is node included when choosing front ends like react or vue?
no. NodeJS is different than NPM (which is often used to install react/vue). NodeJS is the backend technology
Readit NewsWhy be on the internet at all? Why not distribute a desktop app that doesn't need any connectivity at all?
because many people wouldn't use the product or you would have to maintain multiple codebases for the various operating systems and devices (including mobile).
As I see it though, node.js on the backend is not mainstream, most sites are still using JVM or other back ends. Using the same code for the front end and the back end is a dream that has been pursued in various forms but it isn’t mainstream.
according to the latest stackoverflow developer survey, NodeJS is extremely common and used quite a bit more than things like ASP.net (https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#most-popular-technolog...)
The first SPA I wrote, I wrote in React for my use and for the use of friends. I spent about 3 days getting it working and then 3 months getting it to usable performance on my phone. There were no analytics, no binary data (100% text), just a bunch of editable values and such. I ended up having to split it up into a bunch of tabs just to reduce the size of the vdom.
I would think you have something else wrong with the design. I've worked on some pretty complex and large react apps that worked flawlessly on some low-end mobile browsers. Maybe you're accidentally duplicating a LOT of dom nodes?

Some one in a commentary track for some movie (I know really specific here, but the brain is fuzzy on the details) used a phrase that has always stuck with me when talking about their use of off speed frame rates. They used the term "imperceptible slow motion". It's not slo-mo for slo-mo sake, but just enough to give it that slight not normal feel.
The director of the Shield would switch from normal 24fps to 30fps in camera to playback at 30fps. So it wasn't slow motion, but the switch in frame rate gave it just enough of a difference to get the viewer to feel it. So there's a lot of things that can be done that are perceptible subconsciously without making it a slap in the face type of effect.
Wouldn't it be the opposite to get slow mo? shoot in 30 but playback at 24?

Mini Ask HN: How would a small company, say a code forge, that is based in the US ensure that it is operating such that it is legal to have EU customers?
All operations will be in the US (interaction only through a website). The forge will be designed to allow all of a user's data to be downloaded by that user (easy access to all data). It will also allow wiping away any reference to a user in commits (right to be forgotten).
But PII does need to be collected, such as username, password, IP address, public keys, etc. There are zero plans to collect anything that is not needed; only the minimum data needed will be collected.
Edit: Oh, and the forge would not send data to third parties at all, unless such third parties are cloning code, but then they would be users, right?
Would it be legal to accept EU customers? If not, would there be anything to do to make it legal?
I'm unfortunately able to find it, but I was pretty sure a lot of the restrictions around doing business in the EU require a certain $ amount transacted or web traffic. Citation definitely needed but that would make sense, as it's how a lot of laws are written.

Perceived loss of individuality is frequently just an outcome of a design epoch change. Most logos that we thought were unique and had lots of individuality came from an era when that particular graphic design style was en vogue. Then later the logos were updated to better follow new trends (a vary fair desire for a business). Yes, Art Nouveau logos were pretty but the vast majority of logos in that era were designed in that style (so not some amazing level of individuality). Same with the sci-fi logos in the 80s (which I still think were ugly). Same with any other trend. Not really a question of individuality.
> Not everything needs to be redesigned, not everything needs a modern sans-serif font.
If the new typeface reads better then why not use it? If the new logo fits a wider variety of placements or prompts a better response from this generation then why not use it?
You seem to be discussing individuality in style choice, while totally ignoring capacity for individuality within the style that is en vogue. Brutalist/minimalist logos with modern san serif fonts don't leave much room to explore for individuality. Meanwhile art nouveau or 80s sci-fi for example had a LOT of overhead for flexing individuality.
I mean, I used to be an atheist. Like, going to Richard Dawkins on campus, sneering at how stupid Christians were rolling my eyes at every little thing atheist. For a good ten to fifteen years. Then I realized it was terrible for my mental health and just got over myself and adopted more of a Pascal’s Wager outlook. Like, I frankly don’t give a damn about the truth or falsity of religion anymore. That’s not the point. It lets me act as if my life has meaning regardless of whether or not that’s true, which even when I directly reflect on it is a small amount of comfort insulating me from the yawning abyss of existential terror I felt throughout all of my 20s and half of my teens.
If pressed I guess I’ll say it’s unlikely to be true. But that’s not the point. I don’t even care to explain the point really. But both me and my wife ran Meetup groups about being atheist and eventually decided reading Christian philosophy and teachings was a better bet than the slow crushing millstone of the weight of the universe awaiting me behind the curtain of materialism.
There’s a lot of really bad stuff and I think Christianity needs reforming, but I still think it’s the better long term bet in terms of the wellbeing of me and my future generations.
This is pretty adjacent to some of the stuff I've been thinking about as of recent. Maybe I'll give religion a try.
I've dipped my toes into Blender, Cinema4d, and Unreal. At this point in the game what's the use for blender moving forward besides modeling? Seems like the real-time lighting in the latest UE (lumen) along with their Nanite system puts UE way ahead of Blender outside of the modeling aspect.
I’d guess that Go is relatively more popular than Node for API servers, and Node is more popular for web servers.
And as you note, both are probably less popular than languages like Java and PHP.
