I’ve experienced this (Reddit comes to mind) but I’m pretty sure it’s because it aggressively mounts/dismounts things on/from the real DOM.

In other words it virtualizes views (like when you have a 1000 row table and you only render rows 40-50), but this is not the same as DOM virtualization.
Yes, absolutely. That reduces a lot of likely error.

It's just that it's easy to be hardworking and ambitious when you had books growing up, proper nutrition, when your parents stayed together, when you're in good health, when you got tutors and went to great schools, when you were engaged in extracurriculars, when you lived in an affluent society, when your parents were well connected, and on and on and on.

The Russian communist revolution succeeded because Tsarist Russia was brutal and despotic, and the brutal and despotic Bolsheviks were merely the lesser of two evils and better fighters. The Chinese communist revolution succeeded because the Chinese Communist Party waged a guerilla war while the Nationalist army fought the Japanese invasion by themselves. Once the invasion was defeated the Chinese Communist Party fought a brutal conventional war marked by long sieges where 100,000s of city dwellers starved to death.

I think political and military factors are underrated as explanations for the success of communist revolutions compared to social and economic factors.

From a purely selfish perspective, countries with universal health coverage pay less than Americans do for healthcare, and those countries have better healthcare outcomes, quality of care, shorter wait times and they manage to insure everybody. You'd enjoy not only lower prices, but better care adopting such a model.

But yours isn't even a selfish perspective, but a moralizing one. You don't like the idea of someone getting healthcare that you feel doesn't deserve it, and it seems like you don't care if that means you pay more for healthcare or receive worse healthcare outcomes as long as those people can't see a doctor.

ignoring THE FUCKING TOPIC HERE. the UI is hideous now without javascript enabled, before it was actually navigable.
Interesting text. But by the end of the day I think it is quite subjective how people optimally capture their thoughts and ideas. I spent many years doing research to find an optimal tool. Netmanage Ecco worked very well for me, but had some limitations - interestingly some which also the referenced article considers important. Other people were fan of completely different tools which I couldn't get much out of (and vice versa). Finally I implemented my own tool (not for the first time) ten years ago which I'm successfully using since then (https://github.com/rochus-keller/crossline/). It looks certainly old fashioned to younger people, but I'm very efficient with it because I can talk to people and record/organize the discussion at the same time without moving my hands away from the keyboard (what helps me to focus on the topic and counterparts and not to be distracted by handling the tool). If I assess my approach with the "Principles of incremental notes" it looks like a good match. Point 1 is met by efficient shortcuts and capturing information in context due to outlining approach. Point 4 is met in that each outline is automatically added to a history list; of course I can organize outlines in that some outlines are used as directories, and there is also a full text search; I agree that I very often rediscover notes from the history context. Point 2 is met in that I can consolidate notes from old ones without copying, i.e. I just take the items from different outlines I want and put them together in a new outline without losing the link to the original context; much more to say. And yes, I carry a small laptop with me wherever I go; it has a good keyboard on which I can type faster than people usually talk. Doesn't work with a smartphone.
Factually we're already there. I've reviewed my own HIPAA-sensitive lab results in a patient portal for example. I'd go check out some of the solutions Epic Systems has put out if you're interested in current product offerings in the space.

Information wants to be shared, collaborated on, and worked on in real-time... both private intranets and/or public internet provide platforms to do this.

I wish vim could do this. Or maybe it can and I don't know how.

Everyone suggests using "gx" but this is for opening local files in a viewer. If you do gx on a url it downloads the referent, and then tries to open the result using the local filename. If the extension is ".html" this fails fairly miserably because all the css, images, etc. are missing. If the page doesn't have an extension it fails entirely.

I look forward to being corrected!

Would "a plebeian like them" care to explain why they don't like Lisp? Lisp as I see it is just the ultimate syntax of "(function argument argument)" and there is nothing more to learn unless you take a specific Lisp and compare it to others. I hardly even understand why do people keep inventing languages which are not lisps (and why does everybody seemingly find C-like syntax more intuitive).
Yes, I do. Not all medical info need privacy.

Even on Windows you wouldn't release a game that works on Windows older than 10 nowadays, you can assume a reasonable up-to-date distro. I am quite sure Steam Runtime works at least as far back Ubuntu 16.04, the oldest distro that I can think someone would want to run Steam on it.

I'm not ignoring the tax contributions. You would pay 25-40% income tax for pension plus social security depending on your income. I'm super glad to pay that and willing to pay more if that means parents don't have to go "shopping for insulin at a supermarket" for their children. It's just insane and can't wrap my mind around it.

When you are approximating fixed-point using floating-point there is a lot more you need to do correctly other than roun ding. Your representation must have enough precision and range for the beginning inputs, intermediate results, and final results. You must be able to represent all expected numbers. And on. There is a lot more involved than what you mentioned.

Of course, if you are willing to get incorrect results, such as in play money, this may be okay.

> If the technical preview is successful, our plan is to build a commercial version of GitHub Copilot in the future.

This may be the first time that a proprietary coding tool offers such a great value preposition that I am actually interested in trying it out and potentially even paying for it. It's also a bit concerning that this will probably be extremely hard, if not impossible, to create an FOSS version of this technology, just because of the immense amount of computing power, and by extension money, needed to create GPT3.

I'm not that comfortable with the idea of a future where proprietary AI-based solutions and libraries (e.g. automatic testing libraries, which have been mentioned here a few times) are so powerful that I'll be forced to use them if I don't want to waste my time.
Like others I've settled with MusicBrainz Picard https://picard.musicbrainz.org/ I prefer GUIs for some reason when it comes to music organisation (GitHub repo https://github.com/metabrainz/picard).

Beets is great and powerful but if you overlook something it's easy to mess up your library, but any serious music collector (hopefully) has backups.

Other (GUI) alternatives I've tried:

MP3TAG (free) https://www.mp3tag.de/en/ I didn't see much value over using Picard.

Bliss (paid) https://www.blisshq.com/ Really nice, but was way too slow for me.

MediaMonkey if you're on Windows https://www.mediamonkey.com/

Great feedback! I'll update the site's green color.
I'm pretty sure most patrons would not be comfortable with the server losing money for something they have no control over. I'm certainly not going to refuse to tip them to make some kind of statement that only punishes them.

I guess I don't know how you go from the idea that you are accomplishing nothing while making someone else's day worse to being able to say "not my problem" and go on with your life.

I would much rather they were paid a fair wage. But I'm not going to voice my opinion on that matter by refusing to give them the money that I personally factor in as part of a meal anyway. I get where you're coming from, but I don't see how this method of addressing it is intended to accomplish anything.

I can argue that it's easier to architect an intranet web medical data viewer right now than a typical desktop application accessing an intranet server.

Client-server desktop applications typically use custom protocols and custom servers leading to a higher likelihood of security issues.

They're harder/slower/trickier to update and administer within a big organization, leading to a higher chance of messing up.

Whatever security issues you can think of running it in a browser context, more exist when running it as native code.

If you run an intranet web service with the same security precautions as a public web service, which is currently very well explored, there are less things to go wrong.
It's a large and gpu-hungry model.

> See instead https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27680941, which is my understanding of the stance p0 takes.

That's a common sentiment I just don't buy. People here love to hand-wave about some vague "benefit to the public", and maybe there is some benefit when the vulnerability can be mitigated on the user side, but it literally cannot be the case for the fraction of vulnerabilities that entities other than the vendor can do nothing about. The only "benefit" is it satisfies peoples' curiosity, which is a terrible way to do security. Yet P0 applies that policy indiscriminately.

> Can you point out the second part, specifically where "you're a bad vendor if..." is either stayed or implied py P0?

As to your question of when this is implied by P0, to me their actions and lack of a compelling rationale for their behavior I explained above is already plenty enough to imply it. But if you won't believe something unless it's in an actual quote from themselves, I guess here's something you can refer to [1]:

- "We were concerned that patches were taking a long time to be developed and released to users"

- "We used this model of disclosure for over a decade, and the results weren't particularly compelling. Many fixes took over six months to be released, while some of our vulnerability reports went unfixed entirely!"

- "We were optimistic that vendors could do better, but we weren't seeing the improvements to internal triage, patch development, testing, and release processes that we knew would provide the most benefit to users."

- "If most bugs are fixed in a reasonable timeframe (i.e. less than 90 days), [...]"

All the "reasonable time frame (i.e. < 90 days)", "your users aren't getting what they need", "your results aren't compelling", "you can do better", etc. are basically semi-diplomatic ways of saying you're a bad vendor when you're not meeting their "reasonable" 90-day timeline.

I’m aware of that. I was answering the question that was asked, not intimating this was the way it happened in Ohio.
Thank you for this well written informative article!

I have a few of questions.

1. There was work in progress to update the OpenPGP protocol, eg, RFC 4880bis. What’s the status of this draft? When can users expect AEAD from OpenPGP?

Some of the criticisms of PGP are lack of modern authentication, lack of forward secrecy, and limited usability.

FS is probably not relevant to email that involves long-term storage. UX is out of scope of protocol. AEAD however is expected these days. MDC isn’t modern authentication.

2. Is PGP currently effective against powerful adversaries?

3. What do you think of claims that sequoia is an interesting project in a doomed echo system?

> Those ads are so bad Google makes money from people paying to remove them.

Arguably those ads have to be that annoying if people want to use YouTube for free, at least in its current state - it’s a globally free service that receives 500 hours of content every minute[0]. Less annoying ads drive less clicks and thus generate less revenue. Paying to remove them is a sign that you actually value YT for how much it costs to run.

Is it possible to view a longer time horizon than 1 week?
I had exactly the same reaction, and I also went to CMU for undergrad (not SCS though). However I found that it didn't translate to long-term productivity during my PhD program, when I needed to think about my career goals 5 years in the future. There I needed to focus on sustainable work ethic and working "smarter" rather than "harder" -- for example, okay I got an A in my quantum field theory class, but who cares? Other students who took easier courses but were able to start writing papers probably got ahead in the long run.
Java tried, but failed.

Personally I think it's fair to say Java didn't try hard enough. It never took sandboxing of untrusted code very seriously (compared to, say, modern web browsers).

It also made things awkward for the user, expecting them to install and maintain a JVM rather than hiding that away and delivering a native experience.
Yes, in general, but in the context of the original article success would be defined as higher education, well-paying job, able and healthy body, etc.
Sure, past 7 days. But what about next 7 days? ;)
Also important to mention is fun. The browser allows people to make fun stuff, be it a video game (using webGL) or a multiplayer instrument (using Web Audio API), and distribute it really easily. These API are well documented and are available to anyone to write and share. Thanks to the proliferation of web APIs you often don’t even need a server to make cool stuff and share with your friends.

If you have to create an executable for your fun little project, and make sure your friends have all the dependencies, and then your friends that have only Macs or Iphones won’t be able to use it because you don’t know how to share it with them, you might not bother making that thing in the first place, and the world becomes so much poorer as a result.

The web with it’s many features and API is really democratizing how we make fun interactive stuff and share it with each other. Most days there is a fun project that serves no purpose except to entertain strangers that makes it to the front page of HN. How many of those would still be made and shared if browsers would be as feature poor as the OP wants.
> These ideas weren't invented out of thin air, but to defend things that are hard to defend on their own merits.

No, they were invented to provide air for all things to be considered on their merits, and to defeat dogma and traditionalism. That it also allows bad ideas to get some air is not the purpose, but a necessary feature to allow the good but discriminated against ideas surface.

> And just as the devinity of kings mysteriously only brought rights and no responsibilities

Making nonsensical allusions between dissimilar things doesn't mean they are similar. A marketplace of ideas is exactly the kind of thing that allows the divinity of kings to be questioned and reconsidered in the first place, so equating them is particularly odd.

> it is equally telling that the only time the "marketplace of ideas" is ever brought is in the context of why we shouldn't be doing anything about all of the hate speech.

That the things that are considered but wrong generate a lot of noise continuously as they keep being wrong is not unexpected. The correct and or good things that eventually supplant the prior things stop making noise by nature of be accepted. Equality of races and sexes is something you get out of the marketplace of ideas, as well as race and gender superiority. Once upon a time, race and gender superiority was the accepted norm, and calls for equality were the loud complaints that people had to hear and decide whether to agree with. Eventually equality supplanted the prior norm, and we hear some noisy ideas about superiority. I doubt that will supplant the norm in the majority though, it's an obviously inferior situation for the majority than equality, because everyone is a minority depending on how you slice it.
