Staleness of what though?

LSPs only really pro-actively send diagnostics (error/warning/info/suggest[/code action]).

Everything else is responsive; the client asks for symbols in this document, or completion on this line, etc. And if the client is aware of document changes (which are versioned), it should notify of those before requesting new symbols/etc, but that's not difficult.

I don't know that it's mandatory, but I definitely implemented servers so that they would complete processing changed documents before responding to any later requests.

And if it's just the client re-using cached symbols without asking for an update (which should be very fast if nothing has changed); well, that's foolish.

Is it? For the three languages I tried to use it for it was terrible.

It was like it only had the basic language support plugin I wrote for myself at uni: basic syntax and current file/directory only source files loaded into context.

So any referenced projects, tooling, even packages in one language, and you have false positive errors everywhere.

The argument seems to be: don't promote/support good ideas or projects because if they're good they'll likely succeed without you, and then the initiator will be slightly more confident.

Which is phrased as "not my job" for some reason.

Zed is snappy in the same way that notepad ++ is snappy: If you don't support 10% of language features you can avoid the hard work. Unfortunately this means that non trivial projects have false positive errors everywhere.

None of the things you mention are things I've seen in my union covered jobs in the UK.

I've never heard of union rules here. Employees are not required to be part of the union in order to get their benefits, the unions just negotiate with employers on behalf of all employees. I've also never heard of credentials/gatekeeping for unions in the companies I've worked in.

For reference, I was working as a software developer at a University on a research project: I got the benefits of the higher education university (nationally negotiated pay scales, holiday benefits, etc) but was not a member.

Pay was lower, yes, but that wasn't mandatory; that was just the budget of a research project.

Scraping is about harvesting data. Just using the API like any other user is clearly not scraping.

Is browsing linkedin scraping? Is browsing hacker news through an alternate client scraping?

No, scraping is rehosting hacker news.

You're in the UK: take advantage of the various schemes that allow people with disabilities to get guaranteed first interviews.

If you need any software job you might even have luck with graduate schemes at companies like BT who I believe will have similar shortcuts through recruitment for those with disabilities.

But why should it take time at all? Newer developer tooling (especially some of the rust tools e.g. UV) are lightning fast.

Wouldn't it be better if you asked for it and rather than having to manage workers it was just... Done

This is so unusual of HN

Is it? I see paragraphs of testimony from HN users who love anything whether that's a programming language, web framework, etc.

"we validate a method proposed by various authors before"

Does this mean you expect them to add additional analysis to their paper evaluating it against your unpublished work? That's what validating would involve.

I can see an argument for dropping the word novel, but it's a bit semantic as their approach is slightly different and your work isn't part of scientific literature.

I can't see how adding a sentence referencing your work would make sense as it didn't contribute to theirs, and they did not assess it. It would simply confuse. The omission of your work makes it clear they didn't know about it while doing theirs, which provides the accurate context.

Is your objection to the word "Novel" or to the refusal to reference your work?

If they were not aware of your work, which is the only reasonable assumption, then their work is original and independent research. Almost all work is novel, unless you're arguing they have literally copied your work.

Would you be happy if they dropped that single word?

They would only need to cite you if you're a source. Unless they mention your work or results of your work you're not a source. It feels like you're just giving reviewer feedback that they should improve their introduction by giving more context, which is a quality of writing issue not an ethical one.

If they were to mention you the reader would assume they knew about your work before publication, and the next question would be "why haven't they compared their model to their sources"

Simultaneous publication happens all the time, and it's entirely possible for both papers to be novel. Asking the slower paper to redo work and rewrite just isn't practical, and could be a never ending treadmill.

They went through "De Novo" premarket review as their medical device was distinct from any previous devices. This is a higher standard than the normal "510(k)" process. Both tracks involve a lot of evidence, a lot of documents, and a lot of scrutiny from the FDA.

They went through the harder track of FDA approval for medical devices.

I have no idea why you seem to think the primary way for the FDA to approve of new treatments is somehow... not them approving of it?

The wording is really poor. "Pre-market authorization" is their approval process. As in, you don't get to tell anybody that your device has any medical benefit unless we've assessed it.
