Honestly, that's fine. What more do you want? For developers to roll their own SELinux and Apparmor profiles? For them to manually implement seccomp filtering? No one does that.

The reality is that no one is choosing between "containers or some other approach", they're choosing between "containers or nothing".

I still use Animate CC as an animation tool for web. I don’t like the HTML5 export feature. The “export texture atlas” feature is much more useful. I have built a runtime for this feature, designed to integrate into whatever renderer you use (Canvas2d, WebGl, DOM, Three.js). It’s kinda like Lottie I suppose, but allows for more dynamic behaviour.

Depends on what you replace it with, I don’t mind replacing ‘master’ with ‘main’, but all the hubbub around it made me obstinately stick with ‘master’.

Replacing ‘invalid’ with something like ‘incorrect’ seems much less likely to set people off.
Alternate take: The Socratic method does not work particularly well. Socrates was not able to convince his jurors of his innocence. And after he had pled for sentence, more jurors voted to have Socrates put to death than had voted to find him guilty in the first place. Think about that. Even some of the jurors who thought Socrates was innocent decided to put him to death anyway.

TLDR; Socratic method is not as useful as you might assume.

Actually the magnification is shockingly good, enough to find tardigrades and microorganisms. The Raspberry Pi Cam is the default low cost sensor option of the OpenFlexure 3D printed microscope which for less cost than this Lego kit competes with extremely expensive lab grade microscopes.

In OpenFlexure PiCam mode, the lens from the PiCam is removed and inverted and spaced at a distance, giving a higher magnification than the digital camera in default configuration.

> switching the order of sounds is not a mechanism in the evolution of terms (at least, I cannot think of a single example),

This is an extremely common way for pronunciation to evolve, usually known as metathesis. An example familiar to most Americans is "ax" for "ask" heard in certain dialects.

For a hundred more examples, see the Wikipedia page.

Good. The fact that they alienate power users means the platform will not be preferred by power users, and most of the content on it will have dubious value.

Sounds like a conspiracy theory.

I think polio actually became more of an issue in the early 20th century because hygiene improved, which meant that people tended to get polio during childhood, rather than in infancy like before. And polio is more dangerous to children than infants.

Browsers now are very complex. At the time, we were still dealing with IE6 and JavaScript 3.

Flash could do literally everything that browsers at the time did, and more. Load and display multimedia files, animate them, interpret ActionScript, and do it cross platform, cross browser, in a performant, relatively secure manner.

> both may have come from the same root

But they seem to have the same meaning. The identified root seems to be "mṛ", that of mortality, and they may (/may/, with relevance to the content this paragraph) come from it; that one term in Sanskrit in inherited by Greek and then Latin is the «come from» I meant.

> and 'marya' does not seem to mean mortal

So where does it come from? According to some authors, 'marya' comes from "mṛ" just like 'martya', which you state has a different root. Edit: disambiguation: of course 'marya' is used for "young man". But it seems to mean "a "mortal", someone ready (initiated, young man, no more a child) to develop his defined (limited) path of life".
In our modern lifestyle, there's a good argument for a vitamin D supplement, but it's also important not to take too much - the suggested dose in the article is IMHO the max I'd take (I am very far from being a medical authority - this is just based on my readings of such articles).

An overlarge supplement of vitamin D will create kidney stones[1] and may be harmful to bones[0] - a rather unexpected result.

Polysemy is a fundamental concept in most (all?) languages. I am not aware of a language without polysemes.

Should we replace “driver”, because people might confuse them with people driving cars? How about “tree”? Are you confused by river “banks”?

“What, commit trees don’t grow on soil?”

“What do you mean? I can’t sit on the same bank that manages my money?”

You cannot and should not design for the lowest common denominator, which is a person not familiar with basic language concepts.

If you think that “master” branch is offensive, YOU are the problem, not the language.

This is the main reason why I use NewPipe rather than pay YouTube's ransom. Although I have a high bandwidth plan, I just don't like wasting bandwidth and disk space for video data I'm not actually looking at with my eyes. Most of the time I pop on some intellectual content and listen to it, and the video is often unnecessary. Just give me the damn audio and I'm good. YouTube seems to think this isn't a concern, and maybe it isn't if I forced it to download the 140p version of the video, but that's still a clunky solution. Or maybe the execs think that providing audio downloads lets people "steal" music.
Correct. I'm not a native English speaker.

As the Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO, you basically have the power to do nothing. You can't order anyone to do anything . "NATO is an alliance of 30 sovereign nations but their individual sovereignty is unaffected by participation in the alliance. NATO has no parliaments, no laws, no enforcement, and no power to punish individual citizens. As a consequence of this lack of sovereignty the power and authority of a NATO commander are limited. NATO commanders cannot punish offences such as: failure to obey a lawful order; dereliction of duty; or disrespect to a senior officer.[155] NATO commanders expect obeisance but sometimes need to subordinate their desires or plans to the operators who are themselves subject to sovereign codes of conduct like the UCMJ. A case in point was the clash between General Sir Mike Jackson and General Wesley Clark over KFOR actions at Pristina Airport.[156]" from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO

Basically everyone just does whatever they want, quite similar to what they would do if they weren't in NATO.
There are many visual cues still apparent with a mask on, therefore it’s challenging to make any assertions on “evidence” on correlations between mask-wearing and the experience of children with visual impairment. (Nevermind the article mostly (and sloppily) addresses
the mere existence of masks and not their likely-relevant usage patterns.)
But that isn't how it works here. You're effectively saying your principled stand against the "system" (which changes nothing) is more important than making the person who served you get paid non slave wages. You went into an establishment that you knew had cheaper prices because staff works for tips and you didn't tip. That makes you a bad person. Sorry not sorry.
Frankly, in my opinion this is obvious. The role of the whole face in the social development of babies is very well known - I'm sure we all heard the story about ducklings being imprinted with human faces after being hatched in an incubator. It's not limited to life in the home either - I really don't like that most of the people my small children have seen outside the house have been masked. In fact, when people try to interact with our kids with the typical smiling and cooing, and get limited response, I have taken to telling them that it might be because my kids can't see their expressions.

The issue I see is that, at least where I live, the public messaging has been "there is no downside to wearing a mask, just put it on". This has, in my opinion, done huge damage to the credibility of science-based public messaging. A much more honest and accurate message would have been "there are some downsides, but based on our understanding of the evidence, we think the benefits outweigh the risks".

>I was a professional Flash developer at the time,

I think your personal financial investment into the Flash development platform biases your history.

In contrast, I wasn't a Flash programmer and only a user and I disagree with your claim that it was an Apple-orchestrated conspiracy.

Even before 2009, I (and many others) dreaded the Flash plugin. Yes, the early Youtube used Flash but when a website like a restaurant displayed their menu using Flash, it was a terrible experience. Each time a website displayed the "Flash plugin required" , it was a hassle. And even after downloading the plugin and then visiting the same website a week later, you'd inevitably get "We're Sorry -- You need to update your Flash Player".

Adobe Flash was also one of the top reasons in early 2000s for desktop browsers to crash. Misbehaving plugins like FLash was one of the motivating reasons for Chrome to make a bold architectural decision to isolate each tab into its own process so Flash would not crash the entire browser. The Chrome release was 2008 which was before the 2010 Steve Jobs "Thoughts on Flash"

Based on countless developer testimonies (such as yours), I'm convinced that Flash was wonderful for the programmers & content creators -- but as a consumer of computers since the 1980s, it was one of the most user-hostile technologies. A lot of us didn't need Steve Jobs to tell us that Flash was suboptimal; we experienced it firsthand.

>The web is unable to deliver an experience like Flash could, and likely will never be able to.

Again, as a user, I see no website today and think to myself, "I wish this was using Flash because it would be so much better." Can you give a compelling example?
I see segment tree in the catalog. This one is really popular in competitive programming. There are various techniques with segment tree in solving data structure problems. However I did never see it in real industry project code. I once saw splay tree in Chromium[1] and FreeBSD but segment tree is rare. I wonder whether segment trees are actually practical?

Nobody really knows, but the general advice is to get "10-15 minutes of sun every day, when your shadow is shorter than you".

The above is probably enough if you're caucasian, but add a bit of color and you'll need more time.

Also, UV-B rays needs to be able to penetrate the atmosphere, which is why the shadow part is there. I live at 56 degress north, and the shadow thing becomes a problem from around September to April. First of all, the sun doesn't rise above 50 degress until late april, and it also needs to be visible, which it usually isn't for long.
> Unfortunately there is no freedom under capitalism mon capitan

I wish the media industry understood this and took action. A lot of what they call "piracy" is less about people not wanting to pay and more about the paid experience being on-par if not worse than the pirate experience.
> you should just consider a 15% tip a part of bill for anything

No. If it’s part of the bill, put it on the bill.

It’s even worse if they ask for a tip up front like seriously, what?
No? Keep in mind that 300k USD is only 230k GBP, which is really not unusual comp in London for any vaguely senior position.
Maybe you have a bias since you worked with flash.

As a flash consumer from 2001-2011 I must tell you that honestly; flash was fucking painful.

Run a very weird binary blob riddled with security holes and questionable browser integrations or suffer.

Yes, some things became possible (habbo hotel, flash games, video/audio before browsers supported it) but it wasn’t worth it. I very much wanted flash to die by 2006 and ran a lot of extensions to bypass flash on Linux such as the “HTML5 everywhere” browser add on that tried to force YouTube to use HTML5 video (with mixed results).

I think anyone looking at flash now is romanticising the past. It was the least enjoyable thing about web browsing in the 00-s

More often than not when I've seen "whataboutism" used here it means "You can't say that (about me), I said it (about you) first!" which is in my opinion, intellectually lazy. There are times when a bad faith whatabout-ist argument is made as a diversionary tactic and they are frustrating, but the original comment[0] we are discussing does not feel like that to me. In fact the comment they were replying to is making the lazy and intellectually lacking argument.

There's levels of deterrence. A lot of thieves will cary bolt cutters that can crop unhardened steel chains easily. I lock my bikes with hardened steel chains but i have multiple marks on my chain where someone tried to crop the chain. If it was regular steel (or worse, plastic) they would have gotten the bike.
If someone really really wants your bike they'll cut through any chain or u lock with a angle grinder but there's a real difference between a Abus chain with 10mm shackles and a $5 chain.
It's a war of attrition I guess. Wear down the enemy and anyone associated with them over time.
No. This is a misunderstanding. Adobe was trying to work with Apple, and Apple rebuffed them.

Your tale doesn't realistically explain why Apple would permanently close the door on Flash, and do it in such a public, reputation-damaging way. They didn't just want Flash to improve, but they wanted to destroy Flash. And did!

That Flash was a competitor to the App Store does explain their actions.

You're basically saying "don't own something nice if you don't want it stolen".

More needs to be done to tackle bike theft. Be that education, physical deterrants (cameras, good quality bike lockup locations, etc).

I've had a bike stolen, and the police can do nothing. A bicycle is small, easy to disassemble, relatively low-value, and they are untraceable items.

A car is higher-value, but more easily traced than a bike - due to a large number of factors; size, colour, shape, insurance/legal documents to prove ownership, ANPR cameras, etc.

> Good. The fact that they alienate power users means the platform will not be preferred by power users, and most of the content on it will have dubious value.

It doesn't work like that. Stratechery explains why. Aggregators aggregate users and even power users like to talk to/be listened to by a lot of people.

So Twitter and Youtube and the like don't even need to target power users, in general. They need to target the greater population, and once that population is captive, if you want to have any kind of audience as a publisher, you're wrangled to where the users are, you're captive, too.

Apple does the same thing with devs. They primarily target not super sophisticated middle to upper class users with decent disposable incomes. Since they "own" a huge amount of these users, developers have to build applications for them if they want to make money. And then developers are second class citizens on Apple platforms. Apple removes an API overnight? Better get cracking to fix your app ASAP. Apple doesn't support modern CI/CD platforms? Have Amazon stack up consumer desktops in a warehouse to kind of work around that.
On that note, Flash games were basically web games (back in the day Java filled the same role to some degree, eg with SodaPlay (RIP)), and web games as a whole seem to have gone away to some degree, I'm wondering why that is. I guess they don't work very well on mobile (relative to mobile games that run fullscreen), and most (~50%) web traffic is mobile now?
personally I have very little exposure to the realm of disability. So if someone suggested to me that 'disabled' might not be a good term to be customer facing, although its not obvious to me, I know I do not have basis to disagree. I might just accept the suggestion and keep moving. I don't think it would occur to me to suspect someone of inventing nonsense.

actually I'm not even sure that 'disabled' is a clear term. In some contexts, 'unavailable' or 'not ready' might be more clear / less complicated. Kinda like how I don't personally recognise 'master' as a problematic term (انا لست امريكيا) but in many situations I find 'main' is a better fit anyway

>> Does the NHS say all other vitamin supplements are a waste; or is vit-d the only one they actively endorse?

I need to look for docs around this, but the message in the US (not sure about UK) is usually not that stark. Doctors usually say - "if you are eating a balanced diet, you dont need any supplements except Vitamin D".
