I wish that guy would take a hike... As for his comment, well, let's see him come up with a markup language standard that appeases every vendor while supporting every aspect of media delivery for users.
That's not an easy task. Say what you want about the consortium, but what they did in the amount of time they did it in is rather impressive... These things are done in baby steps--but their efforts delivered more than this.
Just because HTML5 might have wrinkles to iron out doesn't mean that it's a failed endeavor. Rather, it means that the browsers, companies behind said browsers, and the users have created a massive cluster of epic proportions. The consortium is just trying to make everything more accessible while accommodating for everyone. Again, not an easy task at all.
Is that all you have? I mean, is that your thing? Nothing but a bunch of baseless crap responses meant to stoke your ego and act as a smokescreen to hide the fact that you can't overcome your pride and admit to knowing nothing about a system you accuse of being a mess?
Instead of being another petulant little visitor of this website who goes around and leaves a mess of their own, why not shut the hell up and ask mature questions about the issues you struggled with prior when you used Drupal (or any other system even)? Maybe that way, you can get your head out of your ass long enough to learn something that can help you have better replies on here?
If it's not some injection attack, it's going to be something else in the future... Where's the line?
Since no standards exist in this field--none that remain static for longer than a year--how can anyone really expect anyone else to pass someone's muster when it comes to issues that are mostly relative in nature.
After all, I suspect that nobody here is as good as I am when it comes to securing input forms. Ap pro po, you should all be fired from your jobs.
Sony = negligent.
Idiot Punks = willful act.
Is there really an argument at this point? We all know both should be reprimanded but the *real* criminals here would undoubtedly be the jerks who did whatever they did to extract that data Sony had.
I can vouch for this: I learned the moonwalk in my sleep back when I was about 12 or 13. Up to that point, I had no idea how to do it. Minor example, I know, but it's true.
Ah but we're not talking about being sued for personal values or relative constructs. We're talking about being sued for code that simply doesn't work (for whatever reasons).
Personally, I think the M$ argument about this is perfect and should be a closed case at this point. I don't, however, believe this article was stupid. Not everything knows about this kind of stuff despite popular (egomaniac)/. mentality.
1 out of every 3 seasoned veterans of any field or discipline will eventually be viewed upon as a "hack" by his or her peers.
So I'm not so sure your idea is very sound...
Just because managers hire employees doesn't mean they're in 100% control of who they hire. Managers have supervisors just like everyone else. They have deadlines, too. Besides that, I'm not so sure it's wise to assume that just because you're the one hiring that you somehow control whether you hire talented developers. Last but not least, just because you have a talented pack doesn't mean they either work together well or acclimate to the technologies clientele require servicing with. Same with new hires, too: out of 200 applicants, a manager who hires the one that screened best doesn't imply automatic success because too many moving parts occupy the context.
Long story short, it's not all on the manager's shoulders just like it's not all the fault of the developers, clients, etc.
All this article is about is some whiny asshole trying to point his fat, stubby finger at someone because he made a bad decision. They're angry, they're pissed, and now someone has to pay their bill. That's all this boils down to.
Whiny complaint? Perhaps. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
More on point, I would much rather go back to the 80s. Granted, I wasn't very old in those days so I'm sure proportional miseries can be brought to light. It's just that I seem to recall people being more generally able to handle other peoples' opinions better back then. I believe music was also better, too, with the big hair bands, new wave; whatever. Good times.
People keep losing their identity due to *how* computers have pushed society's evolution. We're all numbers now but not because that's how authorities preferred it. It's done out of necessity. There's simply too many people on earth anymore and the use of computers is always seen as a means to match this. Obviously, this bleeds down into our everyday jobs and because of this, is always taken a step further--especially by those who have no understanding of what some people are expected to do with their machines (i.e. - developers).
Point being here is that this "extra work" is nothing new... Unfortunately. It has nothing to do with BYOD and everything to do with seeing people as tools instead of individuals.
...heaven forbid we actually do anything about it that's worth more than some blog post.
It's like everything is in a bad dream anymore where you're watching yourself trying to run away from something but can't because for some reason, your legs just don't move as fast as they can.
If someone wants to use the same password for every website, he / she should be able to without fear of having their information stolen. If some organization or company decides to make your personal information accessible through the internet, who are you (or anyone else for that matter) to tell any other person what password to use to access this information?
If someone can't use the same password for multiple websites / applications / whatever, then it's clear to me that passwords are antiquated.
What's there to debate again? And if you take the pragmatist's side of the road on this, then your entire point is moot before it leaves your brain because the pragmatist would see that while using a unique password may increase the likelihood of having secure information, it doesn't eliminate risks entirely, no matter how strong the password(s) is/are.
We're reaching a point in all this where passwords just don't pass muster anymore, especially when there's no standard password input form across multiple websites. It's a joke and what's even funnier is how people are blaming that guy for using the same password across different websites--something, of which, I'd love to know how everyone became privy to, by-the-way...
I'm not so sure you can have a limit with detail right now, however, it seems as if the other details surrounding game design have been overshadowed by these visual intricacies. After all, if you come to a point where you begin to question the level of visual details, you will likely come to the conclusion that it's probably because you can't select certain things in the world due to poorly designed selection vectors or because the game is using antiquated controllers, etc.
For example, there have been many times in Skyrim where you'll come to a point of trying to pick something up only to realize that you need to position the mouse or pointer in a specific spot just to be ensured of clicking on the right thing (i.e. - a bunch of weapons on some table but having a hard time picking up the one you really want; it's not the graphics' fault, right?)
I think we're coming close to reaching a point in all this where the keyboards, mice, and various controllers just won't cut it anymore.
We need VR headsets and some gloves!
I'd never gripe about Skyrim's graphics. They're beautiful. The thing that's missing is full immersion and you just can't get that with the controllers we have now...
From every Java project I've ever worked on, I always found myself thinking, "...PHP can do that."
Can it do it better, though? Not sure. I lack the experience to make that determination. All I know is that I have yet to be given anything that PHP can't do that Java can. Not saying either-or is better here because we all know that these sensationalistic stories boil down to what's required for a given project.
If it works, use it. Let's not have anymore of these stupid civil wars for crying out loud. There's more than enough clientele for us all.:.)
Creating multi million dollar conglomerates during work hours with nothing more than a tinkering mindset and an uninstallable IDE aside, I think he's safe...
And for whatever it's worth, any employer (who employs IT professionals) that has a conniption fit over someone trying to improve their skillets isn't worth working for anyway and only goes to show how little they truly understand about the IT field.

Yet another comment / response that it full of empirical data.

What makes you think it's stupid? I mean, after all, your response reeks of empirical rationale and conclusive examples...

If that works for you, fine. What if that doesn't work for everyone else?
Fair enough, but do you have anything to propose that could help with the issue being discussed?
