In mathematics, a matrix doesn't have an 'offset' or a 'starting point.' I think that perceiving matrices in those terms is an artifact of thinking of matrices as sitting in an address space, where the elements of y

I would be extremely interested to hear a report or post-mortem of the porting process. The fact that a decade-old, resource-intensive C++ program can be ported successfully speaks well to WebAssembly living up to its potential. Knowing wha

Nope. Not even a little bit. The Right to Erasure is way overblown. Even in situations where a data subject can request it (which isn't all of them), a Controller can choose not to delete any data where they have an Overriding Legitima

In fairness to Go, there is a precedent for built-ins to be "special" in ways like this. So e.g. while there are no user-defined generic data types, the built-in collection types like array are generic. The Zen of Rust is very m

It's worth pointing out that, as with many writings from the eighteenth century, the meanings of words has shifted over time and the original meaning of the phrase is different what it would appear to modern eyes. The current definitio

One of the side-effects I'm seeing of GDPR is a stronger incentive to consolidate systems under central management. Companies that allowed different departments the leeway to control their own systems now find themselves literally not

GDPR does not say that IP address is PII. Among other objections, GDPR does not mention IP address, nor does it mention PII. The current guidance on IP addresses is ambiguous, but my understanding is that an IP address on its own does not

Not GDPR-compliant, nor would I personally consider it anywhere near complete. What information do you have about me? Can I see a copy of it? Why do you have it? What are you using it for? How long are you keeping it? How are you keeping

Death is just an "emotionally loaded topic"? I think it's perfectly reasonable to have principles, but value those principles less than human life. In fact, I wish more people did that. There are plenty of cases where we can

I think the big thing is that people expect their phones to leak some data. It communicates by definition, and that is essential to its operation. The fact that your car leaks such a large volume of sensitive data is surprising, and bec
