Are you a “harbinger of failure”? (2015)
Yeah, I'm expecting it to step up significantly soon. I keep seeing people doing back of the envelope calculations to determine how long it will take to vaccinate everyone at the current rate, but it's pretty obvious that it's not going to just continue at the current rate.

It's a huge missed opportunity that we weren't better prepared from the get go, given we've had all year to get ready, but it will get better.

I thought about aggregating books by prizes their authors had won, so you could browse books written by chemistry Nobel Prize winners or Fields Medal winners. I quickly gave up on the project, but I'm sure I poured hundreds of hours into it before that. I'm not too despondent about it anymore, and learned a lot (it's my first ever website, and only one so far!) - it was quite gruelling to manually go through all of the authors and choose pictures and attach affiliate links.. I'm sure the affiliate links have already expired as there wasn't a single buy through them.

What's the best book you read in the current year, and why? For me it was Range, by David Epstein. The combination of surveys, research data, anecdotes, and the ease of reading was fantastic! It helped me see many things in a more positive light than I had before. What about everyone else?

I played a lot with flash back in the day when it was still macromedia flash and flash 4 and 5 to be specific. Mind you, I was 10-12 years old at the time so my current opinion would be somewhat skewed for obvious reasons. That said, I think flash had a few very good things about it. First off the fact that it could spit out windows executables natively was brilliant. Second it was perfect for 2d games and in-browser games. Nothing comes even close to it even today. But from a developer prospective, I think it had one fundamental flaw(from my point of view today): it never made a clear distinction between developers and designers. And even though ActionScript was based on the abomination that is js, from what I remember of it, it was a significantly better thought out language.

No they won't.

It will stop you upgrading to later versions when they eventually abandon Intel support in macOS but even that is a long way off.

What if you need to git ssh clone? Can you use your private key locally while your are currently connected to the a server?

Genuine question, this is why I have a private key on the server in out office so I can clone our private repos.

Can you use your local private key then?

For sure on how exploitative it is. Just frustrating that so much focus is placed on ensuring minimum wage for these drivers but not those drivers. But if ride share minimums end up more expensive it seems kinda like proof that taxi drivers can’t be making minimum wage either, which especially sucks since government sets their exact prices
Depends really on your proficiency at python and the task at hand. For many "small fry" tasks Excel is perfectly fine and faster. Good when the table data is meant to be in foreground.

For things where data exploration and formulas should be in the foreground or where data and formulas should be strictly separated python (or a python/jupyter notebook) has tangible benefits (e.g. really good list syntax).
Exactly this. If your threat model needs you to implement all of this then also use TEMPEST hardware to really lock things down. No use in hardening everything when an attacker can read your screen from a safe distance with some SDR-gear and a suitable antenna.

Yes, you can pretty easily use "SSH agent forwarding", which grand-parent comment calls "the devil", but really it's not that bad when used selectively, and a lot better than copying the private key to the server.

Okay, but I would expect the main takeaway is that, for the purposes of things like tachyons and black holes and CTCs, the "speed of light" is still c, not whatever speed one measures in various non-vacuums.

The only assertion of which I'm aware that the apparent speed of light in a medium is what really matters for relativity was Ron Mallet's work: https://www.phys.uconn.edu/~mallett/main/papers.htm . I don't believe there's been any experimental confirmation of it, though.
The taxis in Seattle were vile before Uber. I know women who were literally extorted by taxi drivers. Nothing in my experience with Seattle taxis back then suggests that this is not plausible. Even when I literally had a taxi line outside my door, I avoided it at all costs as there were many bad experiences.

The “unions and local governments” tacitly backed a criminal enterprise in the taxis. No thanks.
Right... but then if the threat is remote access, the author would have to remove nonsense like systemd making your box insecure (racy init shellscripts being the pinnacle of security), and old platform support that you don't build in openssl being "abhorrent security practices".
Domino's vs. Robles doesn't say you can't use JS. no court ever ordered Domino's to do anything, afaict. all they did was affirm that Robles was allowed to sue Domino's under the ADA (without deciding whether their site was in fact accessible or not.) See http://georgemauer.net/2019/11/04/dominos-v-robles.html for a good breakdown of the rulings.

In particular, Robles wanted the court to order Domino's to make their site WCAG-2.0 compliant. WCAG is completely silent on JavaScript. It's possible that some screen readers don't support JavaScript, but if Domino's site used ARIA tags and complied with WCAG the court would almost certainly consider that accessible (there's no official DoJ guidelines on what constitutes accessibility, so the court and businesses have latitude here.)

The ADA is all about reasonable accomodations. Supporting major screen readers is reasonable; supporting all of them clearly isn't. 98% of screen reader users have JS enabled (https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey4/#javascript), so it's clearly reasonable to provide an accessible webapp.
I would guess it is because doors are large pieces of stamped sheet metal, as are the other body parts they mount to. They span a fairly large opening. There's probably a certain amount of flex and variation compared to cast and CNC machined engine parts. Doors in a house always need to be shimmed during installation to get the frames square and latches working properly. A car door will have tighter tolerances, but similar issues.

The point is these adjustments are (or should be) made in the factory, not with post-delivery reworking.
Plus Chrome's multiprocess model and sandboxing meant when Flash crashed you'd lose a tab or two instead of the whole browser. Before that I used to have browser profiles (and sometimes a whole browser) just dedicated to the fragile buggy Flash plugin, which wasn't installed on my primary browser.

The author pretty accurately describes a business model for a startup in an enterprise company: offering a service that was once hidden in some excel sheets.

As a developer at heart turned Senior Manager, I find this article especially interesting. I stumble a lot over complaints like these in the enterprise company I am working for and truth to be told, I voiced many of these before myself.

Problems I see:

- What is the business problem the author is trying to solve? How does a tool - Python - can help do specifically do what better?

- There are no specific measurements mentioned. How big is the data the author mentioned, how long does an analysis cycle take, how large are the teams, the affected people? What about maintaining the software stack? How many requests are there per year?

-What about cost savings? How could they help us compete with other companies?
Lead cycles of even weeks may bother a developer but not the business.

It is not that I don't believe his suggestions. It is just that I don't get to the point other than "my favorite tool could do it, too." We could easily substitute Python with R, for example.

"The spreadsheet took 30+ seconds to open" I know this is an annoyance, but how often do you open it? One time a day? 20 times an hour?

"The new model logic is testable and can be upgraded independently" this is one of the most valuable points here, as long as you work in a larger environment. So context is needed here as well.

I know a colleague of mine who is extremely well versed in Excel who has put a decent amount of magic into her sheets. However, even losing her and starting all over again is from a business perspective way cheaper than trying to put her solution behind a cloud service.

It would be fun, to have a conversation with the author.

Just curious, how do you configure the connection limit for this public postgres instance? Is it just a high value, or something more clever?
If you're cloning a specific application, the server could have its own key with read-only access to the repo. But if you're using that for deployment, you could (in AWS) grant the instance access to specific S3 paths and pass a specific artefact URL to be downloaded. (Or something similar for other environments)

But maybe you've got a different use case? I'd start with "why are you using git directly on a (production?) server?"

I don't actually use Excel much so others might have better resources.
Hi, this is a late reply but I am actually pulling this off. Your points above all make sense but are around the desktop paradigm. If you move to the cloud paradigm not only most of the points go away but you gain a lot by having data all in one place (S3) and strict collaboration (github). Specifically the Python env problem goes away if you ask analysts to work online with notebooks (ie jupyter hub).

Walmart's workers cost the public $6.2 billion (https://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoconnor/2014/04/15/report-...) in welfare.

Some of this is food stamps. Which Walmart bills the government for when food is bought from their stores using them.

Walmart moving into a small town and driving a bunch of small business's out doesn't make anything more efficient, it literally costs the taxpayer more, of which a bunch of that goes to Walmart's owners as revenue.

Anecdotally, brands offering excellent service ship worse products out of the box. Any defects are fixed quickly by the service network.

I will say, I think the niche of browser games played by kids is now taken up by phone games from a consumer perspective. I'm not sure even if an easy way to create them existed that they'd be nearly as popular.

That is for me the right way to frame it. Both flash and the web lost out to mobile. Neither managed to get a sufficient foothold there, and in practice people’s primary computing experience is now through fully proprietary apps distributed through vendor-controlled walled garden app stores.

The technical qualities of the underlying platforms didn’t matter all that much. Mobile platform vendors have control, and they made sure native apps made with their tools distributed through their store was the easier path. Apple could have improved safari’s progressive web apps ability to the point that it became a feasible alternative to making native iOS apps, but they didn’t, so people simply stopped trying to shoehorn web apps onto mobile platforms.

Apple didn’t kill flash to replace it with html5, they killed it to replace it with their own proprietary tech. I’m not sure they intended it that way, but they definitely intend to keep it that way (witness for example how web notifications are in safari on desktop but not mobile).
Sure you could do that, cause a bunch of people to be evicted, the homeless rate would go up, the crime rate would go up, you'd have problems with disease due to poor hygeine and hospital costs due to those homeless only turning up in emergency when it was an emergency due to EMTALA.

Then "something must be done" so you could spend a bunch of money building more jails, imprisoning and murdering a bunch of these people via law enforcement and the net result would be a society where somehow Americans decided that the most important thing to them was the profit margins of billionaires and Uber rather then being able to walk down the street without getting mugged or smelling human effluent.

The classic American thinking on welfare and labor relations: that surely there's no other possible reasons to do these things.
This is clickbait. Apple will not discontinue support for Intel Macs "soon".

And his computer will likely work, just with an outdated version of the OS, once they eventually drop Intel support — years down the road.

Considered he pirated Apple's operating system, they owe him nothing. He certainly knew the risks going into this.
You'll actually find that the majority of the work for drawing this is happening on the GPU. I didn't even come close to maxing out my CPU with a stable 144fps.
No, not sarcasm at all. I tried Flash on a variety of different operating systems and browsers at the time -- and IE5 on Mac OS 9 was the only one that consistently delivered good results.

It seems weird, but when you consider the context at the time, it makes sense. Back in the late 90s -- when Flash was on the rise and being rapidly developed -- IE5 was the browser to have on Mac just as it was on Windows. The reasons had to do with the infusion of cash from Microsoft into Apple to keep the latter company afloat while Jobs restructured it and pivoted it to Mac OS X. At the time, companies such as Adobe and Macromedia -- which hadn't been acquired by Adobe yet -- developed and tested on Mac first and most extensively, because they catered to the design crowd. As for browsers -- Safari wasn't around yet, Netscape was boomer tech by that time, Mozilla was broken, and Firefox wouldn't come out for a couple years. That really left only IE and boutique browsers like CyberDog and iCab. So the environment that got the most thorough testing was -- once again -- IE on Mac OS 9.

When Mac OS X finally did come out, it would take a number of years for Mac developers to fully embrace it. Remember, to the Mac teams inside Adobe and Macromedia, Inside Macintosh was the fucking Bible. Classic Mac OS was The Right Thing; Mac OS X was something weird and wrong and inherently anti-Mac, as parts of it came from Unix, which was known for having user-hostility baked into its design philosophy. It was also the future, but it was a future they'd take years to reckon with. So, for a while, the native OS X version of Flash chugged no matter which browser you used it in. Meanwhile, IE5 for Mac OS 9 still worked perfectly well provided you launched the Classic environment, so if you wanted top Flash performance it was still available.

And now that's a proprietary authoring tool, again.

Back then, one of the arguments against Flash was that it was closed and proprietary, both authoring- and runtime-wise. Browsers nowadays are arguably open-source runtimes, but we still don't have a good open-source authoring tool that replicates the magic of Flash.
I love me some Flash games, and sad to see Flash go.

I must disagree on one point here: accessibility.

In HTML, accessibility is built in, and you have to do some stupid shit to break it, e.g. using divs and spans combined with CSS for fake "links". Many succeed, even Google has some on their search results pages, but it's not the default state.

In Flash, accessibility is barely an afterthought by default, and if you care about it, you have to work your ass off basically re-implementing the whole thing by yourself.
For 1. I would say R is a good option. It works relatively well everywhere and has an ok IDE, lots of packages that make life easier (tidyverse). I also wouldn’t recommend python for exactly that reason.
