As someone who grew up in Argentina, the idea that the US has seen anything close to 100% inflation is very funny to me.

I reject the idea that not having a backyard means that that property is shitty.

Segregating housing from industry makes sense, and is what's done everywhere, but segregating housing from services, like coffee shops or day-care, is a very uncommon thing globally.

They are sued for blocking pre-existing access. Everyone, including those doing the blocking, acknowledge that the beach is public, but by blocking access they are trying to avoid people actually using it so they can enjoy it as if it were

If you're technically unable to comply with the requirements of fetching all PII for a given person and subsequently delete it, you have no business storing that PII in the first place. Your line of argument is like complaining that se

There were already updated requirements to avoid some dark patterns deployed in the wild, like mandating providing a "reject all" button.

That is precisely the intent of the law: align the incentives of users and service providers, making storing PII annoying enough that the service provider will ask themselves "do I really need this data in the first place?"

If you didn't have any use for that data, why was it being stored in the first place? If it continues to not be necessary for your business, why don't you stop recording it instead of building an index to remove them after the fac

Correct. The banners started as malicious compliance and then became the "industry norm" so everyone followed through.

GDPR is not the ePrivacy directive. The later is the one that resulted in the cookie banners, the former protects the right of Europeans to have their private data remain so.

I'm not sure what you mean. There are fewer flashy announcements for things that block people, but development continues unabated, with large refactors that enable things that weren't possible before. Things like Return Position I

I'm not sure I understand your point, but I'll elaborate on ways that we could "homogenize" the two features: --- We could add implicit enums to impl Trait, so that you could return different types from a function:

by estebank 2y ago
Enums are closed sets and trait objects are open sets. They are conceptually related concepts, but the language puts syntactic distance between the two, and I don't think it should. There are lots of open design questions for every f

Tagged unions + pattern matching is what gp wants. You can always encode whatever model you want using any programming language, but language features/ergonomics matter.

Proc macros in Rust are objectively bad in a number of ways (limited to only dealing with tokens/no type system access, hard for newcomers to grasp and write, force a lot of attributes to be written to annotate specific items, etc.) b

It can be for either. These ones for example are unlikely to stop a truck going at high speed, but will stop someone who doesn't want a repair bill from parking. https://maps.app.goo.gl/sYuNiXN4TqAcsHLg9

That feature is almost assuredly not going to land on stable but the more general "deref_patterns" which would allow matching on boxed values, as well as on `Vec`s and `String`s will. It is not anywhere close to finished, but
