The problem I see is that tech is doing the market-savvy thing of moving from features to solutions. We had enabling technologies that people were expected to learn to use in combination, like tools in a toolbox. Files were generic containers that could hold different things and clustered into projects in "folders" and manipulated by specialty tools.

But the new way is exemplified by iOS. You buy pre-packaged "solutions" that keep your data...somewhere...safe, presumably, and away from you so you don't screw it up. If it's something you should be doing, there will be "an app for that" that you can buy, so don't worry your pretty head. If we gave you "tools", you'd just hurt yourself. Why not stop worrying and buy something nice. We have songs, we have shows...you can send a funny animoji to all of your friends. Good times. You look awesome. You're welcome.

And for market success, they seem to be right, although they're creating a situation where, if you don't have to learn to use a toolbox of specialized tools in customized combinations, you'll never learn how and really WILL need to rely entirely on pre-built "complete solutions".
Look at ASVS v4 in the context of this subthread about password storage. ASVS provides a list of approved password hashes (or rather, borrows one from an external source), then makes a recommendation about salt size (?!), and concludes by saying applications should run the password hash twice, once with a salt that is a secret key, which (1) is a silly, broken recommendation and (2) isn't a norm in application security at all, but rather is fan service for some random contributor who believes this is a good idea. Why would you trust ASVS?
What? Have you ever graded written papers? Have you ever seen a paper graded by a good teacher?

We’re not talking about pages of written commentary here. The most “effective and efficient” approach involves circling words or phrases, underlining sentences, writing arrows from one part to another, scribbling some wavy lines in the margin, writing a few words here or there, ...

There is a very limited amount of time available to work through each student’s work. The point is not to entirely rewrite the paper for the student, or explain every problem with the paper in detail. The point is to highlight what the student did well, highlight the parts that make no sense, and give the student a few pieces of quick feedback so they can revise their paper or do a better job next time.

A colored pen on a black-on-white printed copy is much more “effective and efficient” (and “fantastically less work”) than electronic tools prominently involving a keyboard.

https://github.com/huggingface/transformers (was) based on PyTorch, so they originally had lot of the models like gpt2-small. Because of that influence, PyTorch was probably going to win there.

The one con about TF Serve (TFX) is packaging the entire model into the container (so that ends up being 3gb?+). This was a couple of months ago, so I might be wrong by now ... It was an area I wasn't very confident I could do, TF Serve is really new, so there aren't many guides (and many were already out of date).
It's also nowhere near as easy to distribute these games compared to Flash. All you needed with Flash was the swf and as long as you had a flash player then it would work.
The biggest would be to find an internship in college, preferably one for junior year and one for senior year. Now that I'm in the workforce I see driven young individuals getting internships in the companies I work at, that I was too shy to apply to and didn't see myself worthy of.

Then use that internship to find out what I love to do and use that to start a career doing that.
That intermediate step doesn't get around the license.
It decomposes to CO2 and water vapor over about 10 years. The more methane we pump out, the longer decomp takes because there are fewer atmospheric hydroxyl radicals to drive the reaction.

The methane cycle I'm familiar with is related to things dying and getting buried underground or in the ocean. I don't think there is any comparable process to how photosynthesis consumes CO2. There are methanogen bacteria who consume it, but that's probably not a globally scalable solution. I think it would be cheaper just to capture and store it.
Depending on area of course, but usually a grocer or supermarket is much closer, meaning that more frequent and smaller trips aren't an issue and mean you often have fresher produce to work with.

You can make it so your picture on LinkedIn is only viewable by people who are connected with you. I do agree that people should be cautious about what they post/share online however.
The bad thing about being "creative" on the web is it not being obvious how to use your site. I remember back in the day a lot of website using Flash only that were like this.
How much time have we all wasted reading threads that consisted mostly of folks arguing past one another, because each participant misunderstood what the other was trying to say?

I used Usenet during the 1990s, and communication was much easier, because grammar usage was much more uniform(1)(2)

(1)Changes in the rules of grammar aren't the primary problem, IMHO. The problem is folks who don't follow any rules at all; rather, they simply string together word sequences that sound familiar.

(2)I sympathize with young folks today who don't have a good grasp of grammar. Most of my education came from reading newspapers and magazines, which still employed expert editors when I was growing up.
You should be careful about letting a reasonable aversion to hipsterism become a tic. There's nothing sanctimonious about finding wholegrain sourdough bread tasty and processed bread flavorless (and it is; there's a reason the bread you buy has honey, vinegar, buttermilk and a bunch of other ingredients).

LinkedIn may be the author of the compilation because they curate the database by removing fake profiles and encouraging users to complete their profiles. Also, the graph of connections between profiles may constitute a non-trivial organization method which takes the database out of the trivially-organized databases which were held uncopyrightable in the past. (e.g., Feist v. Rural[0])

In any case, this decision was mostly about upholding the lower court's granting of an order preventing LinkedIn from blocking hiQ's scrapers for the duration of the lawsuit. HiQ could still lose on the copyright questions or other issues.

Age. 30 years ago I would do a half or almost whole loaf with the butter and sweet tea. At 47 that couple of thick slices amounting to the quarter loaf does it.

Wrt. bread making - from my short summer stint at a bakery in a remote village in USSR back then (these days you'd call it a craftsman/artisanal given what and how it was done there) - good bread takes less sugar and more time to rise like 12 hours. Industrial quickrise - 2 hours with a lot of added sugar - is in my view one of the major factors behind the current onslaught of GI, diabetes and autoimmunes.

Do you think there's a format which is better suited to sharing data stories?
As a former Flash dev that worked through those glory days, I tend to agree. The format was just a lot more open and less restrictive in what you could do - especially compared with the early web. We built a lot of different things with it, including games and animations.

Contrast that with the first pure HTML sites I created, which were built with tables and frames. I shudder thinking back at some of those sites, which were an absolute clusterfuck of nested tables. Flash was like a playground compared to the restrictive environment of building in HTML and CSS in those days, and it seemed like every client project I worked on was very different in its function and UX.

Fast-forward to today, and even with what we can do with modern web technologies, if you look at many sites these days, they're all pretty much the same - especially if they're sales sites. They all use a very familiar cookie-cutter style format. You know the sites I'm talking about; top nav bar, hero image with a wanky quote, 3-block row outlining the nifty features, a call-to-action button etc.

Don't get me wrong, I've seen some beautiful sites come about in the post-Flash era, and some pretty nifty effects (parallax movement seemed to gain a lot of popularity for a time). I think that modern web design really just shows how far we've come in terms of optimisation.

And there's nothing wrong with that. Most of this has come about because we've all spent collective time and effort to get here and discovered what works best for users (in most cases) what converts sales the easiest, etc. It's a culmination of the evolution of tooling, frameworks, boilerplates and various styles we've all built with along the way that continues to evolve.

We know through other mediums and media that users like familiarity (The Mere-exposure effect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mere-exposure_effect), and so, the web ends up all looking the same as well because more familiarity equals fewer barriers and distractions and hopefully more sales/conversions/eyeballs.
Thanks, I appreciate your perspective on that.

I don't believe that my points contradict each other. So I'm going to address that part of your post, to avoid any confusion. But I think the rest of your argument is great, I just want to explain myself a bit better.

For starters, simpler writing can indeed be more unclear (because it's less precise, as discussed). So "simpler, but unclear" isn't contradictory in that sense. In this case the lack of clarity comes from a mismatch in the shared understanding between the writer and the reader. The more "simple" a sentence, the easier it is to misunderstand (to a point, and with exceptions).

And with respect to idioms, I would say that "uses idioms" does not convey the same idea as "idiomatic." By "idioms" I refer to reasoning by a shared analogy. A random example is the idiom, "Like water off a duck's back." It conveys meaning by analogy. This is usually less precise than using a direct description ("He didn't seem to care at all.") Sort of a dumb example, but I hope it makes sense.

Finally, about jargon -- by definition jargon is not part of shared vocabulary outside of a certain field of expertise. I believe a lot of our most precise words, which previously were common usage, are now becoming jargon. This is fine for experts but it leaves non-experts with a paucity of words to express their ideas in novel domains.

(Once again, this is just my personal impressions, not based on studies or anything. So, don't take it too seriously!)
iOS has separate region and language settings. Quick look at Apple docs suggests that this is the former.
How could it be otherwise? Would my opinion be more credible if I hadn't put my advice into action?
Hi Max :) Huge fan!

> His sentence was vacated after 13 months due to a technicality of the venue; that judge did not address the substantive question on the legality of the site access

So the way the American legal system works is:

if(venue == correct && facts == bad) {
guilty();
} else {
not_guilty();
}

If the venue is not correct, the facts of the case are not evaluated. If you go read some lawsuits, you'll see that the first page or two is an argument about why the judge reading it is the correct judge to read it.

Go ahead, nobody is stopping you.
It is a fair point, but I suspect the methane from shale is way way older than the permafrost methane. My understanding is that the carbon isotope half life is ~5000 years, so after 50,000 years it is 0.1% of its starting level and becomes useless for determining age.

According to this table:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permafrost#Base_depth

the first 460m of permafrost depth have formed over the past 35,000 years. The permafrost that is thawing now and releasing CO2 has been formed during that period. There is deeper permafrost which may be much older, but that isn't thawing now and releasing CO2.
I'm just starting out with building a virtual workstation system for myself with Eclipse Che. My home desktop has always been much more powerful than my laptop so I've always thought it would be ideal to have mainframe style development. I learned about Che 7 this week and figured that it was worth a shot. Using containers for everything sounds like an interesting idea to try out too!

Surprisingly (at least to me), there are some really big companies like Microsoft, IBM/RedHat, and others pushing this workflow. The editor is supposed to basically be VSCode in browser and compatible with most extensions.

I'm using my RPi as a jump box and have some commands to turn on my home desktop + mount the file system and that kind of stuff when connecting. I've used it in the past and it's worked nicely.

I got k8s running but got blocked by some bugs when installing Che. Looks neat though. It would be cool to have a 2007 macbook with the computing power of a 2990WX workstation :).
Literally everything about animate.
It is hugely bloated and awful to use and crash prone. It takes upwards of 30 seconds to save a file. It has two different kinds of tween to support backwards compatibility. And the "HTML" export is a garbage fire.
Flash used a form of vector graphics that were incompatible with svgs.

Adobe has been trying to maintain backwards compatibility with flash (because most studios were still using the last version macromedia put out over 10 years ago) So adobe animate was always doomed to try and please everyone and end up pissing everyone off.
Stopping fracking would definitely stop leaks in the process.

I believe submodules track specific branches.
It's called OpenFL[1] and it is exactly that! Supports canvas and WebGL, as well as a whole bunch of native targets too. This is a reimplementation of the Flash API in the Haxe programming language.

And ruffle-rs[2] is a reimplemenation of the flash player itself in Rust. (So you'd still be using ActionScript for authoring)

My feet are fairly flat and doing basic deadlifts helped move my posture from knees rolling in, toes gripping the floor to my feet resting along the edges of the foot, up to the ball of the foot and my knees straightening out. It helps the lower back and the strain in neck muscles too.

Standing desks are a significant change. I got a small amount of swollen ankles the first day of standing for hours. But it works now.
Sounds about right. Modern technology: working hard to replicate what we had 20+ years ago.
I made games in flash for over a decade and miss the ease of dropping an experimental game idea onto the web where everyone could enjoy it. If you had a free weekend, you could release a game to 99% of the internet.

JavaScript game libs simply aren't as featureful, even the ones promising the scenegraph API. They don't work as well cross platform (by the end of that decade I had one codebase which could deploy to web, iOS, and Android); and that's where the audience has headed.

I hope this book spends some time on flash's contribution to video game design as well as web design.

Regardless of how much we fuck up Earth it would still be more hospitable than Mars.

If we have the technology to terraform Mars then we will have the technology to geoengineer earth back to a more hospitable state.

This isn’t an argument to continue to fuck up the planet but terraforming Mars is about as feasible as interstellar travel at this point in time and likely will be so for the next 5 generations if not longer.

Ironically the most realistic part of the Expanse is that Mars despite being settled by millions of people is still a lifeless rock outside of the domes people live in.

I gave up on Amazon once I wasn't able to buy the replaceable toothbrush heads for my electric toothbrush. Try ordering the name brand oral-b ones and see what shows up (in my case, cheap Chinese knockoffs that lasted about a week instead of however many weeks they're supposed to).

I honestly miss being able to go to a unique store to buy things - that way you could look at what you were actually buying and (maybe!) find something better for what you're trying to do.
I do not have experience with pure Flash but with Flex4 that is a powerful GUI for applications. I can share here what I miss from those days:

- you had types, performance was important so you had generic types like Vector , the code was compiled and it was really fast

- there were built-in efficient GUI widgets, you could have a list or table connected to a data provider with tousends of items but the components were smart and only created enough UI widgets as needed to render, where in HTML you either have to create a LI element for all your 10000 elements, create pagination(is not built in), create infinite scrolling(not built-in)

- it was super easy to customize or extend the provided things if you needed , as an example in HTML look at the <select> it is not customizable, everyone has to implement it's own using divs, css and js , but everyone gets it wrong in the corner case(you have issues where the dropdown pops outside the screen, missing events, hell even youtube search box sometimes breaks and the dropdown popup remains stuck open, so even Google engineerscan't create a working dropdown component

- performance, remember when a blinking cursor was causing an electron editor to use a lot of resources , the issue with web is that was designed in rush for showing documents.

- layouting components was super easy , theming was easy - with css in large old projects there are so many issues( I know people use less but this is not standard )

I have some solutions too, browsers need to provide more powerful components, if we want to do RIAs or desktop apps then we need the same components that desktop toolkits offer with the same customization. Other issue I seen was in a project where the devs ahd to import a third party library because the scrollbars can't be themed in all browsers , I am not refering to the right side of the browser ones(I know sme people hate if you change those) but scrollbars on a list or dropdown component. So you have projects where you import 1 lib for scrollbars, 1 lib for modals, 1 for fancy buttons and inputs, 1 for drag and drop, 1 for calendar widgets, 1 for dropdown that allows you to have icon + text, and of course a framework like angular or react . Browsers should check what developers need the most and add that as standard( ex better dropdowns) you would still have the ability to make your own shit and use your preferred framework
Both of these are true. We're moving towards walled gardens in the cloud, but within these cloud, your "files" are becoming rows in a highly sophisticated database, perhaps in addition to blobs in a highly sophisticated object storage system.
There are some tools in the jupyter ecosystem that are aware of the .ipynb json format & make diffing + version control easier to manage (https://github.com/jupyter/nbdime). Another option is by converting the notebook file to something (.py,.md,.html) that existing git tools are better at working with (https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext, https://github.com/jupyter/nbconvert)
Generally, that is the way it works, but it is foolish to try and understand the legal system like it's software. If the venue is incorrect, the judge may more or less tell them to get lost. That's not the same as "not guilty". A lot of rules are adhered to to make sure that courts don't get gummed up with meaningless cases and to make sure that judges with the appropriate authority handle the appropriate cases.
