From what I can perceive, he has a poor habit of not sticking to something. Yes, there are ups and downs in all entrepreneurial journeys. Focusing and persevering as opposed to becoming emotional (both in the ups and downs) paves success.

"If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:"

Yes, you can't have a taxi service if it isn't end to end.

So this would be a feature in a car you own. And many manufacturers are heading there incrementally with assistive driving features. Key questions are at which point you can say "Doze off if you like" (And is there a point before that where drivers will doze off anyway because the system is good enough that they stop paying attention.)
If my memory serves me right, it's Python/Django. I contracted in that department a few years ago.

> A lot of understanding in psychology/health from a few decades ago seem to be deemed nonsensical nowadays, and in many of the cases I agree with the newer conclusions.

This is why the Lindy heuristic mentioned by a sibling comment to yours is relevant.

If X% of the consensus in a field was overturned twenty years ago, then again ten years ago, your expectation should be that in ten years, X% of the current consensus will be thrown out as nonsense as well. So it's not necessarily that the old information was more accurate, but you can't interpret the new information well without it. What's X in your field? Maybe 5%, maybe 80%, then you should look at the field very differently.

Of course, you could be living through another annus mirabilis, where a new consensus is established that then stands for centuries. But this is by definition unlikely, so there must be strong evidence available.
Space tech might be considerably further along today, had we in the U.S. not limited our R&D after 1969. A reusable shuttle that cost over $1B per flight was interesting innovation in 1981, but it actually represented a dead end for the U.S. rather than the beginning of a new era of exploration.

I think the most interesting exemplar of this is Star Trek. As everyone knows, Star Trek is based on 19th century naval warfare. The battle scenes are hilarious-- a captain calling out orders at human speeds to his crew that executes them.

It's been obvious for 40 years that computers would do the fighting, but in 1966 it wasn't obvious, so the paradigm was Horatio Hornblower.

I've also found that it results in a non responsive webpage. For instance, text taking multiple seconds to render in an input box (Slack, Facebook, amongst others) and times where the browser tab process ends up allocating a signficant percentage of system resident memory and/or CPU resources, which makes the computer itself slow to respond.
I spent two months hitchhiking around Egypt in 2008, after coming down from Europe and passing through the countries along the way. I found Egypt to be by far the most Salafist-leaning of the countries I passed through, far stricter in its understanding of Islam than Turkey or the Levant. When mentioning the Ancient Egyptian past to the average Egyptian (i.e. not some Cairo elites), the response was usually that even talking about all that was haram.

So, when a person's firsthand experience of Egypt was like that, naturally one of the first things that will come to mind is “Hmm, I wonder how the local Egyptian people felt about this procession.” I do find it hard to believe that the population has become less strict in its interpretation since 2013, even if their room for applying their beliefs politically has narrowed.
When I was in school, a lot of the teachers would create Facebook Groups per class to share documents, prep-work, assignments etc..

I think the school moved to a self hosted Moodle[0] by now, but when I was there having a Facebook account was definitely required.

It’s happening for a very particular reason imho. Frameworks like React create infinite ways one can structure and compose components. What once used to be a <Select> can now become

<DropDown>

And or

<EnhancedDropdown disableEnhance={isEnhanced}>

And or

<MultiSelectWithAutocompleteAndSearchBar onlySingleSelectionAllowed={true}>.

Then you can compose all of those together into:

<ThisComponentMakesSenseToOnlyMeDropDown show={isDropdown && !Carousel && showCarousel}
totallyDifferentData={totallyDifferentData}
enhanceWith={<EnhancedDropdown>}
replaceWith={<CarouselWithNoDropDown> >

^ That’s where all the complexity is coming from. I will not even attempt to demonstrate my point by adding context and global stores into this.

Small bit of bitterness:

Then you make a nice little storybook component, and a jest snapshot to show that this is a nice ‘testable’ component, you know, like really dot your I’s and cross your T’s.

Back to my point:

This is powerful in the purest sense, as it’s super flexible, but also powerful in a way that can create insane amounts of complexity with different mindsets contributing. Not everyone sees a regular <DropDown>, some see all kinds of things.

I think a lot of the fragility (perhaps the better word is instability) comes from this power (chaotic, out of control power). I hope web components at the very least creates a standard list of UI components (the browser doesn’t even have a default modal yet, still rolling with alert(), and if you leave it to the wider community to make it, we will end up with <AbstractModal>).
If you're a startup, the short answer is you usually don't.

The first thing to realize is that with enterprise customers, having a good product might be enough to get your foot in the door --- if you're lucky.

Then they'll start asking about your company, your organization, how many employees you have, do you provide them with health insurance, do you have a big fancy office, do you have any other large customers, how much market capitalization do you have, etc., etc..

3 guys with a good idea and a good product still have the deck stacked way against them.

Elephants are rare and it requires big bucks just to take a realistic shot at them. Smaller game is a much easier target --- there are a lot more of them and your chances of success are much better.

To be honest, I think it's browser-specific. I use Brave, and everything is snappy. Occasionally, I use someone else's computer w/ stock Chrome or stock Safari, and it's a total shitshow. Decent ad / tracker blocking makes a massive difference. I don't think it's frameworks as much as it's all of the other analytics and bloat.
With fantasy novels specifically, yes people do want a tour guide. The Way Of Kings being 5x as long with 0.5x the plot movement of Mistborn didn't happen because brandon sanderson forgot how to write. It happens because Epic Fantasy as a genre is, in part, about being lead through a world.

Frontend dev usually includes dev of backend components that serve the frontend. Even serving static html files has to scale to every user.
Some things that have changed:

1) We've gone from function to content mostly.

'Apps' used to mostly deal with files, like Word, otherwise, hey were standalone. Now we deal with an incredibly variety of content.

2) We've traded consistency and reliability for speed to market, and rapid evolution.

App releases were once a year, web releases can be daily.

In other words 'the web' is not 'about apps', it's about something slightly different.
Liability is certainly one issue that will have to be dealt with. Outside of drug side effects, there are very few products sold to consumers that, if used and maintained properly, will still sometimes randomly kill people and we shrug our collective shoulders because "stuff happens."

Haskell would be better if it used polarity and focusing to make both strict and lazy evaluation first-class citizens in the language. A stricrly-evaluated counterpart to Haskell is just ML, which we've had since the 1970s.
These scales are both arbitrary. Celsius is super useful if you are concerned with phase transitions of water in the presence of a gas at 101,325 Pa of pressure - it's hard to do much better, really. But what if we wanted to design a scale for measuring the typical range of air temperatures experienced outside in the temperate climates on Earth? You said you are from northwest Germany, which is a fairly temperate climate - to pick an arbitrary city there, the record low in Bremen is -23.6 C and the record high is 37.6 C. So perhaps for our hypothetical scale for Bremen (let's label its units B) a good range would be to set 0 B to -23.6 C and 100 B to 37.6 C to capture this range. In this scale 0 C would end up being 38.6 B and 100 C would end up being 202 B... values that are curiously close to an existing temperature scale.

The B scale would be useful for talking about the outdoor air temperature in Bremen. Would the B temperature scale be useful for talking about atmospheric temperature on Mars? Not any more or less so than C... there's no real inherit advantage to either. The choice you make would likely be based on what your primary audience is more familiar with. If you wanted to force your readers to read a unit that would somehow promote scientific literacy you'd probably go with the Kelvin scale since 0 K is not arbitrary (although the unit magnitude still is).

Personally I'm not hoping to live forever, but I would like to live a larger proportion of my life healthily. The current method of treating the symptoms of age rather than the cause do nothing but extend suffering.

Not at all, they certainly are linked, I don't think anyone can deny that. What I disagree with is the idea that death gives meaning to life.

Elon is selling a "Full Self Driving car" that is not full self driving at all by Tesla's own admission. It isn't doing the thing it is advertised to do.

Calling an L2 car "full self driving" is incredibly irresponsible. I personally hope Musk faces consequences when yet another Tesla kills someone because of false advertising.
That's an ML problem. Building out a factory to produce 100K cars is expensive: ask Tesla how much they've spent to hit their production goals, how many engineer/tech-years, and how much in supply chain effort it is.

You just don't build that many prototypes, period, even if you're a trillion dollar company.

You only build that many if they're saleable as real products so you can get market feedback that yes you're going down the right path.

82,000 doesn't sound like much, but for a prototype build with yield rates that are undoubtedly shitty, non-final hardware, and required automotive-spec that is completely nuts. There's a reason why it's dropped to 600 so far and it's because they haven't finalized the hardware and they realize they aren't ready for mass production yet.

Honestly, even 600 prototypes sounds like a lot to me for something as complicated and expensive as a car, but I don't work in that field so I can't say what normal is. It's about right for beyond-the-prototype-and-trying-to-get-to-a-manufacturable-product in consumer or industrial hardware, depending on the target market size.

What's an example of a web application (preferably open source examples) or type of web application where you really really want things like React and Redux? Or broader SPA features like component-ization and state management on the client-side?

Background: I've taken a break from front-end engineering but I'm looking at front-end positions and need some re-convincing, myself on some of the bigger design questions.

In my own experience, with some distance, I'm thinking none of them needed Redux, however this one is low hanging fruit and un-controversial. Most components don't even seem to get re-used in my experience. They're just split up because mega-functions are bad for other reasons. The ones that _do_ tend to get re-used are so simple that I'm not sure if I really even care about 1-way data flow, time travel, and all the supposed benefits I received.

So tl;dr I'm looking for stark examples where you could say "this project would have had less success without (insert core modern SPA technique)"
I think the big revolutions are going to be in biology - fast super computers allows us to make advances we couldn't have made any other way.

Computers are an enabling technology for basically every other advancement - in fact it's hard to imagine breakthroughs at this point that don't involve computers in some way - even 'just' as a tool for collaboration.
If you adopt microfrontends, you can ship your app as N number of smaller bundles, instead of one monolithic bundle. The Webpack performance in this setup brings me joy. It's not 10ms to bundle, but 2-3 seconds cold boot in dev mode is completely acceptable, with rebuilds nearly instantaneous.

This setup is described in more detail in single-spa's documentation.
Wide angle "lens" (done in software). The cheap security cameras I use at home do it by default. Not as obviously distorted as a real fisheye lens, but still effective.
That might change the limit on how big the UI can be, but it changes nothing fundamental. As far as I'm aware of what Figma can do (we use it at work but I use it seldom directly), you could implement the same thing with DOM elements or simply with SVG. It's not fundamentally different to the Pipes UI I did implement with Raphael.

Some quick feedback on the mobile layout, there isn't a lot of the actual blog post text visible due to the margins. I would suggest allowing the url and text to span the full width of the page. Also I would increase the margin between the title and the icon and star button, and potentially remove the word "star" to give more breathing room. It might also be nice to make the sidebar buttons an overlay to give more width as well.

Where I work it's because we have all of these frontend developers and they need work to do. We keep sticking with ReactJS as the default because we have these folks and theres a snowballs chance in hell that they'd go, from their perspective, backwards in terms of the technology they use to do their jobs.
On the other side of this, some people require external emotional regulation because their brains fail to do so for them and take medication for it.
