GDPR enforcement happens on a daily basis

the problem is violations are just far to many

the reporting of them spotty

and the processing is far too slow

also too little clarification for "predictable edge cases and ways companies try to circumvent" had been put in law upfront (laws some a form of comment section into which such things can be placed, most times as result of previous court decisions)

and from the resources which are available too many are bound in large companies bullshitting around by trying to delay enforcement by a very obvious misinterpretations of the law and huge legal teams/founds to delay and delay and delay
Yes, quite like that. I think it would be harder to evacuate, as it's a narrow isthmus.

The Time Linkerd Erased My Load Balancer
Pornography was widely banned in pretty much as soon as photographs were invented. The federal Comstock Act was passed in 1873, and many state laws preceded it.

Stanley v. Georgia is the kind of brush that needs clearing. It concluded that anti-obscenity laws that had been on the books for a century were suddenly unconstitutional.

The reasoning of the decision makes absolutely no sense. It has a lengthy hand-waving rant about what someone may possess in the “privacy of their own home.” But the only privacy right in the Constitution is the fourth amendment, which prohibits warrantless searches. But in that case the police found the pornography while executing a valid warrant on suspicion of gambling activity. Nobody doubts that if police find contraband while executing an otherwise valid warrant, it would be entirely constitutional to prosecute based on that evidence.

If the defendant in Stanley had been in possession of child pornography, he would have been subject to prosecution even today. So the decision’s while digression about privacy is literally immaterial to the issue before the Court.

Instead, Stanley is based on a value judgment about the type of pornography at issue in that case an opposed to say child pornography. But that sort of analysis of social costs and benefits is for voters and legislatures, not the Supreme Court.
I think it’s always the problem with a closed system, there’s no way for some better decision making to happen. The very idea that obfuscation of maps will help China be more secure or competitive is absolutely absurd.

If there's a small team, individual freedom can be perfectly fine, as everybody knows everyone and it's easy to talk with each other in case there are discrepancies.

For larger projects however, not having tooling set up that enforces certain consistency is an absolute showstopper for me. I'll either introduce it or I'll quit; I simply do not want to waste my time with developers squabbling over arbitrary formatting-choices or irrelevant coding-style-details that can easily be enforced by some tooling.

Of course, developer-experience is paramount. Meaning, the tooling must be easy-to-use and generally not stand in the way. Otherwise it can indeed create a lot of friction which will annoy everybody. But once this has been set up (properly!), it will make a lot of silly discussions and choices obsolete.
It is relatively easy to port Fortran 77 code to BASIC. I did that in college to run “FORTRAN code” on my Casio BASIC “calculator”.
I'm just happy to have gone six years without wasting half a day a month debating about formatting or whims.
So should we buy CoreWeave and Lambda shares after IPO or not?

For enthusiasts, even renting from Runpod, Salad, Vast.ai which are an order of magnitude cheaper than established cloud providers is much more expensive than buying a Rtx 3090 or 4090. Which got me thinking why don't companies who need training don't put their money together, buy some H100 and share them?

At that point you're not dealing with a "flimsy structure out of thin steel foil" that you can inflate to hundreds of psi. You described what's basically a submarine, multiple high and low pressure hulls able to withstand hundreds of psi of pressure.

Just for some reference, 1000psi is the kind of pressure you get ~700m depth (2300ft), double what a submarine would regularly withstand. Pressure in your average propane gas tank probably peaks around 200psi in high temperature. That steel isn't flimsy, it tends to get bulky and heavy even with creative ribbing and reinforcement.

It has to make a lot of sense practically and economically to consider such an option. So it ends up being used in places where weight or cost matter less.
I’ve seen this happen. We call it having great cardiovascular fitness but not so great metabolic fitness. One of the reasons that zone 2 or maintaining aerobic fitness seems to have such an impact on longevity is that it requires and reinforces metabolic fitness.
Especially as these are not legal in the UK (except on private property).
they could fine without warning and IMHO they should start doing so it's the law isn't new isn't complicated to roughly get right for 99% of companies so there is no longer reason to go easy on companies which seem to very knowingly give a shit (independently of weather it actually was knowingly)

Obviously not, I should have been more specific but I’m obviously referring to the large corporate internet gatekeepers (Google, Meta, Twitter, TikTok, Amazon, etc).
It's important to note that legal fees can be deferred in California, for this exact reason.

In addition, if they have a strong case and a law firm believes they could gain more than their fees, they'll often still take the case.

In other words: Do not let the idea of vague "legal fees" scare you off from pursuing a genuine grievance. At least consult with a few law firms.

IANAL, but I don't see any requirement of it having to be "free". I probably miss something. And It would seem very much against the spirit, but is a company really not allowed to charge fees for "deleting"?
I will never understand why people find the need to cram as much "mystery meat" code into one line as humanly possible. It makes it much harder to understand, debug, and optimize.
Possibly. I've done GDPR requests in the past and been asked for ID to action the request and all other kinds of daft caveats, so YMMV.

This returns money to investors just like dividends do (but it's better tax-wise).
Nobody who wrote the second amendment thought it allowed non-militia members to own weapons of war, yet here we are.

At least with that argument, there’s literal text (“A well-regulated militia”) supporting the point.

They have so much cash, and the business is so valuable there isn’t a better place to put it.*

So you give it back to the shareholders, and a buyback is tax advantaged for the shareholders compared to a dividend.

* if you are, say, Pepsi, and you have a very good year, you might want to “bank” some or all of those profits for a lean year or for some future investment. But the CFO doesn’t put $10B in a bank account, they invest it. If they put 10B into Apple it won’t have any legal implications (Apple is so huge) and it’s probably a better return than anything else available.

But when you are Apple the sums are so huge and the choice of places you can invest so limited, that giving it back to the shareholders and letting them decide is pretty much your only option. A good problem to have.

I think it originated with pooping on swords/polearms: you're a peasant, just before the battle, and you have a massive adrenaline dump, part of which involves clearing out the intestines, so if you manage to channel your inner cat, as you barely get your breeches off you stick your weapon underneath. Then you tell all your buddies you totally just did that on purpose, to cause sepsis among the enemy...

If you're an grizzled noncom equivalent, when the newbies suddenly wind up with a fresh pile of squishy goop, you tell them the same story, and have them run their weapons through it, making them feel better about having squatted down in front of their buddies?

Lagniappe: how about this as a way to take physiological signs of adrenaline and turn them into an "I meant to do that" moment? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_rotEpFtZU&t=64s

Quite a bit of romanticizing goes on with this fantasy, but I think it does illuminate why software jobs tend to pay so well. It’s usually not very fun, hard to learn, hard to keep up with, and if it weren’t for the pay many people would not bother with it.
Syncthing actually doesn't provide a way to view your files online, you have to set up an instance on your local computer then have the files synced to there and then view them locally. However, on the forums I have found links to something that people seem to recommend for viewing files online, a sort of enhanced web index: https://github.com/lrsjng/h5ai.
Obviously it would be interesting if that's what happened, but no, what they were saying is that it could well be that it had only been exposed to visitors doing nice gestures and was repeating them back with no understanding of nice vs nasty.

Not that the anecdote proves their guess is more right than yours, but afaik there is more evidence of animals mirroring unthinkingly than understanding.

Not really, it only helps to prop up the stock price. It has no effect on actual yield the way dividends do.

You don't have to learn it all. Just enough to do your job.

While I fully support liking one language, it wouldnt feel right for me to not mention the benefits other languages bring, such as GC for large dev teams of lower skilled devs, languages with builtin unit tests, languages with templating or less bad macros, etc.
As to cross format path querying, I see limited value in such an endeavour; the reason that one deals with such formats is generally because it is used as an interface to configure some tool, but moving across different tools, besides the path queries, even the configuration schemas differ, and having a cross format converter would do you no good. The fact that many such configuration formats support subtly (or drastically) divergent types of objects does this idea no good either.

Speaking of this topic, I would be very interested in a CLI tool that translated between different dialects of regex. As opposed to general data or configuration, I find the case for cross format conversion very compelling for regexes; the objects that different regex languages deal with are functionally completely identical. I would be very happy to be able to craft a regex to search for something in vim, then convert the regex to grep or use another tool on the shell, then perhaps adapt it to some other scripting languages e.g. Javascript/Ruby/Perl.

Indeed I am sad that I am not finding any CLI tools (non web-based) for this beyond https://github.com/Anadian/regex-translator . Am hopeful for more suggestions.
Writing for the majority, Antonin Scalia argued that the operative clause of the amendment, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed,” codifies an individual right derived from English common law and codified in the English Bill of Rights (1689). The majority held that the Second Amendment’s preamble, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,” is consistent with this interpretation when understood in light of the framers’ belief that the most effective way to destroy a citizens’ militia was to disarm the citizens. The majority also found that United States v. Miller supported an individual-right rather than a collective-right view, contrary to the dominant 20th-century interpretation of that decision. (In Miller, the Supreme Court unanimously held that a federal law requiring the registration of sawed-off shotguns did not violate the Second Amendment because such weapons did not have a “reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia.”) Finally, the court held that, because the framers understood the right of self-defense to be “the central component” of the right to keep and bear arms, the Second Amendment implicitly protects the right “to use arms in defense of hearth and home.”

yes and for the account owner they must

- provide it for free and process it in due time

- not hide it trying to trick the user into "buying" something to delete their account

through if you have bought one but can not use it because someone else has an account with the hardware you bought from them then the person from which you bought it must do the deletion request for it to be covered by GDPR

and they probably could come up with some nonsense where the account is deleted by the device "stays locked" and you have to pay 20€ to unlock it for a new account

that might still be in violation of consumer protection law, but no longer has anything to do with GDPR and even in consumer protection law will be in a gray zone where you can do little but complain to official agencies
You have misunderstood what a stock buyback is

It's effectively a dividend with different tax implications
Not really. I’m fairly confident the lawmakers knew the operators of porn sites would just exit the market, because the methods of proving identity were onerous, and also who wants to submit proof of their identity to a porn site?

Similarly, VPNs are a dime a dozen and incredibly easy to use, so a minor who wants to access it can just hop through another state. The law has no real impact.
About ten years ago our company did stock buybacks at the peak stock value in over 5 decades and it’s been all downhill since. Gotta love it when the raiders succeed.

I'm part of the (lisp) crowd, I always had trouble and anger toward C, Java, (and even ADA for syntactic choices) and when I got into lisps it felt like finding home. There's less of what I don't like (side effects, syntax) and more of what I like (value oriented, composability, principled, interactive, tree/recursive thinking, ability to customize your language more).

A 'cleaner' starting point might be clojure (lisp on top of the JVM). Rich Hickey tried to make it short and principled, leveraging interfaces for polymorphism. schemes are cool too.

Some cruft in lisp I still like, like car/cdr .. in clojure they're named first/rest .. obviously more obvious.. yet a I miss using car and cdr to walk/deconstruct structures. There's something timeless about them.
Wow, this is just next level. Paying for deletion of your account? Okay I'd cancel my credit card before I'd pay a euro for that.

I don't disagree, and after some consideration and testing, will use the RFC recommendation of 3 iterations, 4 lanes, 64 MiB RAM.

However, it's also important to take note of how the KDF is used, and what is used by comparable solutions in equivalent settings.

For instance, the official extension, sold by the SQLite authors, uses RC4:

“For the "-textkey" option, up to 256 bytes of the passphrase are hashed using RC4 and the hash value becomes the encryption key. Note that in this context the RC4 algorithm is being used as a hash function, not as a cryptographic function, so the fact that RC4 is a cryptographically weak algorithm is irrelevant.”

The textkey= parameter is not really appropriate for interactive use, rather it is a convenient way for a user to specify a key in text form, as a URI parameter, without weakening it (by e.g. making NULs impossible, and reserved characters inconvenient to encode).

If you're taking a password from a user interactively, you should really be using your own password hashing, then using hexkey=. I'll try to make this clearer in the documentation.

Each little doodle is a single div. Or rather each one has a container div that they don't count. Then the main div that they do count. Then content inserted with ::before and ::after that they don't count.

It's interesting as a creative exercise. However I've alway found that abusing ::before and ::after is a bad practice. The desire for "clean" html is silly, clear html is easier to maintain.

> If your language only supports adding more complexity and never simplifies syntax, it's inevitably going to be replaced. The same thing will happen with Rust in 20 years, it's just how things go.

I feel like this won't necessarily happen with Rust, because Rust isn't locked down by any standard, breaking changes can happen and there are also Rust editions which help with the whole process of updating the language. The "better Rust" might just be another revised edition of Rust
Well aware of Heller. Just as OP said SCOTUS went in the wrong direction for 1A, I similarly believe the Heller decision was incorrect.

I’m not trying to start an argument on the legitimacy or lack thereof of decisions; I’m pointing out that if you want to play the originalist game, there are plenty of other examples that you may not like.
China has been for some time a mercantile state that believed trade surplus and subsidising local production would create geopolitical strategic outcomes in its favour.

I hear you. But I’ve been programming for 30 years and I have some strong intuitions around where my code needs an empty line to space things out. Stuff like that. The day I first tried gofmt and it removed some of my carefully considered whitespace, I turned around, put blood on my hands in the old way and made a promise to the night that my soul belongs to me and gofmt will never sully my code with its corporate BS aesthetic.

Some consistency in a codebase is good. Naming consistency. Indentation. But people go too way far with it. Who cares if your JavaScript makes consistent use of semicolons? It doesn’t matter. It just doesn’t matter.

The illusion paradigm

By saying you want to be happy, you’re already telling yourself there’s a gap between your state currently and that you wish to accomplish

“I’ll be truly happy WHEN”

When comes and goes, rarely have I heard someone say “well I said I’d be happy when this happened, it’s happened, and now I’m happy. All done”

Fully agree, it’s a state of mind.

I’d also add most people who say they want to be happy don’t seem to be looking for happiness but rather contentness, but I digress
Apple has done buybacks for a while though, it is only much larger now. I believe their historical buybacks were around the $25b.

Doing this buyback is an indication that the roic is not great enough and deem it better to give it back to shareholders. Huge acquisitions are neither easy or cheap, cheap in the sense of not only the multiple you are paying but also the costs downstream of having to take over that company.
Should add that with serious running training it is hard and painful, but more on aggregate. Even when I'm just base building, and maybe doing 1 or 2 'kinda hard but not all out' sessions a week, the accumulated load feels hard.
Ah, in my context, N is the number of live allocated objects that the memory allocator knows about. If you use a data structure like a red-black tree to track the metadata, the work you do traversing and maintaining the tree will grow log N with the number of live allocated objects you're tracking. The radix tree specialization I presented is constant with respect to the number of live allocated objects.
There isn't some hard and fast distinction between jogging and running that suddenly makes jogging bad for your joints and running not. "Jogging" just a name for a pace. The vast majority of people run "easy" pace runs at a jog. Jogging is running, but sprinting is not jogging. Sprinting and jogging are both running. Both are perfectly fine for your joints.
