he last involved? The problems I ran into, and saw other people experiencing, related to more recent maintainers. I'm not sure it's helpful to keep dredging up old issues like this.
It has been proven that if platforms don't ramm through, their users will keep using the old ways as long as they can.

I wouldn't push the upload button unless it is a last resort.

It's a philosophy problem about consciousness and continuity more than anything else. Call it the star trek teleporter problem.
Thanks for the correction!

At the very least, I've stopped setting it since no website respects it.
There are a number of studies that show that the provision of cheap/free childcare can increase birth rate.
Here's how it works:

1. Privacy advocates are worked up about cookies.

2. Lawmakers decide to do something, it'll look good.

3. Web depends on ads, so they find workarounds.

4. Everyone suffers.

5. Return to step 1. <-- You are here.
