I'd heard about these before, but never tried them since I assumed there would be some case in which they didn't work, and it would be enough to be a deal-breaker.

But after reading this sub-thread, I decided to give it ago, and I've been absolutely blown away, such a pleasurable experience!

I've started using Feedbin for my RSS feeds lately, which makes great use of vim-bindings, and I've enjoyed using that site more than any other partly for that reason. Now I get that on every site - and as a bonus, adding an exception (so that I could continue using Feedbin's bindings) was easy.

The only thing that seems to be missing is a way to edit large text fields (like this one) in vim-mode. Though I understand there are separate plugins people swear by for that, so perhaps they work in conjunction, I'll have to explore that next.

I wish you were right, but the market has decided that the web is the next cross-platform framework.

If this has to happen, let's make it work in a way that doesn't let the stupidest ideas survive. Using WA still requires JS to interact with the user. Which is far better than the monstrosities that JS is being forced to perform at the moment.

Some simple, relatively sane things that WA can do, but JS is a bad choice for:

* Client-side encryption/decryption

* Socket management
I think your concern for privacy has no respect for the individual accomplishment. Facebook, like many other for-profit organizations, will always monetizing user data. You have the choice of not using it. The outcome of their research has impact from environmental to computer science. You may disagree how a for-profit should run, but I respect the people who work there performing top tier research. You'd think all of the DoD research grants are less sinister? Perhaps we should never accept any grants from the DoD so none of them goes into military action based on your sentiment of social responsibility.
> I see blog posts all the time about how a programmer's job is more thinking than writing code and/or writing good programs is also about taking out just as much code as you put in.

It becomes a lot more debatable when you're modifying existing code (rather than writing new code).

There are actually lots of cases when the thinking takes a small fraction of the typing, e.g "this block should be extracted as a separate method", "this class needs to be renamed", "this interface should be split" ... or, even more obvious "this file needs to be properly indented".

We have automatic tools for some of these operations, precisely because doing them manually might spend a ridiculous amount of programming time.
The new web needs to be distributed in a privacy-preserving sense. Today, you can't realistically browse the web without getting identified and – generally speaking – geolocated.

What we need is a model where you pull information you request from distributed and diverse pools of public domain content.

The sense I get from him is that he enjoys storytelling, and the stories should not be mistaken for literal truth.
Case in point in north Texas: Witness the staggering difference between the specialty hospitals that have cropped up like weeds over the past decade (many of them are clustered around the larger hospitals in places like Plano and Denton) versus, say, the public and not-for-profit hospitals that must take all comers.

Most of these specialty hospitals oh-so-carefully do not offer "Emergency Services" (as in, they don't staff a room called an "emergency room" even though they, conveniently, have an ambulance bay and are staffed 24/7) so they don't have to accept Medicare or several of the known-to-pay-on-the-low-side private insurance plans.

Meanwhile, Parkland, JPS, Baylor, and UTSW get to deal with the "cast-offs" who have no other choice.
Trading on margin!? In the most topped out market ever. You do realize that you pay interest on your margin. And when the market drops (the most likely outcome these days), your losses are magnified.

W. Buffet recommends that investors not buy on margin.

Also... ETFs are newish and rather untested at their current saturation levels. You are blindly buying a stock based on it's capitalization. This defeats the purpose of the market, which is to crowd source the balancing of supply & demand.

ETFs create a pyramid scheme out of the market. It will work for a while, but near the top (now) you better get your money out.

I think you should read what top hedge fund managers are doing these days. You will be hard pressed to find one that is all in + margin to the overall index fund. Many have significant short positions and a lot of cash.

Your blog post is just another link in the pyramid scheme nature of the whole thing. (I can do it.. so can you!)
ETFs are stupid. You are blindly buying a stock based on it's capitalization. This defeats the purpose of the market, which is to crowd source the balancing of supply & demand.

ETFs create a pyramid scheme out of the market. It will work for a while, but near the top you better get your money out. At some point others will. These days, with computer trading, that 40% drop may happen faster than 100 ms.
And yet they are still running trains from the 1970s which appear to not have been cleaned (let alone been renovated) since.
So over the next 85 years we're expecting a rise of 2-10m based on current warming with the low end hoping that we maintain only 2c by the end of the century, which currently seems unlikely. Follow the link at the bottom and ask yourself what the US is going to do without Florida, or how much the dams across the Golden Gate (and Houston, New York, DC, Shanghai, London) are going to cost to prevent the inundation of Sacramento and the destruction of California farming.

We're ignoring poor places like Bangladesh with a population of 200Mil (or Indonesia with 1Bil), which will likely be largely depopulated.

I'm now going to past text I used in an earlier comment:
_Florida is porous. You can build walls but they don't do much. The water will rise to cover the entire peninsula. Long before that tides and storm surge will destroy all of the surface roads to coastal cities. I personally wouldn't lend money there for longer than 30years._

Sanity is a legal definition, not a psychological one. People often forget that even the mentally-damaged act with reason and logic. This rationality may not be accessible to a bystander, but is present regardless.

I see the article as making a distinction without a difference. Kubrick was perfectly clear in his presentation of HAL's motives. There were a few points of interest, like the chess game, which I missed when I watched the film, but the 'theory' is how I viewed HAL's actions the whole time.
I have this in my .vimrc which serves a similar purpose:

" persist undo history to file / across sessions
set undofile
set undodir=$HOME/.vimundo
" max out history length
set history=9999
set undoleves=9999999999
set undoreload=10000

(Don't forget to mkdir "$HOME/.vimundo".)

Combine that with https://github.com/mbbill/undotree and you can easily walk the entire history of every file you edit.
> you are hiring a professional with proper track record

The statement is somewhat of an oxymoron. A professional with a proven track record wouldn't be interviewing to manage your money - with the current cost of the capital they would raise a small hedge fund, stay out of public life and keep most of their track record to themselves, being occasionally portrayed as "reclusive" billionaires, e.g. Renaissance Technologies.

I concur, though, using a financial advisor is good for diversification and as a second set of eyes on private or any convoluted deals, but anybody asking for your money in order to bring untold riches is manipulating people.
The default HTML form experience is still way better than a black page. I don't see the form really needing any more functionality than that.
Opera mail is my default client now. I've used basically every client in existence, had to switch from Linux to windows so mutt wasn't an option.

Might explain why I don't get many recruiters attempting to contact me. Back when AngularJS was the big thing, I'd get bombarded on LinkedIn. Now, having only non-commercial experience with React and refusing to list it on my resume, I'm mostly ignored.
Now are recruiters to blame or the companies that hire them?
I think you make a good point, and I wish I'd taken advantage. My brother, who makes $12/hr, took his entire savings in March '09 and invested in commodities. He saw massive growth, while I bought toys and had fun. I made no money, and learned a good lesson.
I think I will get downvotes for this but I have an honest question.
Why does it matter if the rich become richer?
I am by no mean a rich guy, I just don't see how it can impact my life or be bad for other people if a few of us have a lot of money (doesn't matter how they get it. I'm not talking about money from illegal activities).
They still have to use it, thus contribute back to the economy.

> But your politics and attitudes towards work, workers and their rights is abhorrent and disgusting.

Because the government providing anything for you is seen as a form of welfare or regulation that "kills jobs."

Never mind that any senior in the US benefits hugely from Social Security and Medicare, making any proposed reform of those programs nearly political suicide. Just look at efforts to raise the retirement age if you think I'm kidding.

So, not to sound like a whiney millennial, but the older generation already has programs which are quite socialist. However some Americans have still been duped into believing the "American dream" applies to them (it probably did if you were male and white in the 1950s) and thus anything that helps other people is "socialism" or "government overreach"

Nevermind that the Republicans will happily reach into bedrooms (abortion) and bathrooms (transgender rights) to affect people's life.

It's a complete farce to watch this unfolding in the US from Canada. Yeah, our healthcare isn't perfect, I don't think anyone said it was, but I don't have to worry about bankruptcy if I go to the hospital. Nor do I have to worry about politicians fucking me over w.r.t. healthcare.

I like to argue that you can start off using PHP as a scripting language with a single index.php file, then maybe learn to use some of the simple frameworks like Slim (though even that has become more complicated recently), then move from that to Symfony or the like. This is a point the original author misses. If you introduce beginners in PHP to Symfony and SPAs from the start obviously they're going to have a bad time.
> I often set the bar so high there is no chance I could ever finish. The only projects that are attractive and shiny enough are those that are too big to finish.

This reminds of a chapter in "Computer Power and Human Reason" where Joseph Weizenbaum describes the differences between compulsive programmers and professionals.

> His main interest is, in any case, not in small programs, but in very large, very ambitious systems of programs. Usually the systems he undertakes to build, and on which he works feverishly for perhaps a month or two or three, have very grandiose but extremely imprecisely stated goals. [...] It is characteristic of many such projects that the programmer can long continue in the conviction that they demand knowledge about nothing but computers, programming, etc. And that knowledge he, of course, commands in abundance. Indeed, the point at which such work is often abandoned is precisely when it ceases to be purely incestuous, i.e., when programming would have to be interrupted in order that knowledge from outside the computer world may be acquired.
I hesitate to throw out this quote because it may come across as a "hot take" but I think that John Steinbeck said it best:

"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

Another quote I've heard is that "extremists become more extreme, not less, as problems come closer to solutions."

"Socialism" and "extremists" don't really apply but the sentiments do. Unions sprang up in the United States as a counterweight to outright and absolute worker abuse. Things we--those resident in the U.S.--now take as "absolute," like child labor laws and the 40-hour workweek, were earned as a result of those early struggles.

We've had it really good here for really long, comparatively, so I think that a lot of people see these kinds of abuses as "won't happen to me"-ism so they're not interested in sacrificing even a little to ensure that the abuses happen to virtually[0] no one.

Going back to unions, a lot of people I know--in the IT industry, obviously--flatly refuse to recognize that a union could be a good thing because jobs, salaries, and opportunities are all plentiful. We're not "abused" because employers know that we can just hop jobs and recover. (Never mind things like the gaming industry or the "crunch" period or, say, Uber.) Because of the illusion of choice, unions aren't valued. (I say "illusion" because witness what happened in the doldrums of the early 2000s. When every employer, or even a bunch of large employers, pull back at the same time, there is no choice.)

For others, things like unions or some form of collective action or even just "group health care run by the government" are seen as impinging on the basic rights to shoot--metaphor intentionally chosen--our own feet off however we like, consequences be damned because other countries are just wrong and the United States is a Special Snowflake.

Or something like that but maybe with a little less bite.

0 - I say virtually because people will always find a way to take advantage of others but there's a lot to be said for pushing to prevent that as much as possible. America doesn't seem to do that very much.
>>I've met so many bright & creative programmer types who even believe this.

I would posit that they aren't very bright if they actually believe it.
Not 100% decided exactly which. But expect the most popular ones. More info will come :)
> These days, with computer trading, that 40% drop may happen faster than 100 ms

There are circuit breakers that trigger at 7%, 13% and 20% right? Now, I don't know if they are tested against HFT these days, but I would suspect they could rollback trades if needed. Also, there is Rule 48[1] to help.

Mounting host directory in a container is quite the popular approach. n almost every development tutorials I have read using Docker mentions this approach.
Except it is simple:

<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World</title>
</head>
<body>
Hello World
</body>
</html>

It's responsive, works on every HTML-compatible platform and is even backwards compatible to a degree that none of the other aforementioned solutions even comes close.

We make it more complicated for ourselves because we choose to make it more complicated. I'm not against modern frameworks but quite often I see people justifying them rather than using them when they become a requirement.

Worse yet, I'm often disappointed by the number of web developers I've worked along side recently that haven't understood how data is serialised in HTTP response and request headers (so they inappropriately use GET and POST methods), don't know even the basic few HTTP status codes, don't understand browser caching, etc and I end up having to handhold them through the basics while they're advocating complex frontend frameworks because "it does the logic for you" (or similar arguments).

This isn't a dig at all web developers by any means. I'm talking about a minority here. But it's a trend I've observed growing and I do think there is a correlation between the rise in popularity of bloated abstractions and the number of inexperienced developers using them as a crutch for their lack of understanding about the core principles of the web. The problem is the moment something misbehaves they're completely incapable of effectively problem solving it. And in the era of everything being a web browser, we have more low end devices than ever that we need to support - which often gets neglected when you have developers constantly opting for their shiny new toys resulting in cumulative page sizes of megabytes just to display "Hello World!".

So going back to my original point; yes I do think it can be simple to set up the kind of cross platform support you describe. I think it's often us who choose to make it complicated for ourselves. Often far more complicated than it ever needs to be.
I think this is a realistic reflection of one side of the industry. There are still some that I know who don't use 70% of what's mentioned but still run a profitable business in website development. Sometimes I think they're the more productive ones that don't comment on HN posts :)
How well would it work with technical or specific jargon? (Anatomy and medical terminology, in our specific use-case)

Is there a way to feed some kind of (text) dictionary to aid recognition? Or does it also need audio samples to learn from?

Elimination of rent-seeking and all sibling offenses.

Someone can buy a property in a growing region and then sit on it and do nothing while it gains value. The fact that it is doing nothing may even drive the price up more, because it reduces supply in that region by not making itself available.

The owner is allowed to refuse to sell at any price, which again means they can make money just by sitting on their scarce asset.

Same for corporate stock really. And for things like gold and bitcoin.

A better system imo would require active bidding on scarce resources. If you are not generating wealth with your resource, someone can take it from you by outbidding the amount of taxes you are paying for it. This forces people to apply their capital and makes it harder to just sit on scarce resources and accumulate wealth.

Because lending to them (as the Gov and Banks do) causes their wealth and US money supply to increase while your income remains relatively constant. That causes things they value (healthcare, education, real estate) to increase in price faster than the majority of people can afford to buy them.

So yes their wealth and buying power affects you and everyone else economically.
They don't need to be. But using channels for message passing instead of actors makes performance difficult.

I used to think people on this forum were smart..

Firstly certain plants do have vitamin d. But that wasn't my point.

Secondly, and more importantly you are forgetting that there is synergy between different vitamins,hormones,etc. Having vitamin d deficiency doesn't necessarily mean all you need to do is bump up your vit d.

Thirdly, he found out it was magnesium, not vit d. Curiously, there are interactions between the two.

Go do some research on fasting, calorie restriction, angiogenesis, inflammation, ketones, microbiota, etc

Or better yet, go get some real world experience and stop reading so much. There's such a thing as trying to be overly scientific and missing the forest for the trees.

Science is of course right, but so many people on this forum overapply it thinking they are so clever. They miss obvious insights.

It's a part of being young I guess.

Or you could just say "please back up your arguments for me because I am too lazy to use my own brain to think."
