My name is Martijn Arts (martijnarts.com), but I also still go by Totem or TotempaaltJ in places where I haven't been able/bothered to update my username yet.

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

It's still being investigated by the EU.

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!

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.

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

I've mostly used the 1Password CLI. A simple `op inject .env.template > .env` (off the top of my head) and done!
