The fact that the master branch CI has a high rate of failure doesn't inspire confidence in the development process.

What about UDT [1]? Several open source libraries exist already.

Maybe you hardly see bugs because you don't test for them.

after all, it worked so well for the TSA security key: https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/27/security-experts-have-clon...

I should have the right to remove embarrassing things I've done 20 years ago when I was a teenager from a public indexer, the same way I can request the phone book to delist my phone number: this does not mean that the phone company has to delete my number, it just cannot be indexed.

A stupid example? just put a "like" on Medium next to an article regarding something that embarrasses you and few days later that article will appear on Google when looking for your name, and then you would love to have the GDPR at your disposal to permanently delete your Medium account.

"Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming" by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway explains how the misinformation about climate change (and other topics) unfolded.

Maybe it could be used to track the certification process for pharmaceuticals or medical software?

The book "Aviation Psychology: Practice and Research" by Klaus-Martin Goeters is an eye opener on the problems that the architects of complex control systems that interface with humans must take into account.

And the kind of problem that MCAS exhibited is clearly explained in the book.

The book doesn't talk only about control system design, but also about training, hiring, etc.

The book "Aviation Psychology: Practice and Research" by Klaus-Martin Goeters explains exactly this kind of situation, when the flight control system and the pilot are not in sync and don't know each other intentions.

OpenSolaris from Sun. It was a joy to use it.

We don't need software to socialize.

Some tasks of our life can be taken over by software, but others should stay with us.

Especially with the advent of AI, engineers are racing to automate everything: from suggesting us new friends, new music, with which dresses we look smart, and so on. Automating everything will cause the atrophying of our skills and we will become a bunch of lonely depressed, smartly dressed users with thousands of virtual friends and perfect music playlists that never deviate from our preferred music.

Automation is fine and dandy, but not for everything.

I always found the "company culture" as a limiting factor: at the end, it tends to build a sect of developers close to any suggestion that doesn't self-enforce the culture that produces them.

"Culture" kind of wants to produce a "family", but a family is not what I'm looking for when I look for a job.

Google analytics has an option to anonymize the IP and remove unique user id from the data collection.

Yes, I agree.

Anyway, the device looks nice and is a step in the right direction to overcome the fear of the parents.

Good luck with your business.

I thought about the walkie-talkie, but I think that all those devices are more of a pacifier for parents than something that keeps the child safe.

If I'd give her the walkie-talkie then my wife would call her every 10 minutes and ask her where is she. Tracking her with a GPS would keep me calm but I don't think it will help my daughter.

The only time I freaked out was when she removed the watch and she didn't come home on time: I went out to look for her and in the meantime, she went home. Realizing that she may go home on another path I went back home and found her watching TV. Honestly I think that those devices are meant to keep the parents calm, not for the sake of the children.

One month ago I started removing the constraints on my 8 years old daughter's outside activity. I just gave a wristwatch with the alarm set before dinner time and told her "when the alarm goes off then come home". I'm against her having a phone.

When she comes home and she tells us what she and her friends did (I don't ask, she just wants to share) it is hilarious and I usually think "It was better if I didn't know this and that". But then I think about the 8 years old version of me "bombing" the toy soldiers together with a friend of mine by spraying alcohol on them and by setting everything on fire, and I relax...
