I spent all of 2022 being perpetually one to three months behind on No Agenda, and I found that this was actually a great way to listen to it. listening to analysis of world events a good month or so after they occurred was fascinating. sometimes I would be listening to an episode from two months ago and hear mention of something that was happening in the present (SBF & FBX, as an example). other times I would hear the hosts discuss a seemingly major news story that had, by the time I was listening, already be long-since forgotten.
I just finished #1500 and I'm probably going to be all caught up in the coming weeks what with holiday travel and all but yeah if anyone else wants to listen to NA but is overwhelmed with the amount of content they put out each week, I can't recommend listening a few months behind enough, for the additional dimension of interesting perspective it gives.
also, unrelated, but Hoteps BEEN Told You is another great listen, however most here will find it to be quite the acquired taste. (disclaimer: I made a website for them.)
This [1] article mentions that Trump signed executive order 13873 [2] in May 2019 which could be used to force Apple and Google to remove it from their app stores.
Kind-of, but you write webapps as if you were writing desktop apps: widgets, layouts, etc.
Wt can be compiled to its own webserver (which you would use directy if on an embedded device oruse behind a reverse-proxy for other cases), or you can compile it to a FastCGI module you can run with Apache.
This guy may have gotten Perl out of his part of the JP Morgan world, but JP Morgan still actively uses Perl. It’s not as big as it once was, but there are teams still developing and deploying Perl.
This is what I figured. My experience of SW development at a merchant bank is siloed teams using their own development tools to support their banking operations. There was never a company wide mandate on using/not using some technology.
That's not the case in JP Morgan. Development is very centralized.
There are like 3 to 6 major platforms used inside of JP Morgan, depending how you count (the oldest one is deprecated and being migrated away which will never complete, while the newest one is nowhere near working and will not have anything running for a long time).
The largest one regroups maybe 30% of all the developers and developments in the firm.
The Perl system was underlying on of these platforms, and has clients for use in all other platforms, so it was quite ingrained across the entire company really.
Reminds me of a quote from the Learning Perl book:
"There's a joke among Perl developers that the next economic crash will be caused by a bug in someone's Perl script. Even then, all those redundant economists will have at least one employable skill."
No Agenda by former MTV VJ Adam Curry and former PC Mag columnist John C. Dvorak! http://www.noagendashow.com/ They do media deconstruction and discuss stories the media can’t talk about. They have no advertising and use a fascinating “Value for value” model, people donate based on the value the podcast gives them instead of monthly subscriptions (like Patreon), for some it’s $5, others it’s $500, and for some it’s $0
