If Microsoft, like Apple with iOS, makes Flash a second class citizen on the web, web builders will think twice before using Flash for something on a page that can be easily done without Flash. I'm all in favour of this!
Kudos MS. Windows 8 could be the first time I want to switch from Mac OS X, not really because of this no-flash thing, but because MS is finally focusing on making a usable UI, instead of a candy thing like Vista/7 and ditching Win32 is something that was long overdue. | null | 0 | 1316081585 | False | 0 | c2k130a | t3_kgb4h | null | t1_c2k130a | t3_kgb4h | null | 1427602872 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

It's a terrible negative stigma on their brand. No developers will trust it nearly as much anymore. I wouldn't have dared trust Silverlight when it was introduced, and I'm glad I didn't waste any time with it. Regardless of how advanced you might think it is, it failed.

True | pozorvlak | null | > API is discoverable and predictable while the problems you point to is really caused by a lack of any formal API or documentation.
Hahaha. No. Concrete example: a couple of days ago, I sat down to write a git extension. Git is a very hackable system; it's also a very well-documented system. I have a reasonably good grasp of how it works under the hood, at least in general terms. The actual algorithm I wanted to implement is *very* simple; if I ever finish this thing I reckon it will come out to under 50 lines of code, and I could describe its operation in maybe three sentences and a simple diagram.
What actually happened? Well, I spent the next few hours reading documentation! By the end of the afternoon I'd learned a lot, and had written the core of my program, but it was nowhere near complete. And the hard part wasn't expressing the algorithm - that was easy - it was extracting the data I needed. | null | 0 | 1316083796 | False | 0 | c2k16df | t3_kgbzq | null | t1_c2k16df | t1_c2k11rx | null | 1427602912 | 4 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

If you think this isn't a risk, then you should read up on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO-Linux_controversies . SCO was a company which suddenly decided to turn around and sue all its own customers for all they could. Which Microsoft deliberately funded to continue the litigation, btw.

its not a legacy app, and won't be for many years to come. to consider it as such would mean that most websites have moved away from flash/ax. this is simply an unrealistic expectation. flash will be around for, and companies use custom activex controls, more than you might think. flash isn't just a 'video player', it also animates and scripts raster/vector graphics and is often used for web-based games that can't be done in JS, or for applications where there is simply no alternative available. i'm sure html5 can accomplish *most* of these functions, but not all of them, so something else will have to fill that gap before we can retire flash/activex or other plugins. | null | 0 | 1316084989 | False | 0 | c2k1896 | t3_kgb4h | null | t1_c2k1896 | t1_c2k124o | null | 1427602937 | -8 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
True | pozorvlak | null | While code == math, cod*ing* the activity also involves the practical skill of getting that code into a computer.

When did you last use trigonometry? And when did you last encounter a repetitive process that could be automated? The class of "problems that can be attacked with logic" is indeed larger than the class of "problems that can be attacked with automation" (while all maths is code, it's not all code that can run on a Turing machine...), but in order to learn the *habit* of attacking problems with logic, kids need examples of real-world problems where their logical skills are helpful. | null | 0 | 1316085034 | True | 0 | c2k18bv | t3_kgbzq | null | t1_c2k18bv | t1_c2k15xk | null | 1427602936 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
