It's hard to see how you would implement that, any script run within the context of the page needs access to these fields for backwards compatibility reasons, so the context script of the extension would just need to find a way of running code in the context of the page to exfiltrate the data. It could do this by adding script tags, etc.

Browsers break backwards compatibility for security all the time. Most recently Chrome made accessing devices on a local network require a permission. They completely changed the behavior of cookies. They break loads of things for cross origin isolation.

Where’d you sleep? Going wit the flow and enjoying life is admirable but that sounds like a pretty terrible camp site tbh.

This looks great.

Almost as good as Emacs Org mode. I use Org mode with Evil, to get VIM keybindings. This way I can quickly navigate and edit the document, not just append to the end of it. And of course, Emacs is completely local.

I suppose there is supposed to be a collaborative element that Emacs won't provide. In my experience people in meetings already have workflows and are seldom interested in using the tool somebody else asks them to.

How do you collaborate with the other meeting participants? You all ssh into the one machine?

Good PR, but AbortController doesn't really help with stopping the server from processing the request. I have seen so much of this type of search that just continues processing in the backend even if the client has long gone caring.
throwaway0665 · 6 months ago
The sever should cancel the request handler when the client drops. Otherwise you're just opening up to accidental DOS.

Android is Linux

Android is not GNU/Linux.

Article talks about GNU/Linux clearly. There is a point to the whole "I'd like to interject for a moment..." copypasta and Android's situation is the clearest illustration of it.

The article talks about browsers that use Linux in the user agent. This includes Alpine Linux - which is not GNU/Linux. It also splits out Chrome OS which is pretty much GNU/Linux.

The problem is it's hard to unlearn bad technique. If you play scales wrong you can get stuck progressing and have to start over while suppressing the urge to just play like you always did.
throwaway0665 · 7 months ago
I think learning how to unlearn is part of it. You'll often encounter music that is fingered unintuitively when learning increasingly difficult pieces. Plus if you're able to play legato at 100% speed guitar hero style you've probably discovered a mostly correct fingering anyway.

> This is part of a deeper instinct in modern life, I think, to explain everything. Psychologically, scientifically, evolutionarily. Everything about us is caused, categorised, and can be corrected. We talk in theories, frameworks, systems, structures, drives, motivations, mechanisms. But in exchange for explanation, we lost mystery, romance, and lately, I think, ourselves.

This is the rejection of science applied to a less common target.

It's the rejection of pseudoscience.

> Dropping valuable observability data to save space is usually shortsighted

That's a bit of a blanket statement, too :) I've seen many systems where a lot of stuff is logged without much thought. "Connection to database successful" - does this need to be logged on every connection request? Log level info, warning, debug? Codebases are full of this.

There's always another log that could have been key to getting to the bottom of an incident. It's impossible to know completely what will be useful in advance.
