I'm responsible for GDPR in a small European company that processes fairly sensitive data. It's not that complicated as people like you make it out to be - if you're willing to actually try to do the right thing.

Treating the browser's "disable cookies" feature as a way to reject consent is not real consent . That cripples many legitimate use cases outright; it's neither accessible nor understandable by normal users; it's a

It was always possible to ask the user for permission when you actually want to store something on their device, ie. go for an opt-in model.

Create a design spec and implementation plan first. If necessary, split that in phases. Then create a ledger that always holds the current status, and instruct the model to update that after it completes a task in the plan, and to append an

As Donald Trump and the Republicans have so aptly proven, all checks and balances depend on an elaborate system of conventions, manners and personal honor, and a general spirit of compliance. As soon as the electorate votes for a party and

They also thought owning slaves was a good idea. Perhaps we shouldn’t let men dead for centuries dictate how to run the country anymore?

Never compact. Not automatically, not manually. Instead, let it write ledgers and checklists or handover prompt if necessary, and start fresh sessions as often as possible.

Mine will just sit somewhere else where he thinks I surely must see him now, and lick his lips when I look at him just to make a point. Sometimes I wonder if he’s considering hitting me with his bowl because I’m obviously too stupid to unde

And use Alpha-3 country codes which are superior in any possible way regardless of YAML :)

right? Sensible nesting (that's how I'd break and indent a long query anyway), folding in proper code editors, proper hierarchy... what's not to like?

I realised that after posting, but then I suggested sending them as header in the first place.

Things are cheap until they are someone else’s problem, I say!

Should we let vibe-coded agent harnesses dictate protocol design now..? On the flip side, I'd argue that the current centralisation of user agents (in the classical sense here) that benefit from programmatic content negotiation in form

Not necessarily. They could also send a HEAD request to the URL first, to see the headers only and decide on the available alternates. I am well aware that few sites are taking that much care of their API in terms of HTTP features, but all

That entirely depends on the server. A good solution would be to include Link headers in all responses: Link: /some-page rel="canonical" Link: /some-page.json rel="alternate" type="application&#

Conceptually, I’m not sure I agree. There’s elegance in clients saying "I want this resource, and I’d like to get your markdown version of it. If you don’t have one, I’ll also take HTML." And if you couple that with optional &quot

Unless you have some kind of dynamic DNS with a background daemon, you'll be bothered by NAT eventually. And even then it's hardly as convenient. With Tailscale, I can sit on a rooftop bar in the Medina of Marrakech, connect my ph

Just like C# has baggage. Or R has. Or Go, to some extent. This is a non-sequitur.

Show me a language that old without lots of cruft. The worst thing you can find is the standard library, which is just an unsolvable problem.

I can only recommend to check out a popular project, maybe Laravel, and read it’s documentation. Alternatively, look at the PHP website itself. The new syntax improvements alone are pretty convincing IMHO, but the engine also got a JIT comp

No, sorry, that’s a strawman. You’re framing this as if we were talking about some nuanced policy issue, which it isn’t. The concrete situation is a president unilaterally renaming a geographical feature for no other defensible reason than

And for good reason. It’s an insult to the rest of the world.

It’s not like that cannot be changed. Look at PHP, which managed to evolve brilliantly over the last decade and gets tons of things right now.

As they should. As a customer, I want to be able to hold a business accountable, and the minimum requirement for that is being able to identify the legal person responsible for that business.

Among others, Peter Thiel or Elon Musk talk about their disdain for democracy and desire for another form of government very openly; this isn't a secret. If you doubt this, I really recommend researching a bit for yourself.

Yes. He also says: “How do you find problems worth working on?” a senior engineer I mentor asked me recently. My point is that I'm working in a whole different environment, and the challenge - to me - is never finding interesting p

Funny people should have that problem. I have spent most of my career in the startup space, and my experience has consistently been that the amount of problems to solve is vastly larger than what I can reasonably achieve in my waking hour
