I see games that are only for 1 OS. And most of the games won't behave the same way running on AMD than on NVIDIA. Also, most of the games require at least XYZ version of DirectX. So, yeah, I'd say your argument is kind of flawed.

And sure, I'll do whatever I want, or whatever my limited time allows me to do. And if that means supporting only the browser with major quota (like games running only on Windows, because that's what has major quota; using your argument), so be it.

TLDR: After programming in Scala and Haskell for a while, the author has become increasingly nervous and uncertain when programming in dynamic languages like Ruby and Clojure. The author takes his own personal experience with this unpleasant sensation to mean that the era of languages like Ruby, Python, and JavaScript is ending and soon we’ll all be programming happily in Haskell... wait what?

Meanwhile the world continues on as it ever has: individual languages go through their life cycles and change and grow and fade and they each have their own strengths and weaknesses and fans and detractors, and through it all Haskell continues not to catch on.

Protonmail has been a huge disappointment personally. It took days of trying to get my email in over the IMAP bridge, and now it still has weird spazzes where it will suddenly decide to redownload all my 30k emails, effectively making all inbound mail wait for over a day while my laptop fans fire at full speed.

On top of that, the mobile app is atrocious. It crashes at a drop of a hat, doesn't autosave drafts, and doesn't even do threading. It also makes terrible use of space, and has a permanent upsell ad in the sidebar, pushing my folders offscreen. Someone actually approved this design...

I guess for those weirdos who can live with a webmail client it's servicable, but it's an embarrassment that they've been at it this long, and this is the state of their offering.
Very big yes! No doubt Igor deserves the majority of the honour for Nginx, but volunteer contributors were a big part earlier on, both in patches, investigations and community support.

Search through the change log for "thanks to" http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES and you'll see a lot of contributions. Two people who stand out as frequent contributors are Piotr Sikora and Maxim Dounin (who went on to actually work at Nginx!).

And this does not show the mailing list discussions and bug investigations or the documentation maintained by the community in the early days.

In general pilots are very smart. In the case of AF447, they were not so good. Airbus and Boeing are building smarter engines to help pilots. This seems like a good idea. The problem is the illusion that a smarter aircraft requires less training for the pilots. IMHO, it is the opposite, when the aircraft is complex, pilots need more training to assimilate all the subtelities of their behaviour.

Recently, I have discussed about the STCA with an ATC. In approach, when aircraft are turning, there are often alerts that are to be ignored. They could easily be filtered out by software, but controllers prefer a simpler and more predictable system even if it causes false alarms. Maybe aircrafts are becoming too smart and pilots not enough trained.
I switched about a month ago and I honestly couldn't tell a difference. The only thing people have to get over with Firefox is the browser controls and settings.

I don't agree at all. While the large majority does not need the scalability it offers, it can benefit from all the other stuff applying the 'best practices' offers. The problem is - that many people do not stick to the best practices and do not know how to build containerised applications.

Implementing the whole "DevOps" idea just becomes a whole lot easier when developers don't even have the concept of their snowflake server anymore. And yes - k8s has a ton of overhead and is pretty complex to get into at first, but it all makes sense. There are many points that could be criticised about it, it's far from perfect, but having a standardised way of deploying whatever application has been a massive game changer in the development environments I've been thrown in.

Source/disclaimer: I'm a consultant that has seen quite a few k8s/openshift fuckups and success stories, both on large and small scale.

A standard is whatever goes into https://html.spec.whatwg.org . Period.

CSS Flex is a standard. If Konqueror, Firefox, Edge, or whatever other browser doesn't support it (I know they support it now, but that wasn't the case 2 or 3 years ago), it's not any of my business. I'll keep using Flex because it's an accepted standard. And my webpages will work on any browser that supports that standard. If that means that my website works only on Webkit-based browsers, well, then that's really not up to me to fix, isn't it? That is something that the people behind other browsers should fix, by implementing "Flex".
Thanks Microsoft for all those great times downloading other browsers.

Kind of like when Google decided to ship a partial Shadow DOM polyfill to production that just so happened to make YouTube load 5x slower in browsers that weren't Chrome. https://twitter.com/cpeterso/status/1021626510296285185

Polyfills aren't a panacea, and we shouldn't blindly excuse anti-competitive behavior or attempts to monopolize the direction of an otherwise open platform that we all share and depend on.

You're obviously correct about the problem, and I don't think anyone is denying that targeting Chrome only is a lot easier than targeting "works with all browsers". The point is that if 'we' want to call ourselves "web developers" then we probably should be doing things the "hard and slow way, that works with all browsers".

I'm very used to people around me gathering up acres of leaves to burn.

Your argument is exactly the same as what's used by climate change deniers. America has forests, yeah. But half the country is dedicated to agriculture and towns. A lot of the untouched land is fairly mountainous or lacking in deciduous trees, i.e., not great territory for worms and insects.

It's bizarre how people still deny obvious human actions having affects on populations of the little creatures below us. We know that their populations are dropping faster every year. Spraying poison and depriving the ground of nutrients are pretty strong candidates for causes.

What web developers should be doing is testing for features, not UA-sniffing. In this case, to the extent known, it appears that Skype for "web" functions on Firefox and Safari without any issues, if you change the UA. (It would also be nice if web sites provided graceful degradation if features are not available, but that doesn't even appear to be necessary here.)

Also, as others have pointed out, do you really want to live with a Chrome-only monopoly? For instance, do you value having a full-featured Adblocker? Recently, Chrome was considering withdrawing some of the extension APIs needed for one (they've since partially, though AFAIK not completely backtracked). I won't pretend to have an insight into Google's internal politics, but I think it's plausible that the existence of a privacy-friendly alternative such as Firefox (apart from obviously being valuable in itself for its users) discourages Google from being too privacy-hostile for fear of users eventually getting fed up and switching (or it provides an argument for the Google engineers, the vast majority of whom want to be user-friendly, for resisting introducing more egregious privacy violations).

But vendors would still have your data, still be able to trade that data with other vendors, would still build profiles on you and be able to track and predict your behavior to some degree.

You can't have effective advertising on the web without tracking. Advertising only works when the advertiser knows with some degree of certainty that an ad is being viewed, how often and if by demographics they find meaningful. The existence of targeted advertising presupposes the existence of a functioning apparatus of surveillance and psychological influence.

Some companies like to practice security through obscurity. So you might be worried that someone trying to exploit the system would have an easier time testing effective exploits.

Another thing is the code itself, you don't want competitors seeing your implementation if you feel that it gives your company an advantage over others. There may be data structures or algorithms that are internal company knowledge only and defined in the code.

Lots of great technical discussion about MCAS and potential improvements in here.

I think the bigger issue though that needs to be addressed is the certification and training process. What factors, other than the obvious engineering factors, were driving the design process? Why were those factors allowed to also influence the training administered to pilots? After the Lion Air crash the response from US pilots unions seemed to speak volumes. Pilots were not informed of this system on their new aircraft and as such were treating the aircraft the same as all other aircraft falling under the 737NG type rating.

Airlines and Boeing worked together to minimize training costs to help the aircraft sell easier and as a result critical systems knowledge was left out. Knowledge that likely could have saved Lion Air.
* in the most superficial way possible.

I mean, the reason why people don’t work at banks is because:

- processes for change are onerous

- heavy focus on maintenance

- teams have non-uniform quality

- politics

- ...

None of which can be solved by furniture placement.

I doubt it.
>The down side is that it made games super hardware-dependent

Slightly off-topic, but: it was the most important upside - the game could conceivably be optimized for the characteristics of the controller(s), and in some cases, display (hello, Nintendo DS).

Now that cross-platform portability is the name of the game, most games tend to have bland control schemas, pretty much the lowest common denominator of (XBOne, PS4, PC with mouse and keyboard). Playability suffers. Granted, there are still some hold-overs, among them flight sims, but that's mor of a niche thing.

But by and large, we're in bear part of the cycle of game control innovation.
So, they're free riding on NPM and threatening it with lawyers. Seems legit.
> It's not as simple as laziness.

> Within our current economic system, any country that will try to _really_ do something will face severe recession.

I respectfully disagree. From my experience, it's quite simply a matter of laziness and weak, shortsighted people.

I've worked in my industry (cargo ship design) for 18 years. Most ships operate on straight-up large diesel engines (20-30MW+ installed power) burning low quality high-sulfer diesel. Multiply that by many ships per class operating virtually continuously for 40-50 years, and you've just dumped an enormous amount of carbon into the atmosphere.

Because ship operators (government and commercial) won't curb emissions on their own, because they THINK it costs more (and it can over the 10 years they'll be in their position of leadership), the International Maritime Organization (IMO) imposes emission regulations, which is forcing ship owners to add exhaust scrubbers, SCRs, etc. However, use of these are only imposed in Emission Control Areas (ECA's near coastlines).

The truth is that with very little ingenuity, you can transition to a dual fuel LNG powered diesel plants (with no Methane slip) to virtually quash NOx and SOx emissions. Yes it's harder (i.e. don't be lazy), and yes in costs more up front (i.e. don't be weak/shortsighted), buts it's achievable even if you aren't forced to do it. On top of that, you can add simple smart controllers to your plant and hotel services, and make other adjustments to the hull form/propeller to improve ship energy efficiency 10% or more.

My engineering team has implemented similar measures simply by telling leadership that this is how the plant needs to be designed. Period. They are not going to design the ship themselves. We've largely balanced the cost by minimizing innefficiencies in other areas (e.g. plant/hotel service controls). It just takes a little time and effort rather than taking the easy route and pulling a 40 year-old design off the shelf and calling it a day.

In the long run, the owner will save money in operating costs, and will actually be a more efficient money-making maching due to the decreased time spent refueling and repairing the ship (improved efficiency means less wear on hardware). All while also decreasing pollution.

I don't feel LNG is enough though, and I'm now setting my sights on zero-emission, H2-powered autonomous shipping (and yes, liquid and compressed H2 is a readily available fuel supply at piers; it's been used in many industries for decades). The technology is available, so we're implementing it. It's really not that hard. The hardest part are synthetic (I.e. safety regulators, merchant marine unions who fear loss of jobs).

These barriers have their purpose, but a lot of people are lazy and just toss up their hands saying "it's too hard" or "it costs too much", without doing the little bit of work needed to say, "no, it's not".

The power is in the hands of the engineers who build the world, not regulators or customers who move money around. Sure, without money and legal runway, better "stuff" won't get built, but without engineers, money/laws alone are not enough to build new "stuff".
Iirc the problem was an iced pito tube that gave unreliable airspeed coupled with operating in a different reality (mode of flight control per airbus) coupled with differing inputs from both pilots coupled with the fact that the stall warning was disengaged below a certain airspeed. All too often these crashes are not one single cause but a series of unfortunate events.
