Can you show any evidence that people knowing they can get an abortion and where, leads to reduced contraception usage? Actually… next time you’re close to sleeping with someone, say “hey, you can just get an abortion, we don’t need to use

The definition of “promotion” here is bad enough that simply listing abortion as a provided service at a clinic would be illegal. We do not know who provides these services, because they’re not allowed to tell us they provide these services

The UK's "smart motorways" project does this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_motorway Actually turns out they're a terrible idea, tbh.

Then you also need to build and distribute Android and iOS apps for your employees. Congrats, you now have a significantly larger project than "put Mattermost on a server and update it occasionally".

You can find the scope of the GDPR in Article 3 of the GDPR: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-3-gdpr/ Read these as individual clauses; the Regulation applies if any one of them is met. An Italian company serving customers any

At present, there is no legal basis for a company covered by the GDPR to send personal data to the US or a US-owned company. The US needs to repeal the CLOUD Act, and maybe one or two other things, in order to make this situation work again

There's several self-hosted solutions, as well as several GDPR-compliant SaaS solutions. They generally work pretty well; I've seen people set up, for example, Plausible, in a couple of hours on a cheap VPS.

You're expected, wherever you are, to look into where any code you use comes from and what legal rights you have to use it. (The author not offering you a license means you can't use the code, nearly anywhere in the world - pretty

vMix managed to crash during nearly every event produced with it that I watched in 2021. Not the most solid software in the world, as nice as it is to use.

"Frowned on" here is a euphemism for "likely to get you 40 lashes". I'm sure you don't agree with that.

Sure. But if the "second-generation MTA" is next to impossible to learn how to configure, it doesn't really matter how good it is technically - it's unuseable unless configuring mail servers is literally your job, or you

Microsoft solved this for a lot of their server stuff by having a "show me the powershell command" at the end of most wizards. If you want to write a script, going through this process is usually a good idea.

When Google develops a product (Stadia) and does not adhere to web standards in developing that product, I do not know who else to blame for Stadia not working on browsers that support web standards, which was the criticism here.

The definition of emergency in this context is pretty close to "someone's gonna die if I don't make this transmission". He knows this. Every amateur radio operator knows this. He didn't make a mistake.

Async in Rust usually runs across many cores, using a work-stealing scheduler, fwiw.

by solar-ice 4y ago
As much as I agree, and it's a mess: you can very much use the tokio runtime's block_on function to do as little async as possible. Rust is in general a much nicer language, with lots of good tooling, when you pretend async stuff
