Wait what? a TCP request already breaks the GDPR rules? Didn't know that...

Any human readable ways of dealing with that?

serverQuestion··on Amazon Honeycode – build web and mobile apps without writing code
I think its good to realize that the waterfall method really encourages this. Thinking through everything before building can really help formalise informal workflows.

... then you get into standardised work flow diagrams and you are so far into UML that it just becomes programming again.

serverQuestion··on Show HN: Slingcode live-reloading web IDE to make, run, and share web apps P2P
I love all this P2P software being built, but it seems like if your peer to peer is just static html and friends. You are as much P2P as github pages.
serverQuestion··on Ask HN: How to learn to create/draw mental models for programming?
When starting to program so much abstractions take place. So explaining code paths step by step really helps. Plus writing it out, makes it easier to tackle it step by step. Then taking this flow and explaining it to my senior give me great points to ask questions.

Germany obviously old trees until they remove 80% of them...
serverQuestion··on Architects have designed a Martian city for the desert outside Dubai
This sounds like the USA, or any other country when they are still growing and developing as it sounds like the UAE.

Did the industrialists in the UK care about sustainability? Did the European colonialists care about sustainability?

Only now that our countries somewhat have our shit together we start caring about how clean our air is, how long our stockpile of resources/money lasts and how good and kind we are to our earth.

When your biggest struggle is having enough money to eat. That's your priority. Later on when your biggest issue is pollution because it will shorten your lifespan that's what you fight for.

serverQuestion··on Y Combinator cuts its pro rata stake and makes later investments case-by-case
I wouldn't be surprised that companies like Stripe arrive at a point where they want fewer investors controlling their company.

When you are Stripe big, what does YC do for you that you can't do with your own money printing machine? Aside from cash, there must be other advantages to having investors.

If the fascination peaked in 1971 then those who were 20 then finally had the money to spend on cars in the 90s and 2000s.

Cars are a status symbol because most city people don't really need them.

serverQuestion··on DigitalOcean raises $100M in debt as it scales toward revenue of $300M
I have been dreaming of running my own heroku like interface on a DO droplet. Just for small sites, side projects and such.

With heroku you need to pay to keep things running, though sadly with DO you need to do a lot of sysadmin work to keep things running.

serverQuestion··on DisplayPort and 4K
you mention using macOS keybinds with linux. have you found a way to set everything to macOS keybindings? it's super frustrating to relearn every keyboard shortcut and terminals not supporting it fully
serverQuestion··on On Design Thinking
I've also studied interaction design and service design. In my experience the conflict between what a user/designer wants and what the business wants are so completely different it's just frustrating to work in projects like that.

Getting everyone onboard every time, when they are only looking for you to solve their problem the way they want it solved is just horrible.

serverQuestion··on Using Standard HTML (1997)
one of the difficult things is extracting and reusing data inside of html documents. So after you've written the html file it's done, you can't reuse it in a different page, no api nothing. let's day you want to reorder / filter a list it's impossible
