> Java had the disadvantage of being fundamentally designed without security in mind.

Nonsense. Java is one of very few languages that was designed to handle untrusted code from day 1, and it showed in having far fewer vulnerabilities than Flash.

Unfortunately the JVM was slow to start up, so you had an even worse "grey rectangle effect" than Flash, and applets like all plugins were poorly integrated with the rest of the page. Top that off with Java not being particularly great for writing UI or video in (it's fine, but it's not great) whereas Flash had excellent tools for doing vector animations and you can see why Flash was more popular.
Sora: One Fediverse iOS app for Mastodon, Bluesky. With algorithmic timeline
Sora is an iOS app I developed and released last month that connects to Mastodon, Bluesky, Misskey, and Firefish. It has algorithmic timeline based on your interests. Bookmark support for Bluesky. Bookmark folders. GIF picker. Post hourly analysis. And many other features.
Adobe capitulated, but apple killed it when it didnt support it on ios.
So is sanity :-P
Video LAN Client (VLC) makes most codecs and emulators extra work, as even Flash plays using VLC.
> I’ve never heard of Kioxia.

1) You probably don't buy a lot of raw flash memory. Kioxia sells components, not finished products.

2) Before 2019, they were called Toshiba Memory. You might recognize that name better.
Maybe they should stop excluding a bunch of housing from the vacancy tax? Maybe I misunderstood the article but why not tax all rentals of landlords that have multiple offerings?
Yeah, and to use S3 efficiently you also need to batch your messages into large blobs of at least 10s of MB, which further complicates the matter, especially if you don't want to lose those messages buffers.

Really? Well I'm certainly not a highschooler, and have been working as a software developer for more than a decade. Until today, I see R Pi as tiny Linux box. Okay for running your PHP/Python apps.

If you want to go lower level, which I believe is necessary for CS/EE education, perhaps get one of those ARM microcontrollers.

First to market, but with beginner mistakes. I'll wait for a more mature EV truck myself. I want a simple box frame, with a body on frame, nothing fancy. Just pure utilitarian EV truck like a base F150 but with a battery.

Oh, you mean they were careful about licensing on the in side, not the output side. I wouldn't call it "anal" to want to avoid lawsuits.

and not explain it - did the courts change their whole view of reverse engineering or something?
If I search the same - I don't even get sponsored ads with DDG with your search terms. I generally get with my own searches one or two sponsored ads at top of page before the real results begin.

I would guess even if DDG protects your privacy, it would use information (perhaps search and or site history) the browser is broadcasting regardless to filter results it pipes to the end point.

For example I never see quora results (honestly it's been some years so I'd forgotten they existed still) as some members in this thread were annoyed with and paid to be done with them ... then again I'm cheap and would use search terms -site:quora.com
I'm not actually defending getting an animal high, but my mention was regarding dogs that are already dying.

That said, I tried to research the recycling effect mentioned in the article and was disappointed to see first that there were no actual links to the listed sources, and second, upon searching for the articles I found that they are all blog posts. I couldn't find a single peer reviewed paper on the effect that is supposed to be so dangerous.
Pure personal anecdote, a couple years back I did explicitly choose to observe 'zero work Sundays', either office or domestic. Rejecting the oft self-induced guilt for daring to catch my breath 1/7 made a measurable dent in improving QoL. While YMMV, give it a try. Usually stuff can wait a day.
> It sounds like a conspiracy theory, except it's basically well known and nobody really cares it seems, we're too easily baited. (including myself here).

No, it sounds like a conspiracy theory because it is. It has nothing to do with some shady cabal of elites ("the ruling class"). It's just American culture.
Eek. I have not looked at their prices in too long! You are absolutely right. My memory suggested Saleae based on prices like this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/378 ($USD 149. Very clearly, no longer the case!

Appreciate the pointing out the staleness.
I have the same chip and it's amazing to see it idle at 75W after growing up on Intel chips that use like 5W at idle.

Of note is that Zen 2 (the 3970x's microarchitecture) is 7nm. The new Threadrippers are on a 5nm process. I would expect slightly lower power consumption, but note that the 7000 series of Threadrippers quote a TDP of 350W while the 3000 series quote 280W. So I'm guessing they're using the efficiency for more speed instead of more power savings.

To me, it's fine. I'd always prefer paying more for electricity than to wait longer for something to complete. (But I do respect the desktop chips that can blink my cursor with an efficiency core that uses a few tens of milliwatts.)

I had some gripes with the way the timeline developed later on (like why in a world where Saturn Vs and Sea Dragons are getting launched, are space shuttles exactly like our world getting made? And getting launched to the moon?) but overall I do appreciate the serious take at an alternate history work on mainstream television.
That hash thing alone pretty much guarantees it will remain a geek thing unfortunately :(
Did your region pass laws to the effect of "foreign companies, do all this stuff to give our people special treatment or you can't serve them," only for Surprised Pikachu to make an appearance when many companies have said "OK, we'll go with option two, you're not as special and important as you think"? Laws have consequences.

They're hopefully not using a CPU for that - that's all been on the GPU for years.

Dogs need, before anything, exercise and depending on the breed they might need more/other stimulus. Walking your dog 2 hours a day (one hour in the morning the other in the afternoon/evening) would basically be a minimum requirement. After exercise they need disciple and affection (that order). If you can't do this, don't get a dog, it's not a toy, it's a member of your family that needs proper care. Drugging a dog up to fit your lifestyle is not an adequate response for your lack of responsibility.
I wrote AS3 and mxml for adobe flex for several years. AS3 was in many ways ecmascript 4, and was IMO pretty far ahead of its time. Lots of things we get excited for today feels like stuff we took for granted on the web in the flash player ecosystem years ago. Don't get me wrong, there were times where it was a nightmare, but back when cross browser javascript was a struggle if it was even possible, we were able to ship a lot of great stuff.
Free speech is a protection relating to the government's ability to inhibit it, not a corporation's.

Like, you can say what you want, unless that's also illegal (credible death threats, hate speech etc...) and the government won't stop you or imprison you, but no company is required to protect you or keep employing you based on that concept. There are other protections in place that limit corporations' ability to terminate you, just not relating to speech, at least in the US. I'm not sure how different the system in Ireland is.
Most billionaires still work I think.

I personally believe that true contentment in life is if you can do something meaningful to help others. The human connection is such a basic thing in life. We want love, not just sex.

You might think that getting lots of money would make other people like you more but I think that is the opposite. Billionaires really aren't that "likable" are they?
Cinebench 2024: Reviewing the Benchmark
If they hadn't EOLed Flash then projects like Ruffle would have the difficult job of playing catch up with a proprietary runtime that would still be in wide use.
It happened to me at much lower $. I grew up poor, all my friends are solidly blue collar middle class. I live in one of the nicer areas in my city, one tier down from the where the people live whose name you would know.

When you're poor, getting some extra $ means maybe you boost your 401k or something. But once you are doing the max, or maybe you make so much you can't legally put money in 401k, it's very confusing. My lifestyle didn't even change but I asked one of my friends for advice, if they had any family or something who had some money and I immediately lost that friend.
In that case, American politics has been dominated by radicalism at least since the time we let one of our own vessels blowing up due to lax maintenance drag us into the Spanish-American War, if not longer. Politics is usually more about feelings than facts. The rational voter is a myth. We don't imagine Americans were mulling the issue of slavery by reading the great thinkers of the day in an era when 1 in 10 white men couldn't read, do we?

Indeed, but honestly it would have been worth all the effort to keep h*r going in its original form alone.
Well, it's probably hard to not let sufficiently large differences in wealth not affect the type of activities you want to do and some attitudes. Sure, you might still like to cook a lot of your own meals and go on cheap roadtrips. But absent money as a real consideration you're very possibly also going to want to do things that a person with a lot less money just can't reasonably afford--and while you can pick up a night out here and there it's not something that it's going to be comfortable to do all the time in general.

A dent is much different than a 45mph crash. At that speed you have to replace half of the car. We have done those at our shop on an occasion. It’s rare as it’s a pricy repair.

I think Saleae's made way in the low-end market to Chinese Saleae clones that have similar software and hardware to their original models – at similar prices, too.

"People need money to eat" is not mutually exclusive with "writing free and open source software."

My first reaction was to ask: who is the author?I wish it was someone with good CTO credentials under their, but it doesn't tell me anything.

I've been cto at 3 companies over the last 10 years, and maybe I'm getting old and impatient, but I think as others say, this feels more of a book for the just-graduated CTO that finds himself in the role as a cofounder (I do technical advising to those) . In my experience the more you've been in the role, the more specific info you look for, like the Accelerate book.
> Collectivism has its downsides.

Collectivism also has upsides. I’m fascinated by Mormons because they seem to me to be the most Asian white people. Mormon men have a life expectancy almost 10 years longer than other white men. They have among the highest social mobility in the country. They, along with Jews, top the charts in measures of mental well being.

And this is all happening within the context of America. They deal with the same Obamacare, seem to have basically the same school systems, etc.
Yes. Lit and web components in general can help escape some of the overhead of building with React or Angular -- at the cost of doing more of your own component design.

As an example, Adobe recently brought Photoshop to the web browser with these two technologies, which seems unthinkable with React.

Sure. Because people overwhelmingly aren't relying on the security of their email; it's overwhelmingly stuff no adversary would care to read.

This "real world" link is missed (intentionally by politicians) by a majority of people because the Internet has become "the great solution". It scales, we can stay seated at our desks and still (claim to) solve crime.

Electronic communications are merely 'theory' to the physical world's 'reality'. It's like the phrase "no plan survives contact with the enemy".

The Internet only contains the symptoms. If you want to know where there are real problems that need solving in this arena, speak to some teachers - but no, children's services remain under-funded and under-staffed whilst we spend more and more on internet surveillance.

Social problems can not be solved by technology legislation.
Yes, but 2021 was an outlier on many dimensions and now the public needs an update.
Japan has a public option, although employees opt for it at the group rather than the individual level. A given company's employees choose their health insurance provider via their union/representatives, and they always have the option of the baseline national provider. (Non-employees/dependents always have public healthcare via their local government)

Why do you write like this? What's wrong with just saying "I think it's funny"?
While it might be different for some people, I believe most of what you mention are short term side effects that fade once you stop taking it.

Discontinuation syndrome I assume are the side effects when you suddenly stop. I believe those are also temporary for most people.

I've heard that EV trucks are mostly unibodies given the structure they need to protect and support the battery underneath. But I think the F-150 lightning is simple body on frame (as you said, although I think you are confused that this doesn't exist yet?), and the new Silverado EV will be neither unibody nor body on frame, whatever that means.

Just want to put it here: relational data is not a matter of someone's view, there's theory and science behind it. In fact, there's more than 40 years of theory:

https://opentextbc.ca/dbdesign01/chapter/chapter-7-the-relat...

The problem is that nowadays universities are not teaching relational algebra as part of the software Engineering courses. And thus students dont grasp the reasons why relational databases are how they are.
That's actually one of my issues with atomic rockets, some of its conclusions are a bit....massaged to ensure the end result it wants in terms of space combat even if it doesn't super make sense. As an example, even as an undergrad in physics the definitiveness of 'no stealth in space' struck me as implausible given what I knew about long range detection mechanisms.

http://toughsf.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-hydrogen-steamer-ste...

Very straight forward solution one person came up with, I'm sure there are dozens of other approaches to achieve the same result. Especially if you put military level budgets into figuring this out.

The most logical form of space combat is, as boring as it sounds, undetectable suicide drones. Space battleships are both super cool sounding and also alas probably utterly impractical.

Edit:

"In terms of military tactics, introducing stealth ships is the equivalent of punching a hornet's nest. The standard fare of bright, bold warships pumping out gigawatts without care, streaking across the Solar System laden with weapons, are forced to become meek and paranoid affairs, as a stealth ship can dump a thousand tons of weapons out of nowhere, at any time."

As an aside, this is something I wish scifi writers understood - don't include stealth ships in your stories without recognizing how they change the mechanics of war completely.

> there were steep drops that did not show up on my topographic map
If you have distributed concurrent data streams that exhibit coherent temporal events, than at some point you pretty much have to implement a queuing balancer.

One simply trades latency for capacity and eventual coherent data locality.

Its almost a arbitrary detail whether you use Kafka, RabbitMQ, or Erlang channels. If you can add smart client application-layer predictive load-balancing, than it is possible to cut burst traffic loads by a magnitude or two. Cost optimized Dynamic host scaling is not always a solution that solves every problem.

Good luck out there =)
> Flash shouldn't have died.

The only way this could ever have been possible is if a widely-available and -adopted Flash runtime was made that was ironclad in security and reasonably performant. Ideally, it would also have been open-source.

Honestly, while I absolutely sympathize with you and people who share your feelings on Flash, I genuinely believe that its demise was better for the web, especially given that Adobe very clearly had either no interest in or no ability to make such a runtime. With Flash dead, there was huge impetus to make reasonably open and widely-accepted standards for more explicit layout, animation, and other kinds of presentation on the web—and now we have that! It may not reproduce absolutely everything Flash did (particularly on highly Flash-specific sites like Newgrounds, where you're guaranteed to have people trying to push the boundaries of the medium), but it does reproduce the vast majority of what Flash was actively used for on the web in general.

Like, my God, do you remember the restaurants that used Flash just to do simple mouseover drop-down menus? Do you really think that kind of bullshit should still be done in Flash?
