I meant it is a family business, not my family business. Like their website has a picture of their ancestor hauling a boiler on a cart pulled by a team of oxen and it's currently run by two brothers of the same last name and the same name as the business (so I think it's a safe bet it's still in the same family). The point was to contrast it with BigCo that has MBAs writing the rules and shareholders it's accountable to.

I do a substantial amount of business with that yard (and less of the corporate one, because they won't sell material and are generally way higher friction to do business with) and it looks like a very fine place to work. But this is also coming from someone who has worked in adjacent low margin industries so I have no delusions of ping pong tables in the break room.

To reiterate what I said before, they're taking young able bodied men who are willing to do physical labor (this is a demographic that can basically find new jobs at will, you can't really trap them in a shit job) and teaching them marketable skill. The fact that those employees don't just turn around and get a different job with that skill says something about the value proposition of working there.

Is it really so unbelievable to you that a business can not follow the letter of the law and not treat people like crap at the same time?

> I am doing mostly Ruby and code in Atom, or Sublime before that. I don't have noticeable starting times for my editor.

That's interesting, because there have been articles that indicate that Atom has not only comparatively worse startup times (which may or may not matter to people), but also really bad typing latency: https://pavelfatin.com/typing-with-pleasure/

> Ruby is not native, but we'll portable. My point is this 'boring' work style is here, people just choose to not use it.

This is a good point, though! As far as I know, plenty of people still use Ruby (typically on Rails), or also other "batteries included" solutions like Python and Django pretty successfully.

That said, most of these languages have pretty severe limitations in regards to their performance and resource usage: https://jaxenter.com/energy-efficient-programming-languages-...

Some lovely benchmarks seem to confirm that, in relatively real world conditions: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/

Admittedly, that doesn't matter for all projects, but why couldn't we have the ease of use of Python with the performance of Rust and the developer experience of Rails/Django?
The point of GDPR is to smack companies that fail to meet it hard on the nose, so hard, in fact, that it might break. The maximum penalty is 2% of yearly turnover. That's hurtful even to megacorps. No one, not even them, needs a broken nose.
Thanks for posting this. It helps to get some idea for anyone else curious like I was.

While its nice to know approximate pricing (since this apparently varies depending on their current production costs from what I can tell) ... the other project health issues can't really be solved from the outside. This feels like a shoestring budget academic project turned public participation project scraping by trying to avoid costing anyone anything. They are overly protective of their hardware and software compared to other collaborative data gathering projects like SatNOGS, ADSB-Exchange, etc... and they talk about how processing the data is so resource expensive that they can't afford to onboard too many new people.

I don't like it, but it just sounds like a project in such a fragile state that it could fold any day. I wish I could do something about it, but even if I had unlimited time and money, crucially it looks like efforts to change this would be rejected by the current project stewardship/leaders.

i have considered florida (moving from CA) but each time i look at rent cost it is not much cheaper than in CA if you want to be by the coast (e.g. west palm beach). there are people with money there too just like in CA. the difference is you will not have the network there that you can have in CA. no taxes is an advantage.

That's an unduly cynical take in my opinion. GDPR isn't about web sites and cookie preferences, although that is the most visible effect to users.

IMO Grid is actually simpler than Flex. Once IE11 is out of the picture, I think it might be worth considering teaching CSS beginners using a Grid-first approach.

There's matrix-docker-ansible-deploy (1), an Ansible Playbook that makes setting up a Matrix homeserver and bridges easier. But it's still a pain, like you said. I ran one for a while (with bridges for Skype, Instagram DM, etc), but decided it was too much work and deleted it.

One thing I don't see discussed is how increased longevity means that the inheritors are also older. This means that they have more and more of their own junk to deal with.

> Companies realize that competitors do not comply and that acting legally does not pay off. The wider non-compliance spreads, the harder it will get for authorities to gain back control with limited resources.

This is what makes writing good/effective law a non-trivial undertaking.

If the words on paper don't make positive sense, and negative behavior toward the words isn't backed up with punishment, then the effort corrodes and collapses.
Meta: I interpreted the "FU-Dyson..." in the project as "F*uck you Dyson", not "Firmware upgrade", did I make the right interpretation? :)

Also, this resembles why I'm very reluctant to buying an e-scooter in Sweden since basically all the ones available here are rebranded OEM Alibaba scooters with poor/fake battery implementations, so when it fails you'll be standing there with no way to get back on the saddle again.

Even the Swedish-branded Vessla scooters were rebranded OEMs from Alibaba, with minor cosmetic changes and a hefty premium. After a while the batteries turned out to be of poor quality, and after their v2, they quit that vertical entirely.

Looking forward to Segway launching their e-scooters in Sweden, at least I know it's a reputable brand standing behind it and can honor warranties etc. I want something quite small that I can have in the apartment (theft and vandalism otherwise), and can use to scoot my kid to school with.
Well the idea is that with proper enforcement the big abusers shouldn't be able to bypass it. The legislation itself is sane, it's just that enforcement is lacking.

> even worse just retract from the market

I disagree that this is worse - if privacy-violating monopolies retract from the market then it opens the doors for privacy-respecting competition to take its place.
> trained users to consent to anything that comes their way and corporations now have legal basis to use, process and sell that data.

Sorta? I don't consent to much when I get the pop-up. You can revoke consent at any time as well and you're entitled to the data the company has on you.
GDPR also opened the door for the eprivacy directive that brought us cookie law
I'd take some of this advice one step further. In the examples of when not to step up to fix a problem, the author states under-resourced teams. If you do step up to help out such teams, not only do you risk burning yourself out... you are also masking the problem. Helping those teams hit their targets sets up a long-term situation where leadership says, "They get their work done, so they must have enough resources."

It does feel off to not help is such situations. It feels like you are letting a team down. But in the long run, showing evidence that the team is under-staffed will force leadership to make a choice: Either increase staffing or decrease scope. Either way, the team is adjusted to have a healthy match between their staffing and their workload, the people have a healthier work environment, and the business has a more predictable and reliable work output from that team. Everyone wins.

I'm not saying to never help a team. I'm saying to look deeply at why the team needs help before jumping in. Maybe they could be fixed with mentoring or process improvements. Maybe their PM needs guidance in a better way to roadmap the work. There are many cases where you can jump in and help. But if the team really is running well, but simply overworked and under-staffed, that needs a different fix.

Being able to parse out the differences of where direct help is a benefit vs. a hindrance is exactly the type of perspective that takes people beyond the "senior" level role.

This is an excellent quote that reflects a notable share of opinions that I see in the comments here on HN whenever the GDPR is discussed:

> Hardly any other area of law is politicized to that extent – at least I have never heard that building or tax codes were openly ignored with the argument that compliance would “undermine the business model” of a company. The privacy bubble accepts such narratives as a legitimate argument.
I would argue that this is how you become a top leader. It's really discouraging to realize that only a certain type of people even want to win a popularity contest. Even dictators are winning the "more popular than the alternatives" contest, though the alternative might just be death.

Also that might be the stated responsibility, but the implicit one is to improve the outcomes relative to perceived alternatives. Many times the alternatives area manufactured.
> Any reasonable person would look at the standard and conclude there is no other implicit intent than to describe a standard.

That's complete nonsense. If there wasn't intent, it would just be random words making random rules. There was a reason and motivation behind the creation of those rules, and reasonable people can at least speculate about the motivation.

> If you are reasoning on any other machine that the C virtual machine, _you_ are wrong.

The underscore is very dramatic. :-)

> If you want to reason about X86, use assembly. Higher level languages are not coupled to any particular hardware.

I never said anything about X86. I think maybe you're reliving an argument with someone else.

However, all of i686, AMD64, ARM, AArch64, PowerPC, RISC-V, Alpha, PA-RISC, or any mass market server, desktop, laptop, or smartphone in the last 30 years have one address space and use 2's complement for signed integers. It's a choice for a high level language to pretend that's not true.
The GDPR has strict regulations on what counts as valid data processing consent. 90% of the consent popups you see out there do not fit that criteria and any "consent" obtained via them doesn't count.

You've repeated this in several comments. I seem to have a completely different experience to you because I find it extremely easy to read and understand rust. For sure, some constructs are tricky, like heavily generic iterators or something, but that's not rust so much as the concept that's tricky.
GDPR prevents companies like "safe"graph [1] from selling mined data:

>The GDPR (European Law)

> As of May 25, 2018, a new data privacy law known as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (or the "GDPR") went into effect through the EEA countries. SafeGraph does not offer products or services involving the collection or sale of “personal data” in EEA countries. We likewise seek not to collect such personal data from our data providers. Should any of the foregoing change, we will update this section of our Privacy Policy.

If this is not a net win, I don't know what is.

> and Linux is the easiest, largely because it's the default

If I'd need to hire someone for FreeBSD system administration, I guess I'd be in trouble. I did search through Upwork.com (Freelance portal, which I think represents trends for small to medium business and companies quite well) for vacancies, which gives me:

9 results for FreeBSD
2249 results for Linux
1584 results for Docker

Noting that finding good Linux-educated sysadmin/devops (if you are paying average on market) is not instant task, for FreeBSD my time prediction just doesn't work.

Starting something, smaller than Netflix scale, based on system which is hardly serviceable due to shortage of personnel, makes not much sense for me.

GDPR is a good idea, but it seems to be top-down and pushing against megacorp and user alike. As it stands, the law is only making it more expensive to be in the data harvesting business. These extra risks and requirements raise the barrier to entry for new firms and so just ends up cementing the market position of existing players.

If people start caring enough to actually cancel services that harvest their data, then the harvesting would stop. But it is very easy to underestimate the power of machine learning and correlation, especially when the data being correlated is gently sipped over years.
This is evidently intended for platform builders, not standalone site authors. As someone whose systems include content authored by nontechnical third parties, and favouring pure CSS solutions to layout concerns, I found it a useful discussion.

Hmm... If you're willing to run the scheduler and/or something sending artificial traffic yourself (and are willing to pay for a few warm instances), then it seems like you might be willing to get something very low-latency with these Fly Machines. You could maintain a pool of a few booted and ready to go (but idle, waiting for a request to come in) at all times. When a request comes in you pass that off to an already-warm machine and boot a new one ready for a later request.

Though I think ultimately it's going to be impossible to have all 3 of:

- Ability to deal with large traffic spikes

- Low-latency

- No provisioned resources

This is like saying that regulating damage to the environment is bad because would make businesses that can't exist without doing said damage would retract from the market.

A good example of the situation is cellulose. Various animals can eat it. Yet trees continue to flourish for hundreds of millions of years since biological machinery to digest cellulose is very energetically expensive and slow.
I think there is a huge difference between somebody willingly mistreating another person and that person taking offence to that, versus a company releasing an AI tool with absolutely no ill-intent, and then someone else making decisions as to what _I_ am allowed to see.
How is that related? That can already happen if a company decide to have this approach. See also companies that have PIP targets.

Presumably companies have a good idea of employees' skill sets when they hire them, or they terminate the contract by the end of the probation period, so they can also plan for this necessary learning.

Nice work and thanks for sharing it. TIL about zero-width cols/rows in Grid.

> You can see all the breakpoints kicking in as the available width changes. Our backend algorithms can reconfigure the content and produce a different grid layout for each screen size, allowing everything to move around.

Could you elaborate on this? Is this implying that the backend is auto-generating mobile layouts and that the user simply needs to create a desktop layout? If yes, how does it decide where to place things if multiple media and multiple text blocks are present?
