Until a while ago, when a user landed on their board, we threw all the board data right into the client (usually a web browser running on a desktop computer). the client is limited in its resources. Depending on

I wonder what falls under this "access to data" law. Say Anna and Benjamin have email accounts with the same provider. Anna sends an email to Benjamin. Anna deletes the email from her outbox. The provider still knows that Anna sen

The way I understand the article, the banks ain't making $64B from free cashless payments but from other services like non-free cashless payments, loans etc.

Even after reading two articles about this, I don't understand the legal context. The guest seems to not have a contract for a long term stay. So how can they have any protections that cater to real renters? Does this mean everybody wh

What I don't like about Docker is that it spews stuff all over the place. After installation, it is constantly running. As can be seen by: ps aux | grep docker And it occupies IPs: ip addr | grep I was on a train in

I think this is a "trick" to get around the GDPR. Many European newspapers already do this: The GDPR says that it is not allowed that the user who denies their personal data to be stored experiences negative consequences because o

The nice thing about a bookmarklet is that it works on all of my devices. Even on my tablet. And that editing it is possible by simply right clicking the bookmark and hitting "edit".

It seems very natural to me. A button, which I click to get to the next task. It makes some checks if I accomplished the last task etc and then brings me to my next task.

What is most important to me in a browser is that I can customize it. So I am very annoyed if that is restricted. As it happened with the latest update of FireFox: Recently, my Firefox updated and now I can't run bookmarklets anymore r

I can't remember what exactly was slow, but some characteristics of the workload: Some of the tables were so big that neither the table itself nor the indexes fit into memory. The important tables where rather narrow. Like 5 integer fi

Not true. I have been sitting together with folks whose life is configuring MySql and they couldn't tune InnoDB to match the performance of MyIsam. This was for an application which did a long running numbercrunching job on a large dat

Depends on your definition of "much greater chance of corruption". I have yet to see a single instance of this happening. And I have been running a bunch of servers for decades, each serving complex web applications to hundreds of

they work like auto commit Which makes the code way simpler and performance way higher.

Not going to happen. I don't like how InnoDB lays out data on disk. MyIsam and Aria tables are so much nicer with the data structured logically in files which hold the data of individual tables and directories which hold the data of in

The problem with low-code is the same as with outsourcing code on UpWork: Security You get something that works. But how do you know there is no way to: 1: Alter the code from the outside 2: Access parts of the DB one is not supposed to acc

If you had invested $1B in each of those 5 companies, you would probably still have made a great return, now that Tesla is at $770B.

Elon Musk’s factory requested an ambulance or helicopter 247 times in the first year after opening alone Isn't that an insanely high number? If there are 10k people working there, that means that as a Tesla employee,

To me, this big problem with Docker is that it does a ton of changes to my system, even when I don't use it. It runs a daemon, it uses a bunch of IPs, it mounts a ton of stuff ... Is there a reason for all that noise and complexity? Th

It did not cross your mind to read the rules of Show HNs?

Abusing a "Show HN" for a complaint about a company does not really signal that you can be trusted to stay within the boundaries of what is allowed and ethical. Not taking the time to use proper spelling and punctuation in your te

That's why HTTPS is still a pain in the butt. 30 years after it was invented. I don't want internally used subdomains to be public. Because of certificate transparency, the only way to achieve that is via wildcard certs. Let'

But this change levels the playing field, doesn't it? Previously only Google and other big data brokers could figure out that a visitor who looks at a jokes site is interested in toasters. Now every site can.

Sites that get really big, usually do "give up" the old way of sending out the users data to a gazillion of advertisers. Because they have the inhouse resources to segment their users: https://www.reddit.com/ads.

I am not sure if this change is really a bad thing. I don't really know, how the current wild west of online ads works and who stores which data about users. But if Google throws their weight behind the idea that a common set of inform

Multiple curts have ruled that the information "IP soandso visited page soandso" and "IP soandso downloaded font soandso" are personal data. Therefore it is very likely they will rule the same for "IP soandso instal

Does this mean the engine will phone home every time a software which contains it is installed? How is that compatible with the GDPR which has been interpreted by courts in a way that it forbids sending any network packets to the USA, no ma
