I'd love to read a "Falsehoods programmers believe about..." post about this!

It's still being investigated by the EU.

> Would only be interesting with Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, etc. support.

Big statement, maybe for you but for plenty people it seems to be interesting enough without those.

> if you take the time to understand what this code does, you’ll learn a surprising amount about WebAssembly!

It's a shame the article mostly teaches about codegolf tricks, and the actual wasm info is left to a single commented code block.

Nonetheless an interesting article about JavaScript quirks though!

“Fits in a tweet” can be safely assumed to mean lots and lots of code golf.

The night trains are great. It's quite comfortable, you get there in the morning allowing for a full day (after dropping off your bags at the hotel) of work/tourism, and I especially hope Nightjet and other night train companies converts all of their trains to the modern mini cabins[0].

They're incredible.

Comfortable and comfortable. It's certainly much better than spending a night on a seat. But most people won't sleep well. It's noisy and either too hot or too cold. The bed is hard, narrow and often too short for tall people.

I have spent many nights on trains in various countries, seats, floor and berth. I will prefer a couchette or sleeper if the price is somewhat reasonable. But I won't live in the expectation to get something comfortable. Just less uncomfortable.

Night ferrys and night trains are my favourite way of travelling when on vacation.

Doesn't work for all of us. I can peacefully fall asleep from the noise of a CFM on an Airbus. On a train, rickety being chucked around all the time and always too hot, nope.

I can do 10h on a plane fine. 3h on a train does me in every time.

I can't sleep in a seat, which rules out aircraft for any reasonable carbon or dollar price.

At least on trains I have a chance. Googling how the climate controlled worked before my previous trip helped, but that followed a hot journey.

You don't need to delete data instantly, you just need to do it within a reasonable timeframe. So batching data deletion requests and running a clear out once a week should be fine.

You may even be okay to just reply to the user that you've deleted all active copies of the data and it'll be fully gone when your backups expire in 30 days.

IANAL tho.

Do you (or anyone) have suggestions on higher quality ethical discussions on this topic? I've found it hard to find these, but I love reading these perspectives and dissections.

If you buy a famous painting as an investment, I'd assume you have enough money to cover the taxes without having to auction it.

Accurately valuing the painting every year is definitely very difficult.

The same argument doesn't necessarily go for a farmer's farmland. The zoning could of course be calculated into the land value. But I'm unsure if farming economics allow for paying the taxes on those unrealized gains

For what it's worth, French is also controlled by speakers. The pompous authority is just lagging behind.

There is not authority for french, it's a myth.

The Académie has no authority whatsoever, it's little more than a club for writers. The Education Ministry has authority for school programs and what is accepted in French language classes, but only in France. It only ever allows new uses, never forbids previously allowed things.

The OQLF (and French language Ministry) has a broader authority within Québec, but only for Québec.

The Ministry of Culture has some authority within the Brussels-Wallonia federation but it's quite limited.

No idea what it's like in Switzerland.

But there is no global authority for the French language (unlike German or Dutch for example). The language evolves by consensus.

It's a brand name, for everyone's context.
