The impact is: far fewer data breaches in the EU than before, fewer of them wiped under the carpet, security no longer seen as a cost but as an important element in the IT strategy and with a seat at the table during design, operation and decommission (and in many cases: at the C level). On the whole the change has been remarkable, the last four years have seen a sea change in how corporations look at data, security and compliance.

If all you associate with the GDPR is cookie consent dialogs then maybe these discussions are not for you?
Both my grandmothers used to run android phones and windows computers where this is possible and neither were ever successfully attacked this way. However, one grandmother did experience people trying to scam her into giving them money through other means. I think simply requiring a “I know what I am doing and want to open up the hood” button is sufficient.
> it is possible that Apple will just pull them from the market there.

It's also possible that pigs will sprout wings and fly away from manure piles everywhere. Apple is the same company that backdoored iCloud for China so they could operate domestically and make money from the CCP, though. The idea that they'd stop serving the entirety of Europe because of some evil legislation is a complete joke.
this is a nice project! wonder why you started with powershell, not something natively supported on mac and windows...

just saw there is a powershell package on homebrew, not sure how good it is on mac... :-)
Despite their popularity, tolkien's works were considered simplistic and juvenile. And tastes do vary, but the books aren't particularly great

Yes, it's the needs of the allergy sufferers that drove this project from the start. Hi NEC, I wear a mask because of allergies but I'm worried that will prevent private corporations and governments from tracking my every move, can you fix this please?

Do you really believe that you see or understand something that decision makers at Apple hadn’t considered?
Nice! Great effort. I have starred the project and will keep an eye on it. I am excited and will wait for when it is ready (enough) to become a daily driver. Thanks.
thinking back to the bakshi film really makes me wish we could get an animated tolkien anthology like the animatrix or heavy metal. imo that would be a very good way to handle something like the silmarillion.

How does that even work?
There's a lot of good ecosystem stuff around this, though I personally can't use most of it as the HypoPG extension isn't on AWS RDS. :(

https://github.com/HypoPG/hypopg

HypoPG is a PostgreSQL extension adding support for hypothetical indexes.

An hypothetical -- or virtual -- index is an index that doesn't really exists, and thus doesn't cost CPU, disk or any resource to create. They're useful to know if specific indexes can increase performance for problematic queries, since you can know if PostgreSQL will use these indexes or not without having to spend resources to create them.

With one approach to actually implementing it here: https://www.percona.com/blog/2019/07/22/automatic-index-reco...

https://github.com/ankane/dexter is an autoindexer project that builds on hypopg, and I believe it can be configured to autocreate indices — it will only suggest them by default.
Momentarily, for sure.

Medium or long term though, practically all other domesticated animals are more efficient than beef on a per-calorie basis. Chickens in particular, are substantially more efficient. Best case, replacing beef with chicken could increase meat yields by 10x, worst case, by 3x.

Can you explain more of what you mean? Are you talking about my example of talking to a child or implying that I am neurodivergent.

If the former, It is an interesting thought. In many ways children can be seen as very similar neurodivergent adults.

In some cases this is because they simply lack basic information adults take for granted. In others, they simply don't have the "software" to process it yet.

If the latter, that's a bit rude.
What an oddly paranoid take on the thread. OP literally just said he's looking for new perspectives, because X has led him to his current perspective. I disagree completely that he did anything in poor faith; I think that you're just disregarding the question of "What are the benefits to having kids" outright, rather than take it seriously, which is my response as someone who has been in many online and in-person discussions about the idea of not having kids.
Water rights are more tied to the land and deeded as such. I don't think you want to bring water into the fray...
People speak, land doesn't - there is no such thing as a "rural voice".
> you can suffer from bad model predictions

This is the worst anti-surveillance argument. The last thing I want is to be accurately predicted. As far as I'm concerned, once the models are perfected and they can accurately predict everything you will do or say, things will be far worse.
Replying to myself since it looks like the replies are making mostly the same point.

> what if fb wants an exclusive, no privacy App Store for itself?
What about it? Let them do that. Let the consumers decide? I chose Apple only and only for better privacy controls in the OS, not in the App Store.

> dominance of chrome
Chrome won because Firefox and IE were worse. A lot of improvements in Firefox are thanks to competition. Safari is still number one browser on MACOS. I agree with the point that google might make things incompatible for non chrome users. Then they will be hit via these same regulations.
Sounds like you're a dude with sexist assumptions about parenthood: "the mother necessarily has to do 1.5 or 2 full-time jobs."

I'm a dad with two kids and it's fair to do that my wife AND i both have 2 full time jobs: yes, as a man, I do laundry, bathe the kids, put them to bed, drive them to activities, cook, do dishes - as much as she does (some more, some less but it evens out). Welcome to the 21st century - turns out parenthood can be 'man's work' just as much as it can be 'woman's work.'

Onward from that initial poor and sexist assumption. . .

If you want to read up on the empirical reasons for having kids based on 'happiness' as the criterion, check out 'Stumbling on Happiness.' In that book, it documents that, yes, parents are overall less happy than non-parents (moment-to-moment).

Despite this fact parents arguably can have deeper moments of happiness (however less infrequent).

As my mom once said wisely - "no one ever reasonably decides to have kids."

If you're using reason and rationality as deciders, most likely you won't have kids. . .and that's fine since our planet seems pretty full and humans consume way too much.
> According to this site the most unusual thing about me is that I read the terms and conditions before ticking the "accept" box.

I’d put forward the hypothesis that people who read the terms, and who are therefore concerned about privacy, are also less likely to be willing to agree to submit the data at the end.
This is the best part of my day and almost certainly my week. Haven't laughed that hard in a while.
It would be interesting if those down-voting my comment would explain where my intuition is wrong. FedEx delivers 12 million packages per day. If each package requires 10 transactions that works out to about 40k transactions per second. You should be able to handle that with 1 IBM mainframe or much less than 1000 servers and I don't believe either of those would approach $400 million per year to operate.
I successfully use [stgit][1] (for 10 years) for private commits and pretty much for the rest of near-git workflows.

> I wont comment much on the statement you can't actually code on an iPad, technically you can

That's not coding on an iPad, since the code is not being interpreted/compiled on-device. You're right that an iPad can remote into a build server for "development", but so can a $6 Raspberry Pi.
What other anime do you have in mind? You're ignoring a lot of series to get that impression. Most anime are based on manga out of Shonen Jump, which follow Jump's guidelines of friendship, adventure, and overcoming obstacles through teamwork.
I know there have been some higher-profile suits filed against some famous and semi-famous chefs for unpaid wages/stolen tips (Mario Batali, Tom Douglas, Charlie Trotter, a few others), but it's hard to directly challenge collusion like this when it's very unofficial.

> In a centralized vcs, that history is always mediated by the server - you want a new revision number, you have to ask the server what it is.

I assume the most trivial case when say I contribute to e.g. MS documentation, which source is now available exclusively on GitHub. Can I say that this MS docs repository is a canonical copy?

I think that the most common daily use workflows with git and GitHub are absolutely centralised regardless of the decentralised nature of git.

* I have a local git repository, its local version history and all the great features this provides. But I have to push to GitHub, you know. Can I somehow publish my changes if GitHub is down? So how is this different from centralised version control?

* GitHib provides extra features besides version control. It has a bug tracker, wiki, whatever. I'm tied to all these features, and they are not decentralised at all. I understand that this analogy is silly, but GitHub is a well done SourceForge with Git. But it's still SourceForge, and it's centralised.

When I use git with GitHub, I usually only clone, commit and push and check my project's issue tracker. All these actions except commit require access to GitHub. So I think that the workflow is absolutely centralised even if git is decentralised by design and has local version history.

I think that's what @evouga meant in his comment above when he said > But almost nobody actually uses git the way it was originally intended, eg. as decentralized version control? Instead there’s a canonical master repository (on GitHub) everyone pulls from/pushes to.
I have a partially renovated little village house with a small backyard and shed about 19km from Fugueira da Foz Portugal I will sell you for the €24k I have stuck in it. The interior needs doing but the roof is new… near Montemor-o-velho…

The tax is 40€ (forty euros) a year. South facing king roof slope ideal for panels and south facing varanda over the backyard.
Yes. But come on, makeup, some gray hair.
agree. moved to obsidian, it is nice and flexible (with a self-cooked bash cli accessing md files from terminal...)
Two unrelated comments:

1) The conspiracy theory is that intentionally pointless HOAs were pushed by small government folks as a way to make people skeptical of tax-for-service organizations.

2) The HOAs point isn’t to regulate the 99% of people who would otherwise maintain their house. It’s for the 1% of people that wouldn’t and in order to avoid housing discrimination charges, you have to regulate everyone equally.
Camera access? Nice try, bye.
Honestly, I don't see why you'd need to batch it ever 100ms. Sure, you don't want to send a mouse movement every time an event triggers, but surely 30fps looks smooth and won't overload the system.
Depends entirely on the particle. A free neutron might have a half life of around twenty minutes. These pentaquark particles, well, nanoseconds are too long to describe, by about ten orders of magnitude.

Some of the heavy elements assembled in colliders are described as decaying so quickly that one side of the nucleus is coming together even as the other side is disintegrating, a sort of brief wave of existence traveling at nearly the speed of light across this thing that has been forced together and wants to fly apart.
Your story is relevant and what you went through is horrible, but you may want to practice telling it in a clear and concise way. At first glance your post sounds like a crazy person rant, and it would be unfortunate for people to brush you off without actually reading your post.
Right: They'll have water delivery trucks on standby contracts. The very trucks that deliver water to homes. They'll come to the scene and deploy an instant-pool for firetrucks to draw from.

You could say that having homes that depend on cisterns actually helps in firefighting efforts:

A full-stack software engineer that overflows with curiosity. I am seeking a remote full-stack or backend role. I recently created Hypha, an open-source observability framework that makes debugging distributed systems easier by correlating logs and traces in a single tool. Read our technical case study here: hyphaobservability.com/case-study.
It’s very likely this would have happened even if Apple would have cut it to 15%. There’s still about 12% on the table, and the rest of the gate keeping issues would still be there.

History is full of precedents where a powerful party gave some of its power only to have it not stop and even accelerate the attacks against it.

Apple could not stay the biggest company in the world without attracting attention such as this. One of those has to give.
As much as I desperately want to agree with you, how often do you feel those who are elected share this sentiment? It certainly feels like an “us” versus “them” situation protected by boatloads of money ensuring “they” get to keep acting this way.

Nope, that's just apologist rhetoric for the "all people are equal" religion that underlies our modern disfunction. Look who is and who is not having children in those societies. It is not evenly distributed. Of course admitting that publicly violates so many BS sacred cows that I have no doubt that you were the person who downvoted my comment prior to "refuting" it.
“If everyone around you is the problem, maybe…”

I think to the same extent the phenomenon you describe exists, experts (perhaps even engineers) loathe accepting and abiding expertise outside their domain that impacts or determines their work.

It’s human nature to want agency. Achieving some measure of mastery can confuse one into a growing sense of entitlement to agency…and this sentiments like yours.
> I find that hard to fit into either of what I find your very unpleasant framings of the question:

Why do you find these questions unpleasant? Do you find it unpleasant to analyze the benefits of other life-changing, irrevocable decisions?
What the hell is the "whatever" that everyone is convinced that the totality of human media efforts are supposed to be disstracting us from? Literal space aliens, literal demons, religion, communism, fear of death, fear of life, pollution, the coming fall of government, the apocalypse, and modern life being meaningless. Pardon the redundancies but the rhetoric is far more a rorsarch test or method of indexing than an objective truth. I have mostly seen it as a squid-in-mouth level of crazy personal assumptions projected onto everybody else by a fanatic to explain the impossibility that nobody else cares.
As a person with an older device of smaller capacity constantly being reminded by the OS of the small amount of space remaining, I'm quite happy to not have that data cached. That's me though, and we all like different things. Just pointing out that while you might prefer the offline, I prefer not. As a dev, these are the things you flip a coin and know you're going to not please everyone and move on to the next item.

> Are you thinking of graphic designers?

Honestly most ux designers I've worked with were graphic designers by training and previous experience.
One of the reasons is "safety". It's hard to make sure that adding an index won't have adverse effects on your app. Adding an index invalidates query plans and new plans may or may not be as good as the old ones.

I think the enabling technology for this is branching and the ability to "fork" a database AND the workload to prove that adding an index doesn't break things.
This is absolutely hilarious to me. I hope someone actually does this. I may do this.

I honestly don't really mind coding interviews but telling a company you'll solve their puzzle if they solve yours first actually seems like a completely fair deal to me.
have you tried Zoho mail...we are using it for our business.
This kind of bullshit law or regulation doesn’t affect enough people to cause anyone to fight it, and I would venture to say that the vast majority of laws on the books fall into this category. Inch by inch we are divided and disempowered.
"Your body" is a hierarchy of cells, cellular processes, and organs, all of which consume energy. And in increasingly many cases, "your body" has prosthetic augmentations or very difficult to produce medicine, without which you will cease to survive. If you can argue that those things are "human rights", then I can easily argue that "human rights" include shelter, peace of mind, a basketball court, ad infinitum. Perhaps more accurately: property is simply an extension of humanity that is granted by other humans. Again, taking away "property" won't end well for humans who wish to control their destiny, as parts of "your body" could gradually be deemed "property" and now you're at risk of life and liberty.
The Fastmail web client is far better than using IMAP/Apple Mail client.

But the iOS Fastmail app is really good, so I use that on the phone.

Fastmail works well for small business (at least). The limits are high, and there are a lot of features that Gmail doesn’t have.

I don’t use the FM calendar, so I can’t speak to that.

I’ve found their file storage very helpful in moving data between disparate platforms. You can even set up small static websites.
Wow this really saddens me. The reason I'm donating to Asahi Linux is to get a non thermally constrained small laptop. Currently I have a liquid metaled 9310 XPS 13 with thermal pads to connect the heatsink with the case. I still have to disable turbo boost to not have it throttle under sustained load. And the huge cavaet that you can burn yourself on the underside if it's under heavy you load.

I'd hoped I could stop hacking around soon and get a sane thermal experience. But this shows Apple doesn't really care either. A non combined workload brings it to it's knees.
I disagree. Our lack of fundamental concept definition in this area is abysmal.

Intelligence, consciousness, agency/free will… it’s all a huge epistemological void that we are trying to recreate artificially without even knowing what it is.

Desalinated water is $1000+ per acre-foot, while water from existing water infrastructure is heavily subsidized and sold for a few dollars per acre-foot to farmers. There are many reasonable arguments as to why we should not be building new infrastructure that produces water at 100x the cost it is currently sold at. Nearly all water projects in the west in the last hundred years are “political”, not economic.
> There's also been a massive shift in political attitude with the republicans. Back in the Clinton presidency, democrats and republicans often worked together on bills and compromises to keep the government functioning. This changed with the tea party and Newt Gingrich at the end of Clinton's presidency.

It's changed with the Democrats, too. It wasn't too long go that the Democrats had a significant contingent of pro-life officials and were competitive in conservative farm states.

The nationalization of politics has created an unhealthy situation where candidates have to pass national litmus tests to win a nomination that will doom them in their actual election.
It seems you're trying to nail down an absolute, I'm just saying that there's options sometimes. In my opinion AirBnB is setting money on fire by running on AWS. They've got huge talent pools of great engineers they could activate to in house their infrastructure and they'd save hundreds of millions of dollars. At the same time there's companies that have no business running their own web applications let alone their own infrastructure. A company like caterpillar I think should be run almost entirely on no/low code platforms. Their research department might run some code, they might have teams doing embedded dev for their devices. Beyond that it should just all be SaaS. And between those two extremes there is like a whole spectrum a business could be on.
we use zoho mail and it seems pretty good for our needs.
