As someone who is going through a data protection audit with his company: They take the process very seriously and ask some tough questions. It's better to be prepared and play it right from day 1. Proper documentation matters as well.

That is so painful to read. On the one hand, USPS is apologising for the inconvenience, on the other hand they're shifting blame away from themselves by recommending to use more tape?

I think the last article written by byuu mentioned the package value exceeding the normal insurable amount.

Building a SaaS, or even starting to build one, is very rewarding. Out of my projects, nothing has become profitable (but it's not about becoming profitable in the short-term, at least for me), but wearing 100 hundred hats teaches you

Full Ack. Not only do we need privacy respecting data storage and social media, but a EU privacy friendly search engine will be a step in the right direction as well.

I would love to try out your tool, but I'm getting a 504 Gateway Time-out on http://data.occrp.org/ . Is there any chance I can give Aleph a spin?

Talking about pragmatic human rights: Fiat money exists as legal tender in many countries in one form or another. No shop keeper can turn you down for wanting to pay with Dollars. With Bitcoin that's a different story. While I wholehea

I don't think the code in the 2048 example is complete, it is just some GUI boilerplate. I would love to see the rest of this.

I really wonder how software verification works in the case of Code Valley, e.g. if you order List.append a b, how do you know it won't return List.append b a? This could perhaps be a great application for Idris-Style dependent types.

So is this something like numer.ai but for code?

Yes, great suggestion! I've added it a couple of hours ago. Thanks!

Thank you for the feedback. I've added percent growths and I would like to encourage you to try the tool again. Thanks!

Hi, the creator here. I've been playing around with a lot of SaaS ideas in my head and needed a tool that would allow me to play around with different pricing strategies. I hope this tool will help someone on their journey to creating

What is the performance impact on INSERT when using tables with complex indices like the one mentioned in the article?

Most versions of Skype use SQLite for local storage, if that is of any help!

The lack of introspection for union types during compile time has created some frustration for me as well. Not having some kind of compile time union list available sucks (it would probably be possible using some LISP-esque macro system), b

Fascinating. I wonder how easy it is to understand cohesion and coupling just by looking at these visualisations.

This article points out a few right things, but also skips over the wrong parts. Namely, the amortised time complexity of dynamic lists. Amortised analysis treats operations not as single events but looks at the time complexity over the spa

Interesting article and funny to see the shout out to Elm. I think the first few code samples made it very clear that Elm is missing something, at least for this type of generic programming, namely higher order types. Too many times I had t

Comparing UUIDs is cheap, but avoiding non-constant-time compares is a necessity. So the usual for loop with an early exit when two bytes don't match up is poison. A web application could become susceptible to timing attacks. This is a

For those who are not sure about the difference UUID vs. GUID UUID = Universally Unique Identifier, RFC 4122 ( https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122.html ) GUID = Globally Unique Identifier, the (mostly) Microsoft flavored

Most programming languages do not use secure random number generators. As you suggested it is not always wise to use UUIDs for API keys if you are not sure about the nature of the PRNG. Python for example uses os.urandom for random UUID gen

I'm glad to see that problems with Anker USB 3.0 Hubs happen not only for me. In my case, the Wifi became unusable once the Hub was connected. Quite a shame for a nice looking, affordable device to have a breaking issue with shielding.

There is a great episode on Planet Money about Strads and other objects that have a high perceived value due to the history and branding that come with them. They cite the same 2012 Indianapolis study mentioned in this article. The research

Given that Lua and Squirrel are quite similar due to meta tables resembling each other, what does Squirrel provide compared to Lua except for the C-Style syntax?

That is the guide that helped me start, but is a long way to go until your first elm-only app. IMO the biggest weakness in the elm package ecosphere is that there is no proper solution to do url routing. While elm-lang/navigation and e

That looks like an amazing concept! I especially dig the wading pool improvisation. Ideally I would like to have something like this for indoors. Are there any plans to offer a non-backyard version at some point in the future?
