Who said that “Don’t be evil” thing?


This is too 2018


Those are the magic words. F*ck SEO, add that and you'll get a couple million page views.


Just use the DNT header and they won't track you.


DNT was a failure that shouldn't be depended on for anything.

Safari has already removed it in version 12.1 (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari_release_not...), so if that's the only opt-out mechanism there's no way for Safari users to make that choice. That probably includes all iOS users, since all iOS browsers just wrap Safari.

I wouldn't be surprised to see other browsers remove it eventually as well. Like Apple says, it ended up doing the exact opposite of what it was supposed to -- almost nobody obeys it anyway, and it hurts the privacy of people that try to use it by contributing an uncommon factor to their browser fingerprint.


This doesn't help the concern from enterprise users that they don't want their self-hosted software to phone home, ever.


Hello! Self-hosted users on EE are currently not affected, we opened an issue here to clarify: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/growth/product/issues/164


"Not yet" is small comfort.


DNT suffers from a lack of trust. I have turned it on by default, but I kind of assume that it's completely ignored.


Am I the only one that cries when seeing non PEP8 compliant Python code? Why do data scientists mistreat Python that way?


You are the only one.


I just had a chat with a friend about another problem of working remote: How to meet people. This gets harder when you can't personally hangout with your colleagues. Mostly when you live in a country different than your own, where they speak another language it can be challenging.

I gave him these tips, but I would appreciate if you share some advice about it:

- Join any kind of sports club or whatever group of people that you share interests with. - I sometimes use Couchsurfing to meet people. The app has something called hangouts that lets you meet people that are close by. - Working from a coworking space could also help. - Joining a language school is another option; you meet people and learn the language at the same time.


These are good ones. Also: Meetups, going to coffee shops, and joining online remote worker communities/Slack channels (although this is just online, not in person). I wfh and go to coffee shops like twice a day.


I'm almost sure this also happens with the translation API. Some days when I try to translate websites I get 403 errors and I have to wait for some time until I can use the feature again.


This article is full of bullshit, prejudgements and false facts. There is probably one nap bar in the whole Spain and he had to add it to the article.
