Re:Ask HN: How you would redesign a web browser? on Tuesday February 15, 2022 @02:47AM (#30343819)
I didn't state that the document can't have audio or video or whatever. I am just sceptical when I see someone sending over the browser some wasm for singal processing or for rendering a video game. Don't get me wrong I think it's is useful but I am really worried that people are basically overcomplicate things with hacks on top of hacks instead of someone saying f#@k it we need a different approach.

My problem is that when I want to do some simple web app the industry standard is to have all these abstraction levels, this makes me think that maybe we are building on the wrong fundamentals. And people instead of refactoring the browser they make more abstractions/hacks on each other.

Ask HN: How you would redesign a web browser?

HTML is a markup language for documents and CSS and JavaScript are here just to give some help.But now days people are using HTML/CSS/JavaScript for shipping complex apps not pages. And not only that but people build asm.js in order to ship even more complex things in a browser which is not a bad thing but it feels like having a hammer and hitting stuff.Lets assume that we will allow all this...

Re:Why doctors hate their computers on Tuesday November 06, 2018 @10:40AM (#18391944)
In the past I was a developer working on a EHR system. I was laughing when I read "There was a column of thirteen tabs on the left side of my screen".

This is a really sad truth. Not only for physicians but also for other workers who have to work with an ERP system. At least here in Greece I have not seen until now any EHR/ERP that has good UI/UX.

Most of the time we was just building copies of physical forms or simply expose most of the fields of a huge entity in openEHR. Without automating anything.

I think that a big factor thats data entry process takes longer is because instead of hand writing something, now they have to type it or search for a check box to check. At least here in Greece I don't know any physician who can type as fast as he/she writes by hand.

I'm building a student community and after while I stumbled upon zulip https://zulipchat.com. I think it's the most decent organized chat out there. Channels (aka streams in zulip terminology) can have topics on each stream so it's super easy to stay organized.
