If you're curious about artificial and natural flavors, "The Dorito Effect" is a great read on the topic. What blew me away: "Naturally flavored" is marketed as "healthy" when it is anything but. Natural flavors are just as bad as artificial flavors. You are adding chemicals to food to make them more palatable, but not enhancing nutrition. Those chemical compounds happen to occur in nature, but the process of isolating and extracting them then adding them back to food is just as bad as adding synthesized compounds (artificial flavors). We're so concerned with calories, but this is the real root cause of the obesity epidemic: calories without nutrition.

I think one of us has misunderstood something in this thread.

I assume that everyone wants healthcare for everyone. I mean, who would want even a stranger to suffer from disease?

The question is what is the best mechanism to make it affordable for everyone.

One answer is: give everyone more money to spend on it. The problem with that is that it drives up the cost for everyone and you may be no better off. You might be worse off.

Another solution might be to spend money on the supply (build more hospitals and train more doctors). I pick this example because it doesn't imply things like lowering taxes or spending less, so it doesn't get caught up in the budget discussion.

The criticism here is just in regards to the first solution, not in regards to providing healthcare.
They'd accept lower rents if they couldn't find other people to rent. They just don't have to in big cities.

But this isn't a rental bubble. The rents aren't really too high, they just can't keep growing above inflation rates forever.

> Wouldn't it be better to make native application

Actually there are such editors. I use vim instead of vscode or atom. And I think my installation of vim is slower then vscode because of some plugin that I've not found yet.

Applications like vscode very useful because they help to find performance and other bugs in browsers. Same way as browser improved when gmail and sites like this appeared.

I would support appearance of IDEs, large games, VR, image and video editors in browsers as they help improve web platform.

If you don't like it, just use other option. It could be faster, but may be not. Not sure that vscode is slower then visual studio for most tasks.

The SO survey (while super interesting!) conflates "most used" with "most asked about on Stack Overflow"; I'm skeptical of anyone who claims to know which programming language is the most popular. The TIOBE index, which has its own problems, has Javascript coming in 8th, with the top 4 being Java, C, C++ and C#; my experiences and my confirmation bias suggest that's more accurate.

There's an interesting New Yorker article from a few years ago that profiles some the firms and individuals involved in taste/scent making: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/11/23/the-taste-maker...
JavaScript is literally the reason I would avoid a platform. It's only the de facto language for the web because you can't directly run any other language across different browsers. With web apps being so popular, having a low barrier to entry, and being "quicker" to provide half-assed cross platform apps, it's no wonder JavaScript is technically so popular. Hopefully, web assembly or something similar can change that. But then again, web browsers weren't meant to host proper applications.

Can you elaborate on the earlier point above - what don't you like about the market positioning? (We aren't exactly going for Nespresso to Keurig, but really curious what rubs you the wrong way about that.)

Definitely won't save money compared to buying your own beans. It's the same as cooking - it's cheaper to grill a nice steak than buy one.

As a music festival goer - Sudden at festivals is about taste and speed. It tastes amazing. I usually pour it in a cold water bottle and shake it up (while in the middle of a performance) - really awesome. Definitely tastes better than festival coffee. Furthermore the coffee line at festivals is usually 30 minutes and they charge $5! This is obviously a personal pain point for me :-)

From 2009 – Much hot air over blinking cursors
https://lwn.net/Articles/317922/

Quote from the article;

> The blinking cursor causes the processor and GPU to be woken up frequently. On one of my test systems, this causes somewhere in the region of 2 Watts of extra power consumption.

This isn't about electron vs "native" apps. It's just that a smooth cursor animation rendered at 60Hz costs power; and if you look at the github issue, one config setting and that's gone, and so is the power usage when idle.
Same here. My workaround: elliptical exerciser, and a tablet with a good screen.

> Our defense and war spending is very much a black hole. I'm sorry if I fight being taxed to death in regards to this.
> Not all of us have a tiny military like your country does.

I think US defense (which is really very little defense and mostly power projection) is completely bizarre. A reasonable level would be perhaps 3% GDP which would still be huge. The Swedish military is tiny, and by GDP it's a joke (around 1%). We should be spending at least 2% and I think we will pretty soon, the way things are going now.

> I'm sorry if I fight being taxed to death in regards to this.

But are you fighting taxes or arguing that money is being spent on the wrong things? I.e. are you saying "I oppose high taxes because they just get spent on X!" whereas in most countries you'd see people say "Let's spend less of the tax money on X".

> Currently my taxes pay for NASA to stop studying climate change and for the White House family to constantly vacation and live in places other than DC.

I think a lot (most western?) countries have funding for space exploration, climate research etc. I certainly pay for ESA research just like you'd pay for NASA, and we obviously have climate research etc. I think the cost of the US presidency seems like a blank check if the president himself is able to choose where to go/stay/live.

I also pay for the living and security expenses of a prime minister. They obviously are nothing like the US expenses of the same kind - but that's because I'd vote to change that if it was too high.
Now that I'm thinking about it, my (official, ceremonial) head of state is the King. So I pay for a King to live in a castle!. I don't mind doing that though. The costs are "reasonable". Any excess is immediately causing headlines and calling for a republic...

> Worse, federal taxes are just one piece of the pie for Americans.

That's not unique to the US. Obviously in every single country of the world you have administrative divisions on various levels (cantons, counties, regions, states, ...) and often several of these administrative divisions have taxation. In Sweden i'm income taxed on 3 levels (local, regionl, national). But it's deducted in one place from my paycheck so I don't notice much. The state level taxes are also used to pay our expensive EU membership which effectively makes that a fourth level, a kind of federal spending - so my tax money is for example subsidizing farmers in eastern europe.

> I think a lot of anti-tax attitudes here in the US aren't ignorance, but a protest against a corrupt system wasting money

I realize that. But it seems like an indirect and inefficient way of protesting wars and corruption! Don't starve government, change it. Vote. If voting doesn't change anything then change that (i.e. change first-past-the-post elections, gerrymandering and all those other defects - until voting actually changes things). Especially since in the US, budget cuts tend to kill things like meals on wheels before it kills foreign wars.

Not all tech workers are 12-hour-a-day workaholics.

Why are you killing yourself at work?
Agreed. I prefer the idea of a spotlight (if not forced transparency via whistleblowers and leakers) to that of immediately "removing" certain people from society. Even now, there's an unhealthy attraction (on both sides of the spectrum) to immediately punishing or isolating political opponents; the "punch a Nazi in the face" meme is one such example.

When one is willing to make some exceptions for due process and established procedure for one side, there inevitably comes equal or greater abuse from the other. Case in point: the Obama Administration's use of Executive Orders to bypass Congress; such EOs were (and can be) easily revoked by the Trump Administration since none are law. What was once cheered is now condemned, with all sorts of mental gymnastics to explain the change of heart.

What Nix and Cambridge Analytica are doing may be morally repugnant, but it's not illegal. Making new laws to dictate morality and punish such offenders is absolutely not the way to go, as history has shown repeatedly.

Tokyo is a good case study for how effective selective deregulation and zoning policy can lead to more efficient housing construction.

In Minato ward — a desirable 20 sq km slice of central
Tokyo — the population is up 66 per cent over the past 20
years, from 145,000 to 241,000, an increase of about
100,000 residents. In the 121 sq km of San Francisco, the
population grew by about the same number over 20 years,
from 746,000 to 865,000 — a rise of 16 per cent. Yet
whereas the price of a home in San Francisco and London
has increased 231 per cent and 441 per cent respectively,
Minato ward has absorbed its population boom with price
rises of just 45 per cent.

The article is mistaken about one thing: the size of the financial sector is not limited by the total wealth of the world. Eg: there could be derivative contracts (insurance or derived bets) for cumulative values much more than the value of the underlying asset (arbitrarily high, in principle). This is a big factor in what makes the global financial system so fragile.

If the finance industry keeps skimming a fraction of all the money flowing through it then financial hubs like New York city and London could keep becoming more expensive.

>It would benefit them to lobby and influence city council.

Why would city council want to bring down rents? They and their cronies are profiting off the high real estate prices. The city council is, after all, composed of wealthy people who own land in the city. You can't have a city council composed of people who don't even live in the city.

>Also, powers that be love monopoly pricing but there are laws to stop monopolies.

Those laws only apply to corporations; they have nothing to do with real estate, and this isn't a monopoly situation. There isn't a single company that owns all the land, or all the apartments, in these high-priced cities. There's merely a shortage of usable land, because of geography and physics.

Basically, to fix this problem, we would need new laws at the State or Federal level, along with enforcement which would absolutely work against the wishes of these city councils. But there isn't much demand for such laws, because it's a local issue, and national-level politicians aren't going to do well trying to make it a campaign issue. Voters in rural areas just don't care about high rents in cities; they'll tell you that you just need to move out where they are and bring the high-paying jobs to their rural communities.
Thanks, so they are probably not using a contenteditable element. In that case it makes sense that they would need to use a CSS animation to blink the cursor.

> Wouldn't it be better to make native application, especially for code editors, where developers spend most of their time, where every noticeable lag and glitches are not appreciated.

I think it'd be better to improve Electron so that native applications don't have so much of an advantage. WebAssembly is a big part of that. Another useful part would be an alternative layout mode that eschews legacy HTML/CSS cruft, for more predictable and performant GUIs.

This arrogance is amusing. The only thing the web and Javascript world proved is that we are bad. In the past it was much harder to distribute crap since you needed to, you know, find and install everything. Since websites are so frictionless, now we get to experience everything.

Java developers have intelliJ IDEA, Eclipse and Netbeans, all written in Java.

JavaScript developers have Atom and VSCode. Since JS was created for HTML, it seems logical for me to use browser tech to build these editors.

It allows JS devs to build extensions without the need to learn a different language. As Java devs can build Eclipse plugins with Java.

Also, the Electron based editors aren't the only ones available, so it isn't as if someone would force the poor dumb JS developers to use these clunky slow tools, like when Slack built their client with Electron and you had to run a monster app for a simple chat.

Just because it's the best we have (if you're looking for a cross platform solution, anyway) doesn't mean that we've reached the peak and can just quit. We can do a hell of a lot better, and doing anything less is tragically underselling ourselves. There are no laws of physics preventing a better solution from existing. No, creating something better isn't easy, but neither have any of the other technological breakthroughs.
