That's an incorrect understanding. It creates a range of requirements for essentially any service with users in the UK if there is UGC or messaging. Then there are additional requirements applied to 3 classes of services: Category 1,

I had to fire the MSP I hired because they needed to install some software on everyone's computer, so they sent a company-wide email, with no clearance from anyone, directing approximately 40 people to open terminal and paste in a stri

The idiots at my former credit union apparently subcontract out their credit cards to some east coast bank, whereas my bank and I live on the west coast. I saw some bank from Florida, that I'd never heard of, calling me on my cell. I

Each non-imax ticket at my local theater is $20.74. I just punched in the 2 tix, 1 popcorn, and 2x sodas: $61.08 + tax. And that's w/ no candy, and I love sour candy.

Also, I know this sounds like get off my lawn, but people behaved better. Or maybe they didn't didn't, but the penetration of flashlights kept in people's pockets wasn't 100%. Which is pretty annoying now that a movie

power regularly hits 50 cents a kilowatt hour where I live. Most of those seem to treat power like its free.

I have one: features I've tried this on in my codebase. Because claude and gemini have both failed pretty badly. So it's pretty stupid to just assume that critics haven't tried. Example feature: send analytics events on app

It's not complex. I worked on a big site. We did not have the compute or i/o (most particularly db iops) to live generate the site. Massive crawls both generated cold pages / objects (cpu + iops) and yanked them into cache

The EU certainly proposed something not far off. And it took the python foundation threatening to block all users from the EU to partially shelve it. The compulsion: jump through EU paperwork hoops, perform security work, and fix bugs on d

Also, it mentions apprenticeships have also declined by 30%. Assuming that means trades, you either should be pretty skeptical that LLMs are causing this, or at minimum be proposing some method by which an LLM reduces demand for plumbers a

I don't disagree with the thrust, but I've recently cleaned some of those up. One example: LLMs aren't smart enough to do things like properly manage zip codes with leading zeros. It was round tripping strings through an int

Saving this to explain why software is hard. For a long time, inode numbers from readdir() had certain semantics. Supporting overlay filesystems required changing those semantics. Piles of software were written against the old semantics;

You do not understand GDPR at all. Both performance of contract and legitimate interests cover security issues and associated logging.

The shitty software my landlord used to use -- the Buildium / Realpage scum -- decided to put a popup on every rent payment trying to get me to pay the Realpage scum $5 to $10 to report the rent payment to the credit bureaus.

Maybe uncharitable, but it seems like BotGhost comprehensively doesn't take security seriously. Not only were there bad vulnerabilities, but they didn't have the logging (or didn't use it) to see who was affected; didn'

That's because Amazon is, in large part, a front end over Alibaba with exactly zero enforcement of regulation. But they do manage to charge way more!

Of course it's about Go. They decided to build not just opt-out unmarshaling of objects, but fragile opt-out. See eg rails' strong params for the opposite approach: opt-in.

I am not capable of solving shitty downscaled image sharing; flakiness with mms message receipt (esp photos) both on tmobile and verizon; and even worse downscaled video sharing. Because those cannot be addressed by anyone but the telcos.

The risk is the same reason we don't allow any of our servers to make outgoing network connections except to a limited host lists. eg backend servers can talk to the gateway, queue / databases, and an approved list of domains for
