Good to know about such clauses in GDPR and CCPA. I didn't take the time yet to read our own law in detail. I've read that it's gotten much inspiration from GDPR, but the articles I've read so far didn't mention suc

That's a good idea. I also feed fake data to those "extra-official" enlistments. But never thought about keeping a control to discover the responsible for the occasional leak. In Brazilian drugstores, there are legitimate sit

There are commercial services which allows companies to query government's database to check a given CPF's situation. But they usually don't confirm that the number you give actually belongs to you. I always give a bogus, yet

Drugstores in Brazil are doing it and that concerns me A LOT. Their modus operandi is to ask you your CPF (it's like an SSN, but not that secret and powerful) and, if you refuse to tell them, you are not eligible for some discounts whi

Exactly the same is happening in Brazil. There are websites like these related to both extremes of the political spectrum, but the vast majority is tied to the far right-wing. And in our case, I believe the situation is even more "inte

Agree that you should never rewrite from scratch. However, I believe that almost 100% of rewrites are not actually from scratch : even if not a single line is reused, there will be plenty of experience serving as a foundation. I'm not

There is a few more competitors today, though.

100% agree. I've worked in maybe a half-dozen projects where flexibility was a critical concern and, as the result, the end product became harder to understand and maintain. Besides, the vast majority of the flexibilities built into th

I believe that one area the author's criticism mostly applies to is that of business applications. I've been working as a user and developer in such field and I see a number of advantages of older applications (and even those text

An interesting experiment: if you have the chance of going to one those decades-old stores using text based interfaces, ask the employees about which systems they like most -- the old-school ones or the new desktop or web based ones. I inva

+1 for: - writing down the ideas after finishing a working session. Besides, I never understood why, but doing that using pen and paper works way better to me. I have an inclination to overthink, which uses being much more exhausting than t

The thing of stopping half-way to have a clear beginning next time operated wonders for me too. Not necessarily leaving a task incomplete: in case of small tasks, it also worked for me to have the next task clearly defined.

I'm glad for you. I'm aware of a dozen of systems in my country built using VB6 or Clipper/Harbour (text mode) which are still in use. And what I like most on such cases of success is that users mostly feel pleased by using t

Agree, but what we've seen was the extreme opposite of a rigorous protocol. Based on mere six cases or so, authors made an extremely bold claim. That could justify further research, though, and they were in fact made. Within some weeks

Indeed. Reminds me of that infamous study about chloroquine ran by scientists of the university of Marseille in March. Despite all the criticism regarding the very small sample and a bunch of huge methodological failures, one of the authors

That is one of the reasons why I think Esperanto has too much more to offer to the World as an international language than English. I'm not an activist. Besides, I enjoy so many features of English. But the resources one must invest to

Thanks for sharing this. I think I'll experiment presenting the situation to a customer using such model as soon as I have a opportunity. Sounds good.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm glad that you looked for a therapy. We are all going through tough times regarding jobs and economy, but I'm pretty sure you'll be OK. Stay safe and don't let the present times let you down,

In my country, probably the most well-known IT-related jobs website (www.apinfo.com) is something around 20 years old and uses basically the same technologies and concepts that were mainstream at the time. Coldfusion, plain HTML, ad spaces

I've faced situations like yours. Your expectations are totally reasonable IMO, but, in order to promote a significant change at the current company, you may have to go through a probably long process with many layers of human factors
