I’ve found that good logging/tracing discipline can play an important role here. For example, my team has a guideline to put a debug! message before blocks of code that are likely to fail. Then if something goes wrong, we can dial up t

Current MS employee here. For a time this was true, but FF recently added this integration. No about:config needed, there’s simply a checkbox under the FF security settings. Since this was added, I have gone back to using FF as my daily dri

> rust solves the issue of finding competent engineers That's a very cynical take, but I think there's a kernel of truth in there somewhere. Rust does indeed make it much harder for less experienced programmers to make certain

I'm fortunate enough to have just landed on a new team working with embedded Rust. Here are some of my takes, in no particular order. The language and ecosystem have come a long way in a very short time. It's easy to use safe `no_

My experience in a big metro area has been that almost every Uber driver does this full-time, and their vehicle is for the sole purpose of Uber. I guess it depends on where you are.

Counterexample: comedy central now has to work to redact all noncompliant programming. Best practices are funny because context and history are important. Actual regulation is not so forgiving.

This is incredibly false. When you change the law, you can't assume that people who are currently in compliance will continue to be.

"We could have done it this way." doesn't pay the bills (or in this case, doesn't prevent steep fines).

Definitely not true. GDPR significantly broadens the types of data subject to legal requirements. Whereas yesterday I only had to protect PII and content, now even telemetry and performance data becomes subject to new rules. This is a huge

Absolutely! Anybody who does business in Europe or even has users in Europe is subject to this law. The amount of effort being put into GDPR compliance within my organization is just staggering. It really makes me think about these kind of

> then you can't use .Net That's just plain wrong. Not only might .NET be a good option for a backend system (which can, of course, communicate with any platform), but people have been using .NET on non-windows systems via Mono

Lack of a federal law doesn't necessarily make that comparison invalid; perhaps there should even be an analogous law protecting "free speech platforms" that is rooted in the first amendment, similar to how the law you cite i

Not sure if it's already possible, but it would be nice to have nested navigation (like with drop-down sections). Even without that, though, Min is really exactly what I think of when I need a lightweight framework that gets out of my

At first I got this confused with mincss [1], which is my go-to for quick and dirty sites. This looks like it could be a good option too! [1] http://mincss.com/

It's specifically a vulnerability in system firmware, and they provide a nice table listing the affected ranges of firmware versions.

I don't even know where to begin debugging. My browser just locks up and has to be killed. Usually before the page with the REPL even starts rendering. Weird.
