You can't have a legitimate opinion on whether GDPR is a good thing or not, because you don't event understand what data is.

Clearly, the EU can't enforce or even make laws that apply globally. If you don't have a presence in the EU the GDPR does not apply to you, period. And the GDPR doesn't apply to EU citizens outside the EU, period. But this

They don't own the data either. Think about. A person doesn't own the random bits (data) about them that goes through and is stored on various systems they interact with. Under the GDPR in the EU, they might have a right to know

I keep telling people - the thing that changes with GDPR is that personal data you handle is now still owned by the person and only in your custody as long as they explicitly allow it. That person doesn't own those bits on that hard

The goal is to grant the EU large new powers over the private sector and in particular over American tech firms, who will repeatedly be fined and treated as, effectively, a new source of tax income I'm guessing the rest of the world

Despite the propaganda being thrown around on HN, GDPR only affects businesses that have operations in the EU.

So Joe random blogger has to disclose his "thinking process"? "Well, I was thinking about this, so I wrote down this. Then in the shower I had another thought, and that's why I wrote this". I wish people would thi

In a statically-typed language it should be reliable. I can see this having big benefits in dynamic languages where pattern analysis needs to be done. Just wish she wasn't saying "powered by AI" every other sentence. Program

But the problem is, around that beautiful core, the React community has built a mass of libraries, meta-frameworks, techniques and practices that are decidedly less beautiful. This is exactly what I have found working with React for the

I don't agree with the premise of "we think we're special either", but Come up with a solution to a problem before you start writing code, and think about which parts of the system that solution will impact. Divide th

I'm in the same boat as you. I work from home and so does my wife. I'll just be passing by to go to the bathroom or something and she'll want to have a 20 minute conversation about something. I don't want to be rude,

That's a very unlikely "solution" and is not going to happen unless the EU wants retribution in some form from the rest of the world.

Despite the propaganda flying around HN for known political purposes, they can't and won't arrest you because there is no jurisdiction unless you have operations in the EU.

You have to understand that statists, many in government don't want citizens to be omniscient, omnipotent or anything else that gives individuals more power. Oh no siree bob...that must be stopped with only government authorities to ha

The whole story sounded fishy. That would have definitely made national news with a hostage situation and drones used by the hostage takers...yeah something is fishy.

With a whole laundry list of restrictions of what can and cannot be changed while running. I think they've retrofitted Mono to run in interpreter mode or something in order to get around those restrictions

I'm guessing the vast majority of Android development is still using Java as its language, but I would assume with Kotlin being an official language for Android, that will be changing in the next few years. And of course, you're n

And not only that, but but being able to debug and change code without restarting the debugger was something I was always envious of coming from the .NET side of things. Java Hotspot has always been a huge productivity booster.

From purely a standpoint of how smart the IDE is with the language (C# vs Java) then Eclipse and Intellij have always trounced Visual Studio - even with Resharper installed and to this day.

If you look from a maturity of the Java ecosystem perspective, then even now there's a point to be made. Even compared to Java IDEs of a decade and a half ago, the refactoring, and other smart-assist facilities in Typescript editors&#x

That's Eric Gamma. And I believe he developed the Monaco editor, which is/was the core of Visual Code, and is part of that team now.

IIRC, it was the way that Eclipse did/does the "explorer" window. It always had extraneous (meta stuff) in there that always drove me crazy.

I remember back in the late 90s I had bought some Borland JBuilder IDE (shrinkwrap, at software store of course), so when Eclipse came around it was awesome. And don't forget how ugly those Swing-based IDEs were because of the ugly, no
