I think it is the reverse, although I may have misunderstood your statement. GDPR applies to the entity controlling the data, not the resident. So Google LLC is subject to GDPR. Further, an EU citizen is entitled to use Google LLC and by providing services to an EU citizen, Google LLC has to abide by GDPR. So, my understanding is that Google may move an EU citizen's data to a US company as long as the US entity abides by GDPR.

Agreed. In my class I always start with the hard/wrong way. Point out why it's hard/wrong. Let them hate it. Then show the easy/correct way. You can't just point them at something and say, "Do it this way or else." That's not teaching. That's directing.

Are you okay?

I would hope the answer to "how would you write a distributed database from scratch" isn't "I'd use PostgreSQL."

Actually, I'd probably do the same.

I'm a people person, damnit!

AI/ML

It forces developers to write better code because they have to maintain it from design to deploy. The biggest pushback I've seen is from people who don't want to think about how inefficient their app runs in the cloud and just want to write the next API.

I hope no one calls it lightweight. We've been running a few or our own benchmark tests for various frameworks and we have found that Quarkus running on GraalVm is the definition of lightweight.

The blockchain months were rough.

Back to the basics. Just build something people want.

I yell often in my teams/skype messages to people because I'll switch from the mainframe to the modern world. Kinda humorous.

+1 for sendgrid

Underscores are difficult to distinguish from underlining. That's just one issue.

It's also a use case thing. Double click on each sentence and note the behavior. It depends on which one you want. We use snake case in our urls because you can copy something from the documentation and easily highlight a portion to change.

Samesies. I'm glad someone else considers home built pipelines a fun hobby as well.

It's space. There isn't really steering; you have to use thrust to modify your vector.

Products are about people. Software is about code. Software accomplishes a task determined by business (or people needs) defined in a product.

Containerization is nice because it literally becomes a "write once run anywhere" kind of deal. If it runs on docker, it will run on any* docker.

The true gain is from container orchestration, ie Kubernetes. Scaling becomes nearly trivial. Resiliency is handled like a charm. There are so many pros to containerization with orchestration that libraries full of books have been written about them.

Regedit to fix windows search? No thanks.

Mint, the budget app

You don't know that for sure.

Ooo...that name takes me back.

Enterprises don't care at the micro level. There's near infinite more that do and that's where they make money.

IIRC they aren't on the app store. The app was side loaded onto android devices.

At least you're honest.

I feel this comment in my bones.

Not sure how tech and progressive politics interact; handling of data is another issue but that's not the tech side IMO.

Global domination?

I would not say Kubernetes is extremely easy. Running kubectl commands is easy. Setting up and building a cluster from scratch is not easy. You may have had an easier time, but I wouldn't label the whole process as easy.

Kubernetes the easy way is just the long way of saying "Rancher."

I feel that's why food trucks became popular. Low barrier to entry (relative) and allows people that know how to cook quickly cook for those that don't.
