bertolo1988··on The EU's Copyright Proposal Is Extremely Bad News for Everyone, Even Wikipedia
Not correct. They can't contact without positive consent. How can they prompt consent if they can't contact them in the first place?
bertolo1988··on The EU's Copyright Proposal Is Extremely Bad News for Everyone, Even Wikipedia
Agreed

How is GDPR pro business if companies had to stop contact costumers?

Can you imagine how much businesses are ilegal now? Telemarketing is ilegal now, consultancy companies can't recruit new people via email or phone. People are yet to realize the true impact of GDPR.

bertolo1988··on The EU's Copyright Proposal Is Extremely Bad News for Everyone, Even Wikipedia
Are you aware that GDPR made every business that relied on finding costumers trough phone or email ilegal?

How can you defend a legislation that makes everyone illegal, even outside your jurisdiction?

bertolo1988··on GDPR for lazy people: Block all European users with Cloudflare Workers
Nothing will happen to companies outside the EU. You can violate GDPR freely.

There is no possible way they can enforce any law, fine or penalty outside their borders. They won't even try.

bertolo1988··on GDPR for lazy people: Block all European users with Cloudflare Workers
It's not. If you have any legal disagreement with a company outside the EU they tell you to complain on that company origin.

I experienced this myself. EU is absolutely powerless outside their borders.

Until there is an open source micro chip i won't believe that any security protocol is not being cheated.

Someone should do a movie out of this. One of the most amazing histories i have ever heard and it's not over yet.
bertolo1988··on Plain emails not only save time but work better (2016)
I had nightmares about this during the project. I am not even joking.
bertolo1988··on Plain emails not only save time but work better (2016)
I have had a job where they tried to implement emails 4 times. The last attempt is still ongoing and in my opinion destined to fail.

They wanted to implement few dozen of auto generated emails with huge content.

The task was suspended 3 times, always because of the same thing: cost. Its insanely costly and hard to make a good looking cross platform email. After every suspension there were new design changes to implement so we ended up starting almost from scratch in every attempt.

I worked on it for a bit and i can assure you email clients are the biggest shit. Specially Gmail and Outlook.

A few highlights:

* Javascript not allowed.

* Outlook processes HTML and CSS with a specific engine which is also used in Microsoft Word.

* Outlook does not support paddings.

* Gmail requires the styles to be all inline.

* We followed Foundation Zurb recommendations and used tables all over. Still didn't work on all clients.

Humanity urgently needs to replace the emails with something else. Not only because the clients suck but because the protocol is outdated.

bertolo1988··on Napa.js: A multi-threaded JavaScript runtime
> What if you have a large shared in-memory data structure that you want to update with lots of irregular translations in parallel

Use C++.

If you ever decide to scale and distribute it for real save the state in a database and orchestrate containers. For this solution i would recommend using Node.js or Go.

bertolo1988··on Napa.js: A multi-threaded JavaScript runtime
1 - How is REST complex?

2 - That is only true if the your bottleneck is on communication somehow. Usually it is not.

And a huge advantage: You will write stateless and easy to scale apps that do not care how the machine resources are being handled.

bertolo1988··on Napa.js: A multi-threaded JavaScript runtime
Its not up to me to know how to manage processes or threads. That's the SO task, not mine.

My app should be stateless and scale by replication. This is the most efficient solution in every possible way.

bertolo1988··on Napa.js: A multi-threaded JavaScript runtime
You can get rid of the need to multi threading by deploying more containers in the same machine or via orchestration.

I don't understand why people keep insisting that the lack of multi threading support is a Javascript problem when there are better and more scalable ways of using your machine resources.

Can you relate to Europe/US? I have no idea about what is going on on Yemen.
bertolo1988··on California’s deadly hepatitis A outbreak could last years, official says
I wanted to say vaccine! Sorry.
bertolo1988··on California’s deadly hepatitis A outbreak could last years, official says
The current version of hepatitis A grants immunity for life after the second dose. Those 2 doses are exactly the same and it was thought that they should be taken 6 months to 2 years after each other. A recent study says that the second dose could still grant immunity for life even if it is taken 5 years after the first dose. It is a super effective vaccine!

They also last for a very long time in a normal fridge.

Why isn't it included in normal vaccination plans? It looks like there is something controlling the supply and we are paying with human lives all over the world.

bertolo1988··on The rise and fall of Ext JS
Someone please explain me the difference between Override, Extend, Plugin and Mixin.

And what happens when i apply all of them in any order to a given method.

Could you also explain why basing your development on overriding and extending seemed like a good idea? Were people that scared of HTML and CSS?

The MongoDB Atlas service is really good. You guys should try it.

All they have to do is to lend some money.

Why would they maintain it? Browsers are providing headless ways to accomplish the same.
