It is just as easy as it is to run EU things in the US.

Google can run the same servers and stuff in Europe with European stuff in their own servers. They just disable things not allowed in EU and don't send user data to the US.
It's a trap!!!
The predecessor to GOAL was GOOL and was 100% Andy's work. We used it to code the logic for the objects in the Crash games (critters, platforms, etc.) and I actually wrote the entire load/save UI in it as well! I assume GOAL was also all Andy but I don't know that for sure because I only worked on the Crash games.

ITA's use of Lisp was driven by our co-founder and Chief Scientist, Carl de Marcken. He wrote the prototype in LispWorks, then the production code in Allegro, and then we finally ported everything to CMUCL when Franz essentially tried to extort us for a tax on our entire business. (We couldn't imagine this would become the norm for consumer "apps" five years later, but that's another topic entirely.)

Ultimately the MIT AI Lab circa 1993 was the source of the decisions to use lisp for both these commercial products. At the time, the lab's culture was still very much influenced by all the work done there and in spin-off companies in the late 80s commercializing lisp, e.g., at Symbolics (first registrant of a .com domain name!)

At INKY (my current startup) we use Python. By 2010, when I started the incubator that evolved into INKY, it was pretty clear that scaling a development team on a lisp stack was going to be really difficult.
"opinion" is probably the wrong word when we are talking about countries but people in Hungary and Poland seem to favour more nationalistic and conservative politics and have a thing for strong leaders.

It's a bit like California v.s. Alabama situation. Also, not limited to Poland and Hungary, it pans along the West v.s. East, so it's like North vs South in the US.

For example, EU says you have right to bring your partner to EU. Then Denmark says that you can register a long term relationship and have the full rights without a formal marriage, Poland will say that you need to marry.

It also goes beyond the social issues as the strong leaders tend to mangle with the judiciary system to make their ways and EU is really not happy about it. When that happens, the countries get fined and their leaders will bash EU in a similar way like some American politician bash the federal government.
I want OkCupid for recruiting. Recruiter puts what they're looking for, I put what I'm looking for and what my actual skills/experience are. Additional questions ("Family friendly policies?", "Active diversity program?") get answered with a rating (not important/kinda important/very important) and whether an answer is mandatory. Algorithm generates closest matches, you get matches in e-mail. Assuming the candidate is interested, the job listing can require questions of the candidate, so the employer can filter who is applying and avoid manually going through 1000's of resumes (huge problem in hiring)
There are a lot of scams which start off with step 1: "Convince people that you have a lot of money".

I have no skin in this game, but Jack clearly demonstrated that data is passing through servers that our controlled by US-owned entities - namely Cloudflare and Digital Ocean ... what am I missing ?
I'm not so pessimistic, but yes, the situation is not encouraging.

Security assessment should have been part of due diligence.

Now I know investors don't care much about this, but they should, lest they want to see their investments on the news in not so flattering colors.
Last I look and played around with Nim, what I felt was missing is a good way of doing templating. Beyond that I honestly enjoyed working in Nim more that both Go and Rust, which where the other two language I attempted to learn last year.
The HP48 series does exceptionally for basic scientific and engineering computation against computers with modern languages like Python. I could compute, script, and similar in it very efficiently. The problem is:

1) It's an integrated implementation. For example, RPL makes sense when you have the brilliant HP48 keyboard, and one-key access to many of the commands. It makes little sense if you're manually typing things. The number of keystrokes would go up 3-4 fold on a PC keyboard, and correspondingly, the number of stupid errors. You can't mistype a command if it's one button, or two keystrokes through the menu system.

2) Getting all of that integration, synergy, and polish requires a huge engineering and design effort and brilliant people. One-off projects can't meet it. A lot have tried.

3) The newest HP48 has a 4MHz 4-bit CPU, 128kb of user RAM, and a 131x64 pixel display. This isn't competitive in 2022.

I'd love to have a modern HP48, with an 800MHz CPU, gigabytes of RAM, and a high-res display, but to be at all worthwhile, it'd need to have the same quality keyboard, the same level of polish, the same community, and otherwise. I don't think that's gonna happen.

Unfortunately, HP calculators peaked with the 48GX. Newer models were faster but gradually lost the polish of the older models.
Lots of innocents get harmed in that process. Would rather a different solution.
Simplification in this case means, it gets out of your way. The API surface is incredibly small. You have actually more flexibility than you do in Next.js with its proprietary methods.
It's about the user, not the website.

I'd guess a "European website" stands for a website that safeguards EU users by being compliant with GDPR.
I thought their response to this was very humble, and I wish them the best going forward.
As a European, frankly this is ridiculous.

I'm as concerned as anyone about privacy issues but GDPR has just gone too far in the sense that nobody really understands it (I've undergone trainings with 2x previous employers and everyone just kind of shrugs that it doesn't make sense and we'll do our best bla bla bla ...) and that now they're trying to make an actual useful piece of software illegal? And that for reasons that the very people they're trying to protect will completely fail to understand.

So many marketing departments depend on it, how can they realistically enforce this law?

I'm saying this as someone who's not a fanboy, GA can be a pain to use and overly complex, maybe Matomo is even better.

This is typical EU over reaching bs.
I recently had the unfortunate experience of attempting to recycle a Sonicair toothbrush. The "disassembly" process to extract the (dead) battery did not work as advertised, and I had to attack the case with several additional implements of destruction besides a hammer. I was shocked at how difficult it was. There is absolutely no way that the average consumer is going to succeed in extracting the battery, and so all those toxic materials are going to end up in landfills. Unfortunately, I've also tried many other electric toothbrushes and none of them work as well as my Sonicair. So I'm left with the horrible choice of either polluting the environment or settling for substandard care for my teeth.

:-( :-( :-(
If that company is entirely separate (but happens to have the same investors) and no more money flows between them than the cost of IP, then that may just work. You'll have to be careful not to let shares fall into the wrong hands, though because the two companies might eventually grow apart as a result of having different shareholders with different opinions.

Such a move might also be frowned upon by the American government, because you're essentially cutting them off from part of your company. I think this concept would work from an EU standpoint, but it wouldn't surprise me if the US government would prevent you from doing that, or even hold you personally accountable.

You'd also need to get a pretty good analysis of tax laws because suddenly the top owner of the company isn't foreign to the EU anymore, and that could be a problem for the tax evasion schemes big tech is such a fond of.

All in all, I doubt it's worth the hassle. As a customer of Google Analytics you'd need to have some logic to load either the European or the global analytics script, and the data cannot be combined into one overview without stripping a lot of important context (or breaking the law in the same way).
> You can gamify individuals improving their own metrics.

Here's how that goes.

"Daryl we have deadlines and we need you to make sure these tickets get completed!"

You burn the midnight oil and then a month later:

"Daryl, your productivity metrics are lower than last month, why aren't you a team player?"

It's a trap.
To your question 'how to get through the automated resume screening', I literally just wrote a post today on Dev.to:
https://dev.to/kavyaj/how-to-get-noticed-by-tech-recruiters-...

For the other points:
Firstly, I would say personalizing your application for the role you are applying for really helps. Sometimes students fresh out of college mention a ton of skills on their resumes that they only have an idea about. That wouldn't really help unless you can really contribute. Write only those skills that you're confident about and have some projects to back your claims.

Secondly, connect with people within the company that you're applying for - they needn't be the direct hiring manager but anyone who can give you some reference, some insights would really help you get an edge over the other candidates. You can find folks on LinkedIn, Twitter or other public platforms to connect.

Hope this helps and good luck for your search!
My son pushed through his VR sickness, and now doesn't really suffer from it. He plays at least a couple of hours of VR each day. Boneworks, H3VR, Onward, Pavlov, RecRoom, Blade & Sorcery, Half-life Alyx, and other games he just loved. I can go maybe 15 minutes in it, and VR isn't really something I'm that into (despite it being a fantasy of having it since I was a kid). Although VR shooters have kind of ruined 2D shooters for me now :( Thing is, when I play a game, I don't want to move around - as an adult, I've been busy all day, now I just want to sit on a couch and chill.

VR was key to my son making it through the pandemic with his sanity intact. But he does seem to be a rarity - he has a couple of friends that have VR and they just play Beat Saber, if that.

If there was an updated Garry's Mod for VR - we'd never get him out of there!
There is very little evidence for this. A number of developers have complained about refunds, but when looking into any of their actual cases, you see no real evidence of refund abuse, normal 2-5% refund rates, etc. In most of the cases I've seen developers complain there's been no evidence of refunds, but the games have sold poorly to begin with, and the attention from complaining in public about how mean all the refunders are seems to be a marketing technique more than anything. Meanwhile, there are enormous numbers of success stories amongst short games. And there's not really any incentive to add filler content, because adding filler content takes real development time, driving up the budget.

Probably the most famous overtly fraudulent example seems to be "Summer of '58", a game developed by a Russian developer who claimed 30-50% of their players refunded. Here's an in-depth investigation of this claim that finds absolutely no evidence to support it: https://newsletter.gamediscover.co/p/steam-refund-worries-ki... -- it doesn't positively prove that there's no refund abuse, but it makes refund abuse incredibly unlikely. Basically, it's possible to tell if someone who reviews the game refunded the game or not. So for there to be systematic refund abuse, it needs to be people who play the game to completion, then refund the game, but don't leave a review: but this pattern is not seen in any other games where developers report far lower refund rates.

Gamediscover has also had a number of developers share refund data directly for this article and other articles, including developers of short games (some as short as 20 minutes long), and none have had anything in the ballpark of the studios who have made press cause celebre pushes claiming incredibly high refund rates.

One thing to consider about this entire claim: if someone intends to proxy-pirate the video game by buying it, playing it, refunding, and cackling off into the sunset... why wouldn't they just pirate the game, something that is absolutely trivial to do? It's not really coherent to say a huge swath of gamers are manipulative enough to refund, have no moral compunction about doing so, but are too technically stupid to pull it off.

Finally, think about this from Valve's side -- if a huge % of <2 hour games were being refunded, why wouldn't Valve adopt the apparently easy proposal of allowing short game developers to set a flag that alters their refund %age? Doesn't Valve's choice not to do this suggest that they don't really view it as a common thing?
How much soda did you drink? I can't imagine a small can of coke makes a difference.
I find the idea that I, sitting in my basement office, could hand-craft something nearly as powerful and maintainable as Spring Boot, as part of the project I'm actually working on, totally laughable.

And the idea that this bespoke framework would somehow be more maintainable in five years is just lunacy. Even if Spring falls out of fashion, you'll still be able to find people that have a decent knowledge of Spring in five or ten years, just like you could find people who knew COBOL in the 90s. But how are you supposed to hire for "some guy that can figure out WTF this dude was doing when he wrote his own ORM a decade ago?"

Yeah as far as I’m aware there is no public reporting of conflicts. (Loss of separation minima, also called a “deal” in ATC speak)

It’s feasible to build this using ADS-B data.
Just stop accepting recruiters are a necessary part of the process. They aren't. Especially the spammy ones.

Recruiters typically charge 20% of your salary to a company that recruits you. If you apply directly to the company and they hire you, they save a lot of money. That gives you a significant advantage over people who rely on recruiters to find them roles. If you're looking for a new job, make a short list of places you'd like to work at and cold email them. You might be surprised just how receptive they are. (This won't work if you're looking at FAANGs though.)

This is a very good point. It reminds me of when the US FBI was "hacked". Where hacking meant that you could send emails from the client-side.

Unless they go full on Great Firewall and block VPNs all they'd achieve is to make VPNs go even more mainstream (and while many adults may still not be used to VPNs, they can ask their kids - most of my sons friends all have VPNs set up for everything from evading region blocks for content to ban evasion from game servers)
My advice is to accept your feelings, whatever they are. There is no right or wrong when it comes to how you feel, only what is.
I am surprised with such sentiments every time I hear them. How do you envision running a server in EU without complying with the EU laws and obeying the court orders?
If there is any hope for this space it's in VR, the technology necessary for a quality AR experience is so far away from what is currently possible that it's basically DOA as a product.
You can check for your self in the username of your parent comment, which includes a racial slur. This specific slur is common in Hungary so make of that what you will when judging the amount of bias in that comment.

On a side note I am not sure if that username complies with HN TOS.
Tsar bomba was detuned to 50 Mega tons from 100. The US deployed 25 MT bombs. Modern nukes are smaller because the delivery systems are better (a MIRV with ten 1 MT does more damage and is more reliable that a single 25 MT warhead)

Honest Q: in geological standards, was this even a big blast?
MS is completely entrenched in so many EU companies that this will never happen.

You can't even get people that need a simple word processor or spreadsheet to use LibreOffice.
Hurricane Katrina made very little damage directly, as an effect of the energy of the wind. Almost all the damage was caused by the flood, which in turn turn was a consequence of the levees failing.

It doesn’t make much sense to compare the energy released by Katrina to that of the Tonga eruption.
It is honestly the same in tech. The idea/product guy is still there and so are the people piecing it together. But the people in the middle: task masters, documentation writers, manual testers, etc are always being automated away.

The middle jobs are under attack.
Future jobs will just be feeding the AI til it no longer needs us.
Do you think that if Hamas and all the other militant/terrorist organizations in Gaza surrendered all of their weapons to Israel tomorrow, conditions would improve for Palestinians? Do you think Israel would accept mass Palestinian (Arab) immigration? Do you think Israel would release its control of Palestine's borders? Do you think Israel would stop evicting Arabs and establishing Jewish colonies in Palestine?

If you think all of these things, then you should look at the history of occupied territories much more closely.

> I wonder what the UK or US would do if the kids in London and NY would need to run to shelters a few times a week because of missile attacks. I'm sure they would seek to proportionally kill just as many terrorists right?

The US and UK are farthest from my mind in terms of potential models of good behavior in such situations. They have been some of the worse offenders in history in terms of unequal retaliation - the US's ongoing twenty-year plus war in the Middle East as punishment for 9/11 being one of the prime examples of unacceptable behavior in recent memory.

> It's not as if Israel can just decide to absorb this and do nothing, what country would do nothing in such a state?

Again, Israel is the original aggressor here. This fact is of utmost importance - Hamas was born in response to Israeli aggression, not the other way around. Israel could have chosen not to occupy the Gaza strip, West Bank, and East Jerusalem in 1967. Even once they chose to occupy these territories, they could have chosen to integrate them as parts of Israel, and offer citizenship to their occupants - but of course, this would have meant that Israel was no longer a Jewish state, having a majority Arab population, which was deemed (and is still deemed) unacceptable.

Would the world be a better place had the Palestinians chosen to sacrifice their own interests and accepted to live as sub-humans under Israeli military rule, without retaliating against Israelis (remember, this was the state of Gaza and the other Palestinian territories between 1967 and 1994)? Yes, undoubtedly. Is it fair and reasonable to ask such a thing of an entire people? I certainly don't believe so.

I've been tempted a few times to simply use salt and a single iteration SHA-256 to store passwords, and put something like this on the account creation and password change screens:

> If you care about the security of your account use a 20+ character random password and do not reuse that password at any other sites. There are several excellent password managers that can generate and remember such a password for you and make it easy to use. Here's a list: <link to list of password managers>.

> We allow all normal US printable characters in your password: upper and lower case A-Z, digits, and <list of punctuation>. Set your password generator to length 20+ and to use mixed case, digits, and symbols and you will be fine.

> If you think you might have to manually type this password at some point, you can use a reduced character set with a longer password. If you use just mixed case letters and digits make the password 22+ characters long. If you use just mixed case letters make it 23+ characters. Letters all of the same case? Make it 28+ characters. 32+ characters of hex is fine, too. Heck, you can make it all digits if you use at least 39 of them.

> If your password manager offers other options, such as patterns like groups of digits or pronounceable syllables separated by some symbol, that too is fine as long as you make it long enough. Make it long enough that your password manager gives it its highest strength rating.

> The exact upper limit on password length that our password entry fields allow might vary from time to time as we update the site, but will always be at least 64 characters.
Debugging? Like when you litter your code with printf (or console.log or whatever is cool today). Move fast, break things, ignore gdb
Out of curiosity, why the hate for git submodules? They've worked really well for me over the years. They solve the problem of "pin a specific version of some external 3rd-party repo" really nicely.

The only complaint I have is that the git-submodule CLI has unintuitive syntax. But this is Git after all, so it's par for the course. :v

>If the device is configured to attach to the company network isn't it within the company's rights to know that a device is logged on at any given time even under GDPR? Or would it be the publication of that information - even internally - that would be the issue?

Logging anonymized MAC addresses is one thing, but converting the MAC addresses to employee names, revealing their location on premises that is shared with everyone in the organization without their consent is a completely different thing and is illegal under most EU privacy laws (at least in Austria and Germany).

Sure, in theory the company could already know when I come it at work from the logs of me swiping my access badge at the main security entrance door but any such logs are kept private and can only accessed by security and upper management if some act of theft or gross misconduct has occurred which warrants an investigation.

Sharing this information publicly with everyone in the org would be a privacy breach. If you want to know if I'm "at work" just look at my Slack/$CHAT_APP notification color.
I’ve never had this as a problem, and I use 50-100ft of Cat5e + 10GBaseT SFP+’s… it’s well within the thermal limits of the SFP, which probably uses 2-5W.
I wouldn’t expect support for old versions, just the ability to download and install knowing that a downgrade by definition removes some fixes (and possibly restores something of interest).
Yes, I wouldn't put London on the "great" pile. Adequate. Tube is OK for longer distance, but the friction of getting on and off is a pain. Buses have to crawl through heavy traffic and pedestrians everywhere.

Warsaw in Poland IMHO has very good public transport. Reliable, timely, used to be cheap when I lived there (not sure how much it went up). Never struggled to get from A to B.
Bigoted literally means close-minded.

I have encountered many close-minded liberal opinions.

Think about this: we have seen ideas on the right that go too far (e.g., storming the capitol, white nationalism, racism or other forms of hateful discrimination). But there are ideas on the left that go too far also.

Who is keeping check on the other end? Can liberal or left-leaning ideas go to far? When they do, are they being criticized publicly or excuses/ignored? If that’s not happening then bigotry will become rampant.
