It's the same as it's ever been. The same mistakes, the same things done right, just all in different shaped packages.

Fundamentally it comes down to the same thing: use appropriate tech. Use it because you should and not because you can. Don't build a SPA if you can do it in a simpler way with plain HTML and CSS. Don't build an app if you need a website. Don't bother with some enormous backend horror if your site is never going to need to scale to that size.

It was the same way back with Flash, dhtml, html5, early JavaScript, CSS, Dreamweaver, whatever - if you need something, use it, if you don't, don't.
I will keep using YAML because I don't want to learn the pitfalls of your alternatives. With YAML everyone is complaining about the pitfalls, and therefore everyone is aware of them. A random replacement may not have this particular problem, but it may have other problems that remain unknown.
I predict that in 10-15 years, no major car company will offer self driving features (besides auto breaking and maybe "beep when out of lane"). When you get hit by random Joe in normal car, he has mortgage and $5000 in the bank. It makes no sense to sue. But when you get hit by self driving car, there's company behind it, you can sue for millions. Everybody and their dog will be doing it till they stop offering self driving features or they go bankrupt, whichever comes first.
You are confused about your comparisons because the largest reason for FE failure is bloated code, an unrelated problem to the dangers of C.

thanks and this isn't what I'm asking about, I'm aware of all of this (background in physics and in music performance).

of course people can hear and distinguish mathematically pure intervals especially if demonstrated in these ways.

you said,

> This brings some practical musical advantages, but even the average listener can hear the difference, the loss of purity of harmony

which I interpreted as meaning that average listeners are both hearing and actively aware of this difference in their day-to-day exposure to equal-tempered music.

I am very skeptical of this claim, but perhaps this is not what you intended to imply? I can understand why my question would lead to yours and geofft's answers.
The top 100 hasn't been a relevant indicator of modern music since Napster. The top 100 is a record industry owned entity with a tremendous amount of self-interest.

If you can't find more diverse modern music than the top 100 offers today you're not trying that hard.
> As a 1:1 exact problem, no of course. As an analog to challenges, sure.

I disagree.

> So given the option of hit this biker or swerve into oncoming traffic, they would chose the biker.

You act like this is really complicated, but given that self-driving cars generally are quite conservative in their dynamics and where they choose to go, this is pretty much the default behavior. Swerving into oncoming traffic is just not in their DNA right now, even in the rare circumstances where it's advantageous. Right now there's some work on aggressive dynamics for difficult situations, but this will tend to be underused not overused (just like it is by humans).

Doing the default, conservative thing is generally the self-protective one.

What we're missing in front-end development is more abstracting away solved problems so you don't have to think about them ever again.

Shared frameworks and libraries do help significantly with this but the fact that they still undergo substantial churn tells me they haven't completely solved the problems they address. When's the last time you needed to drop down into Assembly to fix your JavaScript? Probably never—you can operate at that higher level, which lowers barriers to entry and increases productivity for developers. (Put your hand down, you wonderful machine code hobbyist, you.) In contrast, we still "drop down" from web app components into JS/HTML/CSS all the time.

I doubt that the contract between the company operating the ship and the canal authority includes the settlement of disputes in Egyptian court. If it goes this way, the company may seek for compensation abroad - this will damage the reputation of Egypt and result in a very long and difficult litigations everywhere around the world.

Besides that, new risks associated to this route may push shippers to look more closely to an alternative route. Northern route is much shorter, does not have vessel size limits and it becomes more easier to navigate with global warming. It's not hard to imagine ice class nuclear merchant ships carrying 30-40k TEU there in 10 years.
Is there an example of how many function executions property based testing causes?
Javascript being enabled by default motivates developers to include javascript in their site by default. It was a mistake.
Given that a lot of people have the title “front end web developer” of course there’s going to be backlash. Most people aren’t unbiased enough to hate on the thing they’ve spent years mastering.

Frankly front end web development is a huge mess if you look at it from an unbiased perspective. HTML wasn’t designed for multimedia, JavaScript was designed in a week. Now the entire modern industry of web development are a series of endless hacks built on top of the old framework. React, typescript, css are all skin grafts on top of technology that was designed for something else. Of course the end result is going to be inefficient. The entire web is new tech patching up old tech. It’s like the 737 max, all of modern web development is an MCAS on top of html. It’s not even a single thing. It’s like hundreds and hundreds of MCAS’s with some MCAS’s built to patch up other MCAS’s.

The fix of course is to start from scratch. Given all of our knowledge of Modern web GUIs design a singular native api that can achieve what we need with significantly less complexity and better performance.

Of course some front end engineer with 10 years of experience isn’t going to openly embrace a new api that is not only better but can possibly mastered in a month by any average dev. If you’re primarily a front end developer I have to say that I cannot trust your opinion. I do not believe any person has the impartialness to deride the very thing that defines their career and expertise. Literally front end developers are just experts at navigating a universe of patches and hacks and no such dev wants to admit it.

I’m interested in peoples opinions though, it’s just in a thread like this it’s impossible to get an unbiased opinion.
X Windows was an option back in the 90's, and with frameworks like Motif++ it was kind of ok.

Mongodb is pretty limited with geospatial stuff.

It's great for basic things, but the geo index is considered a "special" index.

You can only use one "special" index at a time in a query, so (for example) you can't combine a full-text search with geo queries.

Neuralink's tech is definitely more advanced, but they haven't gotten it into humans yet and there are still issues with the longevity of the threads inside an actual human brain.
If the attacker is logged into the Cloudflare control panel, where presumably the warning would be displayed — where else could it be displayed? certainly not on the content served to end users — then, yes, the attacker could clear the warning. They could also change the origin servers, or do countless other things to disrupt service, that do not require modifying an origin server. I consider that an acceptable failure case for the warning.

I'm not arguing for or against ownership verification, but there is opportunity to improve here that does not depend on the question of ownership verification.

I was able to dive right in and read it. I don’t think every blog post needs to be a standalone document. I’m always surprised at the whiny comments from HN readers like the one above: for a site that likes to act tech savvy, some folks on here are shockingly incapable of using a basic search engine to do their own background reading.
> sites that are unable to obey the most basic rules of navigation and usability, terribly slow despite the hardware progresses. And I can only think that modern frontend development has failed.

We have more information and services available than ever before. And it's never been cheaper or easier to start something new.

I don't know what "basic rules of navigation and usability" the author is referring to, but I virtually never come across a site that can't be navigated or isn't usable. And all software gets "slower" as hardware grows faster [1], it's not anything specific to the web.

The web is amazing, nothing has failed, sheesh. Yes there's always going to be room for improvements both in speed and usability -- developers are human, nothing will ever be perfect -- but the idea that the most popular digital interface technology of all time has "failed" is ludicrous.

Figma is written in C++ and compiled to wasm, and it's amazing, you're right.

But that approach represents maybe 0.001% of modern front end development. The curent popular path is React/Vue and the endless JS toolchains to compile these horrible bloated broken apps.

I travel a lot and have gotten quite used to browsing on airplane WiFi, so a similar low-bandwidth experience (at times).

I'll add a huge culprit to the list: Medium. They have their own "clever" code to progressively load images and I find it absurdly frustrating (because in most scenarios, the images just don't ever load), so I end up with lots of design articles with blurry blobs of color instead of images.

There are so many ways to natively progressively load images that I'm not sure why they've chosen the most user-hostile one. You see blurry blobs of color in no particular order, no indication of which ones are loading, no way to force a particular image, etc. I find myself frustrated often and I end up abandoning most of the stories (or avoiding Medium altogether).
I guess a possibility would also be to use one of these https://ergodox-ez.com/. They allow quite some customization.
xamber's point remains valid though -

while code may move to the frontend, the notion of scaling isn't a function of the number of users (as the original op erroneously states).

maybe they meant their front end code scales as complexity is moved from server to client? that would make sense.

They do have contracts and Terms of Service when there's a six figure number involved just to cross the channel. How the contracts are judged could indeed be a matter of jurisdiction, but the terms wont be nice to begin with.

At one billion I reckon its a matter of foreign relation so they won't be ripped off in a dark back alley.

And in return they receive protection from other claimants, who will have to bear their own risks no doubt.

Especially if it was force majeure as the GP implied.
Yeah, it sounds like you may not understand internet trolling. People have gone and will go to great lengths and expenses to troll big corps just for the laughs, internet points, and/or to cause big corps even a little bit of pain.

There’s also a bit of art to trolling, too, which is again part of the fun.

Not sure why this is so surprising.

Ouch. I wonder if it's time to cryptographically sign those values or add a checksum or something.
Frontend development is fine. People failed at it.

...and yet 1/3rd of the food is thrown away/perish globally.

There is a lot of excessive waste / inefficiencies due to energy being -- relatively -- cheap.

If energy prices soar, many inefficiencies will get more attention. Like, if food becomes more expensive we would stop throwing away 1/3 of it. (And more houses would get proper insulation. And so on.)
I have a mnemonic short story in my head that places modernists and post-modernists roughly in first and second half.

> Post-modernism reacted to the modernists high ideals and empty promises. After all, it was their era (the modernists) that sparked the Great War which introduced the world to the new era industrialized warfare. Not once, but twice. Post-modernists arrived into this new Cold world that was left.
> Others say that the web is slow because of ADs

This is pretty much objective truth in my mind. I might agree with people who hate the web if I always had to browse with ads enabled.
A first order approximation is always less accurate than a zeroth order approximation for bounded functions, as the first order approximation will have unbounded error whereas the zeroth order approximation will not -- unless you are in the degenerate case of the first order itself being exactly zero. The first order approximation is infinitely worse. Most (all?) things in the world are bounded. Hence if you must choose between just a first and zero-th order approximation, the zero-th order is the way to go for long run predictions. Cue the XKCD comic about the expected number of weddings.

On the other hand, if you are not interested in making long run predictions but only short run predictions, then first order approximations will tend to be more accurate in a small region around the base, but that region might be quite small.
That is how progress works. Lots of things were researched or invented before progress in other areas (materials, economics, society, other scientific finds...) made these findings useful or even feasible. You never know when and why you will need this, the only thing you know - it will be used eventually. Maybe this will give some important clues into the future interstellar travel, maybe the tricks and technologies invented for this mission will be used elsewhere, maybe sample will give important clues into the origins and probability of life.

I was pretty excited when I started learning about BCIs in college. Then I realized that it’s not that my hands and eyes are some sort of limited bandwith, but rather that my brain is not really able to increase the throughput. How many of you code at the speed you type?

While I appreciate that they are game changers to people with accessibility problems, they’re essentially not worth the risk to anyone else.
There's also the option of only allowing automated cars on the road. This obviously won't happen on a national level in any country any time soon, but I could see it being on a city-by-city basis.

The biggest issue with autonomous travel is that it needs a 0% failure rate. Anything worse than that is not good enough, even if it's safer than non-autonomous driving by an order of magnitude.

Why does that make sense? More available music should imply a more varied range of good music to rise to the top.

Regarding Omouamoua, we just observed for the first time in human history, a cylinder or plate shaped object from another star flying through our solar system with questionable orbital velocities (we are not quite sure how to explain a small acceleration it had). A cylinder/plate is not a low energy geometry (things like to turn into spherical type objects over time), it's from another solar system, we don't know very much about it. How could you not want to visit it?

It's an opportunity to pull off a speed and distance record, visit something from another solar system, resolve big research questions about its shape, composition, origin and rule out any theories of its possible intelligent origin. They are also pursuing it to showcase the benefits of nuclear heat for space.
>Doing the default, conservative thing is generally the self-protective one.

Yes, given that scenario, the "correct" response is almost certainly to lay on your brakes not to get into a head-on collision with another moving vehicle. And while one can construct trolley-type scenarios, braking hard is generally the right choice unless you think you can safely swerve.
iTunes was never as good as any of the free music managers out there at the time. It lacked most serious features that users with a real collection (of their own) might need. Anything related to finding, sorting, organizing, naming, changing metadata, moving, sharing, re-ripping, ripping at all, etc. were severely crippled. Perhaps that's because SoundJam didn't build those features. But they stayed unbuilt because Apple didn't want them.

As far as the raw UI, they were shown to the door by Zune which was a massive failure! Couldn't Apple with its money and music business success have made Zune or something even better? Of course they could. They had an early lead. My point is they chose not to because openness and control in music (or anything else) is antithetical to their business model. This adversarial view of users is also what lead to terrible iTunes bugs like eating your music, which others also recall well.
I have seen that. That is a particular edge case for some reason, which will be fixed soon. Nothing to worry about.

agreed. modern music is "off tune" relative to just intonation - which is barely used largely because we have evolved to appreciate the aesthetics of modulation, something that is extremely limited in just intonation. it's perfectly in tune relative to equal intonation.
What metric are you using for saying they are the market leader? Autopilot has been around for longer and is deployed to more cars and works in more situations than super cruise which still requires mapped roads. The only advantage I can see for super cruise is that they have a driver monitoring that doesnt require pressure on the wheel.
