One of the problems with PNG is that many applications default to full-color-with-alpha-channel as the only save method, even though PNGs can do paletted images just as well as GIF and end up basically the same size. So people look at their PNG files and wonder why they are so big compared to the old GIFs because their application sucks.

Edit: I just tried it with your example:

pnmtopng: 5 colors found

You still have the ability to use an extension that decrypts push notifications on the device when your app is not running.

>A UNNotificationServiceExtension object provides the entry point for a Notification Service app extension, which lets you customize the content of a remote notification before it is delivered to the user. A Notification Service app extension doesn't present any UI of its own. Instead, it is launched on demand when a notification of the appropriate type is delivered to the user’s device. You use this extension to modify the notification’s content or download content related to the extension. For example, you could use the extension to decrypt an encrypted data block or to download images associated with the notification.

They are good at giving lip service but I rarely see anything more than that given. When it comes to budgets and hiring, one might say when it comes to putting their money where their mouth is, then you see how much they actually care.
I don't think someone nitpicking between the definition of the words "framework" and "library" is engaging in this conversation honestly, and I'm pretty sure that your failure to address the "this is but one of hundreds of examples, not all of which are covered by standard libraries in PHP" comment I made is further justification of that belief.
> We have grafted an application platform on top of a document delivery platform.

The problem is this is incredibly valuable and we have no good alternatives. There is simply no better format for deploying applications than the web.
I think the difference is that a lot of people in Italy will go straight for the conspiracy theory. Maybe that's why the anti-vax movement (and chemtrails and a lot of other nonsense) is so strong there.

Presumably it just depends on whether the road is congestion. Roads are essentially non-rivalrous (my use of the road doesn't reduce your ability to use the road), until the road is congested.

Presumably most congested roads are used mostly by cars, so I suppose you could say that "cars cause congestion and congestion makes buses slower." But of course, the congestion also makes the cars slower as well.

I used to own an Audi TTS, which is a fantastic little car, very fun to drive. Then I bought a Model S, which my girlfriend ended up driving. Great acceleration, but between the size and the air suspension, not sporty enough for me. I stuck to the Audi. But every time I drove the Model S (if we went out together, or to keep the battery in condition if she was away), switching back to the Audi felt like traveling back in time. The car shook at idle, it was noisy, it always needed some fluid or other topped off. I took to calling it the clackety-bang machine (hyperbole, it ran great). Eventually I traded it in for a Model 3 Performance. The TTS was the finest internal-combustion engine car I've ever owned, but it felt like a relic. I'll never buy another gas vehicle again.
> Hard to update CSS.

When was the last time you had a go at CSS? So much has changed since 2017. You can chuck out the pre-processor junk and just use CSS variables and CSS Grid. Productivity is 10x.

You can even keep it simple so that a page just loads the CSS it needs instead of some 40,000 line ball of junk.

Same with templates, if you are using CSS Grid you don't need the sea of div containers, you can just use actual content elements from HTML5 and never use a div.

Pseudo-selectors mean you don't need spans. You can get pretty things done without the markup in the document. Once you write HTML this way you wonder what on earth people are doing with these impossible toolchain and impossible HTML web pages. Regular development from about five years ago with frameworks and jQuery nonsense just looks like hacks.

I didn't add anything to my initial argument to make it more persuasive, i merely asked you to tell your arguments in favor of the analogy, as i hoped you may have something more interesting to say than "your thoughts are your thoughts and my thoughts are mine" which is a tautological truth.

I know that when I first learned of movie pass years ago and it was explained to me. It made literally no sense how they'd turn a dollar despite it being explained to me more times than I can count.

Many blood tests can be bought on lifeextension.com. The actual bloodwork will be done by Labcorp or similar.

I've tried it a couple times and it went fine. Once was for my minor daughter and it was a hassle getting the guardian authorization form into LabCorp's system because lifeextension.com is a bit sucky at anything outside the norm.

Don't know if they cover these particular tests, but probably.
Separation of IFE and avionics networks is something FAA actually chastised Boeing over during 787 design, and forced them to fully separate networks not VLAN crap.
* a carbon tax is class warfare as it hits the poor hardest

* Fighting climate change is an ideological lifestyle

* Creating laws to prevent climate change is just people trying to impose their views onto others.

* we will just be able to scrub the atmosphere by 2050

* There's actually some papers that contradict the climate models

* As different models have different predictions, no one can really know how the climate is gonna change

* China is the worst polluter anyways, so it doesn't matter what we do

* Industrialized countries have benefited from carbon fuels the last 200 years. It is our right now, to economically catch up by burning them too

* Between doing nothing and hitting the 2°goal there must be a reasonable middle ground
> Specifically, do experienced PHP programmers stick to a subset of PHP, as in "PHP: The good parts"?

See: https://phptherightway.com

Modern PHP development comes in the form of loading dependencies from Composer/Packagist, rather than offloading a lot of bloat to the language. Lots of things have been deprecated (and even removed, like ext/mcrypt).
>Is that even legal?

Generally no. There is a difference between being unprotected and being open to the public. While in some cases a person can claim to not have known and proving mens rea for such a crime is much harder than if it was protected and the protection had to be bypassed, it isn't impossible.

Such laws are selectively enforced, but being this is Boeing, you can expect it will be enforced on their behalf if they have any desire for it to be (given the current PR issues and the impact this might have, they might let this one go, at least for the time being).
Hi, cto of a fintech. 1.2 m in sales. I own 4%. Other members of mgmt team have about 4% also. Main founder has about 35, investors and option pool own the rest. You should look for about 8% and be part of mgmt team. Anything less and you won’t go the distance even if company is successful. It’s extremely early and extremely risky and you need to be rewarded and motivated accordingly. You will become resentful when others join later and negotiate themselves onto cap table if u don’t get about 8 now. Expect to be diluted. Apart from stock it’s critical you get experience seeing a company scaling.

The real reason is that there’s realistically only downsides for the company. The public doesn’t know what “responsible vulnerability management program” means, but they certainly know what “major vulnerability found in Boeing code” means. So doing that will only mean they gain nothing, or take reputation hits.

Open sourcing the codebase doesn’t mean that all it’s vulnerabilities will be discovered, and it’s certainly not the only way for a company to manage them. Out of all the options that are available, it’s really one of the worst ones from the company’s perspective.

"but one company sells you and the other sells you products"

Those activities aren't mutually exclusive, especially when first one can help the second (example: Win10 telemetry).
>I have no idea how that company will ever earn back my trust

Millions of ongoing safe flights? I dunno. I feel like they're getting savaged (which they deserve... to a point... but we will cross that point I am pretty sure, if we haven't already...)

The thousands (tens of thousands?) of safe flights per day don't make the news. Boeing has been a pioneer in the safest form of transportation in existence. Mentour Pilot (an active 737 pilot on YouTube) goes into detail about why he's not concerned about Boeing (any more than he's concerned about Airbus).

I can also share a story from my (late) father who worked at Boeing from 30 years (and was working at Boeing during the MAX crashes). I asked him why Boeing let the 737-MAX debacle happen. These were a dying man's words (paraphrased): "Boeing wanted to ground the plane after the first 737-MAX crash but the FAA refused until after the second crash. Boeing did not have the authority to unilaterally ground the planes."

Take that for what it's worth.

I think the discussion point was php was too easy and that encouraged new developers or less hardcore developers to adopt it.

Some of the defaults like globals being turned on by default led to security holes. How people were creating sql statements at the time concating strings led to sql injection issues.

There were never any bad parts . There are new features like the spread operator that are newer and not available in earlier versions. I try to stay away from them if I think the application will need to run on older versions but otherwise I feel like I can use any feature.

Web development is complicated because it is no longer web development. It's application development. And nontrivial applications are, by definition, complicated.
I need to turn my apartment into a prison then.

It's incredible really. The Amazon logistics folks weren't able to accurately put packages into the parcel locker system at my apartment, and would constantly just leave them on the counter in the public area. This happened so much so that my apartment revoked their courier number to use the parcel system. The apartment management's idea: instead have them deliver directly to the door of each resident. As you can imagine, this has tanked successful Amazon deliveries to anyone in my apartment complex. I'm probably sitting at about a 66% success rate for getting my packages delivered AT ALL.

On the bright side, their customer service folks have added tons of $5 and $15 credits to my account because of how absolutely terrible their own courier service is at delivering.

I might have agreed the inferiority complex existed in the early 2000s, but I don't see it anymore. Rather I think the negative thoughts go the other way, maybe not inferiority from non-webdevs, but jealousy. You can find n00bs who graduated a coding bootcamp and are now making a significantly larger amount of money doing webdev stuff than a bunch of middle aged guys working on legacy native applications who studied the arcane C++ arts and had to get a BS degree to even get an interview.

I'm playing contrarian here a bit, so excuse the unqualified language. It seems these days anyone who isn't a webdev in some capacity* is probably a dinosaur, inflexible, less well-paid, lacks understanding of complex distributed systems, and in any case is irrelevant in the modern conversations around development. Might makes right, after all, there are vastly more webdevs than non-webdevs and the most valuable software companies make their money from distributed systems interfaced with via web browsers... The notable exception is probably the group of native mobile application developers, but that's only become more and more webdev-like since both the iPhone and Android took over, rather than the reverse.

* Even being back-end only for a back-end whose only front-end is web-based. Yeah I am conflating webdev beyond the post's qualified "front-end developer". But the back-end webdev guys get up to the same overly complicated architecture-astronaut crap we like to complain about the front-end webdev guys getting up to. Don't let me go off on J2EE/JavaEE/Spring.
As someone having sailed on the Mediterranean Sea, I never questioned the comparison of the colour of deep sea with red wine.

This is one aspect of how LexisNexis and Westlaw make their money. Copies of legal instruments in their up-to-date 'as amended' form are often behind a paywall.
The criticism makes no sense to me. jQuery is just there to make things nicer that you'd already be doing. It doesn't need to be an MVC framework.
Because people with degrees brought their backend complication to the frontend when they realized they could only get money as a web developer. Now we're all fucked.
No idea, I contemplated trying to contact others who he had scammed, but I just wanted to be done with it. That little shit wasted way too much of my time. It was less about the money, and more of the point of not letting him win for being such a little arrogant asshole about it.
Are you sure this is true?

It seems -to-edit many more than one or two of this hundred https://www.vault.com/best-companies-to-work-for/law/top-100... are still paying lockstep.

Cravath still lists lockstep raises for years 1-7. Skadden years 1-8. Latham 1-9. Davis Polk 1-6. Etc. Are the firms reporting one thing but actually doing something else?
I expect you to tell me where in that PDF is anything supporting your original statement that "Many of these workers are from the prison industrial complex. Pay is non-existent or abysmally low, AFAIK.". That PDF puts Amazon on one huge list of companies, without saying in what exact manner it has anything to do with "prison-industrial complex" at all. Can you quote anything in that PDF that says anything specific about any connection of Amazon with prison-industrial complex?
I have some somewhat tangential thoughts on what you're saying here at an abstract level. Imagine a depiction of WWII by people 3,000 years from now. Maybe they would depict the Nazis with smart phones? In that scope, maybe a mistake of 60 years is probable.

Understanding the dynamics of our own time is difficult, complicated, and debated upon. Is struggling to really understand the intricacies of a society from thousands of years ago a fool's errand? Or does the study of history suppose that the perspective is actually clarifying?
All the state management stuff seems to be tied up in (=synonymous with) attempts to purify JS frameworks and codebases, as in "purely functional". It's... kinda silly and far removed from either the problem at hand, or the strengths of Javascript (such as they are) much of the time.

Meanwhile objects representing various parts of the view, and plenty of models that don't look much like "modern" JS state management, remain the norm elsewhere, and the sky is not falling. I do not know what to make of it. I go along with it when in that sort of company—when in Rome, and all that—but the evangelism can be pretty funny.

Anyway a bunch of the stuff isn't half as special as you'd think reading about it through the usual channels. Redux? A data cache and a so-so local event bus with somewhat awkward semantics and a few really bad terminology choices thrown in. Whee. There's your "state management". Not that it's useless, but you'd swear it's black magic reading all the blog posts about it.
That is pretty sinister actually. Totally something you could do anywhere people get 'free' wifi.

If you look at the second answer (https://security.stackexchange.com/a/214877/12942) it looks like the GA code Goodreads is using specifically will use http:// instead of https:// if the current page is http-only.

There is a problem with mitigations in web browsers, the only practical problem they are targeting is a hypothetical situation of a 3rd party script running in a sandboxed iframe, but almost none of them do!
