I was amazed that the site still runs, apparently still using the same engine.

But it seems that it was a flash site (of course), and archive.org seems to replace Flash Player with "Ruffle" [1]. Either that, or someone of Tobin's team replaced Flash with Ruffle >= 2019.

Starting a comment with «yawn» immediately shows dismissal of and disrespect for the person you're replying to.

TIL. https://plugins.jenkins.io/blueocean/

   Blue Ocean status

   Blue Ocean will not receive further functionality updates. 
   Blue Ocean will continue to provide easy-to-use Pipeline visualization, but it will not be enhanced further. It will only receive selective updates for significant security issues or functional defects.

> Be specially careful when installing their extension pack, as it is an evaluation license.

Our company was targeted by Oracle Sales because they detected mere _downloads_ from our IP range. They couldn't prove any installations, but of course wanted the company to pay for commercial licenses.

Im not sure about the details, but in the end I think we bought a couple of licences & then blocked all URLs for the extension pack company-wide.

This works great for password resets.

It does not work if you actually want to send emails, for instance notifications.

I did not and can't downvote, no I have no stake in this.

That said, in my opinion people working in such a workplace reading a post "Why “go nuts, show nuts” doesn’t work in 2022" should be savvy enough to not click links, or read the post in the first place.

Also, ironically, the fact that we have to mark such links (to Wikipedia!) as NSFW is exactly what this particular comment chain is about, no?

Two days ago, I've tried to create an account tied only to an email. During account creation, the wizard suddenly inserted an additional step and required my to enter a phone number.

I realise though that this is possibly an anti-spam measure (which I'm in favour of), since I've connected through Tor when creating the account. But this procedure stands in stark contrast to the advise given in the article.

We use Quill, too, we only need rudimentary features, though.

Its maintenance status is... questionable, although my information is out of date (see last paragraph).

* Github: https://github.com/quilljs/quill/ * It's latest release was 2019-09-09 – which is _ages_ in term of a JS library. * There's tons of open issues, the maintainer was (or still is) rather quiet. * It's pretty much a one-man-show. Although now that I look at it, the last few months a second contributor appeared. * Apparently there is a v2 in the works, but nobody know when it is due nor what its status is. * There were issue that asked whether the project was abandoned. The issues went unanswered, and then were deleted.

To be fair: development seems to have picked up again. There were sporadic commits at the end of 2021, and I now see that there are a few this year, too.

My guess is that the graphical designers are to blame for this – and of course whatever PM signed off on that.

Roman Mars taught me that – well Ted Kaye, but Roman taught me in his seminal TED talk [1].

While I can understand their reasons for shutting Upsource down, I think the very same reason will prevent users from migrating to their preferred tool-suite ("Space" [1]): users of Upsource very likely already _have_ existing tools for hosting repositories, communicating, issue tracking, etc. It seems strange to me to expect people would abandon their existing toolchain in favour of Space, just to keep using Upsource.

> and are financially secure.

This is the key point. I can imagine being a farmer is a lot more nerve wracking if e.g. bad whether destroys your year's harvest – for the third time in a row.

If you're financially secure, any job is less stressful, regardless whether you're self employed or not.
