The moan is about the language used, not the availability of the site.

GDPR applies whenever you're providing services to EU citizens, regardless of where you have operations. If you want those people to read your stuff, it applies to you. And before you say that's crazy, look at US tax laws.

Yes, my statement was very broad. But the point I'm trying to make is that regulation is usually reductive, not additive. It is definitely needed in many cases, and the state should interfere when necessary to ensure safety and fairnes

How exactly do wells and cisterns prevent wildfires? Like many others this technology treats the symptom and doesn’t solve the problem.

You can blame Cloudflare for not meeting their promises on free tier. But you can't blame them for "hiding" the errors. You are responsible to monitor your service, and it's good practice to have that happen externally f

This is an important comment. Would you put an engineer in charge of a bank product? What about a medical service? It's one thing to be consulted, it's another thing to be the decision-maker. I agree with the premise of the articl

So why not force the opening of the walled garden in law then? The EU has PSD2 now which forces all banks to have open APIs. We have multiple Plaid-like competitors providing the platform on top of those APIs. But it wouldn't have happ

Can you run docker and virtualisation software on these? I read a comment about Federighi mentioning that there's no EFI or dual boot, which I can't find now, and I assumed there's no virtualisation at all.

By "trick" you mean the only approach every chip-maker has been following for decades? Literally every single one. It's called binning.

The problem explored by the author is quite an interesting one. Developer experience is indeed fragmented, varied depending on the toolchains chosen and not always good. However, I have to disagree with the iPhone analogy. The consumer mobi

This is a great article. Even if you disagree with the conclusion and recommendation, it shows what you need to look out for when buying a monitor. I had to go through a similar exercise recently. The DisplayPort / USB-C / Thunder

Such a sad writeup. Having a journalist glorify some 10x gurus in a specific team and diss every other software developer in the world is not going to solve the problem at all. It's a shame though - because the topic is a really import

I agree. I'm not suggesting tech isn't important at all. I'm just trying to provide a counter point to the OP, whose argument sounds very one-sided. You can't build the next FB and Amazon without great tech. But they are

OK. I'll try to play devil's advocate here. Disclaimer: I think of myself as an engineer. I do believe your frustration comes from observing actual issues and you're right to express your disappointment. However, I can see a

Then I guess they are not good enough?! I use them (without other tools) and I'm happy, but do fairly simple python development. There's a reason many people choose other tools if these don't cover common cases.

Yet someone has made the decision to do bundle them with the language and provide a default. I'm not suggesting we have common governance, but these decisions need to be made.

The missing ingredient to really, REALLY solve these problems once and for all is an authoritative decision to switch package formats and run the whole dependency resolution stack by the core python language contributor team. I get backward

I've tried many different apps over the years. I was in the "manual entry is better" camp until I stopped due to friction several months later. The only app I've used which I haven't given up on is Emma ( https:&#x2

What proportion of the GDP before 1990 was from power production then? Your argument is anecdotal. Those reactors were vanity projects, not big contributors to economy.

Another Bulgarian here, living in London and contributing to the problem. This is a good article, but fails to show the breadth of the topic. I also disagree with many of the comments here, which (expectedly) are on the pessimistic side. Th

And when exactly did the news become public? In my experience it usually takes minutes/hours between the event and the mass media covering it. I can bet it isn't insider trading but algorithms reacting to news faster a human can.

While I've absolutely seen this, I've also seen many technical people not really understanding what the 80% do and assuming they don't do anything. You might be right for your own company/job, but I always take comments

Some of the meetings I've had have had 10x impact on what any individual contributor would have done during that time, if the meeting didn't happen. I think it's a fallacy to think of work this way. It doesn't really mat

I admire how you've managed to do this easily (and avoid writing code for everything). But the fact that you have to do it shows how broken and lethargic banks have become. In the UK, they are starting to wake up. The new "challen

This will depend a lot on where you are. In the UK, many FinTech startups have started launching current accounts targeted to freelancers and small businesses. Some examples: https://getcoconut.com https://www.tide.co

Historically, the citizens of the UK and former British Empire have never managed to pull off a revolution. I don't know if complacency is ingrained in the culture (plenty of evidence for the opposite), but the French started beheading
