@streakmachine It has rained continuously for about a week here. The rain stopped yesterday afternoon, and it will resume in today afternoon. Have to enjoy this temporary disruption while it lasts.
@matigo Aye. Dependencies can simplify things a lot, but there is also the possibility of risks [martiancraft.com] that you don't have control over.

@streakmachine Well, VR, the national railway company here in Finland and for whom I currently work, requires Flash when one goes to reserve the seat for a ticket. They are working on non-Flash alternative1 but that won't happen soon enough for the end users.

I am integrating that to the app I am working on.
@matigo Has that prevented anyone to use it since then? No…
I know a major Finnish TV broadcasting company that required Silverlight not that long ago. It seems that they have stopped using it now.

@matigo Once they hear that Adobe Flash has reached its EOL, they will port their shit to Silverlight.

I survived1. They just cleaned up the hole and filled it again. The left side of my head is still numb. Let's see when I can go to have some lunch. I haven't eaten much since yesterday's dinner 17 hours ago.
Actually, I was at work already over an hour ago, but didn't have time to update the status until now.
