Reason I mention it is neither this nor bezier curves deal with the target changing mid-animation very well. CSS just starts over from the current position, which breaks the illusion. A physics engine would maintain the illusion, and could be simpler to specify:

    transition: physics(system=gravity, force=10, bounce=on, dampening=3)
    transition: physics(system=spring, force=5, bounce=off, dampening=5)

For coding in particular, it would be super-nice if they could just live in a standard location in the repo.

Meanwhile, they have an extremely labor-intensive set of techniques for modeling a device's analog circuitry, resulting in a model that allows the user to adjust gain, eq, etc. This isn't a consumer-level process; it happens in a laboratory somewhere, and the output is shipped as a software plugin or model on a digital effects unit.

This technology bridges the gap. Ultimately it's an unguided ML approach akin to the former, but introduces ML-guided robotic knob-turning (AKA "TINA") which (unlike the former) maps continuous changes within the device's parameter space, allowing to ship something more like the latter.

First there was the DIY Era, when layout options were limited and CSS implementations were riddled with bugs and browser differences. Most folks coded their own layouts using a small bag of tricks (e.g. float + clear-fix). It was messy, but it all fit in your head.

Then came the Framework Era, when lots more things became possible, but the size of the spec exploded, and with it the number bugs and incompatibilities. A common choice at this point was to use a framework.

This article fits with the idea that we've entered the Reference Era. Implementations have matured enough that browsers do what you want without arcane hacks and workarounds. You just need a good cheat-sheet, because the spec has long since stopped fitting into most peoples' heads.

    Hype: "Static Typing reduces bugs."

I asked an electrician about this once and got lectured. Apparently per regulations a dryer needs to be on a dedicated circuit, and tapping into that line is a big no-no. Nor do you want to have to depend on a breaker as a fail-safe at this amount of current. Instead he ran a separate 50 amp line to my garage terminating in a single outlet, that I can do whatever I want with, EV or welder or whatever.

So all that said, I imagine a hugely beneficial policy would be one where young people who leave for college would get assistance paying off student debt if and to the extent they return to their community afterward.
