Nowadays, everything is considered racist.

EDIT: See what I mean?

You shouldn't expose such information and I will not reply.

Again, if you are going to follow Microsoft as a leader, you're following the wrong dog. Never, EVER, use Microsoft browsers as a reference.

In 30 years of working in electronics and software, I have never been sent on an interview, or even contacted by an employer, through any recruiter, despite getting weekly calls from them all these years and rising through the ranks of these industries in medium sized companies.

"Adobe on Wednesday said it will no longer push its Flash software format for use in the browser programs that come with smartphones and tablet computers. Instead, Adobe will increase its support for HTML5, a collection of technologies backed by Apple and others such as Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp."

Never, EVER use a Microsoft browser as a reference for how things should work!

As far as Adobe is concerned, they stopped development of Flash on mobile and recommends switching to HTML5 video/audio so don't think Adobe is still head over heels about Flash.

If someone can find an out, someone on HN will find it.

You're talking about tools that have broken. We're talking about tools that work as advertised.

Edge is IE12. They forked the Trident engine to remove all the legacy stuff. Otherwise, everything else is the same and gets the same new stuff that IE12 would have. No different.

To blame your tool when you don't use it correctly is a typical fallacy found on forums everywhere. You blame the car for your accident, your parents for being in jail, the hammer for breaking your thumb.

Hmm. As an assembly language programmer, electronic engineer, who was forced into learning this new "high level language" by our MIT educated boss, decades ago, I can assure you that we were neither beginners nor students as we created the product most likely used on you and yours in hospitals everywhere.

C doesn't have any problems just because you use it poorly. The only thing with a problem would be the coder.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Do you think these tests were created and maintained for free? Do you think the certification process happens on its own? Do you think there is no value in the whole Unix standard is stagnant, none-changing, and never reviewed or updated? And it all happens without cost? Do you think no one pays any attention to that?

Some guy had a problem with his Nest Protect. Why did someone rush to put this on HN? Will we need to hear about his car problems, too?

OSX is not "based on" Unix. OSX IS Unix: http://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/brand3607.htm

Who creates what you see on the App Store? Who wrote all that and designed it? Who wrote the code for the App Store? Are you saying no professional sales people were involved in this? How does anyone in the world know when a new item shows up in the App Store? Who pays for all those ads you see on TV and in magazines and online?

Anyone who thinks the cost of selling software is remotely near zero should be ignored. Ads need to be produced and thought up and salesmen need to be paid and packaging still must be done and and someone has to be in charge of all that, along with all the people beneath him.

My problem with this article and its statement is that it's saying to "sunset" C/C++ because it causes problems but the problems are caused by an incompetent user, not C.

I see so many articles complaining about C letting you shoot yourself in the foot but no one who would shoot themselves in the foot should be handling a gun.

"You know you wouldn't have so many splatters on that painting, Mr. Pollock, if you would just let a computer handle that brush for you!"

Which emphasizes my point. There are few places where C's strength is not prevalent and its weaknesses won't kill you.

Niche? C and Java are the most used languages in the world!

Becoming widespread? Outside the desktop, the most commonly used operating system is Unix and its "likes" and dominates the internet and mobile devices.

If by "tools" you mean "user" then, yes, you are correct. This author is a tool.

In French, your first line would be, "Oh, hell no!"

Hmm. I've been doing this for years on my server. Why is this needed if you know how to code? I don't understand.

On top of that, they want you to pay to use their "cloud service"?

ISIS, and other terrorist groups, encode all their data and use TOR in an effort to hide from efforts to catch them so, yes, encryption is used for that.

The info on the phone could indicate who he spoke to last and potentially who he met with when he was killed.

Your argument is weak if you think this has happened only once and will rarely happen again.

I wonder if the guy who was killed said the same thing.

The point is, the murders might be solved if they had access to the phone's data.

In the article, it shows NBC News, which is "a sprawling news site covering dozens of topics".

They turned me into a newt!
