It sure looks like we’re nearing the “peak Java Enterprise Edition” moment for frontend web development space.

We got here honestly: Single Page Apps made “fat” clients possible in the browser, but that meant a lot of logic had to move to the front end, so they naturally became bigger and more complex. Meanwhile, we still want to have the “lazy installation” experience of browsing to a web page and having things load quickly, and this adds all sorts of complexity like bundle splitting, hydration, “edge” hosting, etc.

I’m not sure where we go from here, complexity-wise, but here are some guesses:

* no/low code will produce a new “ruby on rails” for the modern SPA space. (There are already contenders.)
* increased environment complexity will move development into the cloud and off of our local machines.
* there won’t be a sudden disappearance of the older approaches, just like SPAs didn’t kill RoR.

The C89/99 standard is rather small, it is relatively easy (certainly compared to C++) to know it almost fully. But the devil is in the details, it is very important to fully understand how C treats pointers, and how close to the hardware the language is, this is where the caveats are.

This was my exact thought as well. This trend of hiding pricing until after sign up (getting my eval address) feels really sleazy, to me. I'd much rather see the pricing upfront as that has a huge impact on my decision. Then I can quickly decide if this product is for me or not. This is an instant bail, again, for me.

I do not believe that I do or do not have the right to download a movie I couldn't find elsewhere, because I believe that "right" is a meaningless word in this context (the context being colloquial/moral, of course - not legal). This arises when an object becomes "hyper-available", as most digital content is - i.e. near-zero reproduction/distribution cost/friction. I wouldn't say, "I have a right to pick this flower from of a field of wildflowers", or "I have a right to sip water from this waterfall", because the framing is nonsensical. "Right" is simply a too-dramatic word for what is actually being described.

It would be like if people tried to restrict the functionality of Star Trek matter replicators for entertainment purposes. It makes sense economically for those individuals, but it's fallacious in a "common sense" context.

The "PHP is full of amateurs" trope is so tired.

You know why there are amateurs? Because it's simple, understandable, maintainable, low barrier of entry.

You know what amateurs do with simple things and time? Become professionals. Then they solve other people's problems, rather than solve never-ending developer problems we create ourselves.

Having done PHP development for +12 years, I have never once had a debate about getters and setters. Nor did I know that was something to even debate about.

I'm not in the US, and I have about the same subscriptions (I also have Netflix). YouTube Premium, while expensive, granted, is the streaming service I get the most joy from. Netflix I would cancel in a heartbeat, if they crack down on sharing of logins, I only maintain that because my sister and sister in-law use it. HBO... My wife likes so, we keep it.

There is NO WAY that I'm going back to ad based streaming, or TV for that matter. If I forget to login to YouTube, or have to watch local TV programming with ads I get super angry, it is god damn awful. It's offensive and obnoxious.

One interesting thing I have notice, in regard to YouTube: While some channels are absolute garbage, professional YouTubes have better storylines and better editing that national broadcasters in Denmark. There's one or two good shows, but modern programming on Danish TV is terrible. There's no sense of storytelling, there are jump-cuts everywhere and camera handlings is subpar to be honest. I am amazed what some YouTubers are able to produce, it's well researched, it's filmed beautifully, storytelling right on point and the editing is just beautiful. Not saying that there isn't a lot of low budget and low quality, but when a channel like Bald and Bankrupts was able to outshine a national broadcast on all measures that matter to me, on a weekly basis, there's something wrong.
I think we'll just go back to the old approaches. I already build apps with thin frontends, and maybe use HTMX if desired. Fat frontends aren't worth the complexity unless you have an interactive app (e.g. Google Docs), which you very probably don't.

This is great advice. One of the things I learned from the pandemic experience was how little money I needed to spend to be happy. I spent countless hours making music using iOS apps that cost next to nothing. The possession that’s given me the most joy over the past year is an old acoustic guitar that someone gave to me, free of charge, that sent me down the path of learning a traditional musical instrument for the first time.

I used to think that if I had enough money I’d travel. We have savings now that would support living abroad, and I can work anywhere, but after doing a bunch of traveling I find I’m always happy to be back home. I like cooking my own food, seeing family and friends, sticking with my familiar routines, and so on.

I recognize that sometimes funds are needed for things that would truly make a material difference to happiness, such as being able to sponsor family to immigrate or pay for a child’s education. If your decline in wealth impacts those things, then you (OP) have my sympathy, and I hope if you are patient then these things will still be possible for you. But if that is not the situation, the old aphorism that money does not buy happiness is very true. We don’t often live like it is, but it is.
> It does raise the question of whether or not the shallow memes and 2 minute youtube videos that make up our "shared experiences" today are comparable to the shared experiences of the past which typically conveyed more depth, information, and meaning.

I don't really think they are comparable in any meaningful way. To bring any comparison we would try to make a little more towards apples-to-apples, let's just consider the subject of war. On one side, let's take the entirety of the MASH run, 250-odd episodes, and on take a handful of 2 minute compilations from the war in Ukraine. IMO more depth, info and meaning about war is more easily accessible from the meme-videos; It's impossible not to be viscerally affected when you watch a grenade drop a couple hundred feet onto some poor bastard below. MASH have may moments like "Keep that damn chicken quiet!" but it just isn't the same, nor as true.

Out of curiosity, when you wonder about "comparability" in this context, what metrics of qualities are you thinking about including in the comparison?
Why? If you're using vim you could care less how emacs, intellij etc. do things.

It sounds like something a motivated person should research and write a blog post or article about the different ways of jumping to code in different editors and different plugins. I don't think this is something every single project maintainer should have to research and educate users about, they have far better things to do with their time.

I actually do have an economic technical solution to the issue of remote authentication of user’s physical presence using zero-trust systems that makes sharing a one-time token impossible, but currently not motivated to share it, since it’s possible I might want to use it myself formally; super simple, very possible someone else has already used it before.

Also, does appear Privacy Pass covers the other aspects, which is covered on this page, but still trying to work through if it covers all aspects of a system that at least for myself I would be agreeable to use for things like: age verification, citizenship, captchas, etc — basically anonymous verification of identity attributes.

I don't think you have any idea what international law is.

It's nothing like "law" within a nation. It's a super minimal set of basic principles that all or most countries agree upon. There isn't really a great enforcement mechanism (though symbolic rulings can be obtained in some forums such as the ICJ in the Hague), it's just built on top of good will and consensus. The only power the US has in international law is the power of suggestion.
Do you think this analogy can guilt-trip me into paying for a product that doesn't give me anything I want? Think again.

It's a crap analogy, not least because you don't actually have the experience you describe but I do have the experience I described above. You have not lived a life of crime, probably because you don't really believe it would go as well as you suppose in your analogy. Do you really believe that crime would be more profitable for you in the long run? Career criminals work harder and make less. They do this because they can't cope with some aspect of regular employment, like staying off drugs and showing up on time. They get caught eventually and their life becomes a ruin. If you really think you have what it takes to become one of the rare successful robber-barons who can steal your way to luxury, then you're probably mistaken. But I can get the movies I want to watch, but not with Netflix. Netflix doesn't have what I want, so I'm simply not going to pay for it. Throw all the insults you want, none of it will change anything.
Suppose I make an NFT which support liens. I.e. upon mutual agreement, a transaction can modify the NFT to add a lien, while (simultaneously) transferring some USDC from the lender to the NFT owner. The NFT can't be transferred while it has a lien, but the owner can remove the lien by repaying the lender. The lender can also transfer the NFT to herself if the loan isn't repaid after a certain period.

If I wanted to finance an NFT, first I would negotiate with a lender and get a pre-approved loan. The NFT marketplace wouldn't even need to know about the lending mechanism. In a single transaction, I could take a flash loan, purchase the NFT from the marketplace, take the pre-approved loan, and use that to repay the flash loan. I now own an NFT with a lien, which I can enjoy in the usual ways, e.g. I could integrate it with my Twitter profile.

How is this not financing?

Just imagine for a second we were to start from scratch. Imagine an HTML/CSS Spec thats easy enough to implement so that we have multiple independent vendors with competing, correct implementations. Imagine something like web assembly as the basis for scripting those HTML/CSS Engines.

You are right about the reasons there are so many amateurs in the php world. But i disagree with the statement that they become professionals over time. If you keep doing the same wrong thing over and over you just become better at doing the same wrong thing over and over, many being just old junior developers. Add the fresh supply of amateurs entering the php job market each year and you are stuck.

There are elites among php, you may be one of them, but having interviewed hundreds believe me the quality is very very low.

This seems weird to me. I guess if it works to send some trinkets to people you do it… but if it makes a difference to them I’d be kinda judgmental about that fact ( not really related to the sales process).

Personally I don’t want more trinket crap in my life but maybe other folks feel differently.
Why would you recommend nix/flakes over Docker?
Thanks for adding detail. I didn't offer any examples because I want to use ones that sound representative to you.

The 95% confidence interval is in reference to a probability distribution, I'm not sure what you mean when you say that frequentist answers aren't in terms of those.

As for your bayesian answer, there is a prior that would make their result equal to the frequentist one - and in another example where priors were more obviously crucial (weak evidence) the frequentist would still use Baye's theorem. Their ensemble would be all possible worlds in which they'd ask the question.

What did he say that violates the rules?
IMO, maybe some technologies do make sense for certain team sizes.

I haven't worked much with React, although every time I did, I felt like everything was overkill.

Then again, I've worked with k8s and while other people may think k8s is overkill, for a team our size – hundreds of devs working on separate microservices, I think it makes sense.

It doesn't make sense for a small startup, but once you get to a certain size, the pure human element forces you to look for alternatives. While complex, k8s is actually a great solution to a lot of the problems we were facing.

It's possible that React fits that same need, and while it may seem like overkill to me, maybe I don't know enough about it.
Some are hoarding because they have seen how entire sites or groups of videos or books (even a Dr. Suess children's book) can be removed... so if it is digital you need to store it yourself.

We humans are creative creatures. When we are doing the same thing for a long time, we tend to get bored and make change happen. We 'improve' things, we move things about. We 'make things better'. So we are not bored anymore.

An RSS icon has an important signaling function, if you ask me. Automatic discovery is good, but why not also have a textual link or icon pointing to your feed!?

The original link to the feed is preserved for my users to click on. My system - in use with the user - pointing the user to someone else's website accompanied by a GET var containing the user's own URL is not tracking. The end website can also know that info from the HTTP referrer. It's a very crude implementation of a webmention, in a sense. Because it's not necessarily about the linking website, but about telling someone's RSS feed is in use!
I find your post disingenuous and possibly propaganda itself, especially because you're quoting a Russian government news source in your post.

The thing that is unacceptable is the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Nothing about Ukraine trying to push the invaders out of it's own country in any means they can is unacceptable. The memes and jokes in media are trying to turn something extremely grim into something a little more lighthearted to release stress. Otherwise people would lose their minds amidst all the tortures, mass murders of civilians and other activities being performed upon Ukrainian civilians by the Russian invaders.

And yes, social media being heavily involved would be something unimaginable 10 years ago, because the proliferation of cell phones has now reached much of the world, giving us direct access to the horrors of war.

And no, the worst war propaganda comes from Russia where they literally advocate for the elimination of Ukrainian civilians among other atrocities.
