Despite what courses you did, or how great your grades were, when it comes to working in the Real World, you know very little. I know that sounds really arrogant, but experience trumps qualifications. By showing that you know you have a lot to learn, and are willing to take the advice of the more experienced, you'll get on much better with your team.

This probably applies to any profession.

In one case I am declaring that something needs to be true, in the other I am declaring that I believe something as true.

The authority fallacy is that a certain position cannot be challenged as some expert are infallible. Similarly to how you believe 2 + 2 = 4 you also believe Aristotle was the arbiter of truth. As an argument it exposes no attack surface because you do not admit criticisms of the position.

It is not a fallacy if you are simply making an assumption of a fact (eg that rats are born out of rotting plants) that can be separately proven or disproven.

Sort of how a dictionary is used, it is not that the dictionary must be true we understand that it is possible for it to be wrong, it is just that we agree not to contest it in most cases for ease of conversation.
Yes, although that is not the point. PostScript isn't using character names as an encoding; there is an array to specify which character names are being encoded, so that you can encode everything with numbers instead.

But I agree it isn't really that good; having a character set name and then the numbers, would be better, I think. PostScript supports that too, though.

I have a weird story of the same type, I developed a new module on the product (Quite an obvious one, no need to educate users), and got very little traction, but after 2 years, but reports and support started piling in. My new interpretation is that we just had to let the market pick up on it and do its transition at its own pace (I don’t know if development is paid for yet).
"We also know that reduced volume in this area has been associated with empathy, agreeableness and cooperation, so it ties nicely with behavioural data that suggests early chronotypes tend to engage in more pro-social behaviours than evening types."

Just pivot to "assisted-AI" where your solution is really bad but it adds "super-powers" to all their existing employees. It may give cover to some other businesses to fire staff under the "force-multiplier" argument that your software adds ("If their software makes every employee 33% better, we can fire 33% of our staff!").
That open letter is dated 2010. Flash was dead-man-walking for years before that insofar as new development was concerned. I was there.

I would propose that any serious web app development team grouped Flash on the client in the same "basket of deplorables" as the JRE, ActiveX and Silverlight long before 2010. Just a headache waiting to cause you compatibility support calls. Client plugins were to be avoided at all costs if possible.

I agree with other comments that Apple was killing flash only in the sense of putting it out of its misery - like a bullet for lame horse - and only waited as long as it did for compatibility reasons.
I'll just throw a note for a new product, AWS's QLDB. It's an internal managed product that combines a replicated, immutable, versioned document database with ACID transactions and an immutable, provable history of every modification. There's some streaming and subset SQL on the back end.

Something this focused should have a few applications where bit level auditability matters, eg financial, chain of events, etc. Of course it comes with some tradeoffs vs a relational or kv db.

I don't think it's a bad change, I think alternative words are fine and I would encourage anyone who wants to make such a change to do a find/replace in their codebase. What I don't like is delving into this topic now, when there are so many more important issues at hand and the nation is actually listening for once, especially knowing how this issue will be used to shut down important conversations around race and characterize the social justice movement as puerile and trivial. The reality is master/slave terminology is trivial.

If someone wants to replace "master" with "main" in code review, I think that's fine, perhaps even slightly better than what it was before, but this should stay within the confines of the organization rather than dilute the movement proper.
I reply that way when someone asks if I mean X, when X is very far from what I mean to convey. Often it's done dishonestly. That is, someone asks if I mean X as an argumentative gambit, rather than because they are genuinely trying to understand my position.

It sounds like you are genuinely trying to understand, so my response may have been inappropriate. I apologize.

To me, it seems that awk is less used than C. As I said, "C ate the world" - it became an incredibly dominant language. If you believe the TIOBE index, C is currently (June 2020) the most popular language in the world. By comparison, awk is somewhere in the 51-100 range. So, yes, by comparison to C, awk is not used nearly as much.

My larger point was this: C and awk both came from Bell Labs, both had famous people from that group involved in their creation, and both got distributed with Unix. And yet C saw (and sees) much wider use. This disproves the thesis that a language's popularity is a function only of famous people and organizational support. If those were the only factors, awk should be used as much as C, but it isn't.

Why isn't awk used as much as C? Because C is useful for a wider range of things. You don't write embedded systems or operating systems in awk. awk is still quite useful. What it does, it does well. But it's less useful than C (when you consider the entire universe of programming tasks, it's useful for fewer of them), and therefore it is used less.

My overall point: Fitness to the task matters for programming language use. Programmers are not just lemmings, led around by the nose to pick languages based on the fame of the author and the organization supporting the language. They actually pay some attention to whether the language is good for writing the kind of program they're trying to write. Languages that are good for writing a wider range of programs get used more than languages that are good for writing a narrower range of programs. That doesn't make the narrower languages bad or useless. It just means they will mostly be used on a smaller range of tasks.

It sounds like a time-series database does in fact include some elements of ETL at the database layer. I can see how that would be helpful.

x=w.getAttribute("href");
x=x.replace(/^\/url\?q=([^&]*)&.*$/,(y,z)=>unescape(z));
w.setAttribute("href",x.replace(/[?&]?sa=[A-Z]&ved=[-A-Za-z/._0-9+]*$/,""));

In most casts that results in discriminatory civil suits.

In most places in the US restaurants have the legal right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.

Oh, it is easy - just bundle server together with application. The same way we bundle static dependencies (resource files).

For that you need server snapshot, that should be easy - just require it (maybe with source) to be provided with each application that use network. But some servers aggregate data from several users.

That's easy too - require it to be possible to deploy by user on some generalized network architecture.
The dBASE file format lives on in an unlikely place: the "shapefile" format supported by nearly all Geographic Information System (GIS) software.

A shapefile is actually a collection of files, typically using the same filename with different extensions.

There is a .shp file containing the actual geographical "shapes": points, lines, polygons, etc.

Alongside it is a .dbf (dBASE) file with information about each shape. For example, if you have a list of cities, each city may have a boundary polygon (or multipolygon) in the .shp file, and the city name, population, and other demographics in the .dbf file.

The other required file is a .shx containing indices into the .shp file for faster navigation through it.

There may be other files as well; a common one is the .prj file that describes the projection used in this shapefile.

This collection of files, foo.shp, foo.dbf, foo.shx, etc. is referred to together as a "shapefile".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapefile

Bringing us full circle, GIS programmers and users often import a shapefile into PostGIS for processing. And PostGIS is, of course, a GIS extension to PostgreSQL!

#HOPEFULLY YOU SEE THIS COMMENT:

Ok, thanks
Well, this is also how casinos work. Games are invented so that asymptotically, the gamblers will, on average, loose money.

Insurance companies achieve the same thing by setting your premiums according to whatever they assess the risk to be. Again, asymptotically, people pay more in insurance premiums than the insurer pays out.

There are a few features of Flash that require either filesystem access or TCP/UDP sockets, which we are never going to be able to support while interoperating with native Flash Player. We can at least hypothetically emulate RTMP and some peer-to-peer functionality by wrapping it in WebSockets or WebRTC, but that only allows communication with Ruffle-aware servers and Ruffle peers (or a patched version of Lightspark). Local Shared Objects can be emulated with cookies but we cannot share LSOs with Flash Player, which stored everything in a separate Flash-specific cookie jar. Flash also had it's own cross-domain policy mechanism, which we could technically support with the extension, but for security reasons we're probably going to just use standard CORS fetches and hope any websites that need it are updated or proxied to support it.

We obviously also cannot support any of Flash Player's DRM features, not for any particular technical reason, but because we (and likely Adobe) are legally restricted from shipping a pure-web decoder for that DRM. We probably could proxy to an Adobe-provided EME plugin, but that would require cooperation with Adobe and major browser vendors for a 0.01%er preservation use case. We also cannot proxy early Flash video as no browser appears to expose native/hardware H.263 or VP6 decoding, so we'll have to ship software codecs that will probably perform like hot garbage on HD video. Fortunately, I don't think there's a lot of SWFs or FLVs with HD video in those codecs anyway.

Flash also allows you to enumerate device fonts, which used to be possible on the Web but isn't anymore. I don't think anyone will miss it.

However, the web sandbox is so large and all-encompassing nowadays that all of the above seems like small caveats. The vast majority of Flash content that people actually want to use is either standalone movies (Newgrounds, Albino Blacksheep, other portals) or static websites (e.g. Homestar Runner, Homestuck). The big hurdles for that are AVM2, dynamic text & inputs, and Stage3D. All of those are almost-perfectly enclosed within the web sandbox. Most of the sandbox-prohibited stuff is necessitated by websites which likely either have executed a transition plan to web standards (and thus won't be using Ruffle) or are willing to put up with whatever extra wrappers or steps we require to make these old APIs work.

Maybe.
> But to expect that a _federal agency_ will be denied service from a private entity, especially for essentially political reasons, is lunacy.

The problem is the definition of customer and the actual commitment to a customer focus, in my experience.

It's usually hijacked away from the actual customer - that is to say, a person who pays your company for products and/or services - to various internal "customers" who are nothing of the sort.

Spotify are ostensibly the Gods of Agile, but how many Spotify music customers were actually begging for podcasts? How many of them were begging for Spotify to lock podcasters behind their paywall and stop podcasts working with any tool? Was there even a single paying Spotify customer demanding that?
That much involvement is going to lead to customer driven architecture, which seems like another failure mode.

Honest question and not taking sides on either aisle.

The incarceration and family separation started with the last administration. It’s well documented so don’t ask me to cite sources. Google is your friend.

Let’s say November comes and we have blue in the White House, do those calling for their employer to stop working with ICE/Pentagon/FBI/etc, go quiet and things go back to normal in the news for them?

I think that’s something that needs an answer because a lot of these companies have been working with the government prior to 2016.

And I'm trying to explain to you that it's not a "misunderstanding" - the US is hardly unique in using euphemisms and indirect language to downplay/distance itself from its actions. The "internment camps" Japanese Americans were held in were concentration camps, and frankly it's absurd to expect anybody else to pander to one's euphemisms for human rights abuses - the right thing to do is to consistently call it out no matter how uncomfortable it makes people, "American context" be damned. After all, we don't (for example) have much concern for the "Turkish context" when talking about the Armenian genocide either.

The bigger the project or smaller the company the more customer involvement is demanded. You may not be in that nexus. If the app runs with new features perhaps that is good enough.

You are correct. I thought the heat would be negligible, but it's not. A modern plutonium pit is about 3kg [1]. If you want to induce a 5% decay, that's 150g. Each gram is equivalent with about 3 tons of coal [2] , so that's about 450 tons. If you do that over a period of 1 year, that's still about 1 ton of coal per day. That won't go unnoticed.

Even in a German locale, it doesn't work. "Müller" and "Mueller" are two different names, there is no band called "Moetley Cruee", etc. Also, "sz" hasn't been a replacement for "ß" since 1901.
Indeed, and there also is a DPI scaling option at least as early as Windows 98, on top of the text/widget size configuration. I've used it on a 1200p monitor connected to a Windows 98 box, and it works.

It doesn't always produce the most beautiful results, but it's serviceable. And to be fair, it's taken a long time for high-DPI to consistently look beautiful even on recent versions of Windows. I shudder to remember looking at Device Manager on a display set to 125% in the DPI settings.
>And they'll be much faster than any custom compression scheme on top of another data store.

As usual, it depends on the situation and what's being measured. For example, if you are able to batch a lot, then write performance of a blob will be line rate. If you need an ACK on each event then that's not possible and indeed a column store will be better.

Since you guys are doing something I highly agree with and I replied to your announcement post as well...

How about a UML/ERD diagram tool which can spit out schemas and, given a schema to start with, migrations?

There are a couple dozen of these being offered as SAAS with varying levels of usability and complexity. If you built one of those you'd soon have the attention of everyone who is bitching about paying 20 dollars a month to see their own database in a way that management can visualize for their charts and graphs.

ERD diagrams have existed for decades. Even Oracle gives such a tool away. But for Postgres, the easiest way to create a schema with migrations without a credit card is still to write a Django model by hand, afaik.
