To add to that. Data Protection is "kind of" in the constitution of Germany. In the constitution there is a part about free development of personality. The German constitution court thinks that data protection is necessary to achieve the free development of personality, which is why data protection is constitutional right in Germany.
This is a misinterpretation of my comment. I am complaining that people make decision optimizing one KPI without considering collateral damages. I am criticizing the thought process leading to a decision. Not its outcome.
For the time being it's still OK. It asked me once to try the "premium" version or whatever it's called, I said no, and it never bothered me again.

I don't know what licence Postman uses. A quick search on GitHub didn't turn up the source of the app on the Postman Labs page. Insomnia is MIT [0], so it could still be forked if Kong got decided to stop supporting the free version.

I only “accepted” the mandate from my employer because I won’t risk my family’s well being for a piece of paper. I’m 100% pro vaccination (got a Moderna booster two day ago even) but am 110% against mandates.

The government using private industry as a proxy to enforce policy they know will not pass the legal process is wrong.
This is a neat trick, no question.

It is only about the performance of the decorator itself, not about the decorated class, right? So faster imports (if imports are your bottleneck) but equally-performant classes.
It's called webhosting at a hosting provider. ;) It works for me like this since the 90's. Here in Europe there are literally hundreds or thousands of webhosts. Some pricier, some faster, some cheaper.

I host some websites at Antagonist in The Netherlands. But I'm strongly considering moving, although they are by far the fastest and most reliable party I've seen.

Why? Because they - just like a lot of other European webhosts the last years - are now part of some vague sh1tshow called Group.one or something. I don't know what this organisation is up to, but I don't trust it for a second. I guess they are trying to become some European version of AWS or something. Data grabbers, probably.

Every sincere webhost that became part of their 'network' (they sell it like this, but it's just a merger/acquisition) uses stupid wording in their press releases, customers are not kept up to date about these important changes (only after the fact, of course) and they all of a sudden are now offering 'cloud storage' like it's Dropbox.

This was a bigger reply then I intended. But thanks for yours!
Well, if you're a bit too bullish about your shit, your shit is probably bullshit
I am not really surprised people don't care, they mostly want technology for either status or convenience and I don't think I can blame them for the latter
My hope was that involving the cops was scary enough (they took down the details of that person, and issued a formal order to vacate), and that the immediate monetary "punishment" in form of those 20 bucks (which is a lot of bottles) helped too. I felt it was a reasonable severe response to what happened. Causing that guy a lot of legal trouble, aside from clogging up the legal system with not even 20 bucks worth of damages, seemed unreasonable.

Those cops are also regularly working that area (they in fact were already in the park when I called, and I had seen them before doing their rounds), and if that bottle collector violated their order to vacate, it would have had actual consequences. And if he pulls the same shit again, the cops will have a "you again moment", and probably mention that to the next person who makes a complaint and at the very least issue a much longer order to vacate. And since they didn't mention anything to me, I am assuming it was the first time the cops were called on that guy, and we Germans have a tendency to call the cops quite often ;)

It also saved me from a lot of hassle myself, of course, not having to go to the police to give a signed statement, maybe show up in court, etc.

Putting aside IP and feasibility concerns, what is the longterm roadmap? This is obviously not a VC scalable product business if it acts as a broker to (albeit expensive) human consultants.

Are they hoping to get enough training data from the consulting practice to bootstrap an AI code review product?
Yeah. One danger for life is the star cooking it. But the other is that the solar wind will tend to strip away a planets hydrogen if life doesn't develop photosynthesis to give the planet an ozone layer fast enough. It took life on Earth most of a billion years[1] fooling around with chemosynthesis before photosynthesis took off. It's a hard step and life around a red dwarf would be on a much more stringent timeframe than life on our planet was.

Antibody dependent enhancement. There are some infectious diseases for which the antibodies created by vaccination actually make it more likely for patients to get infected by the actual virus. There is no reliable evidence of this happening with COVID-19.

There's a difference between owning something or renting it. When you rent something, there's a contract you sign that specifies what you can and can't do. You generally expect the owner to have the technical capability to enforce the contract in case you breach it. But when you own it, then no one else should retain any sort of control over it, period. It's yours only. (You obviously don't own something if you got it on a loan, not until you paid it off.)
Rewriting the MVP immediately leads to the dangers of second system syndrome.

Fixing the obvious problems is obviously needed. But refactoring is the way instead of doing the MVP again. After all the domain is still barely understood.
This happened to my daughter. I got a notification that she'd changed her profile picture and it was changed to text that looked Arabic to me. Between the time I said something to my wife about it and my wife pulling up Facebook on her phone, the account was locked and disappeared.

HERE'S THE SOLUTION:

Purchase an Oculus device. Do not open it. It's a Facebook product and requires a Facebook account to use it. Oculus tech support has humans and inside channels to resurrect Facebook accounts that have been left in limbo by the dumb Facebook automated support.

Once you get your account back, return the Oculus device for a refund.

You have to act fairly quickly because the suspended Facebook accounts are permanently deleted and become completely unrecoverable after around 30 days.
Another pro you might not hear about much is sleep. I slept like a baby the night I had each shot.
This is because of a law, but also because nearly all commercial websites try to track you. I would be completely fine with forbidding it in any case and destroying a very parasitic advertising industry if the popup is too much.
Interestingly, ALL the comments here are about how bad it is, because, apparently, "NO MONEY = NO HAPPINESS".

Yet I've been blessed to live in several countries, and can speak from experience that most poor families I've seen are on average more happy than most rich families, in both US and Eastern Europe. They only think that they are unhappy, because of the constant struggle with money, but I've seen many lives of people to think otherwise.

So I'm not that pitiful towards the author. Their parents didn't have mental health issues, no one got killed or injured, so I'd say they lived mostly happy life, comparing to others.
I read the Shaw 1994 paper in full, and have a rebuttal paper that makes me confident the author's goal of an architectural programming language will fail.

The paper is A Note on Distributed Computing (1994) [1], and a choice quote is:

Historically, the language approach has been the less influential of the two camps. Every ten years (approximately), members of the language camp notice that the number of distributed applications is relatively small. They look at the programming interfaces and decide that the problem is that the programming model is not close enough to whatever programming model is currently in vogue (messages in the 1970s, procedure calls in the 1980s, and objects in the 1990s). A furious bout of language and protocol design takes place and a new distributed computing paradigm is announced that is compliant with the latest programming model. After several years, the percentage of distributed applications is discovered not to have increased significantly, and the cycle begins anew.

Even in 1994, failures at achieving this dream were cliché. I will not resummarize the paper, but I will explain the crux of the problem with architectural languages.

The problem with this dream is that to achieve it, (1) everything would need to be rewritten in a single language and (2) to support remote distribution, every procedure/interface/method would need to have full remote semantics. Many languages have tried this, including Smalltalk-sympathetic object message-passing languages like Erlang or Akka Actors. What you quickly realize when working with these languages is that the semantics of ordering, retries, idempotency, synchronization (all of the concepts that fit under the CAP theorem) are not easily expressed in a language. If you have anything remote whatsoever, whether that's an API or a database, the whole thing breaks down. Naive programmers using languages with message passing that say "when you need to scale, you can just make that function remote" find out very quickly that you cannot.

The industry solution to this problem is one of interfaces and patterns, not all-encompassing languages. Use of an RPC or serialization data format (even heterogenous ones!) across subsystems provides transport glue, and another piece of software can provide semantics to make software work in concert together. If systems are connected together actively, that software is called an orchestrator, and it makes all the calls directly. If systems are connected together passively, the subsystems themselves engage in choreography, and need to support a partial protocol of idempotency, awareness of ordering, retry semantics, etc.

I think every serialized media is presented at a set speed, but that speed is rarely a carefully determined value. It’s just an artifact of the creator’s speaking or editing characteristics.

Which leads me to personally conclude: there is probably no single correct speed and the author likely hasn’t picked an ideal speed either.

Speed up or slow down based on your personal needs.
> trapped ... dark patterns

Yes, this is what it feels like.

Now.

Because the industry is in a Wil-E-Coyote moment. Their business model has always been more than shady, a shadiness that has now officially been defined as illegal.

Industry response to "you are not allowed to do this" has been "but I really wanna", and they think that they can get out of complying with the law via these dark patterns about tricking the user into giving them "consent".

All of this crap is illegal.

Tricking users into "giving" you "consent" is illegal, as is coercing them. The law is very clear about this.

It will take a while for the wheels of justice to grind, but grind they will.

In the meantime, we apologise for the inconvenience, but the world will be a better place.
If you consent it’s definitely as abused as previously, but at least in the EU there’s definitely less abuse of people who choose not to consent.
Why does Tesla even care if the car owner is delinquent on the bank note? At the time of the sale, Tesla was paid in full by the bank.

Is Tesla trying to become the underwriter of future loans, and this is their way of testing their automated repossession process?
The cumulative damage being done by FB to the modern society is dramatically larger and with profound long-term effects.
Thankfully, most already have an established solution for it. Express (read Node) had Passport.js and NextJS has NextAuth. Not without their flaws, but they will solve 99% of use cases.
While I agree in general, some forms of code reviewing require less context than others. They say "We review within your tools to catch security threats, stop crashes, and fix performance issues before they reach production.", and it does seem to me that these things are less a matter of style/context than just noticing potential issues. Not sure though, I had the exact same thoughts as you when first seeing this.

Edit: to be clear, I personally don't see the value here, just playing devil's advocate.
That's the equivalent of 'a mere matter of engineering'. Developing anti-viral drugs is hard, for plenty of viruses we have vaccines but no anti-virals, for RNA based viruses (which mutate rapidely) anti-virals are even harder.
That's a shame in itself, I see self hosting as the holy grail of the internet. There are a lot of good webhosts though. Worked in the 90's, and still works today.
On top of what others have already flagged this is a big no for any companies security & compliance. Why would any company share their private codebase ?
Because often times interviewers like to feel clever and come off as smarter than the people they are interviewing. It’s a very human thing to do. And something we should strive to avoid as I think it’s a terrible quality.
I once paid for most of my trip to a hacker event in Germany by picking up and returning all the discarded bottles of beer and Club Mate. It took maybe two hours.
Yeah, Omicron is is still potentially a huge threat to countries which both have low vaccine uptake amongst the most at risk and avoided people being infected by previous variants. I think that might only apply to Germany, Austria and China at this point though - almost everywhere on the planet had widespread infection in past waves, and the exceptions generally have high vaccination rates by now.
Right, indeed. Glass jars (usually) have a deposit when they are "multi-use", while single-use plastic containers (and some single-use glass ones) do not. I lost many euros thanks to that, because I didn't know for a long time, and dumped my yogurt glass jars into the normal glass collection containers. It would have been easy to collect the deposits, since I am doing that for all the bottles I use anyway. :P
I hope my boss doesn't think, "It's cheaper to pay for this service than for us to review our own PRs. Outsource ++!"
> If they had to eat their own dogfood instead, things would get fixed.

I assume they are using their own product. At FAANG size, these bad cases are probably just noise at best if you only look at the big picture. A hundred people losing access to their facebook account every week week is nothing if you have billions of users. So I guess it just doesn't happen to employees enough to appear to be a problem. And if it does, it's so easy to fix since you are facebook, that it doesn't even occur to most that this might be a very different experience for normal people. Sadly, a few employees caring and and maybe even occasionally raising their voice about this internally isn't enough. It's great they volunteer to help out, but as GP says, it doesn't scale and only works as long as it's a secret trick for people who know someone...

I've lost my YouTube account I used in college in another stupid fashion that should be easy to recover (or rather, verify that it's mine) if someone with half a brain looked at the issue, but we all know how easy it is to talk to a human at Google if you have problems with a non-payed account there, so I didn't even bother trying. Cousin of mine doesn't remember the email account she used when she registered her Minecraft account (9 years ago, at age 13). I payed for that account. I still have the PayPal Transaction ID, exact date of purchase, Account Name and UUID. They should be able to verify the account wasn't logged into for years. Nope, not enough. Well at least you could actually talk to a human there...
Sincerely: regard it as a blessing, and embrace being free of Facebook. There are indeed alternatives to communicating with others.
This tells me that the pricing model is likely based on a previous usage study. They must have found that the average user requests less than 2.5hrs of code reviews per month. Otherwise, the pricing doesn’t make sense to me.

> I don't like talking about tech and business in a sense of 'weapons', 'winning', 'smashing the competition', etc. Talking about it in this sense makes it a struggle, because one will look at tech from the pov of a stockholder, capitalist, or just a narcissist. The wording is very important, and the moment you make that wording your own, you can't see it in a different light anymore.

I like this paragraph a lot, in my perception this is why most of cryptocurrency initiatives and recently hijacked and massacred `web3` concept are fruitless so far - too much focus on how to get rich quickly

The problem is almost entirely because the hippies don't have money for the law firm or lawsuit. Only by projects joining groups like GNU or The Linux Foundation or Apache do the hippies suddenly have lawyers on tap.
No it doesn't mean anything like that.
This is good point and definitely more doable when the company is already centralized.
Sounds like you have a good life.
Indeed that is another problem and why policy needs to shift to counter that - but don't forget that Bitcoin et al will be, are involved in the same regulatory capture game - holders are financially incentivized to try to be the ones to gain control.

I like Andrew Yang's core policy proposals including Ranked Choice Voting, and most notable I believe is his Democracy Dollars policy - wherein every eligible voter gets $100/year voucher they can allocate to the political candidate of their choice, which would wash out the corporate lobbyist money of roughly $4 billion with 8 times that by citizens (including giving those who can't afford $100/year for an additional layer of "voting with money" to fuel/funding the political system), meaning $4 billion to up to $32 billing from eligible voters; https://andrewyang.com - Andrew Yang, ran in last Presidential race as a Democrat - polled higher than Kamala Harris and raised half that of Bernie Sanders, starting as an unknown - then ran for Mayor of NYC, and author of The War on Normal People, and most recently Forward: Notes On The Future Of Our Democracy - which in part was to announce the new relatively centrist political party he started called the Forward Party.

I feel another noteworthy policy proposal of his is Journalism Dollars, similarly where you give every individual say $50/year voucher to fund/support the journalist of your choice - so then journalism and news media isn't adversely incentivized by the advertising dollars coming in from industrual complexes (including from the political establishment/duopoly of the arguably captured Democratic-Republican parties).
Except of course that it isn't. If you look closely at the available data you'll see that since the start of the vaccination campaigns the ratio of people dying/being hospitalized versus the number of people infected has steadily improved. Without the vaccines it would be a completely different ballgame.

There is plenty wrong with big pharma, but right now they are doing a reasonably good job at helping us all.
How I became a person who wakes up early
If my net worth is 1 cent, and I pick up 37 cents on the street, I’ve increased my net worth over 37-fold.

But I’m still worth only 38 cents. Maybe I can buy a gumball. Maybe.

37-fold is meaningless. Unfortunately this press release doesn’t have anything more useful either.
Most US car dealerships will make a new key for someone repossessing a car. As Tesla is the dealership this seems like the exact same situation, the only difference is someone with the key can now remote summon the car.
> Come to Europe, most of those designers will be using Windows machines issued by IT to everyone on the building anyway.

That's not my experience at all. I would not make such a generalizations for Europe which includes very different cultures / work environments.
Nah, the golden era is long behind us. Every site looks exactly the same using all the same bloated libraries, bootstrap CSS and hosted on the same 3 cloud providers.

Gone are the days of instant load 20kb sites or quirky flash marvels hosted on anything from an home laptop to VPS.

In the mobile first mess where you have to debug your crap not just on multiple browsers but devices there's never been a more mundane time. I won't even get into plumbing.

More colour choices would be great. Sometimes I use my second screen just for face illumination during video calls. I found that ft.com salmon-pink is one of the better choices.
Reminds me of my shelf of O'Reilly books.

Each one goes along side with a weekend or week of reading and learning. A few of them were something I needed to learn to get something done for work. A few more were things I learned for personal use.

But the majority of them, I just read because "I might need to know more about" something. Building Microservices? Java 3D Graphics? Python for Data Analysis?

Read at least a couple chapters of each. Wasted time for sure.
The R value model is a doomsday sayers dream, because any increase automatically means exponential growth. Any growth, no matter how tiny, translates to scary graphs.
I mentioned this idea to a very knowledgeable enterprise architect. I was mentioning how much I'd enjoyed being able to use the code review process in this way. His reply: As good of an idea that is, it breaks Agile. So long as the code meets the biz-provided spec, it must be accepted, and if there are other concerns with the code, to make a tech debt ticket to address it at a later date.

This, of course, horrified me.
There was just something romantic about the tech of the cold war. Now things are mostly a bit of code injected here or hidden there, but the cold war (and even WWII) was this steady stream of curious gadgets and methods of collecting and passing information.
They don’t need to be the underwriter to affect the underwriting process. By enabling this feature, banks could be more willing to make loans to credit challenged people, thus rendering more Tesla’s on the road.
That's the average, but if you look at the under 40 cohort, the risk is doubled (Figure 2). The Myocarditis cases from vaccination overwhelmingly affect males in the younger age groups.
From a quick look at the code, it seems to be doing something similar, except it does it for you. Here's a link to the Firefox bit, where it makes a custom Firefox profile and then injects a certificate into it: https://github.com/httptoolkit/httptoolkit-server/blob/maste...

I haven't seen the source for the .deb package, but in theory it could add a system cert at installation time. I don't know if it does, though.
