There are only two workarounds that are particular to running on the browser.

One of them, yes, it's an insane one, the File System related things. When I started the project I was hoping the FileSystem Web API was going to be better and adopted faster.

The other one is React-specific, but using React is an implementation detail.

Other than that, what do you see as a significant difference between implementing UI Drafter as a browser app vs. a traditional one?
So they download the encryption key (unprotected so no password needed) as a file, and they keep the file safe? That's the kind of thing I've been thinking about for an idea of mine. What did those 10 users ask about? How to use the encryption key file?
All in all I don't believe information can exist in a vacuum and 'white', even mostly encoded in one neuron, is probably still coupled with every other neuron related to any white stimuli or concept (color, spectrum, hue, negative, its spelling, voice, heat, locations...)
Secret Wars of the CIA
Are you aware of Kotlin? Or Scala? Closure? What about ReasonML (related to OCaml)?

These are all languages that (roughly speaking, there’s nuance in their differences) transpile to bytecode or to JavaScript (ReasonML can also compile to native code). Come to think of it I think Haskell might have this now too.

There are many such languages! If “unified full stack language” is the goal, I think it makes sense to explore languages that were designed from the ground up with this in mind.

If the goal is “let programmers from ecosystem XYZ program in a new context” then I’m all about these experiments! Heck, I was a front end dev before becoming a backend dev via nodejs, so I get the appeal and think folks should go for it.

I am worried about the adoption of wasm, though, and not for the reasons you might think. We already complain about bloated js on the web, but it’s a high level language running in as a highly optimized VM focused on its effective support, with an ecosystem of developers that value small efficient packages. With wasm, it feels like we are on the verge of having Flash all over again, but this time *100 or more.

As the saying goes, “Give a man high level tools and he’ll fish for a day. Teach a man how to make a match and he’ll reinvent the fishing pole from matchsticks for a lifetime.”

But I haven't heard a single analysis claiming the fall of Constantinople actually caused this and the parent article gives a pretty standard analysis why the fall of the Western Roman Empire eventually gave rise to the modern world.

The fall of Constantinople was more a matter that a variety of more advanced societies (Venice, the Turks, etc) were rising and the Byzantines were there, so why not loot them, as far as I understand the situation.
The first two points probably have less to do with the the design of suburbs, but can probably be better attributed to income/wealth:

* https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2017/08/the-ur...

I live in Toronto, Canada, and we probably have as much variation with-in the city as between the suburban and urban areas given that different neighbourhoods with-in the city have different average incomes.

Access to green spaces does help help in many ways, but that may be countered by the lack of activity in car-centric areas:

* https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-10-11/the-publi...

Further, lower density building necessities eating up more land for the same population than higher density. You're paving over the very 'green' land that is providing benefits in the first place.

And 'urban living' also exists on a spectrum: it is not necessary to design things as scrunched together as (say) Manhattan. Brooklyn and Queen's (for example) can support walkable neighbourhoods with useful public transit (and cycling), while having SFH, garages/lanes, backyards, etc.

I'm less against 'real' rural living than suburban design. The post-WW2 suburbs just seem to be the worst of both worlds.
My experience with a 3 day fast was that for the first day it was no problem. I can generally ignore hunger pretty easily. But days 2 and 3 were just a brutal lack of energy. I have never felt so depleted as when I was finishing my 3-day fast. Other than that, I didn't really experience any positive benefits.
> I see people down voting without any reason.

What makes you think they didn't have a reason? I didn't downvote you but you've made a few divisive assertions. For example, your "blazing fast" is my "performs acceptably".
Your consent is irrelevant here. The information is still publicly available to anyone who wants to look.

You can make the case that this data should be private, and I might agree, but that doesn't change the fact that it is currently public, hence there is nothing to be "revealed" or "doxxed". The information is already out there, in public, easy to find.
So, this is not quite correct. Talking across it means that you are aiming your voice to the side of the microphone, but the microphone is still aimed directly at your mouth. It’s not the directionality of the microphone that is an issue, it’s the air coming out of your mouth.
In my experience, some browsers will start the download before you've given the go-ahead, so the download completes faster.
I have been around in the crypto space for a significant amount of time (think $700 BTC) and have started two startups which use blockchain tech to a significant degree.

But I am very disappointed in BTC and ETH. BTC did not become “A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System,” and we haven’t seen the explosion of uses-cases I hoped to see from ETH (like tokenization and trading of real-world assets). There’s a ton of froth and solutionism in this space, which is OK, but it also understandably puts off a lot of people who see it as a scam-ridden wasteland.

That’s to say nothing of the Tether black swan to come.

I focus mostly on the schedule, then follow the schedule. Sounds simple, but it makes going on a 10 mile run Saturday at 11am more likely because I wrote it down, versus holding myself to do the 10 mile run at some point.

Although I have smart devices and all sorts of equipment to track what I did, it's more valuable to me to have a physical calendar where I write out my schedule, then write out what I did. The data is for fun.
Misses the mark entirely. Massive lobbying by Intuit and other has prevented the IRS from providing the calculation engine and associated services as a public good. Lobbying also promotes complexity of the tax code, so preparation costs remain higher.

Or, the Stripe API for taxes can exist, but it should not be part of for-profit enterprises.

Part of the function of each tax agency (federal and state, at least) is maintaining a tax calc engine, so it’s not as ludicrous a proposition as other gov’t IT might be.
I do consider the Slack desktop app to be a resource hog. Even on my brand-new M1 MacBook Air it sometimes takes a few seconds for channels to load. On my older Windows computer it's borderline unusable with how bad the text inputs lag. Sometimes I will have typed out an entire message and hit send before any of the text appears in the input box.

In fact, this morning a colleague of mine was showing me on Zoom that their Slack desktop app never finishes loading instead just displaying a white screen, so they need to use the website instead. Although I guess that's more of a comment on software quality than bloat.

I don't mean to say that all Electron apps are slow and clunky. VS Code for example is very impressive for an Electron app.
I am not sure whether this about a specific approach, or celebrating the long due unraveling of a single orthodoxy. The later is indeed good news.

I have nothing against Kasparov’s efforts, and I’m sure there’s plenty of valuable content on his new site.

But I have to agree that Lichess is an absolute jewel of the chess community, and I’m a happy supporter of it. We don’t need another chess matchmaking site, but it doesn’t sound like Kasparov is trying to compete in that space.
Hey fair enough. I’ve driven many cars with lane assist and some are better than others. But they are not meant to be used like Tesla autopilot is.

My girlfriend’s 2021 Outback has pretty amazing adaptive cruise, that will come to a complete stop as you describe. But it doesn’t work under a hard cut off of 35 miles an hour, and trying to use it outside of a highway situation is very nerve racking, which is why I said it’s not ‘useful’.

These technologies are great, and I’m excited to see the become more standard. But my point was to compare them to Tesla autopilot is apples and oranges. To think that they are the same, or they are designed for the same purposes is to not appreciate how darn good Autopilot really is.
Why is this better than the built in notes app on my phone or Atom and a private GitHub repo? That’s what I use and I’m yet to have a problem.

Let me quote your original claim again:

> Time you spend writing type specifications is time you're not spending doing something else that might add more value.

To what I say: writing out a type (= a few characters) is negligible anyways when compared to the time you spend thinking about what the type is (which you have to do in python as well, maybe even more).

> Same comment here: whether or not the function can return an empty list is part of the API. The API needs to be documented somehow.

If you have a proper API documentation in both cases, then you have to think less, that's true. In the real world however, I can testify that I have to think longer in python because 1) APIs not always well documented and 2) even if they are, a well documented API that uses statical types is still easier to use due to the automatic compiler/IDE support.
Pinboard doesn't have near the traffic or complexity as goodreads. It's basically fetching text out of a database with a user-id lookup. No multiple databases for books, user profile, reviews, etc.
Sure, i simplified a bit. They kicked her legs out from under her for thirty years. The researcher claims being denied funding as early as 1989.

>So what you're saying is... If there had been a profit incentive, they wouldn't have sat on it? That seems like a strong argument for the profit motive: if you make it unprofitable, it doesn't get acted on.

It's only an argument if you believe not acting on it was a correct decision. I think the multiplicity of mRNA applications that are immediately following now that we’re past the hurdle of the first one, and the huge amount of damage these vaccines and therapies will prevent or mitigate to literally millions of human lives, including preventing countless deaths (malaria alone kills about half a million every year), indicate that this is an extremely beneficial technology that should have been aggressively pursued before a global pandemic forced the issue.

>Instead it says that a young researcher got frequent pushback in the 90s on a possibly-promising, but not fully-developed idea that turned out to be correct, because it was viewed as too novel or as unworkable. And in fact, in the 90s, it actually was unworkable. She didn't figure out how to make it work even theoretically until 2005.

>That doesn't mean the pushback was right — although many breakthroughs have gotten pushback before being proven correct.

Yes, this is bad. The stonewalling of promising treatments that are not fully developed is entirely contrary to the point of medical research. Novelty and difficulty are the kind of problems that resolve into possibility or impossibility only with the application of research and trials. The year 2005 is still early enough to have massively changed many lives, and it may have been sooner if they were not impeded.

>So, I guess what I'm saying is, I think the system mostly worked out? It could have been smoother but it does seem to have succeeded.

It was allowed to succeed only once it became apparent there was no other choice. Capitalism does not get to take credit for being dragged across the finish line by the biggest mass mortality event in decades.
No disagreement.

Here’s my beef, though: Dogecoin, BTC, etc. have failed to replace cash money or be used for any sort of significant, regular, money-like use-case.

Monero is maybe the most legitimate cryptocurrency at the moment, as it allows for (and is really used for) darknet purchases. That’s a real use-case.

This is the point Taleb is making too.
Any site using third party sign in should treat it as just one way of logging in. The verified email these providers return should always be able to login you in as well.

As a Vivaldi user: please don't do this. Vivaldi removed any mentions of its name from the user agent a while ago because some websites intentionally broke themselves in it, so now it's indistinguishable from Chrome as far as web developers are concerned.

Right. I was referring to the cases where you must care, such as presenting a list of errors to someone or doing a calculation where an empty list must be considered in a special way if it occurs etc.
I mean, that's a trend that's been ongoing in both the HTTP and TLS world for a while now, independent of QUIC. Similar complaints arose with the announcement of HTTP/2 being TLS only, if I recall, and TLS 1.3 would probably already be widely deployed right now if not for some complications with deployed middleboxes causing connection failures in the wild (which I don't entirely blame on them; after all, bugs happen...)

TPMs are also sold separately that which can be plugged in to motherboards, e.g. Gigabyte (https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/GC-TPM20-SPI-20) and Asus (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/Ac...) to name a couple.

The article has a couple of other weird faults, too:

1. I'm not sure why the author is complaining about FIDO2 having backwards compatibility with U2F/CTAP1. The article even incorrectly claims FIDO2 is "a 3rd incompatible standard" only to counter-argue the point a few paragraphs below explaining CTAP? People not having to throw away their perfectly fine old devices is a good thing in my book.

2. "All FIDO standards are web-centric and aren’t designed with any other client software in mind" the first part is true, the second part not so much. For example FIDO2 supports silent authentication (no user interaction) while WebAuthn explicitly does not[0]. It also supports the hmac-secret extension[1] which is used for offline authentication with Azure Active Directory[2] and IIRC no WebAuthn browser implementation exposes this extension to web apps.

I'm surprised not to see this mentioned, but Elasticsearch allows searching over GET with a request body. I believe that GET-with-body is not standard but works great in practice. It allows one to put Elasticsearch behind a proxy that only allows GET, to give customers read-only access.

[edit: or maybe it's standard but not REST-compliant?]

I've thought about this. I believe the cost of shipping will be paid for by the person shipping it out.

I am not an economist, but my idea is that even if someone is doing this, the economy works itself out because they still gave away a book that someone wanted.

And if the books are that garbage, nobody will request them.

Of course, this is all theory and I'll have to see/adjust as it happens.

I'm not talking about building communities, driving social engagement, blah blah, just a good recommendation engine. That's the bit that's not all that hard.
A much broader reach with low barrier to access, a potentially less fragmented repo, and control over your platform would all be reasons to go web first. No install, more control over subscriptions, lower barrier to deployment, would all maybe be other benefits. Not that those things can't be had with native binaries, but it would require different kinds of complexity
I personally found paperbackswap was outdated, does not have a constantly updated supply, and charges a large surcharge per book.

I'm happy to see people go to Mars for other reasons, but this one's (commonly-cited) BS. The odds of something happening that rendered Earth worse to live on than Mars but didn't also toast mars is incredibly small. Mars is really bad. Most plausible post-apocalypse Earths are way, way better. Yet I don't see anyone clambering to build apocalypse-survival shelters and pay people to live in them part-time, which is something we could do right now that's more effective than a Martian colony, and much cheaper.

I think the trouble is that people don't get just how bad Mars is. Take the peak of Everest, cross it with Antarctica, and dose it with radiation. Sounds bad? You're still nowhere near as bad as Mars. It's really, really bad.
You want more competition, but you don't want to pay anyone? How is that going to work, exactly?

IMO what’s neat about cryptocurrencies is that they are programmable money. This means you could build inflationary cash which inflates at a fixed, fair rate, in an open and transparent manner (Dogecoin did this, for example). Bitcoin has obviously failed at being what the whitepaper said it would be: “A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.” A fair and open inflationary currency might stand a better chance.
GET requests are indeed not expected to have bodies, and therefore proxies will not always treat them the same way. Some might reject them, others might just pass them through (because in the end GET is also just a verb like everything else).

I wouldn't recommend anyone to rely on it to work - especially not if you are using public/cloud infrastructure.

I listened to a podcast called “12 Byzantine Rulers” a while back. I believe they said a number of people fleeing after Constantinople fell made it into Venice and transplanted a lot of old knowledge that had been locked up and stagnant within the city. The Renaissance and the Enlightenment were both heavily influenced by a resurgence of interest in classical work that seems to have started around the exact same time Constantinople fell. I don’t know enough history to know all the reasons in favor or against that argument, but it makes a lot of sense to me that it was a contributing factor.
