WASM (and WebGL) seems to have powered Figma to a $20 billion aquisition offer by Adobe a while ago ; )
It's a fantastic item for the browser toolbox, and i agree with Amea that the "hallmark of success" has been achieved by this technology

In general I would agree, but since you mentioned "never" I have to interject ; )
In this visualization, I was immediately able to pick out clusters around "i", "Apple", "touch" and so on .. and the interactivity helps me to quickly filter and explore. So, I think that for an exploratory tasks, a force-directed graph helps.

A linked article (https://codeblog.jonskeet.uk/2021/01/27/osc-mixer-control-in...) highlights a great transition that we went through in our church as well: huge, bulky analogue mixers replaced with a digital mixer.
The training we had to do with our sound team dropped significantly, as we could load useful presets, do some preparatory work at home before the service etc. It was a great example for what a real "digital transformation" looks like ;)

I have no idea which side of the bed HN woke up today, but the comments here disparaging Martin Fowler's body of work really trouble me.
I really enjoy Martin's (and more recently his collaborators') blog posts on various trends. More often than not, they distill key concerns and references into a quickly readable summary. His books on software patterns collect a breadth of problem/solution pairs that have now been baked into so many frameworks that you probably don't even realise you are benefiting from them.
If you are totally new to Martin Fowler's books and writing, I would urge you to not brush them aside because of some snide comments on HN. There's a wealth of material that can surely enrich your thinking.

To get to the next level and scale of bigger programs, you need to leverage the tons of work information visualization researchers have done.
I always point people to Prof. Tamara Munzner's work[1][2] that allows you to skip over all the dead ends that people have tried over the decades and gives you a "thinking framework" on how to design visualizations.

Substitute SOA for Kubernetes et al and it reads perfectly well :)

It's time for the pendulum to swing back I guess ;)
The article give iOS 7 the credit for ushering in the 'flat' design trends ... But I remember the Windows Phone 7-8 'Metro' (later renamed to Modern) design language as the key influence. It blew away people with the attention to typography and proportional grid-based layouts.

> "the web is still clinging on to monolithic backends — with their high costs, slower speeds, and huge surface area for attacks"
Hmm .. I've observed that microservice architectures often end up having large deployment footprint, higher usage of the network and a larger surface area for attacks since the "edge" is orchestrating more of functionality..
Does investing in Netlify really warrant such BS bingo? It's a really neat product in its own right.

Is it too late to change the name? Something like "Basic Interest Token" (BIT) sounds less Orwellian

Is it possible to target Windows Phone 8 with UWP ?

But initializing the JAVA_HOME and related env variables before launching your java process should help, right?

The "Samsung bloat" is a thing of the past .. The new phones come with more restrained and thoughtful touches that enhances the phone.

Neat :)!
In case the Mender folks are here, have you looked into incorporating the concerns addressed bt The Update Framework (TUF) https://theupdateframework.github.io/
I can offer a sounding board on the following topics:
