GRBLDevelopedon Linux by No Starch Press

Julia Evans stuff is great. Really enjoyed her Networking work.

How Linux Works is also very interesting, used to for interview prep as I found some places were asking questions about internals rather than how I go about doing things

You can use Paddle as your payment provider and it will handle VAT for you.

For a small business I would imagine GDPR is pretty much just have a straight forward privacy policy that states your intentions with someone's data. If someone requests their data then send it to them, if they want it deleted then do. I think that GDPR likely doesn't come up for the majority of small business besides a data consent pop up on a homepage.

Rust in the title? Straight to the front page.

Anyone able to explain to me the significance of this? Read the article and ReadME but I don't understand its use case particularly well or why this has shot to the top of the front page

GRBLDevelopedon How do you break into a career in machine learning? (2020)

Funny there's no mention of ML without a PHD. Anyone done that?

GRBLDevelopedon A group of activists got leaf blowers banned in the nation’s capital (2019)

That's interesting about the 2 stroke engine being the issue for pollution.

"In 2014 a study published in Nature Communications found that VOC emissions (a variety of carbon gases that can produce smog and harm human beings) were on average 124 times higher from an idling two-stroke scooter than from a truck or a car"

Though this quote does make me wonder, what about when each vehicle are in transit?

GRBLDevelopedon I Am a Spammer. AMA (2009)

I only get a single quote here with no option to scroll down. I assume there's an article underneath?

'There is a scientific consensus[25][26][27][28][29] that currently available food derived from genetically modified crops poses no greater risk to human health than conventional food.[30][31][32][33][34][35][36]'

GRBLDevelopedon Ice cream in China doesn't melt, even under a flame, sparking controversy

Hermes of ice cream got me interested in their prices, it seems they sell at 4-5 the normal cost of ice cream there.

Its ice creams, which weigh 78 grams each, are usually sold for between 15 and 20 yuan (US$2.34 to US$3.13), four to five times the price.

Funny that another brand could reposition this as a good thing, unmeltable ice cream

GRBLDevelopedon What one executive wishes they could tell employees about return-to-office plans

If they've identified juniors having issues, they should train managers to identify and solve for it. Ask them to come in or set up pair programming/joint work sessions like 'shoulder surfing'.

Tell people it's inappropriate to go to a museum during work or that they're underperforming.

Seems like we've got solutions to these issues

This just in: Message broker creator insists you need message broker. Kidding of course.

I started work and got introduced to BizTalk. My first job revolved around it so I was surprised to move on and find we all just use queues. Reading this was weirdly nostalgic

GRBLDevelopedon Boeing disappointed after China's top three airlines buy 300 Airbus planes

Couldn't this also be due to the bad image of 737 Max planes crashing, price + features, or is there some further evidence that it's political?
