I have been playing with the idea of rewriting an old web-app I made over the past 20 years. It's right now running on #LAMP and is targeted at #mobile devices, but I'd like to modernize it to use #PostgreSQL and a web #framework that's not old enough to be well into its first divorce.

I'm used to #Java + #Angular (and derivatives like #Ionic), but I'm thinking I want something new. What are people happy with (and have used for actual development beyond a Hello World tutorial)? I can Bing, so I'm more interested in real experiences. I'm not terribly interested in React or Vue, and have already given Swift/SwiftUI for iOS a spin, so I don't want that.

Should have a mobile-first #frontend, be decently mature so I don't have to rewrite in 2 years when support stops. I need a backend and Postgres access. Would like support for #PWA.

Can be Angular-based or stand-alone, can be separate backend and frontend or mixed/tag-soup/hydration-like. #Typescript or the like are fine, but not a requirement. Fuck #Erlang / #Elexir. If you're going to suggest #Go or #Rust better have a good argument because most people suggesting those are extremely annoying people. #Flutter / #Dart = yuck.

I'm using it to track goals/habits and make #charts, #statistics, and some basic machine learning (k-means, affinity propagation, GMM, and other #clustering, that sort of thing). I can program statistics and clustering myself, but a native chart library would be nice (heatmaps, line charts, bar charts/histograms, that sort of thing) and I wouldn't mind not having to implement my own probability distributions. User authentication (persistent between application restarts) is a must (by framework or popular libraries). I can do #Bootstrap, #tailwind, and other front-end #CSS, but I'd be perfectly happy not having to as long as I can make my widgets purple.

鸿蒙 (Hóngméng) apparently is described as a distributed microkernel. I had no idea when I tacked clustering bits in the spirit of Mach's early '90s efforts onto Telix' eventual design goals that there were live efforts toward such ends. That may be the direction to go once Telix gets up to speed on a single node, provided I'm in a position to keep working on it.

Tested on a really large photo collection, and the results are quite good. Like with KD-tree, there are some catch-all clusters, but most of the clusters are very precisely matching only one person. Over 90 % precision with epsilon 0.3 (vs. KD-tree's ~40 % on 100k's of photos when it starts applying the search limit).

A proper UX will need multi-clustering (multiple clusters fitting the same person), but I believe that the guys from the DigiKam team will ace it :)

Why fish are clustering near an Ontario nuclear plant and what it signals about the Great Lakes
In the warm waters emanating from Ontario's largest nuclear plant, fish are gathering by the thousands. Ahead of an Earth Day livestream, CBC News got a rare look at what some call a 'fish city,' a striking scene scientists say may signal a changing Great Lakes ecosystem.
