If there is enough demand for HIPAA compliance then we could certainly ensure our platform meets the requirements.

In saying that, it seems less likely that medical/health product companies experience this pain point compared to say, consumer social apps which can have a massive number of active users and therefore audio/video streaming costs.

Feel free to correct me, however! I'd love to know if any medical/health products experience this pain point intensely as well.
I think for a lot of posts, people just comment and upvote based on the title, and never click through to register an actual view. For products this is still valuable because of brand recognition. That being said, I really doubt YC has the bandwidth to target all the competitors of their top companies.

It’s called craquelure. (Forgive my short explanation. I have to get up in 4 hours.) In addition to applying thick layers of paint Rembrandt used varnish. All of this dries at different times, which leads to the cracking effect. It’s more a condition of how it was painted and the media the artists used and less about trying to achieve the effect outright.

Fun fact: the Night Watch is an inaccurate title. The title is actually Militia Company of District II under the Command of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq or The Shooting Company of Frans Banning Cocq and Willem van Ruytenburch. It’s known as the Night Watch because of dirt and varnish—the varnish yellows over time. This changed after extensive restoration. Also, the painting has been vandalized several times. In one unfortunate event in the ‘70s a person took a knife to it.

For more on craquelure see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craquelure.

(Edited to clarify that varnish yellows over time)

Gemini's most distinguishing feature seems to be that it is considered feature complete. If everything goes as planned, even decades from now building a usable gemini client should be easily doable. Completely unlike web browsers which started off with fairly simple html but picked up a lot of bloat over the last few decades. This alone might make Gemini worth it.
This is actually a nice part about board games being more niche than video games. Pick just about any game on a computer and console and it’s been analyzed to death, every secret and strategy found and quantified.

Many moderately popular board games don’t have anything even approaching this level of analysis, some have quite broken combinations and strategies that have never been published anywhere, so even if you’re not the first to figure it out you can feel like you are. I really enjoy that feeling, that your discoveries have not been trampled over and graffitied long before you got there.
ID is ok as long as it's stupid easy to obtain if you don't have what is the default national id drivers license. The faction that tries to suppress voting want voter ID so they can then restrict what ID is needed to get government issued ID without holding a drivers license. Voter ID isn't the issue, how to get the ID is. There is a solution though. Issue a national health card at birth with a requirement to have it reissued with a picture after age 18. So Medicare for all solves two issues. Health care and voter ID.

So, we agree that vaccines prevent significant numbers of Covid deaths, as presumably shown by VE against death after the plateau of the vaccination drive.

We're now discussing the extent to which vaccines are killing lots of people. Your data in support of this is unexplained excess deaths in the US and Israel in 2021.

I remember seeing something here on HN about Israel's excess deaths implying vaccines caused deaths and thinking it was bogus. Please send me the link again.

As for US excess deaths, why can't this just be Covid? Does every state test every death?

Also, the RCT wasn't underpowered. On what basis do you make that assertion? If the vaccines were killing a large number of people, it should've shown up in the RCT. The only way the RCT could have been underpowered is if the vaccines only kill so few people, that you need a gigantic sample size in order to tease out that small effect. That's what underpowered means. Unless you think the vaccine is only killing people after a long period of time (but that would be a separate issue to being underpowered)?

C++ before 2011 springs to mind. From "Direction for ISO C++"[1]:

I remember interviewing at Amazon (this was 2009) and being told that any engineer could deploy to the main site at any time. The thought terrified me.
What many people miss is that it is not about the grape varietal, but the intersection of varietal and geography. Every famous wine region will produce poor wine from varietals not suited to that region, and varietals are sensitive to the local environment. This is where I think the Europeans get it right. They don't focus on the varietal, they produce a blend from varietals that make sense in the region they are grown, producing a wine with somewhat unique characteristics (modulo production skill).

Merlot can be the basis for excellent wine (see: Petrus). However, I think California generally produces mediocre merlot. California's strengths are Cabernet (Sauvignon and Franc) and Zinfandel. For Pinot Noir, there are a couple spots like the Russian River Valley that do a good job, but Oregon has a stronger claim.

In the US, you kind of need to know what varietals grow well in what regions. In Europe, they typically produce varietal blends that are optimized for the region where they are produced, but which have very different characteristics depending on the region. I prefer the European model of branding on the region rather than the varietal, because the wine experience is more consistent and predictable. You know it will usually be an appropriate varietal for the region in which it is produced. That is not always the case in the US; we seem to grow any varietal anywhere if we think we can sell it.

That said, if you want to look smart about wine without spending a ton of money, the best choice is something from a region relatively few people have heard of, and therefore inexpensive, that nonetheless produces brilliant wine. Sommeliers often appreciate people that can identify those hidden gems on the list because people trying to be flashy don't even recognize them. Of course, you learn this by drinking wine from literally everywhere, and especially places you've never heard of, until you form an opinion. Availability varies widely with geography but in 2021, with the globalization of wine, there is little reason to spend much more than $10-20 bottle (retail, not restaurant) for almost any style if you know your regions and quality is the sole objective (local availability notwithstanding).

But then, I'm just a random wine drinker on the Internet. :-)
People start drama irrespective of circumstance. It is a constant, of sorts, regardless of how good or bad they have it.

At a societal level, good times bring petty drama, bad times bring people together as they can fixate on their shared negative circumstance. Usually there is some scapegoating involved, which is just a shared fixation that satisfies this urge.

I can't say I'm immune but Marcus Aurelius and Seneca have some interesting words on the subject. Best read for yourself if you are interested.
I definitively do not want to critique your workflow, that would be pretty dumb by me, just two comments to your points that I don't agree with in full.

Hmm, while there are a few things like renames of variables/functions/... or (type) signature changes for that to happen outside the view one is currently editing in, it's only solving part of the problem — as other files can have those issues too and require changes, so one needs to run a check/lint test or build anyway.

Considering this is the only thing he claimed to have "proof" on, and it turns out not only to be false but to be the actual opposite, this is really damning for the rest of his claims.

I wouldn't mind not having support for any given $POPULAR_LANGUAGE out of the box -- maybe there are license issues with that -- as long as there is a good extension and it was super easy to find.

Easy to find means if I open a .go file or relevant directory, the app should ask me if I want to install support for Go files. And it should have One Approved Extension, the others should be available on request (as all are now).

If there's no good extension for a common language, I think it's on Panic to convince the community to make one, or make one themselves. One way of convincing the community would be to make it easy! (A quick look at the comments in the extension READMEs strongly implies Panic has not made it easy. The updates to the Go extensions are ~ 6 months old.)

So what's a common language? You could probably use GitHub to figure that out. If Go doesn't qualify then OK, I'll go back to my cave, but I think baking in CoffeeScript instead is pretty arbitrary.
If you require ID to vote then you have a situation where the GOP has an incentive to make it more expensive and more hassle to get ID. Fuck that.
I tried out the Vim mode, it's actually one of the better emulations I've seen. Still suffers from the fact that for someone used to Vim there will be some keys you use regularly that aren't yet part of the emulation. I lasted a few days, but turns out I'm happier with actual Vim.

A shame, as they claimed to fix some of this in the newer versions... but of course my 30 day trial has expired and their model means I can't try out the fixes to see if it's actually worth paying for now.
My comment wasn't about hundreds of investors -- it was strictly about Y Combinator, which is just one company. I've worked for YC for years and therefore know things about it. Since I don't work on the investment side of the business, there are a lot of details I miss out on, but on the macro level, such as the core patterns by which YC operates, I know quite a bit. Also, part of my job is to be a liaison between HN and YC, and an important part of that is to correct inaccuracies and misperceptions where possible.
Languages don't get popular unless they are very easy to learn, so no language popular today almost surely is biased in favor of learning curve and against complexity. We probably need some big industrywide intervention to create the optimal level of complexity in languages as I doubt even C++ is too complex to be optimal if you consider that you work 40 years in a career. It would work by just having a couple of standard languages so developers don't need to learn so many languages, then they spend a lot of time learning those until they are fluent and then they don't have to learn anything new about programming languages for the rest of their lives, very efficient.

Arch at least is super stable in terms of bugs. The problem comes with changes in software versions. Too often people think that stability means only bugs. I would even argue that Arch has even less bugs than Debian.
That employees are "screwed over" is always a weird argument to me. Presumably these employees are free to choose the company they work for, and so they could've chosen companies that provide equity over those who don't. I was under the impression that Mailchimp paid well through salary and bonuses.

To be compensated for many years and then cry foul when the founders exit and the employee having gotten nothing (because, they chose to work there and not elsewhere) is to want to have one's cake and to eat it too.
I love modafinal. I was able to get a legit prescription for it from a doctor for "Adult ADD"

You are _awake_ but not the way caffeine or ritalin do it. You're not buzzing. Just _awake_.

However, it didn't do anything for my ADD so I didn't use it for more than a month. For a while I used my remaining supply to de-jet-lag myself after an international flight. (Pre-pandemic, I'd do an international flight about once/month.) It worked well for this. I'd use it to stay awake the first full day I landed, then my clock would be fine.
Yes, as the creator of C++ has said [1] before.

Personally, I'd also distinguish between "complicated over time" and "complicated by default." For example, Clojure has a minimal syntax and instead uses a large vocabulary of terse primitive procedures. If you don't know the primitives, it's "complicated." A different example is Rust, which has many features expressed in syntax. If you haven't learned all of the syntax, it's "complicated." Compare these with C++, which began as a small set of extensions to a stronger-typed C, but has gradually grown into a family of sub-languages, each added for a particular purpose, and all interacting with each other (sometimes beautifully, other times horribly -- knowing the difference is "complicated").

Pro tip: use RSS for podcasts because almost nothing in that space supports Atom, but shun RSS and use Atom in all other cases, because it’s the strictly superior format (RSS lacks a couple of features, uses terrible date formats, and is encoding-ambiguous in a few places like title and body that causes clients to guess whether you’re writing plain text or HTML, and occasionally guess wrong) and everything supports both.

It’s complicated. A lot of the research is misreported. The supposed study demonstrating that experts can’t tell the difference between red and white wine says no such thing. But people do love a narrative that takes the wind out of a snob’s sails, so the legend persists.

True experts can distinguish an astonishing number of characteristics of wine in a blind taste. Most people are not experts. The price of wine is also largely decoupled from how much any given person will enjoy it. (However, psychologically, you will probably enjoy a bottle you paid $100 for more than one you paid $20 for.)

Basically: Wine is not all just indistinguishable fermented grape juice, but most stuff written about wine is a combination of bunk and rarified trivia no normal drinker should care about. Drink what makes you happy.

Does that mean that you agree that we can't know the extent to which things have been exposed? Cause that's part of my point. Of course you can flip that around and say well you can't prove that nobody compromised your local machine, but one of those things is open to attack from many orders of magnitude more attackers by virtue of being on the open internet and in a physical space that you don't control.

You're cooking up a tasty word salad there, chef. Can you give me a little more meat here? I don't quite follow. Have you never heard people say that you shouldn't write an email or send a picture that you wouldn't want to see in the newspaper? Its a similar concept. Once you send something out over the wire, your power to make decisions over what's done with it is gone. You have to hope that whatever was listening on the wire is (and will continue to be) benevolent. How do straw men and hyperbole apply here?

I agree. That's part of why I use a password manager, and recommend that others do so too. We just disagree on whether or not its advisable to cede control over that kind of tool to a third party.

It feels a lot like the argument that your money is safer in a bank than in your mattress, which is an argument I agree with. Except replace all the banking regulations and security with a ToS that can change anytime and emails about how very deeply we care about your security.

I guess I’ve been out of YC a long time but I have a really hard time believing they are torpedoing investments in any company that competes with one of theirs, both because they wouldn’t want to and because they couldn’t.

This sounds like all the same shit I (and most founders) went through even when there was little to no competition.

I can totally see that somebody could easily misinterpret the craziness that is raising money, and endeavor I can only like into online dating. I’d need some pretty compelling evidence of this sort of collusion and there’s nothing given.
How much experience do you have with the product in question...?

Last I checked it literally embeds a JS engine with a custom API for extensions. Unless something has changed since I last looked... but if I glance at this URL (scroll down to "Providing a TreeView") it doesn't appear to have:

https://docs.nova.app/extensions/sidebars/#defining-a-sideba...

There is simply no reason it has to be different from the VSCode API; you can set up JavaScriptCore to hook into whatever native components you need. VSCode owns the market, full stop. This should mimic the API as much as possible to enable wider extension porting.

Hell, you could cover even a fraction of the VSCode API and that would still be more useful than the current Nova extensions API.
