Maybe consider using EU-based alternatives such as Mistral Le Chat, and StackIT. That at least gives privacy and transparency mandated by law. But yeah, migrating the core business systems to cloud surely adds risk of lock-in, as well as ju

Interesting concept. Although, when we get above the epic/ticket level and onto product management, we inevitable get into the process, product and project parts as well, and eventually we also get into the division of the R&D depa

C is 50 years old, and deliberately kept smalm as a KISS language (unlike the almost-as-old nowadays-bloated C++). There's simply not a lot happening to it - apart from being part of the root causes to 50% of all security vulnerabiliti

Kind of reminds me of the self-driving cars of the early 80`s. Yes, it worked! I a van, crammed with racks and racks of then-state-of-the-art electronics. But, as someone back then mentioned; While the car crawls at 30 km/h on an empty

What you are writing about are several different things; first of all, you're writing about open information - because truth is always a simplification of information. Information on the other hand, is man-made statements which some pe

I would suggest putting it out as open source with a permissive license that don't require upstream commitment. Because you don't want to become a maintainer. Just make it clear that it is provided as-is, without support. It does

Is it legal to teach kids and authors to write, by having them read lots of books? Reading a lot is a well-known strategy to become better at writing. Thus, I argue that any reasonably skilled LLM that use the scraped text as input, but not

Time is a mess. Always. The author only scratched the surface on all the issues. Even if we exclude the time dilation of relativity which affects GPS/GNSS satellites - independent of if it is due to difference in gravitational pull or

As a developer in the EU, I don't find the EU regulations burdensome. They mostly represent current best practices such as "don't electrocute or (for PCBs, plastics and metals) poison the customer", "make sure your

From today, new EU energy labelling rules apply to smartphones, cordless phones and tablets placed on the EU market. In addition to the well-known A-F marking, the number of charge cycles for the battery and its initial life, as well as scr

This is quite interesting, and might come as a surprise to some non-European marketers: Consent frameworks can’t just check a box — it’s a wake-up call for anyone still treating compliance as a technicality rather than a structural shift. I

There's nothing worse than UI trying to do data validation... The number of form validators that still barfs at anything that is not ACSCII7 isalpha() amazes me. Heck, the entire US is built by non-indigenous people! Internet domain na

I guess Europeans are quite satisfied that US don't have jurisdiction in the EU. Sure, GDPR isn't applicable against law enforcement, but it is a surprisingly strong public right. TM and robocalls? It didn't take long for all

Trademarks are tricky, since they only applies to a specific category of goods or services. They are especially tricky if you do not have a Registered Trademark. Pay a lawyer to send a generic cease and desist letter. If the infringer do no

That's great! Considering the millions of instructions that nowadays are executed just to cope with all layers of abstraction to read a sigle byte from a drive, we really need to start thinking about energy consumption and energy-effic
