This will make bootstrap more attractive and competitive as a framework.

JQuery was one of the most important frameworks in Javascript history. It has enabled us to built real webapps.
However since then differences between browsers shrunk significantly and we learned how to build maintainable and scalable apps in a more declarative fashion (hello React, Angular and friends)
I know you're sarcastic but Bootstrap has been picking up steam recently. The jQuery removal has been in the work since 2017.

If you want faster releases then feel free to submit PRs :)
A nit, but it is important to differentiate between offsite and offline backups. VFEmail did have offsite backups, but they were online, and the attacker reformatted those disks as well.

offsite: prevents against physical damage to a single site.

offline: prevents against network-based attacks.

You should have offline backups and offsite backups, which can be the same, or separate. Eg backup to disk/tape, and send it somewhere for storage, or backup to disk/tape kept offline locally, combined with online backups to a server offsite.
That was an issue, yes. I know basic shortcuts ({ctrl, shift} + arrows, ctrl+backspace) but I assume someone used to Cua editor would know more tricks. I missed actions like:

- select to given character
- select to begging/end of the line/whole line
- select sentence/paragraph/text with the same indentation

I know some of those actions are available with multiple mouse clicks (3 clicks to select paragraph If I recall correctly) but that means you have to use mouse.

Beside this ctrl+f search is not as good as / in Vim. It has no regex support for example (you can open dialog that has option to enable regex but that's more than one shortcut away).

Actions in Cua editor cannot be composed and reused, that's also an issue for me.

Amazon loves being the same because then you can buy the same thing from them that you were buying from someone else.

They are even being investigated for perhaps using 3rd party vendors' sales data on Amazon to decide which products to copy, having released tens of thousands of products already under their own brands. They have even perhaps copied the occasional SaaS hosted on AWS too.

I am still more fond of jQuery's ajax functionality than anything that followed, including the fetch API.
Honestly, I think we should be making our peace with the end of the ecosystems that have nurtured humanity. We're not going to fix it. Try to avoid birthing the next generation, if you can. If you've already had children, as you say, they will pay in their blood for our laziness and stupidity.

>There are cases that I'm all for bashing Google when they don't give the company they're targeting enough time to patch something

While I understand the common ethos of our current culture supports this, has there been analysis if giving what could constitute a second chance to fix security issues leads to less prioritization of security initially? I could definitely see a business deciding to lower their security expenditure since if an issue is found, they will be given a grace window to fix it before the world hears about it. It would still be damaging, but it would be far less since the PR machine could spit out that it was patched before it was announced to the world.

There has to have been some agreement to limit the grace period since people will go live once a reasonable time frame to fix it has passed and they won't be judged negatively if others agree reasonable time was given. So if we won't judge someone for giving only 6 months instead of 3 years, what about the one who gives only 2 weeks instead of 6 months? How do we calculate which of two time frames is better?
You also to have to ensure that the two wallets are not connected to each other by other means, such as feeding them with currency from the same exchange, or revealing the same IP with them to the same merchant, or the like.
I'd like to see a citation that Apple users are more likely to not change settings than average users.

Most people don't enjoy configuring systems and leave most of the defaults most of the time.
> I have a lot more faith in road engineers than individual drivers on determining safe limits.

The road engineers aren't there. The driver is. Also, the road engineers suffer no consequences if the limits are wrong.

> Untrained individuals are pretty crap at this

Perhaps. If so, I think it's because individuals have no voice in determining the limits, and they know the limits are bogus anyway, so they don't view exceeding them as an error, they just view it as a game they're playing vs. the police. In other words, since there is no reward for exercising better individual judgment, and the penalties are unrelated to the quality of an individual's judgment, there is no incentive for individuals to develop better judgment.

> an out-of-town visitor can hardly know that there's a low-visibility hairpin turn coming up.

That's what warning signs are for. There's no need for it to be a speed limit; just a "caution, hairpin turn" sign is enough.

> Removing the perverse revenue incentives of artificially low limits seems like a good step.

The way to remove those incentives is to stop allowing governments to penalize people who have caused no harm. Sure, put up a sign that says that, according to our best qualified road engineers, the maximum safe speed for this road is x. (For bonus points, make the sign programmable so the posted limit can vary with weather conditions, day vs. night, etc.) But don't allow the government to give me a ticket and make me pay a fine just because I exceed speed x. If I cause an accident and it's found that I exceeded speed x, then the government can penalize me--but penalize me because I caused harm (and, if you like, tack on an extra penalty because I ignored the advisory sign and my error of judgment contributed to the harm).
But do enough people want to subscribe to a service that doesn't have any edgy content? (No drug use, no graphic violence, no sex, no political documentaries).

Bootstrap 3 got an update last year, and it is already years old. It may have taken a while but at least it got _something_.
At a previous job, I had this problem as well. A few filter providers block extremely aggressively and are totally unresponsive to requests.

I ended up "routing around" their brokenness by using an email delivery service (search for "email delivery service") for emails that went to domains for whom they provided filtering service.

The one I used ended up being bought by dyn https://dyn.com/email/ - the service worked well several years ago, no idea if they are still good. Amazon has SES (https://aws.amazon.com/ses/). There are quite a few others.
He's not cancelling it, he's calling for a smaller project on the partially built track from Merced to Bakersfield (there's a fair bit in Fresno County).

As someone who drives greater LA to Sacramento about once a month, based on the traffic levels on the 99, no one is clamouring for this. The fact he didn't want to give the $3b+ back to the Feds is just cutting off his nose to spite his face.

Did a small survey last year on this point and discovered that while technology might sound distracting people are actually spending more time reading/viewing stuff they like more lot more than before.

We found that among teens for example very few people read anything from news websites very rarely but almost every single teen had read at least one article in depth on very niche topic that appealed to them. (For example reading about affairs for their favorite pop star). Most teens performed very poorly when they were given 1 hour and asked to prepare a presentation on "any american hero".

I also hate AMP, but I still disagree that downloading an app is better than using the browser (on a slow connection). If I already have the app, great— but I don’t want to download every app on earth “just in case”.

>> Top security engineers

>> Google's elite security team

Is this a paid ad?

The little kid who uncovered the other iOS zero day recently - Why did the media not call him an elite, top security engineer?
Okay. Doesn't change the fact that you can trivially get a refund even days after buying an app on iOS. That basically strikes down the argument that one can't "try" apps on iOS, because you can get refunds and it's easy and they're quite generous with it (from my experience, at least). Steam also doesn't automatically refund you if you uninstall within 2 hours, it's still a great refund experience.
They? Maybe 'they' is just a 'lone developer' who works in his spare time on this b/c he doesn't like bloated Electrons. And maybe it's difficult to work for free... -- If I were him, I'd immediately retract the promise to release as open source. Who knows what happens and if Patreon works out? I feel quite a sense of entitlement here.
This is trivial with zksnarks. And that looks like some form of that idea will become standardized.

Cash has fulfilled this role just fine.
Probably not, they remove it because they drop IE support, so they have much less edge-cases to worry about.
I'm not surprised to hear this.

I run a game server hosting company (primarily for Ark: Survival Evolved) and I buy lots of ads. My best sources for ads are Google and Bing, both of which have excellent conversion rates for relevant search phrases-- in other words, people who click the ads are very likely to ending up signing up for a paid plan with my company.

The reddit ads are very different. I bought ads on relevant subreddits and plenty of people clicked them, but no one ever signed up. After wasting thousands of dollars on this, I stopped advertising on reddit.
If you truly knew what you were doing when you started, then everything would work the first time you tried it. Since that's not the case, you're clearly making mistakes, so why wait until running it to find mistakes when you could find them before even running the program?

Think of it this way: you only ran it 10 times, are you sure you found all the bugs? What about 11 times? Are you sure you found all the problems? Numerically speaking, if the first 9 attempts didn't work, then 90% of the time you ran it after coding, it was still broken. The fact that the program was broken a majority of the time you developed it should make you skeptical if it's even "correct' after you've determined it to be "finished". I understand you picked random examples, but this is still relevant.

It seems to me like you're arguing a common argument about picking tools which is "I've always done it this way, and it works for me, so why look for anything better?"
> since the 55 mph rule was arbitrarily selected in the early 1970s

It was selected in 1974 in response to the 1973 oil crisis in the hope of reducing oil consumption. 55 was intended as a speed that delivers best mpg for typical 1970s vehicles.
I think Apple has the power to establish a competitor - After all most searches are simple and DuckDuckGo well satisfies those. I stil seek out Google every once in a while, but how many users will go through the trouble to change the default, especially when you have !g?.

My next question is even if they do lose on search, with all their very successful "side" businesses, how much would it impact them at this point?
This became so common that "An update on ${employee_name}" was a humorous way inside Google to announce one's departure. Or to joke about it when merely switching teams.

Searching for ["an update on" Google] and ignoring other sites gives results such as

https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2019/01/an-update-on-googl...

While the discontinued product that is still most commonly brought up, Reader, had a quite different headline, probably because that day was a carnage:

https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-second-spring-of-c...

But you can also find "An update on" for neutral or positive posts.

Still, it does have that negative connotation.

I'm referring to EKS here not ECS. EKS doesn't yet enable the PodSecurityPolicy admission controller, so any user that can launch a pod via EKS can root the EKS cluster regardless of RBAC rules. The main ask here is to just find a way to enable PodSecurityPolicy admission controller so that secure multi-user EKS clusters are possible like ECS.

Really? I'd have guessed bootstrap will be phased out completely by CSS grid, which does essentially what bootstrap does...
That's true. They have a perverse incentive to reduce music played time or interaction with their service while still preserving one as a customer. I hadn't thought of that.
If done in a heartbeat. But they'd probably even get funds from Apple to scale.
Do you use Bootstrap?

If yes, what version?

If not, why not? Which alternative do you use?
This is still visual design instead of content driven design. Design is how it works, not what it is supposed to look like when the content has been added after the project has been handed over.

From the tools used in the article - Squarespace - I imagine this is how best to make 'div soup' rather than premium content that has excellent document structure and accessibility built in as a consequence.

If you get document structure right by starting content first and making sure that a story is told (even if it is just a product page) then you can then go from there to the final visual design relatively easily. If you want to change the thing wholesale for different colours then you can. But you have to be working with CSS Grid and CSS variables instead of 'div soup' with trillions of classes to be able to take this more modern content first design approach.

If working content first then you can work on the visuals as you go. For instance you might find that the captions are not always working with images on all device types due to there being too much text. Then you can work on your content to maybe put the captions into a 'details/summary' element that solves that design problem elegantly whilst also improving the document structure. Also, because you are working with real content with real images you can find out what colours work. Because you are merely using CSS variables you can also see what happens when you change the --background-color to Papaya Whip to see if that helps more than the monochrome you started with.

At some time some people in this industry have to get off the div soup and the big up front designs that have to be cast in stone and handed over to developers to 'paint by numbers'.
While it is fair that some of the plugins are problematic, in general the plugin space is fairly easy to traverse. Most plugins take at most 2 steps to install (add to .vimrc, run update command) when using a plugin manager. Those that have external dependencies that take extra work are often packaged for distros. I know YouCompleteMe has an emerge package that bypasses all the setup hassle.
Hmm, is this a recent change?

I mean, I know there have been recent changes in apple's attitude towards enterprise certs, but I've been able to sign internal ad-hoc apps with a developer cert which would last one year (i.e until the provisioning profile expires) with no review.

Granted, you need the unique identifier of the device and it limits you to a certain number per year (100 or 200?), but this still seems different to the situation you are describing.

Fairly sure I did this last year, even. Though admittedly we switched to android at some point, purely because it was too much headache.
Speaking of nasty rhetorical tricks, "personal use" is just a distribution at small scale.

It's just a rhetorical trick that pro-theft people (people who steal the hard earned labor of other people because of entitlement or, perhaps, just devotion to technical pedantry) use to justify their immoral behavior.

The creators of the content intended it to be available for purchase only and distributed it so that only those who pay could listen.

When you violate that intellectual property, you steal from them. You steal their labor, their time, their blood sweat and tears.

I'm always fascinated at the kind of evil it takes to justify this kind of stealing.

Just because they don't want you to have access to their labor doesn't mean you're entitled to it, no matter how many rhetorical tricks like "Personal Use" you use.
Your explanation and the quote you are explaining mean the same thing.
I exactly feel this way. Trying to go remote and break up the monotony. Only way to live as far as I can tell.
Wow. Mentioning "HCJB" brought back a lot of memories. I'll have to check to see if it streams.

What I was thinking of was a time station. It was on the same frequency as WWV, and if the propagation was right you could hear it in Spanish.
I used to do this a lot when I worked at a design firm and the branding/color hadn't been defined. It did help quite a lot at times. But for some clients it caused annoyance/confusion at first.
Yes...What were you expecting then to do? Usually you replace code if you're dropping a dependency. It's one less network request, saves bandwidth and removes obsolete and pretty much unmaintained code (at this point, the jQuery github is as good as dead, unlikely to see major releases any time soon).

Seems to be a sensible approach to me. It's like using native code rather than electron, even if you add more lines, I'm pretty sure the performance gains would be worth while.
> Remember that GPL is a product of the realities around the open source ecosystem when Bill Gates and Steve Balmer where CEOs on Microsoft.

The irony being that formerly FOSS companies are turning to dual licensing, "open core", and similar non-free strategies because it turned out that Gates & Ballmer, y'know, like, actually had a point: you need income in order to keep your business running.

And, by the way, you're wrong anyway: GPLv1 came out in '89 and GPLv2 came out in '91. Microsoft was a relatively minor player at that time; its meteoric rise to dominance didn't begin until a few years later.
That's not what I meant.

If Apple didn't want to push a search engine and take financial advantage of it, it could show a prompt the first time the user opens the browser, asking the user to select the search engine from a list.

But I guess Apple just loves that nice shiny pile of cash too much to give it up!
Lena here: Certainly, other people can do it, but it would be quite an investment for them. Here are some reasons why:

• The on-device tools are still in their infancy, and so it was actually a lot of work for us just to figure out what configuration of framework would work in a production system. For example, we can't use coreml for our iOS framework since it is only supported on iOS 11+ and many apps still support iOS 9+.

• There's very strict model size and performance constraints that require us to really optimize our model. App binary sizes are often tightly controlled in mobile first companies so we don't have much wiggle room in terms of how large our network can be. On top of that, we want the model to run reliably and quickly on phones from 5 years ago (which are still used today), when the hardware was much worse than it is today.

• Getting the training data for the model isn't easy.

• The model needs to be maintained, so any company that tries to do this would need to have a dedicated team on it. Credit card providers are constantly changing the style of cards they make (for example the new Visa Quickread format), and the framework has to be updated to keep up with this.
