Why can't Adobe open source flash? It would be a massive help to people trying to create alternative implementations of flash to keep legacy websites working
The same first impression for me. It's great people with more faith than me have pushed forward and actually I'm still waiting to make the jump. It was very similar with python for scientific computing in the beginning. When I wrote my master thesis in python in 2006 python was completely dwarfed by Matlab. I was more enthusiastic on those days trying new things and also had more time. It is yet to be seen if Julia displaces python but at least it has non zero chance of doing it.

But a branch from master is not a slave by any definition. Whereas a branch is a copy of a master. To be clear, I'm not against them changing this. But it just seems odd to base it on the implication that they meant it as master/slave when it clearly isn't used that way by anyone.

I use Okular for that. It's open-source and present on three major platforms. I really got surprised to find out how feature-rich it is. It has a lot of basic/important features - like highlighting, underlining, strike through, inline notes, pop-up notes, freehand line drawing, inserting shapes (like arrow, rectangle, polygon) etc.

Tip: you actually don't need to install kde toolkit to be able to run Okular on Windows and macOS. Search for nightly builds - I'm on a nightly build and it's pretty solid.

I find it ironic considering the name 'git' could be offensive by itself... I know the term and origin are not meant that way, but I've heard it as a slur on more than one occasion for dim/stupid/retarted etc.

I'm not suggesting they rename the tool or the github site, but I find it funny how sensitive github mgt can be when their entire name is somewhat offensive.
Just a reminder that "Showstopper", about the development of Windows NT, is a great read.
The fact is, as of today, there is NO EVIDENCE that any American life was put in danger by the leaks.

There IS evidence that a LOT of American lives were put in danger by the war crimes and other crimes against humanity committed in their name.

Basically, every single American alive today is in danger as a result of the war crimes for which they are responsible as citizens of the USA. Invading Iraq put every single American in much more dire danger than Wikileaks ever could.

You're just rephrasing the original argument, not rebutting my proposal. So I ask again: why prohibit everyone from taking reasonable risks when it's perfectly feasible to prohibit only high risk investments (i.e., those risks that would be financially ruinous i.e. put the investor on social support)?
The government did prosecute Ellsberg under the Espionage Act. The case was dismissed largely due to prosecutorial misconduct on the government's part, in particular apparently illegal wiretaps of Ellsberg, the records of which had "disappeared."

The famous case that got decided on its merits around the Pentagon Papers was the case against the New York Times and Washington Post, and even that only really narrowly deals with prior restraint and not the actual right to publish the documents (so it left the door open to just prosecuting them after the fact).

Popular opinion is in Ellsberg's corner but the law itself is much trickier. It's another of those things that are often being revealed nowadays as things people believe are bedrock principles of American law that are really more of "conventions," things that just aren't done, until they are.

Assange is an even more interesting case, since his position really puts him more in the position of the Times or Post as a publisher. My recollection is that to a significant extent the case hinges upon characterizing his actions as being more of an active participant in the leaking to try to sidestep the freedom of the press issue to some extent.

We can go on and on about what the real war crime was but for my money it's that this incident was not unusual. We talk about it a lot because some westerners cared about two people who were killed, but these things happened over and over and over and over and over. Maybe someone wants to go litigate those one by one. Or they can zoom out and see that this lax standard for killing people will inevitably lead to many of these incidents, and that going forward with the policy anyway is a war crime reminiscent of free-fire zones in Vietnam.
They 100% killed flash, and thankfully so.

The rest, as happened many times, followed Apple.

The reasons for banning flash were totally on point.

Realise that you will be a translator who is paid to understand the technical enough and the business enough that the project can have a conversation.

As far as tools and methodologies - you have to use what your customers use to communicate. It may just be emails as some of the other commenters have said - have a meeting, write up the notes, email the notes.

Once you are past design stage and into user acceptance test and go live you will need an issue tracking tool. Maybe your customer’s IT department has a help desk system that you can integrate with. Be very cautious of using unsecured SAAS products - only document security issues about your implementation on Google sheets if you are 100% confident of who can see it. I am never that confident and want to work somewhere the customer’s IT security is happy with.

I would recommend the book Flawless Consulting by Peter Block. It’s about management consulting at a more senior level than implementation consulting but the points about agreeing with the customer what they need to provide to you for you to do your job are very valuable.

You need to explain to your customer the consequences of choices. Sales are often happy to say “yes we can build that”. But really the standard configuration takes 1 month to implement, 30 custom features take much longer.

Disclaimer I moved from functional into implementation (accountant into implementing finance systems) which is different from technical into implementation.
I think that you've noticed a very important piece of the puzzle. I spent a decade as a Marine, received quite a bit of training alongside police and other law enforcement. The mandate to "acquire situational control" is inherent throughout that training. A few points that have stuck with me:

Police are expected to acquire control of any situation they are called to through seizing initiative. This means that they don't wait for anyone to take any action, but immediately take verbally or physically dominating actions.

It is nearly impossible to acquire control of US civilians without violating the Constitution or Bill of Rights. Once someone has violated the law, the police are protected in terms of this violation, but because they are trained to acquire immediate control, they most often are violating the rights of people who've broken no laws.
They should not kill innocent people. If a possible criminal gets away as a result, so be it.
Of course, there's a million little compromises in any decision. That doesn't mean you can't draw a line in the sand.
Your argument from first-principles makes sense, but I just don't think a lot of us are comfortable living in a world where disabled people have to pay twice as much (or whatever the additional cost would be) for groceries. The fact that there's no movement to repeal the ADA would suggest most people feel that way.
>Would this be considered anti-competitive today?

No. Apple STILL has insane restrictions on creating your own HTML rendering engine. That is, neither Mozilla, nor Google, nor Microsoft can ship their browsers on iOS. Apple is still getting away with it, and that's probably because they aren't seen as a monopoly by regulators.
So this is a pretty wide-ranging role, although that's not unusual for small companies/startups.

Typically the skillsets for a sales engineer/consultant and a post-sales engineer/implementation consult are overlapping but different.

In many organizations the pre-sales engineers are there to answer technical questions during the sales process - "will this integrate with X?" "can I solve Y problem?" "how many concurrent users does this support?"

The post-sales consulting team is there to actually wire up the integration with X, solve Y problem, and tune the performance to support Z concurrent users.

The challenge with a hybrid role is balancing zooming out to being aware of the strategic "making the sale" parts of being a sales engineer to the super low-level nuts and bolts connecting things together of post-sale consulting.

In either case clear communication and listening are the key skills I would work on. The ability to actually hear what a customer wants, and clearly communicate that you understand what they want and can deliver it is a difference maker on either side of a sale.

I've worked in both roles, both are rewarding and frustrating for their own reasons - good luck!
A lot of people are missing the point here.

Regardless of why it's called master, the term bothers some people quite a bit and the cost to use a different term is trivial.

There is a small cost to updating existing projects, but for new projects, the cost to use a different term is zero. In return you make your workplace less hostile to some of your co-workers (or potential co-workers). This should be an easy decision.
Does anyone know a VC similar to Indie however that doesn't convert to equity if more funding occurs from another party? Give me $100k and sure I'll pay you back $300k, however let me use that $100k to see how much more valuable I can make my company and therefore leverage its new metrics including revenues.

These current models don't only want the icing (their returns on initial investment) but they want to eat their cake too; they're currently doing this because they can get away with it because their current competition, traditional VCs, is far worse - but once a new competitor comes in that only wants the icing but not the cake from the transaction, they'll lose out on potentially a lot of this deal flow.

Proprietary is exactly the problem here. Your work can die at the whim of a corporation.

It gets even worse with product activation.

Even if something is proprietary but without activation, you can sort of preserve it. I can spin up an old version of WordStar in MS-DOS on my computer, and open up old WordStar documents. I can start up Windows 3.1 if I want in a VM. It's not as good as something open like LaTeX, but it's not completely useless.

If you use Adobe CS, and Adobe goes under, changes business models, or takes down its activation servers for any reasons, your life's work might be dead. Few corporations survive forever. Even fewer products do. That's why a lot of us avoid rights-managed or some types of cloud-based software for critical work (although a lot of cloud-based has very good export options, so I don't hesitate to use e.g. Google Docs).
Git's use of master has nothing to do with the master/slave idea. The word master been a word longer than it has been associated with slavery. Not every use of master is offensive/rooted in slavery/racism.
Ok, so everyone has decided that SMR+ZFS is bad.

Given that all traditional RAID arrays do online rebuild,
what keeps a random application, lets say a database, from creating a write pattern during the rebuild which forces timeouts?

AFAIK, nothing. And logically, it might be possible with just a single drive without the RAID given that WD hasn't published proper command timeout definitions for these drives either.

So people are giving them a pass for finally admitting that the drives are SMR. That does nothing if they won't publish topology information, or buffer capacity so that the host can optimize write patterns.

So, until the opensource community can adjust the worse case command timeouts, and preferably optimize write patterns based on drive topology, the hardware doesn't appear fit for any purpose.
> Literally no one's definition of "society" ignores individuals.

Yours appears to since you say only social issues matter. You are ignoring that individuals have issues, and those issues matter too, because society has to respect individual rights, and that includes the individual right to resolve individual issues without micromanagement based on some busybody's beliefs about "social issues".
I tend to bring this up in terms of hiring initiatives as well... if there are X% of people are of $identity Z in terms of the field in practice (let's say 20% female in software engineering). And a large company tries to hit 50% in hiring, they're actually reducing diversity across the industry.

What they should be doing is scholarship and mentoring programs to increase the base if that is their real goal. But that takes actual effort and costs real money.

There's a lot of truth to this. When I ask such a person what they're really willing to sacrifice to improve the situation, it's crickets. Talk is cheap.

Aside from that, if we must change the terminology, can we at least all change it to the same new terminology. The last thing we need is 20 new euphemisms.

> Security complaints are a weak argument

Performance, performance, performance. Battery life matters. Smooth animations matter.

People seem awfully sure Apple's anti-Flash move was 100% motivated by platform-building and 0% by perf. I'm not so sure it was 100%/0%, because I actually saw how shockingly bad Flash perf was, and I saw how big Apple's perf push was at the time.

One time (2010-ish?) I accidentally left SpinControl.app open after a dev session for ~1 week. SpinControl was an app that would automatically dump a stack trace whenever any application failed to drain its event queue for more than a few seconds and beachballed. Super handy. In any case, when I came back to development and noticed SpinControl, I was surprised to find that 100% of the hundreds of stack traces collected after my development session involved flash. Not 99%, not N-1, literally 100%. WebKit was finding its way into different applications so the symptoms weren't limited to Safari, but I still suspected that I had a filter enabled or something. Surely Flash couldn't have accounted for 100% of my beachballs? I triggered a Mail.app reindex, and sure enough, a stack trace popped up in SpinControl, this time in sqlite, as expected. It wasn't an instrumentation problem. Flash had literally been 100% responsible for all of my beachballs over the past week. Crazy.

This was around the time that Apple started to push developers away from APIs that made it impossible for Apple to aggregate background thread wakeup events to save battery life. In other words: they were willing to sacrifice goodwill to obtain perf.

I'll grant you that platform considerations likely played a big role in Apple's decision, but also remember that Flash was literally the single largest performance-limiting factor when it came to desktop freezes and battery life at the time, and that probably played a role too.
But in this case, the term "slave" isn't being used, right?

If these cases were against police and not against individual policemen, the QI would not apply. So plaintiffs can get compensation that way.
It's not always possible to get that to work, depending on the tech. In the case of Flash one of the most annoying and difficult parts is that it requires access to the rest of the world on the internet to function properly a lot of the time. It's because of that lack of security that it was so useful and made a lot of good things possible back then (and also a lot of bad things too).
Honestly, how pathetic and flimsy of a society do we want. If we're living in a simulation, it needs a reboot.

> dealing with illegal immigration has popular support.

You presume that "dealing with illegal immigration has popular support" is the same as "the public broadly supports arbitrary cruelty to illegal immigrants".

The US population (~80%) appears to think "dealing with illegal immigration" should mean "provide a path to citizenship" [1]

ICE has earned all of the scrutiny they get. ICE does not seem to care about the welfare of the people in its care [2]. It does not seem to care about US immigration law [3]. Or the rights of legal immigrants [4]. ICE employees say ICE prioritizes rounding up law abiding families over criminal investigations [5].

The word you're thinking of there is "tusk", not "trunk".
An indictment sets forth the government’s allegations regarding the charged crimes. The government’s case is that Assange crossed the line from receiving illegally leaked materials to facilitating the illegal leak. The content of the email isn’t relevant to the charged crime except that the information needs to be classified.

The fact that the leaked information contained evidence of arguable war crimes is at most a moral (but not legal) justification. There is a good argument that the government should have exercised its prosecutorial discretion not to pursue this case in that basis. But an indictment does not need to include evidence that might be morally exculpatory. (It doesn’t even have to include legally relevant exculpatory evidence; the prosecutor is just required to disclose that to the defense attorney.) Assange will definitely raise this video and other evidence in his defense.

The Guardian article twists the narrative—alleging the government “failed to include” to evidence, as if it had a duty to do so—to artificially bolster its premise. You can say that the government should hold back in a prosecution because conduct, though technically illegal, was justified. But reasonable people may or may not agree with that. So instead, the author takes it a step further to try and make it look like the government “failed” to disclose information it was obligated to include (conduct that’s much harder to agree with.)

This is circular. Your argument that this is "murder" cannot proceed from an assumption of the same.

> Your opinion... is utterly abhorrent to anyone who has watched that video...

I don't think personal attacks are productive. Additionally, there are wide arrays of views on this video. Your argument in support of your view appears to be based on an assumption that it is widely held and then an appeal to popularity, so it is doubly fallacious. Try making your point without assuming that everyone already agrees with you.

> can clearly see, for themselves, that these people were absolutely NO threat to US forces in the area

This isn't apparent from the footage; in fact the audio clearly indicates otherwise. They believed they had arms including an RPG. In any case, that isn't the legal test. Even unclassified ROE materials are clear that national self-defense is not the only lawful basis for the use of force in jus in bello.
