I think this is an important point. Culture plays a huge part in the decision making process. Good security generally starts from an organizational acknowledgement that security is important. Everyone has deadlines and budgets so you must actively prioritize what will actually make the cut.
Agreed, Flash is great for multimedia. That is largely why it is still so widely used. I just don't prefer it over security which is why it is blocked for me by default ;)
This is great. Reading (and maintaining, refactoring, improving, etc.) obtuse code is often much more difficult than a fresh slate. Its also a major real world requirement. Where is that statistic on number of engineers doing maintenance vs greenfield development?
I know this was a major factor in joining the company I work at currently. They were quick, they didn't waste my time, they were open and answered questions that I usually would have to push back to get info for.
Is it possible that a regular time series could have better read performance (particularly in aggregations) vs an irregular one due to determinism/randomness - or is that irrelevant to the underlying implementation?
1. Node is not a language it is an implementation of a language, so the title would really be TCL vs JS or Dandelion vs Node...
2. In which case you would be opened up not only to performance benchmarks but usability, simplicity, and features - whether you are talking about the language or the implementation.
That being said, I have nothing against your opinions or work though and understand that your implementation is also from 2008 :)
"In aerospace if you launch a vehicle, you can’t go fix it,” James says. “It’s 10,000 miles in the air by the time you realize something’s wrong!" - And I think that I get nervous during deployments...
Most of aerospace lives in a 6mo-1year time between deployements/launches. And then Elon and SpaceX "deploy" every week or two it seems, absolutely blows the mind how they are going about it.
On a related note, I think depending on ad revenues is not such a sustainable practice. Its a feast or famine strategy and eventually a lot of businesses are going to realize that. Targeted marketing improves this, but the greater the noise, the more our brains learn to ignore it. Subscription or sponsorship models are a tougher sell but provide more loyalty and consistency for free content.
