Why don't you read the paper and address its evidence and logic instead of ignoring it entirely for an ad-hominem attack on the authors? Ad-hominem attacks are worthless on any politically-contentious issue, because of course people ar

Children age 2-5 are learning faces and how to speak. If they can't see each other's faces and mouths, they don't learn a basic part of human interaction. Think a little more broadly about "harm".

As an academic, I find that positive or negative sentiment isn't expressed in citations — it's expressed in the review process before the paper is published. Once a paper is published, academics assume that it's already

Nope. Mail.app removed it long ago. iOS mail has never had it. Even gmail is less info-dense than it could be, as it routinely increases the padding and margins for each message, even with the most dense view.

Noooooo... The reason I switched to thunderbird is that it displays each email on a single line, which is sooooo much more information dense, and thus efficient! There's no better way to manage a large amount of email than displayin

It also has the advantage that it can't be inflated as quickly as fiat. You can't just print more.

If you have a proxy, cache, or middlebox in your network, and you use DELETE to mean "remove this key from the JSON object" your proxy won't know that, and will happily delete the entire resource, and tell everyone else that

Yjs and Automerge are not patch formats. They are CRDT libraries. You are comparing apples and oranges. If you want to send Yjs or Automerge patches over the network, you still need a patch format.

In addition to the other limitations, this doesn't let you edit strings. You can't insert text into a string, or delete text. This makes it useless for collaborative editing.

That doesn't work, because DELETE is defined to delete the entire resource. PUT is defined to replace the resource with the body, which would replace the resource with the patch. Only PATCH is defined to accept a patch and do somethi

You must mean software vs. hardware, not software vs. design. Software is designed. Hardware is designed. Design is not how something looks on the outside. Design is how something works.

Yes, the limit is implemented in browsers, but it's for the protection of servers. The idea is to prevent a web app from DDOSSing a server somewhere. This is especially a problem for servers implemented with one thread or process pe

That'd be great, but is a lot harder than adding a header. HTTP/2 changes the entire wire format into a binary protocol that multiplexes multiple streams over a single connection. It's a lot harder to implement than HTTP&#x

Thank you for writing this great spec up for others to use! I think totally right that back-pressure and plain GETs are an important use-case to support, and am really happy to see a beautiful spec written up to articulate concretely how to
