- ainiriand 7y agoLegitimate doubt: Fronted or frontended?
- masukomi 7y agofrontended doesn't make sense as a word. Fronted has many somewhat applicable definitions including * provide (something) with a front or facing of a particular type or material. * act as a front or cover for someone or something acting illegally or wishing to conceal something. "he fronted for them in illegal property deals" * stand face to face with; confront.
- ainiriand 7y agoThank you for the clarification.
- jobigoud 7y agoAs a non native speaker I came to the conclusion that in English it is possible to turn any noun into a verb. Not parent but "Frontended" made sense to me.
- bradknowles 7y agoI'm a native English speaker. Have been for over 50 years. Frontended sounded perfectly natural to me.
- adam1210 7y agoI tried using github pages with fastly, however it appears when a new site deployment is done, github does not invalidate the fastly cache, in addition to fastly independently caching resources on the site, which can cause broken site deployments for several minutes where it is using mixed cached resources from old and new deployments. I opened a ticket with github support, and they said it was expected behavior. It makes it partially unusable for me.
- type0 7y agoI experienced this as well, wonder if one could mitigate this with some site parameters though?
