Oh, facebook will pay for this breach. A lot. One thing is breach, the second part is hiding and not notifying "natural persons". They have basically violated (ignoring data collection methods etc.) what GDPR is about. But probabl

I am self hosted since forever or I will rather say - since ADSL was available. The server has changed "a bit" during the last 20 years (oh, Mercury mail server :D), but last "few" years (from FreeBSD 8 :D) I am happy ca

It is interesting that with 3d buttons in GUI I can immediately focus on the presable elements while I often struggle today with latest and the greatest flat designs - or rather say, my eyes are scanning for the button more time.

You are doing an unfair comparing of c/c++ with the availability of 3rd party libraries. There is just nothing wrong with c/c++. But you cant press alt+enter to get a third party library. And this is the only disadvantage for some

This is irrelevant, if you give F1 racing car to an enthusiastic casual driver, you will get a wracked car and few dead in matter of hours. And should I remember you how many exploits we had due to simple sql injection? The last buffer over

I agree with you. I am doing a lot of coding in Go for my multiplatform home projects and C/C++ at work 8 hours per day. Go brings faster results due to the really great and easy to integrate 3rd party libraries. There is literally no

Just a question, is it common in your country to actually bother with recruiters? I ignore them by default as I consider it a slimy business and quite frankly I dont care what they have to say. If I am interested into working for some compa

What I have seen everywhere is that all the consent is based on violating one of fundamentals of GDPR Art. 7(4): "It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent." All those dark patterns to hide the rejection, keep some things

This is actually quite simple. If google analytics, recaptcha, tag manager,... are going to the graveyard or they becomes payable, there is something to it. If it stays, the google statement is a blatant lie.

I agree with you. ORMs are at the end "converting" complexity of SQL capabilities into objects. It is perfectly normal that in best situation they will get at least as complex as SQLs but with features hidden behind annotations or
