You are missing the point, by quoting out-of-context from the section with this big header: We optimize papers for the referee, not for the (intended) audience . The author's issue is not with defensive writing. It's with writ

It's sad to me that people like you think it's more important that your politics are represented in the Supreme Court than that the justices do a good job working together and holding a consistent integral legal standard for the c

There is no formal distinction between an OT and CRDT algorithm. It's true that the most popular OT systems have a central server -- but there exist OT algorithms without a central server. It's also true that CRDT algorithms tend

by toomim 6y ago
Yes. There do exist peer-to-peer OT algorithms, however they have not become popular in any production websites. The popular production systems (such as Google Wave and Docs) are based on the Jupiter style of operational transform, which fe

I mostly agree with you, but the WHO and CDC famously told people not to wear masks for way too long after data was distributed showing mask's effectiveness for preventing infection. I would not trust them.

I'm into this. I've wanted to build something like this before, too, but never finished it. This feels closer to how app building should work. If I have a web app, it should be simple to give it an icon, with notifications.
