I assume that observation applies to more than just front-end development. At least I've personally seen the effect more generally.

I think another self-interested actor is the "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" manager, except that, today, it's not IBM. IBM has, of course, been replaced by whichever technology is currently in high repute. They need never gain technical knowledge themselves.

Granted, in some cases, that's actually a case of legitimate delegation to their engineers (whose conflicting interests you've addressed), but, since they have the same access to the Internet as everyone else, that can't be assumed.

> And since self interest is involved the arguments become needlessly charged.

I hadn't fully considered that until now.

That isn't to say that I'm not a cynic, but, rather, that, for example, the average HN commenter may not want to come to terms with having, even to a slight degree, such self interest. That can lead a form of needlessly charged argument, defensiveness, that wouldn't necessarily be obvious otherwise.

In a professional setting, it can lead to seemingly-irrational decisions in the face of overwhelming evidence that the other way is better.

What's so hard to understand?

I'm an aerospace engineer and I specialize in rockets. I understand that the nature of my work will almost always 100% benefit the weapons industry because there's just no avoiding it. When I started my career ~10 years ago I worked on a defense project as I was a fresh graduate and had no choice, but nowadays I make it very clear to prospective companies that while I have no issues with my colleagues working on weapons, I myself will absolutely, under no circumstances, work on defense funded projects in any capacity. Most companies from my experience are willing to work with you on this especially because a lot of them are already set up for segregated access.

The fault in your thinking is that you seem to think it needs to be an "all or nothing" choice. It's not, and it doesn't need to be. I try to be green and recycle everything I can, but I don't lose sleep over throwing plastic away in the garbage because I do what I can. I'm 99% vegetarian because of my views on animal ethics and I honestly can't remember the last time I've bought meat for my personal consumption, but I have no qualms about going to a friend's backyard BBQ and eating the same grilled burgers that everyone else is enjoying because I do what I can. For this reason, I choose to not work directly on weapons, despite the fact that basically all rocket related technologies can be applied to weapons, because that is something that I can not change, so I do what I can, which in this case is refusing to work on defense funded projects.

I wouldn’t say the issue is really the reputation, people read the paper because it’s literally stuffed in their face. When you are on a train for 30 minutes with no data or WiFi, there’s not much else to do.

This is the most critical aspect. We have enough trouble already without the compiler actually fighting against security because this would fail in a machine from the 70s

I don't have an opinion about China, but just in general, I'm sure they don't have data from the future :-) I would say it is okay to say that about such predictions. There are others that don't rely as much on past data, but especially this kind of prediction surely is entirely based on numbers from the past, or do we have a model that reliably predicts those outcomes from at least present data (i.e. less data from people, but that it uses data about the circumstances, like amount & quality of sanitation and food)? If the model is purely based on human population statistics it's 100% past.

> One last thing to leave with. I have a page builder much like Elementor. In jQuery I'm doing a lot with the Dom and it's such a pain in the ass. It's about 20k LOC alone with hundreds of functions.

> Today, with Vue. I prototyped a JSX/JSON backed version, where a watcher listens to the store. The UI commits any changes to the store and the watcher re-renders the HTML. I did this with just ~90 LOC.

The community with the first decent (open-source or paid) page builder gets my vote. I could use that in so many projects (and tell people "Yes it's WordPress" when the underlying tech is something else).

I was expecting it to be React, with each component having a frontend view and an admin view, and then I'd do server-side-rendering, but happy if it's VueJS...
They deserve every bit of praise considering the fact that China was known as the 'land of famine' for majority of its history [0] -- having suffered their last major famine in the 1960s [1], that's just 60 years ago -- a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things. The turnaround is truly impressive for a country the size of China. Makes one wonder about the power of free markets in lifting huge segments of the population from immense poverty.

The distro package manager is there to provide your day to day apps and the libraries to support it.

Sooner or later you will run into an issue where your development work will depend on a (version) of a library that will break an app you depend on.

Or you will need two versions of a library for your previous and next release which both need maintenance.

Nor do they provide reproducible builds and other features that are needed for serious work.

Distro package managers are not suited for development and dependency management. They might work most of the time, but that is not good enough.

Plenty of people have argued that the problem is not the quality of the school but the quality of the students attending it - a.k.a the "culture of poverty" https://thesocietypages.org/roundtables/culture-of-poverty/

In fact, some of them are referred to in the study itself as an example of the debate they are addressing - "Advocates of the community-focused
approach argue that teachers and school administrators are dealing with issues that originate
outside the classroom, citing research that shows racial and socioeconomic achievement gaps are
present before children enter school (Fryer and Levitt 2004; 2006) and that one-third to one-half
of the gap can be explained by family-environment indicators (Meredith Phillips, James Crouse,
and John Ralph 1998; Fryer and Levitt 2004). In this scenario, combating poverty and having
more constructive out-of-school time may lead to better and more-focused instruction in school.
Indeed, James Coleman et al. (1966), in their famous report on equality of educational
opportunity, argue that schools alone cannot treat the problem of chronic underachievement in
urban schools. "

What I can't work out from both the article and the comments here: from an application point of view, do I use this like I use memory, or do I use it like I use a disk?

No matter how fast a disk is, using it means either some expensive serialization/deserialization step (and also the associated memory access to create the 'working' object that my logic actually works on) or writing my algorithms to forego in memory objects (and the associated features offered by my programming language, e.g. classes / objects or whatever) and working from the raw byte values.

What I really want, and would be a game changer as to how we use things, would be that my programming languages heap can be made persistent (or at least a part of it). In this case instead of:

var mything = new Thing();
load_thing_from_disk(mything);

I might have:

persistent var mything = new Thing();

Done. However this also introduces more questions, like transactional commits to memory etc (as few apps are coded to ensure consistency of memory across reboots).

However I cant help thinking that some way to harness persistent fast memory without needed some complex disk->logic mapping would be a game changer.

This is pretty funny. Frontend isn't "unstable". We have made it unstable with "modern" frameworks and libraries. The web is one of the most stable things ever built. There are sites from the early 90s still chugging along. That's more than you can say for most "front ends".

The better question is why did we fuck everything up so badly and call it "modern" as if the other methods of doing frontend development are prehistoric caveman shit. That's the fucking joke.

In England it's illegal to

induce someone to become a prostitute

solicit in a public place

kerb crawl

run a brothel

earn money from someone else being a prostitute

have sex with someone who's been forced into prostitution even if you didn't know

have sex with someone who's been trafficed, even if you didn't know (and trafficing includes being transported around England, not just into England).

So, yes, two people exhanging money for sex is legal, but actually carrying out that arrangement is difficult.

I do find a bit of the argument hyperbolic... My preference today is Koa + about 3-5 modules (including 1-2 custom) on the backend and React, Redux, Redux-thunks, redux-first-router and fetch (in most browsers) on the front end. For UI, will generally suggest bootstrap or material-ui (the library). create-react-app does take a lot of the guesswork out of the front-end.

In the end, front/back-end tech grows at an incredible pace. Look at go, rust, .Net Core and a half dozen other options that sprung up in the past 6-8 years and all the frameworks around them. It isn't new. Last generation(s) it was Python, Ruby, C#, Java and on, and on... this isn't new.

It makes me think that privacy is highly underestimated by Facebook. While it was once their key value proposition that real identity was desirable on a social site, with increasing political polarization and increased threats of government surveillance, the roles are now reversed and we'll continue to see privacy being treasured.

I have a Facebook account I NEVER post to and only check twice a week for about 30 seconds each instance. I do however spend an inordinate amount of time on Reddit. So much so that I deliberately have to wean myself off Reddit otherwise I'll waste too much time on it.

if you have a high quality school with motivated students

Sure, but how do you motivate the students? Does that come automatically with a high quality school or is there more to it? How big a part of a achievement is the motivation and how big part is the school? If you take a failing kid from a poor school and 'force' him to go to a good school is that enough to get the desired improvements? Could you achieve similar effect by just focusing more on the motivation side?

While I do have lots of hunches and guesses, I don't see any obvioulsy self-evident answers to any of the questions.

Well, I think this why Google has been so good at controlling their employees to stay within the margins of Google’s business interests. It creates a vibrant illusion of consequential debate and “resistance,” while keeping all the real power in the hands of a few executives.

Don’t get me wrong, Google employees have ways to put a stop to things like this project. But they’re not to be found in these pseudo-battles of their internal forums. Employees have to organize outside of company channels, withdraw their labor, or quit like those who were already brave enough to do so.
Of course, it comes at a cost: These dimms have several orders of magnitude higher latency and a fraction of the throughput of DRAM.

Once you introduce volatile memory as highspeed buffer, the coolness factor drops quite a bit as you end up in the same volatile/non-volatile tiered storage split that we have always had. It's just back on a parrallel bus like in the good ol' days of PATA.

> Many other tools are doing nothing nefarious with data

You're missing the point of the danger then.

Facebook isn't doing anything "nefarious" with the data either. And yet Cambridge Analytica happened.

Fact of the matter is, it's not what you do with the data that counts the most, the biggest problem being that the data gets collected in the first place without users being aware of it, or aware of implications.

How many users do you think are aware that Facebook follows them around the web and that this might affect their credit score, or the price they pay for their health insurance in the future? How many people in a minority, e.g. of a certain religion or of a certain sexual orientation, do you think are aware that their habits can be used to precisely identify their identity and preferences, which could put many such individuals in life threatening situations?

Of course, you might be a responsible company, you might actually do good by your users and customers, but if the users don't expect tracking to be part of the service and if making them aware makes those users to not opt-in, then you are doing something nefarious by definition.

Which is what GDPR is about.

It is the runtime from the Silverlight Project, which evolved over the years for their Windows Phone and later UWP platforms. .NET Core is a very old platform already. It shares the jitter and the garbage collector with the full framework.
