And you are one of about two people here even trying to understand my point of view. Most of the other responses are simply aimed at shooting me down in one manner or another. This is the essence of the problem: I am not even supposed to voice my opinion or feeling.

The vast majority of sexism (racism, etc) is not due to blunt and obvious exclusion or targeting. It is due to this sort of pattern of behavior.

Jessica Livingston is apparently one of the two people that dreamed up YC. But she really gets not that much attention or credit. This is perhaps her being wise in service of her own goals and being pragmatic -- that she wants to accomplish a thing, whether she gets public credit or not. But the degree to which women, people of color and other groups get predominantly negative attention or get attention in a weird way related to this one trait is fundamentally part of the problem.

I do think her gender contributed to the Theranos debacle. I have commented on that before and I have blogged about it. But that aspect of how that plays out is Verboten. We cannot discuss it. This, too, is a form of sexism and is part of the problem.

I appreciate your participation here in this thread. It is a breath of fresh air amidst what is an otherwise mostly negative experience for me.

I suspect they're either speaking broadly, or thinking in terms of having sensors in everything, always reporting readings. Their tech doesn't seem particularly suited for interactive devices, because the protocol requires the device to poll the network and see if there are messages waiting for it.

Edit: Also I'm fairly certain that WiFi will choke long before you get close to having 500 devices in an area the size of a house.
Brian from Backblaze here so I'm biased. :-)

> if your data is absolutely critical then I agree that even further geographic diversity would be desirable

I think geographic distribution is absolutely critical if you need "uptime". But for pure durability I think multiple geographic regions is a red herring. What you need much more than multiple geographic regions is having your data stored in two profoundly different formats with two profoundly different vendors with source code written by two separate teams. Furthermore, I would pay for those with two separate credit cards.

The same software bug (or lack of payment resulting in Backblaze B2 or Amazon S3 deleting ALL copies of your data) will delete your data flawlessly across geographic regions. Every time.

Backblaze carefully chose our main datacenter to not be in an earthquake zone, and on a hill (flood proof), and not in tornado zone, and no hurricanes. I suppose that in the case of a meteor strike on a datacenter or terrorist attack some geographic regions would help, but that is really diminishing returns compared with software or human error.

If you truly value your data, two regions won't save you -> two vendors will.

Not at all! Married men are certainly not more productive because they are married -- marriage, and kids in particular, are a massive drain on productivity.

And being married certainly isn't a signal of being more productive, if anything the opposite.

I think the OP is assuming far more rationality in wage-setting than actually exists.

A single man in his 20s or 30s will be way more productive than the married man with the same experience. But the married man will be paid more "because he has a family to support."
From what I know of Apollo (which is a lot less than Relay, having worked on the RelayModern compiler), this comparison is pretty good.

(1) is true, for the most part, from the developer point of view. But when you're using the compatibility mode of RelayModern (i.e. sending out a legacy query that contains modern fragments), Relay does runtime query building from the Modern fragments.

(2) Relay allows you to define updaters for mutations, which lets you write client-defined data transformations. This may not be as complex as what's happening in the Apollo client, but I don't have the experience to say. See http://facebook.github.io/relay/docs/mutations.html#updating...

Edit: I'm Matt, and I work on a sibling team to Relay at Facebook, and helped build RelayModern's compiler.

"I personally don't see a problem with prostitution. I regard it as a job, just like any other. As such I don't look down on prostitutes and neither on their clients. As long as everything is legal, people are doing it safe, all is fine as far as I am concerned."

I interviewed a bunch of prostitutes as part of my first, college paper on a controversial topic. Legalization was my position. The prostitutes pretty much all said what you just said. Everyone said their work was degrading, exploitative, and shouldn't be allowed. Some straight up got aggravated that others could control their bodies or decisions. Most countered by saying they felt more degraded or exploited in the other jobs where their minds or bodies were hurt all day long for about no money with no respect from anyone. Esp waitressing or retail where customers often treat workers cruelly since they know fighting back might cost a job. The prostitutes all said it was better to be in charge of their life with 30min-1hr of work that was either degrading or boring but with appreciative customers.

So, yeah, that's straight from prostitutes. They agree with you. The bad thing was their voices weren't being heard by politicians who received bribes from whole markets of companies that would exploit & degrade them all day. Politicians only cared about that on certain topics. Worst part was police not caring about them led to more pimps, bullying, and rape by others for at least the streetwalkers or ghetto areas. So, I found that making the inevitable, harmless thing illegal contributed to those things since they were natural side effects of no accountability for what's done to "lesser humans." I then couldn't vote for it being illegal just because it's effectively be voting for people to be harmed that way.
Probably, but a comparison of the two would seem more enlightened than just a comparison vs "shotgun weddings"...which is called out specifically.

> Consider the following: 10 people earn $10 and pay $1 in tax. 10 people earn $20 and pay $5 tax.

This is way out of proportion to real-life values, and the semantics of this equation change quite a bit with even minor changes.

For example, after your high-earner tax hike, the low earners are left with $9 and the high earners are left with $12. This is absurdist nonsense that does not match up with what happens in the real world. A person on $40k and a person on $80k have vastly different spending capacity after tax.

A person on $80k (~66k after tax) doesn't pay eight times the absolute amount of tax the $40k (~36k after tax) person does, and they retain their approximately two-times spending capacity.

To meet my new-language-style expectations, you would have to remove every single "const" in your code. You have multiple definitions, all simply executed in sequence based on an initial caller. I was thinking of a single block that took all inputs to result in a single output.

Forgetting my expectations, the code example you linked is practically the antithesis for ES2015/ES6. You've abused the concept of "const". Your example is terrible, using "const" to define things that should have been defined as separate classes, without having to define so many global "const"s.

Even more critically... wtf are you doing with all those "const" definitions? That code is ultimately worse than what I saw in javascript in 1995. Please don't write code that way. :/

To go to the extreme, my ultimate reaction is that the code you linked is straight up unacceptable. You would fail an interview at my company with that code. It screams "I know ES6", while being the worst example of javascript I've ever seen, regardless of the Ecmascript version. You're overcompensating, trying way too hard to prove that you understand the latest spec. There are limits to what "modern javascript" means, and you have gone too far. A dozen global "const" declaration means you know ES6, but don't know how to write proper code.

tldr; Dial back a bit. Upgrading to ES2015/ES6 does not mean transforming all your code to be completely unreadable unless you know the latest spec. Your code should still look like javascript rather than 100% some-new-functional-language.
I think when this broke, her connection to Hillary and the Clinton Foundation kept being played. Also during that same week, news broke that Marissa Mayer hid the huge yahoo data breech from users for years and purposefully didn't take ethical actions addresssing known vulnerabilities. These are three of the most powerful self made women all of whom were heavily publicized for years. The anti-Clinton sentiment along with valid criticism against Holmes and Mayer very well could have burgeoned into an anti-women sentiment.

As for the sexism, I felt like it was more of a backlash against the unrelenting positive press Holmes received for years, right or not partly due to her gender. Every time someone commented on why they thought something was wrong with Theranos they were drowned out by voices telling them to stop being sexist and you want her to fail due to her gender. Justified or not, plenty were happy to see her fail after all the praise she had recieved and I am not surprised at all if some of the blowback was sexist.

That being said, the majority of the discussion was anti-Theranos though I do agree with you there were a fair bit of anti-woman backlash though like I said much of it I feel was prompted by the positive praise she received.

The article kept saying "as much energy as 500 million suns". They lost me: If they meant "power of 500 million suns", then that's plenty amazing but okay. But "energy of 500 million suns" -- wow! Just blew the top off my scale of credibility. That is, for "the energy of 500 millon suns", take the mass of 500 millon suns, and calculate the energy from E = mc^2 and get a big number, especially for some radio waves lasting only a few milliseconds.

Of course, with more context, their statement was "powered by as much energy as 500 million suns", so they were working hard to confuse energy and power.

Eventually in the article I got the impression that they really meant the "power of 500 million suns" -- big difference between energy and power
e.g., the difference between KW and KWh, between Joules and Watts (for people who like MKS units).

Also likely want to make clear that are assuming that power level was uniform in all directions from the source, that is, not just beamed in a narrow beam pointed at earth.

Also of similar interest is an associated article at that site on detection of a cosmic ray with energy 320 EeV, that is, a well thrown bowling ball.

He mentions early in the talk about how some people working in VR/AR make a comparison that they're building the tech from 'Snowcrash' which he calls out as wrong model for thinking about VR.

A while later he describes a companies responses to building features after a player virtually groping another player in a virtual archery space.

The model for AR/VR that seems most plausible to me is what's described in the book 'Lady of Mazes'[1] - really recommend people check that out if they find this talk interesting.

Anyway, she didn't like the sound of THAT idea. One of the many reasons she is my ex.

Template literals could not possibly be a replacement for JSX. JSX is Javascript, template literals are strings. JSX isn't a templating language by design, it's one of the primary advantages.
Right! I guess economically you are "more productive" than your unmarried counterpart but it's important to note this isn't the result of natural ability manifesting in greater likelihood of being selected by a partner (utter nonsense) but rather, now that you have a partner you have a responsibility to someone else to maximize your income.

My biggest gripe with the original Relay was that it didn't work with any GraphQl schema, but only those that provided a bunch of features like pagination and retrieving any object by id. This no batteries included, high initial bar for using Relay really turned me off of the product. I see that Relay Modern claims to be 'simpler', but I don't see anything about relaxing the constraints on my graphql schema.
Correct me if I'm wrong :

But, wouldn't "garbage collection" solve the problem of many React web apps of consuming too much RAM (e.g. when using Redux, you never expire some keys and throughout the application lifecycle, you never cease of accumulating data inside your stores which makes RAM consumption goes up) ?

Why did you remove the last part of the title? ("and Is Offered a Deal for Less Than 30 Days in Jail")
how this will affect react native?
There's just as much versioning for Relay Modern (from the server's point of view) as Relay Classic: so long as you have a client that sends a query string with old fields, your server needs to maintain support for returning those fields. So long as the field is nullable, you always can choose to "turn it off" server-side by always returning null.

In general, over time, as applications get more complex, the main queries you use will have more fragments. But we usually convert an entire query into a single ID (representing the entire query text, fragments and all). With each "version" of the query, fragments could be added, removed, or completely modified. Usually, your server shouldn't care what the specific fragment version is, but should be able to translate the fields the fragment asks for into a function that builds a response of that shape.

But one of the advantages of GraphQL in general (Relay included) is that you don't really need to version your API: so long as a field continues to exist in your schema, and continues to return the same type of object (even if that object adds new fields or interfaces), your old query/fragment will always receive the same shape. That may mean, over time, you "turn off" more and more fields by having them return as nulls to every client that asks for them, but you shouldn't think of it in terms of versions.

Agree that this is overall accurate, especially wrt to Relay Classic. For Relay Modern, however:

> 2. Relay doesn't have as many facilities for updating the store and working with mutation results.

Apollo and Relay Modern are about equal in this regard. Relay supports arbitrary writes to the store (either via an imperative API, via a fragment + payload, or a mix of the two), plus similar APIs for updating the store after a mutation or subscription update. This includes the ability to update client-only state.

> 3. The Apollo Store is a plain JavaScript object,

The Relay Modern store is also a plain object. There aren't currently any convenience functions for serializing/deserializing it, but this is something we're open to adding.

Overall I'd say the main differences is that Apollo has focused very much on easier onboarding and covering a wide variety of use cases (many view layer integrations, developer tooling etc), where Relay is more focused on performance and scalability (hence features such as ahead-of-time optimization, garbage collection, etc).

Either are appropriate depending on your specific needs. I'm excited to see so much iteration in this space!
