It's like saying complying with truth in advertising laws is expensive: most companies barely have to think about it because they comply by default but for some companies it is extremely expensive.

Of course it's extremely expensive for them because they're trying to get as close to breaking the law as they can without actually breaking it. That requires expensive lawyers, constant monitoring and extremely fast response cycles. E.g. there are a lot of big companies making good money of exaggerated but legal health claims and their claims are all not just vetted by a team of expensive lawyers but also documented and tracked in such a way that if they do end up getting sued they can immediately find out where they are using that particular claim and withdraw all advertising material using it to comply with a cease and desist.

So, yes, if you want to run a business that is either intended to be willfully negligent for no good reason or exploit users with as little informed consent as you can get away with (likely because what you want to do is not in their best interest), you'll need a team of expensive lawyers.

But compared to actual nuclear storage (which is highly regulated for good reasons), or storing certain financial data (which requires PCI compliance), or storing medical records (which in the US requires HIPAA compliance) or filing your taxes correctly, GDPR compliance does not actually require an expensive external audit and certainly not a regular one.

Of course SOC2 compliance or ISO compliance are different matters and they may be involved in demonstrating GDPR compliance to business customers but they're neither necessary nor sufficient to comply with the GDPR or the ePrivacy directive.

Indeed, even the meaning of the name YAML admits failure: "Yet another markup language".

The year is 2023. Can we really not come up with better things for configuration?

I mean, we did, 25 years ago With XML. The problem is that it was too much of a dumpster fire when it came to tooling, and folks just abused it until everyone was sick of it in the early naughts. But the fact remains, XML meets all the needs for configuration files, is flexible enough to handle large and small use-cases, and with the right tooling, can be a breeze to deal with.

But no. Instead we have half-solutions like json, and worse, yaml.

Implicit atheism is still concerned with not believing in religion.

The way I see atheism is that a belief in no religion is, by its nature, a religion. Joe is a christian and believes in Jesus, Bob is an atheist and believes no god; both are merely two sides of the same coin. You can't call yourself non-religious if you believe in a religion, whatever the specific form.

Being non-religious means you don't care; it's not that you don't believe, you simply could not care less one way or another. Wikipedia appears to call it apatheism[1] and more broadly irreligion[2], but semantics aren't the focal issue here.

As a "not a cloud guy" who only recently got heavily exposed to it.. I found the state of the art / CloudOps attitudes towards monitoring astonishingly Stone Age.

Yeah observability is great, but no one I've seen in cloud manages to launch with it. So in place of SRE org with full observability stack, they launch with effectively nothing.

Strong attitudes of "we don't measure hardware metrics like cpu/memory/disk, we measure customer facing stuff like throughput/error rates etc". Sounds good, but what do you think happens to those if you run out of disk bro? Pretty sure the running out of disk happens first. Imagine if you could like.. catch it?

Have you ever considered a different portion of the tech sector? I work in embedded systems and this couldn’t be further from the truth. Things rarely change (because it took someone smart banging their head against a wall for a week to make it work) and if they do, they’re usually addressing real needs in the systems programming community. I see each change less as a fad and more as an additional tool in the tool belt.

Take for example Rust, which is gaining traction in parts of systems programming. It addresses the direct need to stop overflowing buffers, create more strong typing, write less code to accomplish the same thing, and others. Accordingly, a lot of systems programmers are optimistic and excited about it. But everyone in the field knows C, and acknowledges C isn’t going anywhere. There are tasks for which C is better suited right now, and will be for a very long time. There’s no push to rewrite all programs in Rust. Sure, some are pushing for it, but it’s not a “this year is Rust, next year is <new programming language>” dynamic. It’s a “this is where we want to go, but it’s going to take us many years to get there” type shift.

It should be noted that once this technique makes it to the playground, every kid will learn about the magic taps that make the web available, including kids that aren't ready yet.

Obviously, parents using parental control will have questions what their kids are doing for hours in the Google Settings app every day, but every kid will probably get that day or week of free browsing until their parents get suspicious.

That assumes parents bother to check on the statistics made available by parental controls, of course; if nobody checks, then the kid will access the web unrestricted for years.

Yes - it exposes an API to set device encryption keys to the websites that you visit with it- At least that's how I interpret the last section "The dangerous functions".

Uh no, not in 'Europe'. Where I am in Europe, 'atheism' is being convinced there is no god. Agnosticism is not knowing whether there is a god at all. Not that you're religious but not to a particular god or doctrine like you claim - I've never heard of that concept before, how can you be religious but not knowing what it is you believe in? I'm not much in the know on the exact nomenclature, but your definition of 'agnosticism' is not in any way supported by the way Wikipedia describes it, and the way I've always understood agnosticism is what is called 'apathetic agnosticism' on Wikipedia - and that is, from my perspective, the predominant understanding of it in 'Europe'.
Plus, to me, "I don't know" is also an answer - I use it to gauge how niche a topic might actually be. LLMs do that at all.
Similarly, I’ve seen government bodies try to use WhatsApp as their official communication channel.

There is at least one college that I know of, where every announcement is made on Facebook, and Facebook only. Students are forced to have a FB account.

It is just pure laziness. There are some governments (Europe mostly) that are attempting legislation (banning Google Analytics on gov sites, for example). But law is slow to catch up, incomplete and ineffective.

This is not a problem that can be solved completely by law.
> Congo wasn't a single stable and well managed state before colonialism.

I would like to hear more about this. Do you have a good source on the actual state of the pre colonial Congo basin not written by those who came to colonise?

> Just blaming colonialism for everything is a bit racist honestly.

Not everything .. but of course anyone familiar with, for example, the Belgian Congo and King Leopold will also be aware of how horrific those decades were.

> It is saying that it's only whites that can change the situation and the native populations are not capable of steering their own actions.

What I am saying is following a brutal generations long rule the local factions almost immediately had to contend with the two largest global super powers waging a bloody and secret proxy war to retain control over the richest highest grade uranium deposits on the planet. With money no object to provide guns, bribe warlords, sway oppositions, stage coups, etc I doubt any population could survive such outside pressure without being cleaved apart.
If any app that has an embedded webview allows to bypass parental control, then this is an even bigger bug in Android…

Having written a bunch of XML schemas and a bunch of JSON schemas at the same time while integrating multiple third party APIs, I can unreservedly say that JSON schema is awful.

It just about works, but it's horrible to write and horrible to maintain. What you can actually do with the validation is surprisingly limited in some forms and the fact that you have to write JSON to write the schema shows just how non-user-friendly JSON is.

A friend told me that she writes JSON schemas in YAML and then uses a build step to downgrade that to JSON for the actual validator. I wish I'd thought of that.
I read OP as implying that CRDTs solve the problem while they are questioning whether this project does. My response to that is to question whether CRDTs solve the problem in the general case (although they may well be helpful in a specific case).
This is a pretty standard kiosk breakout technique, which have been super common since the 90s. They have always existed, and will continue to exist. The impact and use cases for issues like this are pretty negligible, so they don't get addressed as quickly as bugs that can actually be used for real crime.

Also, you say the embedded browser is "not secure", yet the going rate for browser bugs on Android are in the multi-million dollar range, especially if it leads to root.

It already is in the server space.

In the desktop space, other than a few specific use cases such as CAD and film creation, Red Hat couldn’t care less about the desktop, there’s no money there unless you got a software or hardware ecosystem to go with it.

Apple has both a strong software and hardware ecosystem, Microsoft doesn’t but is trying to find money via other revenues such as services and ads.
power consumption, ecosystem.

The non-RISCV ESP's are a very wonky architecture, and while there is lots of ESP code out there, finding stuff that just works is harder than one may think.
Meanwhile, pretty much all NRF52840 stuff you will run into just works, and works reliably.

The toolchains and underlying pieces are also basically only supported by EspressIf (yes some work is upstream, but unlike ARM Cortex, you won't find a lot of help from others on Xtensa).

Real debugging of NRF52840 stuff is also easier to do because of this - lots and lots of debug tools work.

You will also get much better documentation out of Nordic.

Now, this is mostly about Xtensa, and almost certainly one of the reasons that they are moving the ESP's toward RISC-V.

I don't have enough experience with the newer RISC-V ones to give you a view there.
The problem with confrontation is people tend to start acting as if they’re playing a role that they don’t know how to leave. As though they’ve seen in movies and places where two sides get ramped up, confront one another, but there’s usually not an equally powerful resolution to model. It’s just: get angry and be blatant/audacious. Notably in movies violent resolutions are much more common as the ultimate resolution, too, and that doesn’t leave much as a compromise or alternative-so just stay pissed/audacious/etc.

I don’t know if I have a suggestion to OP. One option would be to offer to contribute to buying the flowers next time. That’s a soft way to engage and remind there’s others in the audience not being celebrated. Personally, I’d probably be put off by the whole thing and just let them have their moments. Or bring dark chocolate. Chocolate because theobromine acts a little like a happy “everything’s good” buzz for people and men might tend towards dark chocolate over milk. But bring some milk chocolate too-shows you’re being inclusive.

> 1) Kids WILL use this to bypass parental / school controls as soon as they learn about it

Good. Parental/school controls don't belong on the device. They belong on whatever the device connects to.

That would be parental/school networks.

If you don't want your kids to connect to things then don't let your kids have devices that connect to things.

> 2) In some contexts (especially as high-stakes test settings, but also some military/prison/finance/medical/legal/etc. settings) this IS a direct security risk

The direct security risk is using Google in the first place.

There's nothing in that statement that relates specifically to kids.
Couple of things to this:

You're right it's growing faster than that. E.g. Mid 2018 to mid 2019, it rose by 361k people. But the UK average household size is 2.4, so 200k new houses should in theory accommodate a population growth of 866k.

If those were the only numbers that mattered, it wouldn't be a problem. We'd catch up fast.

But all houses are not the same. A large part of the problem is people following jobs, and so a significantly higher rate of construction may be needed because people move, and needed types of properties change. Unless you can make the places people are moving away from to be more attractive, e.g. by infrastructure improvement to tie areas together in ways that make them attractive regions for businesses.

The bigger issues, however, I think are two structural problems:

1. As long as house prices go up at a sufficient rate, the soundest strategy for a developer may be to raise capital to buy land and then sit on it until house prices go up. Your cost of capital to finance it will be financing costs for the cost of the land for however many years you sit on it, and the financing costs for the construction itself only from you start construction until sold. Doubly so because if you're a large developer, holding a large parcel of land while you're, say, developing something else nearby, and releasing only limited numbers of properties onto the market contributes to keeping the prices up. Near me, one of the best properties in the area, a huge tract right next to one of the best connected train stations in the UK (East Croydon) remained undeveloped for over a decade because developers had no urgency to do anything. It's now slowly being developed, but they're taking their good time about it, because why wouldn't they?

You could address that by progressively harsher taxes by duration of under-utilisation, or strengthen ability for local government to take over land, to make it necessary for developers to either move at speed or unload the land on others, but if you fix the house price increases by other means, this problem will also go away by itself.

2. There is no political will to cause house prices to drop, because that would mean a lot of people who have seen this as a pension investment, and plan to downsize, will vote against you.

To fix this you probably need a combination of starting slow - reforms that gradually cause the market to stagnate so people stop seeing it as surefire way to make money - coupled perhaps with tax and pension adjustment structured to make it feel like your reforms are relatively neutral. E.g "package" it with substantial state pension increases, or allow for some degree of writeoffs for paper losses on declining property prices, perhaps limited to pensioners only, etc. Some of it you could sunset, and some might well end up being very unfair and effectively bribing people who shouldn't have gambled on their home as their main investment asset, but if that's what it takes to get support for crashing house prices, it'd be worth it.
I don't know, I have an 11y old HP elitebook from 2011 and nothing aesthetic is failing. It has however seen a battery replacement and some memory and ssd upgrades. I think battery and hard drive should be the only thing we should expect to replace in a 10y lifespan.
Just to cut off a problem at the pass I ain't nitpicking him here like he is reading palms or nothin. Just blabbering about some frustrations on somethin I think important but maybe for dumb reasons I don't know. So I want to share in case it is, but don't want claims it's dumb for reasons I ain't meaning. I can't be the only one who feels round 3 didn't make sense and feel bamboozled by the jumping guesses about why I answered the prior two. Not in some silly way like "how dare the fella" I mean like he might not notice people interpret his soul thing in a way he definitely doesn't seem to. I took the teleporter, and sure silicon whatever, but round 3 claims souls exist changing what my assumptions are for the game. The guy who made it seems to assume soul means no 'psychological continuity', but I ain't ever heard nobody think that and they seem to think the opposite which is why I went with dying because round 3 gave me information telling me reality don't work like I think it does now.

Gotta say ahead of time I read the thing and I know he says the "soul effect" is small but that don't matter if 'that small part is what counts'. Thing is that's exactly what everybody who believes in a soul thinks so I went with the stuff I've heard all my life and thought "Well guess they were right so I better change how I think and answer like they do". Now where that seems a problem is he seems to think people who think souls exist don't think that mental continuity exists in souls in an important way, or that changing your choice based on new information implies I believe in souls when I don't.

I'm tryin to explain, badly I guess, that he tried to make it sound unimportant in a way that doesn't do what he thinks it does. Just goin by a lifetime of bibles being thumped on me. So others might make the same choice for the same reason but don't seem many notice the mountain looks real darn different from where someone like me is at.

As someone raised in a major religion who opted out, I can confirm that I quickly became an outside to my religious community. I don't feel it was much of a loss though. The only reason I knew those people was church.

This is probably less common with people who go to church in holidays only. The devout are different.
