This is correct. I care about user experience far more than any political statement. I love open source because I'm a developer and can work with the codebase but that doesn't hinder my enjoyment of closed source software at all if it provides an excellent user experience. There are way more buckets someone may fall into rather than closed source freedom killer and free software activist.

I would point you to the quote in the article I cite: "'Motor vehicle traffic' deaths in the U.S. in 2013, the most recent full year of data available, totaled 33,804, for a death rate of 10.7 per 100,000, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention." I believe the denominator is confined to drivers. No matter, there are dozens of other good examples to support my point that ordinary activities are much riskier than the levels of risk we talk about in the context of air toxics.

Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin Making Big Spaceflight Announcement Today
Weeks of my life have been wasted working around the incidental complexity of IE6. Yet, it was a very sad day when I heard they're killing off Edge.

This tweetstorm of mine[0] is relevant:

I'm sad they are killing it off. Like really, really, sad. Edge is a feat of engineering. Like operating systems, and other major browsers. These things are rare. And they're way too advanced to just kill off.

I remember IE9 being the very first browser to bet on the web being a gaming platform (not counting Flash here). Chrome was the fastest for documents/GDocs-style apps, but nothing beat IE9 in multimedia performance.

I remember learning about layout thrashing and how it causes re-paint and jank. There was an infinite zoom demo somewhere on the internet that worked by resetting width/height on wheel events. Webkit/Gecko/Presto would render it at like 2 fps. Trident? 60 fps with lots to spare.

Interactive audio, pre Audio API was impossible in all other engines. I remember they had rewritten Cut The Rope in JS, but had to use Flash for audio. Reason was, calling el.play () on a fully loaded <audio> tag was laggy on all browsers. All except IE9 of course.

I remember they did not support 3D transforms. But the 2D stuff would run the smoothest on IE9. No scaling artifacts; no aliased edges; IOW, actually usable in a multimedia setting.

You cannot have interactive content without smooth animation and responsive audio. This vision, of seeing the web as a multimedia platform, was unique to IE. As in, they were the first one actually delivering on it.

In fact, IE9 was so good, the dev team behind it so talented, it only served to show how all that talent had gone to waste all those years between IE6 and 8. (One out of many examples of financial incentive stifling talent and innovation.)

And it wasn't only technical talent either. Their developer outreach program was special. They sponsored a whole bunch of projects, from rewriting popular mobile games in JS, to original web-based experiences, showcasing what had only just then become possible to do on the web.

That outreach program showed that the open web can be more than a static platform of paper-esque documents. Rather it can be a safe medium of interactive content, allowing ever more complex ideas to be communicated. This was powerful, and inspiring.

Back to the technical side, the vast majority of innovations in EdgeHTML will never be incorporated into Blink. The architectures surely are too different. Edge's innovations will simply bitrot in a close-sourced codebase waiting to be EOLed.

I can't imagine how disappointed the team must be. Years of their best work—truly great work—thrown out. Just like that. To my fellow engineers at Edge: You all did an amazing job. And you deserved better.

Last thing I'd say even if obvious: Use Firefox. Contribute to Firefox. Tell your friends to use Firefox. You'd be fighting the monoculture, AND getting the best browsing experience out there.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the feedback. It is on my to do list to make a selector available with a set of syntax highlighting color-schemes so the user can customize the editor. Besides that, I tried to be as neutral as possible on the whole UI identity and colors (or lack of them) trying not to steal attention from the shader being edited.
At my doctor's urging, I've cut out added sugar and switched to a high fiber diet. I eased into it. First I cut out the category of things that are mostly made of sugar: dessert foods, ketchup and many salad dressings, most breakfast cereals. After about a month of that, I additionally cut out things that have sweeteners as an ingredient. This would have been impossible without adding lots of high fiber foods, because most American food has sugar high on its ingredient list. I eat a lot of fresh / frozen fruit and vegetables, rice, nuts, and steel-cut oats now. I use my spice cabinet a whole lot more than I used to. As a result, I feel much healthier and I lost ten pounds without trying and without feelings of hunger.

I'm telling this story because I find my current diet quite delicious and fulfilling, and I want people to know that eating healthier food doesn't have to be about self-denial. This is especially true if you're willing to spend some money on good foods. Nor does it have to be all-or-nothing, ostentatious asceticism. I'll eat a slice of cake at my kids' birthday parties, and I'll eat what's offered me at a friend's house. I probably won't have seconds though, because after mostly abstaining from sugar, I can't handle eating too much of it at a go.
Can you clarify this idea some?

I have used inheritance in a way to make accessing code more seamless and easier for development. But without inheritance, I end up with a lot of boilerplate code, imports, etc...

Doesn't duplication go against the DRY principle? I know you are saying "wrong inheritance", but some people are saying all inheritance is wrong...

Laws in each country are different. In the US that is not just a network rule it is a law. In many other countries they are just rules that can change at any time. Check with your local country's laws as each are different. I would expect that the network's rules are in large part the intersection of the laws in every country they operate in - one set of rules is easier to track than trying to figure out which countries laws might be in effect (with disastrous consequences if they get it wrong).

Don't get me wrong, sometimes the networks rules are stronger than the laws for other reasons. Last I checked in the US the customer was legally out $50 in case of fraud, but all networks reduced it to zero figuring if they were already out potentially a large sum of money they may as well eat the last $50 too for goodwill reasons.

Has our society reached a tipping point, where we're establishing a consensus, correctly or not, that there's a "scientific" way to do nearly everything? Adopting "data-driven approaches" to every industry; optimizing each decision; cargo cult science indeed.

That's more a measure of indirection than of garbage collection.

I have 5 bank accounts and you can see, based on the login method, how modern a banking software is.

There is a ton of potential just not be used at all.

Even without much change at the original banking software layer, putting a modern analysis tool upfront would make a huge difference. Just imagine having a secured mobile app which has limited permissions but allows you to perform a few basic things like checking your balance or transfering small amounts of money.

Or just a web ui which doesn't suck. If it doesn't suck, how about income analysis?

Ridiculous.

The problem is not that you don't know when/where the lifetime will end — that can usually be characterized by a terse "English" description. The problem is that this lifetime is dynamic in nature.

The end of the lifetime of an object may coincide with some user input, for instance.

At this point, either you go back to manual management, with the potential for errors (and for what it's worth, I think manual management is fine in many cases) ... or .... or what, exactly?

Even Rust doesn't solve that problem at all. If your objects can survive outside of a "linear" execution, which is the case in interactive or multi-threaded programs, you're falling back on reference counting — garbage collection.

No one has ever devised a scheme that lets you specify very dynamic lifetimes AND statically checks that no leak can occur.

I'd stake a lot on that being impossible in general, and the best we can hope for being an AI that searches a way to insert the manual memory management calls (mostly, "free" and a minimal set of reference counts) assorted with a proof that this change will not cause any leaks or invalid accesses. We're a long way off that yet.
Then you are wrong
"You don't have to outlaw it, just tax revenue from the undesirable behaviors to dis-incentivize them."

I think a 1 cent per impression ad tax would have a very positive impact on a lot of the internet. It doesn't destroy the advertising industry entirely, because there are still plenty of ads profitable at that point. A lot of the bullshit the advertising industry is subjecting us to isn't about those ads, where the signal is bright and clear and easy to monetize; it's about chasing the long tail and extracting every last ounce of data to make that stuff profitable, heedless of the societal damage it can cause.
To be fair, anything other than M0 (physical cash) is just a number in a table. Banking regulations that ensure ease of access are the only reason other "numbers in tables" are considered part of the money supply.

I cannot overstate how much of a difference it makes to season your food with delicious spices. I think packaged food has so much sugar and salt in it partly because spices are comparatively expensive. If you cook your own food, I highly recommend herbs and spices! (Also some spices, like turmeric for instance, are reputed to have health benefits of their own.)

Based on the final comment in GP post, it's because they have information on all of those mediums. If you've been in computing for a few decades, you'll find dusty floppy disks, zip disks, and the like hiding in weird corners. Having the ability to easily read and move that data can be invaluable.

This is missing the biggest difference between the two, at least according to me.

In composition (and its on-steroid cousin, delegation), the component/delegate can't "call back" into the aggregating object.

Of course, this additional power can be misused, but it's what should inform the choice between inheritance and composition. Use the least powerful thing that will work — so composition if you don't need to call back into the aggregating object.
[disclaimer: I work on Dart team]

Short answer: there are a lot of different editors in the world, but Dart team is not large enough and does not posses necessary expertise to develop top-notch integration with all of them. So it makes sense
to focus on the very popular ones (and both VSCode and IDEA are very popular) and provide very good support for those.

We hope that community can take and support other editors. That is why we provide tools (e.g. dart analyzer which has an LSP wrapper) that make it easy to build Dart plugins for any editor you like to use.

There are plugins for both emacs (https://github.com/bradyt/dart-mode) and vim (https://github.com/dart-lang/dart-vim-plugin), which I think work relatively well, but they are not maintained by the Dart team.

I've been wanting to do a web RSS thing for a while, but my idea has bloated into a full featured RSS reader and blogging Platform. It would also need a search engine, but because of the the size of the project I never got very far with actually implementing it. I need to get better at finding a minimal functioning part and start implementing it, like this search engine does.
Technical enough to understand, but probably not technical enough to build (but maybe was at some point). That's where they need to live. Their job is to align the devs and the roadmap with the business needs, prioritize what bugs to fix, and decide which enhancements are worthwhile. They also need to know when the team is bullshitting them and when a tech design is too complex or simple.

I can imagine a non-technical person could end up in this role and succeed, but someone with a technical background and some business acumen will have a much higher probability of success.

What relevance does your credit score have to day-to-day life in the UK?

As far as I can tell mortgages are dependent on you having OK credit, not good credit. You don't seem to get better rates dependent on your credit score.
