Sure. If you then take personal responsibility for every accident even when going at or below the speed limit, I could quite live with this. "Personal responsibility" of course means making good for any and all damage you caused,

It will simply eventually become illegal to run without these limiters just as it is already illegal to use particularly polluting cars in cities (for example). Of course it will also be illegal to disable them. I don’t see how what you’re

So I am supposed to check the script Google sends me every time I access the page that this script does not now (only in an A/B test! Only in beta! It was a human error!) send all the page content to Google as well? Ridiculous.

I bought a winter coat there for 24.99€ in November and so far it lasted quite well. Given that it’s predecessor was 10x as expensive and was quite worn after 8-ish years, it was ok. Absolutely agree on tech, "Aldi-Notebooks" tend

1) Ask the user if they consent. If they don’t, let them continue using the product and do not collect any data. Make both the "Yes, I consent" and the "No, I do not consent" buttons equally large. 2) If they do consent,

All of these. Do not store user data on your end unless you absolutely have to. Do not give user data to third parties unless you absolutely have to. Do not do anything without the user explicitly or implicitly consenting to it. Example: Yo

Phoning home by default, necessary to display such "snippets" of course violates people’s privacy. That this is done not to pointlessly wish a happy new year but with commercial motives makes it even worse.

Well, none? To install GCC, Homebrew wanted me to install XCode first. That’s when I gave up because nothing was installed there by default except for an outdated Bash.

by claudius 8y ago
There's no pre-installed compilers on it (at least as of 2013) and Homebrew needed me to install XCode first before it could do anything. Admittedly I stopped looking into it and just shelfed the laptop until requesting a saner one.

Relatedly, I found it useful to pass -g1 and not just -g to GCC. The resulting debug information is a fair bit smaller and GCC itself also takes less RAM and less CPU time to compile template-heavy code (going from 10s of GB to 1-2 GB on on
