AS3 was definitely a great language to use. Good mix of OOP and functional, typed as much as you wanted it to, good tools. I wasn't really an AS3 developer (only did 2 projects with it) but I remember it very fondly.

That said, I'll never miss Flash. The web became a much better place the day it died. Maybe it could have worked better on mobile devices? I have no idea, but I'm definitely not sad that Apple said no (because that kept it out from my Android phone too)
And we're back to the beginning. If you agree with another reply to my original comment that the problem is the humiliation aspect of this and not the force-feeding of a dog biscuit, that is a disappointing and pathetic threshold for abuse. And explains a lot about our current political climate.
Don't forget about FOMO.
Good point. Maybe it's actually a good risk mitigation. Even if the odds of scaling that far are small, it may be worth it to make sure you're not squashing them further by introducing scaling issues to trigger the moment you have a big break.
That is hilarious and sad.
"From a user perspective we should be careful in talking about “right to use” a particular service because none of us really want to see a service viewed as some sort of “essential facility” by the legal system (that’s a specific word I learned from the DOJ and EU). We want services to be insanely useful, but not regulated like other insanely useful privileges."

He has it backwards. We don't want unregulated services to become "essential facilities" in the first place. Otherwise, when some services so embedded into daily life that it's nearly impossible to do without (e.g. banks, ISPs, in some contexts MS Windows, etc.), refuses to do business with you, you're screwed.

"However, we can vote with our accounts and we can be vocal through many means about what we think as individual users. We can use our marketplace influence to inform and change what we don’t agree with. Product teams can and should be tuned into and act on this feedback. We want the marketplace to work and to respond.

[...]

As a whole our industry tends towards self-determinism and self-regulation yet we find ourselves today with a number of incredibly important platforms that are not keeping up with the basic test of “know it when we see it”."

So he's saying moderation is okay because people can always choose platforms with the kind of moderation they like... but there should be no 'important' platforms that fail to ban the things he doesn't like?

And that 'platforms', i.e. multinational corporations, should all moderate their users, but if a government should moderate (i.e. regulate) them, well, that's a no-no!

"The free market works."

Sometimes, until it doesn't, and you have the choice of 2 ISPs, both of which sell your data to advertisers, or you get blacklisted by one bank, and the blacklist is shared, so suddenly you can use none. Or both desktop CPU manufacturers include hardware backdoors (called management engines).

The best I can gather from this meandering rant is that speech should be moderated, but only by corporations, who should never be held accountable for how they moderate it.
Its a ridiculously masculine discussion but it works the same way when my wife wears formalware dresses or cocktail dresses or whatever they're called.

Simple primate dominance stuff. My work clothes cost maybe $85 at target including the underwear (was that too much information?) because its just work and people don't care much. The point of a dude in a suit is I dropped $85 but he dropped $2K, maybe more. Even cheap off the rack he spent, I donno how much that costs anymore, $200?

Conspicuous consumption, same as the gold watch or womens jewelry or the expensive car. An extremely public display of I can spend money that you don't/can't.
The $80B question: Why are Bitcoin and Ethereum growing so fast?
Correct me if I'm wrong but the Federal government is still trying as much as possible to continue the War on Drugs no matter what the states' laws actually say.
And in this case the OP has provided no evidence or facts.

But my point still remains that people are more productive in the technology they know the best.

> I've been developing on iOS since about 6 months after the App Store became a thing. I've developer dozens of apps and submitted hundreds of updates. I can count on my fingers the number of rejections I've got and there were only one or two that were 'silly' (and those were fixed through a quick appeal).

So,you've pretty much established yourself as an expert in the ecosystem. That actually lends less credence to your counterarguments in my eyes. It's all too easy as an expert to overlook the pain points that you've become accustomed to, or did not notice as they were slowly layered up over the years. In my experience, the expert that rages against the system they use is far more likely to have valid input than the expert that apologizes for it.

That's not to say you're wrong. Just that in my eyes the likelyhood of you being right dropped as you explained how much experience you had (past a certain threshold. Amateurs often don't understand enough to accurately critique as well).
Game are still native. If you take Unity or Unreal engine 4, as of today it compile against metal for the Mac/iOS renderer. So yeah, actually game development is ahead of applications in term of crossplatform dev.
"almost entirely avoided" in this context really means "you absolutely need to buy a Mac but you may not need to use it all the time"
Hardly?

That's… one interesting definition. Have you consider writing websites instead?

Interesting, but there's currently a lot of overlap between competing things that want to inject themselves between service consumers and service producers.

There's API gateway products (Apigee, Kong, etc). Load balancers and proxies of various types. Caching and CDN products. More niche stuff like bot blocking, and this attempt to bundle control and statistics.

It would be nice if some sort of standard pattern emerged, where something was the main orchestrator. At the moment, you can end up with suboptimal stuff. Like a CDN that routes to a cloud API gateway that then routes to a (not geographically close) load balancer, that then hits the actual service.

I'm surprised that Cloudflare, Akamai, and the like haven't offered all of these things at the edge. Some things are service to service, but a fair amount is client to service...putting this stuff closer would help.

I think the author is well aware that your average Joe is not gonna pump out web apps only "because it's just HTML". Saying that Mavo is simple to use can be misleading in this context. Simple compared to what? As developers, behaviour-enriched HTML seems simple to us because we have frontend stacks as an anchor for comparison. In almost all cases, average Joe won't even know about the structure of HTML documents, nor will he have a GitHub account to authorize against.

I think if you take Mavo for what it markets itself as, namely a "new, approachable way to create Web applications", it is great work.
That's completely entrancing. Though I'm a little worried to see what Youtube will recommend me after spewing random videos into my history.
That's true, I remember when Adobe Air first came out for mobile devices and I was completely heartbroken at my game which ran 30 fps on desktop choking at 4fps on the iPhone.

At the time, it was such a great idea (in theory)
One of the best answers here. Initially, if you watch the WWDC keynote, and if you look on how to make "apps" for iPhone Software 1.0, you'll see that Apple had a website to teach you on how to make "webclips". So iPhone app would be mobile site you pin to your springboard and that was it.

The experience was painfully slow and clunky, so by iPhone Software 2.0 they rushed a native SDK. Which you could see it was rushed because it was very lacking and buggy at first.
Invest in the appropriate hardware and mine it.

Another alternative would be to trade goods or altcoins for fractional BTC.

maybe i just dont care

maybe it was intentionally conflated to call CRUD usually crappily-built

maybe i dont subscribe to your nomenclature

maybe you can have well-built crud apps (omg I did it again and this time its an oxymoron), but if you pick out a crud app at random, I'll give you 10:1 odds that its code quality is absolute garbage
The idea that everyone a) knows Javascript/HTML and b) likes Javascript is astonishingly insular. The web is not the world, and you really shouldn't try to crowbar it into literally everything.
>>This is assuming you have a JS/HTML/CSS skillset.

Yeah if it's just Swift/ObjectiveC vs HTML/JS/CSS, then it's a moot point, just pick one.

However it's Swift/ObjectiveC/Java(Andorid) vs HTML/JS/CSS

The latter comparison is not even equivalent.
The only thing I do not like about it is the math functionality is quiet limited.

https://mavo.io/docs/mavoscript/#math-functions

You would have to nest functions to get proper order of operations. Using function names instead of actual symbols. Seems like it would be easier to do something like math(a+b/2) and have it know that whatever was inside that function is math to be parsed.

I might be nitpicking.
sort of, I run a VM on Windows using VMWare workstation, involves binary patching the vmware executable, but hey, cheaper than buying a mac.
Like facebook messenger. It worked great, and then they took it away, and then "request desktop site" still worked fine on larger phones, but I think they've recently done some weird WebGL things that make it impossible to type in any of their input fields without a proper desktop browser.
If the title were literally true it would be a positive mark in favor of Apple, in my opinion. A good many of the paradigms in web development exist, it seems to me, simply because the desire for cheap apps built with cheap labor outpaced the platform on which these cheap apps are built. Whoever thought using the browser as a substitute, psuedo, or virtual OS was a good idea?

In this case, the lumping together of the stats is likely done by westerners. They are trying to dispel the notion that a large amount of the refugees are ISIS fighters in disguise trying to infiltrate the west.

The source stats aren't lumped together. That's the journalist's decision.
Obviously, but how often do they actually do that?
The shorter a command is, the fewer typos can be made. Many times have I typed `git stauts` or `git ocmmit`

Of course, my personal solution instead of aliases was to switch to using SourceTree.
>Put simply, if your users never complain about the performance of your app then it is fast enough

Suppose the users aren't aware that your app is wasting their battery power, because of it's bad performance?

Suppose your users don't complain because ~90% of software is written slow, and so they expect sluggish response. Maybe you could be getting rave reviews about how responsive your app is. Example: saw recently a discussion on reddit where a guy did an Android app in rust, instead of the usual Java/Unity etc. People who tried it out all remarked "wow that was the fastest opening game I've ever clicked on!"

CPU designers have been doing amazing things with hardware, let us not waste it.

I'll be honest and say I haven't bought any in a while, but I always had a lot of luck with Carhartt jeans.

They had inseams 29" and up (maybe 28 but never saw them in store) and they were built to last. I still have some from 15 years ago and except for some color fading, still hang in tough. They also have different styles so you don't have to be stuck into 'dad' jeans!!!
TDP != Power Consumption
So how do largish binaries work in git nowadays? When I last looked (several years ago), the answer was essentially 'dont do it' or 'use this other tool to sort of make it work'. Can I store a few gigs of data (alongside my source code) in git?
"I think a big factor with Americans dressing so casually is that how you dress is no longer a representation of your status in society."

As a thought experiment this might be happening with car ownership right now WRT the glowing gaslighting reports about the success of gig economy car services, and in theory there's no reason it won't happen with real estate. "Casual real estate prices" is an interesting meme to contemplate.

In the really old days, people used to say an ounce of gold is what a professionals suit should cost. It still does cost that much today, centuries later, its just professionals don't wear business suits as much anymore LOL. Or perhaps the era of LARPing is ending and non-professionals are no longer wearing professional suits...
They're just flailing and trying to see what suckers will pay for.
It sounds like the correlation is with dress codes, not necessarily with level of formality. I wonder if having t-shirt and shorts be an official uniform (the world is getting hotter, after all) would provide the same benefits.
I can't find the source code. Anyone else? Looks like a competitor to Grid Engine or LSF.

The major factor is obviously the fear of Microsoft lock-in, I think. Which is reasonable.

The American Revolution is one of the few outliers in history were such revolutionary action actually lead to such good results (relative to more likely possible alternatives). The cost of a revolution is heavy, and generally the outcome is almost certainly as bad or worse as the states of affairs that sparked it.

I'm a hopeless cynic, but I always find a bit of reluctant optimism about the present after reading a bit of history. Especially the dirtier sides of American history, politics, business, social norms, discrimination, etc. When I do, I can't help but conclude we Americans are living in the best version of America that has ever existed, to date, even with all the shit in front of us. And possibly even one of the least divisive and polarized versions of it as well, even though the popular consensus is just the opposite.

Basically, the system actually seems to kind of... sort of... work. No thanks on the revolution.

Well, I really just meant it more in the sense of him being a typical/normal/mainstream/not-unusual American.

But also, yeah: fuck Nathan Myhrvold. He's a smarmy piece of shit whose parasitical exploitation of America's societal weaknesses and dysfunction far outweighs all the modest contributions he's ever made. I hope he trips and falls face-first into one of his large sous-vide contraptions.

(That time, I was denigrating him on purpose.)

Well that depends a lot on the cpu, some have very low power states that can drop the power used to just a watt or two at idle, these are more common in laptops. Server cpu's may not drop down as low, or as quickly, in order to respond quickly to new requests. Before the days of speed stepping, the cpu would use similar power regardless of utilization.

>If the "paranoia" effected is that more white dudes start considering how the things they say and might affect people who are not white dudes and think twice before doing or saying things that might hurt another person, then I think that's working as intended.

I agree with you but please don't single out us "white dudes", we can be victims of harassment and discrimination as well and we benefit from the yes@google list as well as anybody else.

Data table/grid ecosystem (framework agnostic): the “express” of data tables
Sure, but JavaScript is an open standard and you can tune your implementation at will.

Compare that to being at the mercy of a company like Adobe that bundles at least 3 different JavaScript interpreters, a full blown WebKit and who knows what else to Photoshop. All while having a custom made cross platform UI layer across all of their apps.
The target market is people who will pay more for a phone because it doesn't have those things.
What weird world do you live in that "eating a dog biscuit" is "being held accountable" for one's actions?

Imagine you fucked up at your job; brought down the production server or something. And at the next team meeting, your boss brings out a dog bowl with moist dog food in it and tells you to get on the ground and eat it. And if you don't, you'll get demoted.

That's fucked up, right? No different than forcing a kid to eat a dog biscuit because he chatted too much.

Modern disciplinary theory promotes the idea of "natural consequences". If someone were chatty in my classroom, the natural consequence is to separate them from whomever they're chatting. It's both a punishment (can't sit near friends any longer) and solves the problem (not near those kid wants to chat to). Alternatively, if the kid just speaks out a lot and ignores material, start asking them to recap for the class what we just went over. Again, both a punishment (has to do extra work) and solves the problem (forces better attention, redirects attention-seeking behavior). No humiliation needed beyond simply getting called out by the teacher for the disruption – again, a natural consequence.

Public humiliation is especially insidious in multicultural classrooms. While western students may take public humiliation in stride (as me and my co-conspirators did), students from some backgrounds (e.g. east Asian) take public humiliation, especially from an authority figure, extremely harshly, making such disciplinary actions a very poor idea.

We live in a civilized society with lots of behavioral research. No need to resort to arbitrary public humiliation to enforce discipline.
The conceptual [???] as a social construct: a Sokal-style hoax on gender studies
I understand your point but I think length of time developing for the platform (in this specific example) is important. Based on my experience (and I'm willing to bet if there is a large set of data available on rejections it would back me up) 7 rejections is extreme leading me to believe something is up on the authors end, not Apple's. A 5 min glance at the App Store guidelines will prevent 99% of rejections. Skill doesn't really come into avoiding rejections (besides bugs in your code of course).
Me too. Just tried it, it filters out negative numbers.
