The real world don't care about feelings.Feelings are extremely subjective making these kind of statements quite vague.

As a person with alexithymia, this is so confusing, I have no idea what "feels good" is supposed to mean. I know it's not bad, but that's a big spectrum of meaning. Good doesn't mean great or brilliant either. Just confusing.

"Doing the right thing by default" is a weird concept.

Who's default are we talking about here? The developers desired state of default, or the users?

Sounds similar to here in NL. Ubder drivers need to be licensed taxi drivers with all the appropriate permits and insurances.

There are taxi companies, but people are free to get a taxi permit and be a taxi driver without a boss. These guys use Uber now, and it seems to be working good.

The rating of drivers and customers seems to be well received, especially from my conversations with drivers. Also you have history in the Uber app, so if something happens, you forgot something, you know which car and which driver, or the driver knows which customer. This is almost impossible in a regular taxi unless you take time to bother to write down the driver details and the taxi car number.

There is still some issues with drivers not getting appropriately compensated for trips, and there's been a lot of attention to drivers not getting the extra cut of the surge pricing, Uber takes it all. Obviously not fair, but in the bigger picture of things it is good.

The cookie wall won't let me continue without agreeing to cookies. I can reject them in the Cookie Policy, but that too is protected behind the cookie wall.

Obviously, this doesn't comply with the GDPR, and makes the site unreadable for some.

You could just GPG sign your commits, then you can know for sure where the commit is coming from.

You don't have to be a customer for GDPR to apply to you, they just have to collect PII from you to be considered the data subject and now the organization need to follow GDPR.

If you collect data from me when I visit your website, even without me buying anything, you have now collected data and you need to comply.

The use of the word "customer" in this context is incorrect.

What's with this negative attitude against regulations with regards to startups?

"Move fast and break things" should be applied to your technology, not the laws where you operate!

That's exactly why the GDPR is put in place, to give users transparency and force website to ask the users consent before tracking.

You'll see some sites have quite an extensive menu of opting in to various tracking etc. For example Engadget or TechCrunch have a popup asking you to give consent, or not, before using the website. This is how it should be done.

Then there's other websites that shows you all it's tracking and ask you to just accept, there's no option to refuse, which is against GDPR, as implied consent is no longer valid.

And then you'll have websites like latimes that just goes "fuck it, we'll just block 500 million people in EU instead!"

Is the article available to Europeans somewhere? All I'm getting is a message with this:

> Unfortunately, our website is currently unavailable in most European countries. We are engaged on the issue and committed to looking at options that support our full range of digital offerings to the EU market. We continue to identify technical compliance solutions that will provide all readers with our award-winning journalism.

On the other hand, I'm wondering how much I want to read an article from a website where they must track me to when I just want to read something...

On the topic of messaging, GitLab acquired Gitter about a year ago:

Edit: I first said "not too long ago" then realized it was just about a year ago.. Where is time going!?

> Whenever a change in any service is merged to master, the CI rebuilds _all_ the services and pushes new Docker images to our Docker registry.

Why are you rebuilding _all_ the services, wouldn't it make sense to just rebuild the ones that have changes? You're now rebuilding perfectly working services without any new changes just because some other service changed, or am I misunderstanding something here?

There was a talk about this at 34c4 earlier today.

They probably don't want to send expensive science payload on the first test flight of a new launch system, in case of catastrophic failure or such.

I feel exactly the same, and I've rarely met people who do the same!

Specific task has its own window, with all related tabs in there. Another window, another task/context.

Agreed, this should really be a toggle switch in the user profile. The information about the date doesn't change, just the displaying of it.

It should be a simple thing, and it'll cater to more people's workflows.

I totally agree with this. The best interviews I've had with candidates have gone like this, and not only do you get a feel for their knowledge in a subject in a more relaxed way it also gives you a bit of a feeling if this person would fit in the team or not.

Being on the other side of the table, interviews done this way has landed me in my most interesting/best jobs, and in the best teams, in my opinion.

This seems more about capacity planning your application when running in the cloud.

I was hoping for some insight when you're hosting your own private cloud, that seems quite a bit more tricky. It's easy to prepare to scale up/down your deployment when all the hardware is already there, but when you're the one running the actual cloud and need to do the same, you can't just do an API call and suddenly have another 100 U of servers and switches racked, cabled and provisioned.

Still a nice article though!

Why?

Piracy, not privacy, correct? :-)

“You can’t change the system from within, it will only corrupt you.”

They don't seem to do the check when you apply. Years ago I fat-fingered my passport number, the ESTA went through fine, but I was refused at the airport due to my typo.

I had to make a new one on the spot, was no problem, but it seems that they will just approve the ESTA when applying for it, and then later refuse you if they want.

https://www.cloudorado.com/ provides more details and more providers though...

Arian Foster was on the Joe Rogan podcast a while back, they were talking a lot about head trauma, how it affects people and how they're dealing with it in NFL. Very interesting to watch/listen to.

That's a very interesting read, thanks for sharing.

This one is also quite nice I found: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontacted_peoples

> Uncontacted peoples, also referred to as isolated peoples or lost tribes, are communities who live, or have lived, either by choice (peoples living in voluntary isolation) or by circumstance, without significant contact with global civilization.

You could always just give the driver a bit of cash on the side, if you have any, like an old fashioned tip.

Maybe add an (2013) to the post title.

I'd expect it to be 23.
