Oh yes, it's hard. Reputation and ratings are abused by "brigades", groups of people who upvote all posts of other members and downvotes those of opponents. Eventually, it's a batlle of the most zealous and organized groups who are willing to put up the most time in this. These groups can be some volunteers on the Internet, but they can also be professionnal teams working on e-reputation/web-influence, and they know very well how to bypass the (mostly rudimentary) protections against astroturfing. It doesn't look like it, but it's a big business.

Question about Relay and GraphQL Services – Reindex, GraphCool, Scaphold
Reindex, GraphCool and Scaphold all seem interesting

But what bugs me is that they hide away the database entirely.

Preferable to still access postgres backend, for example. Graphql looks fine for a app interface, but would still want a regular sql db behind the scenes.

Do these services abstract away the storage for a reason?

Do many people spin up their their own Relay/Graphql service? To sit next to their regular db?

Or am I thinking about this the wrong way?
Fair point. I was looking at the spec for earlier versions of the same engine, which used a fan five inches narrower.
I think there's more to it than that, which deserves a more thorough critique. How following and retweeting works, the difficulty of replying, search and more all play a role in this.
I'm on a similar page as you but I think that 'flipping' houses is okay. The house next door went for sale and we were thinking of buying it but it was a complete dump. Some guy bought it for a "steal" around $600k, fixed everything up, and sold it for around $850k a few months later. The plus (or downside) is that your new neighbor most likely is more financially well off than someone who would buy a cheaper house.
In XXth century, Communism was about nationalizing companies.

In XXIst century, Communism will be about only recognizing a copyright duration of 10 years, after which the content is free to copy. And compiled content must be open-source.

It's the nationalization of content. If explained this way, I would be in favour of that kind of communism, and there's hope that it would participate to sharing more knowledge, be safer and advancing humanity faster. But given all countries are constrained by the WTO bindings, it would take a rogue nation like Cuba or China to implement that.

Not sure if missing an /s

But any system can be gamed. The moment the community creates any value - political/advertising/creative

People will swoop in to take advantage of it.

This sets of a cycle

1) If no moderation, debate on the need of moderation - given time this will be resolved in favor of moderation

2) Moderators try to deal with attackers, posers, abusers

3) Attackers start masking their presence, they start debating the rules, they develop increasing sophisticated counter attacks to the rules

At this stage, its important to note that common sense is thrown to the window. People will argue incessantly whether X post/comment is within the scope of the rules or not. The term is forum lawyer.

4) Moderators have to start going to greater and greater lengths to deal with rule breaking, rule defining and disruption. The best case scenario is indifference and manageable rule breaking.

5) Eventually if the process escalates, we end up at profiling users based on words, either through mod experience, or worse - automated means. IP addresses are tagged, users are tagged.

Moderation is the intersection of being a debate adjudicator and a full fledged editorial board for a newspaper.

ANY technical solution should be looked at with DEEP discomfort. Any solution to this problem can and will eventually be used to suppress or modify behavior on forums.

Whats worrisome is that this arms race is escalating, if you see how mod tools have expanded on reddit, they have completely stopped entire methods of grass roots retaliation to mod power.

Earlier - if a forum had an issue, it could split organically into a subreddit. Users would vote with their feet. Famously the split of weed lovers to r/trees.

With the creation of automod, any mention of an opposing sub can completely be removed. Stopping that entire method of dealing with mods.

Sub splits do still happen, but its a lot harder to achieve and organize.

In order to implement all the Scala language magic the generated byte code is sometimes far away from what the equivalent Java code byte code would look like.

This isn't a problem for most people but it is an issue for anyone who uses stuff like byte code instrumentation - take a look at this issue for example: https://github.com/puniverse/quasar/issues/45

It's not a criticism of Scala (the language is just a LOT richer so has to cater for more sophistication).

But the difference matters to me which is why I prefer Kotlin over Scala and I'm prepared to miss out on some of that sweet Scala magic.

Do you have any experience doing this? I've done lots of work in Unity and Android/iOS but mostly making games (70-75%). I looked at upwork and all the posts for game-related material looked terrible. I prefer to not make games but that's what I'm best at right now. Would it still be easy to get into? Or do you recommend getting good at front end, fullstack, or anything else? I do like to learn so that won't be a problem.
> considerably more expressive

is that an advantage? Do you have the time to explain this a bit more?

I feel that new users need less expressiveness, to avoid decision overload, and keeping one automatic directory save point is easier to mentally manage than a stack of them.

I do recommend using pushd/popd in shell scripts (always) and interactively (if you must), but I think 'cd -' should be the first thing you introduce to newcomers w.r.t tracking working directory changes.

I'm not sure how creationism got into this, but human brains react differently to different types of stimuli. In particular emotionally priming information tends to out perform rational or non-emotional complex information.

Even if we ignore that, you can simply see that if moderation and corrective action is not applied forums tend to become circle jerks of in-jokes and memes.

I always use Linux as my preferred OS and a "Just Works" OS like macOS or Windows.

I run Linux as a dual-boot and I run it in a VM from Windows/mac.

It's frustrating because Apple has fallen far behind on hardware I want. I need 3840x2160, a touchscreen, a card reader, both USB 3.0 and 3.1, 16GB of RAM, and full-size HDMI. They've jumped too far ahead into their 'revolutionary' view of the future. I can find better hardware for much cheaper. Dell XPS 13, HP Envy 2-in-1, Toshiba Radius 12... the build quality on the Toshiba is pretty bad, but it out-performs a would-be Macbook. I'm not spending 2 -fucking- thousand dollars for sub-standard hardware simply because I like the OS better than Windows. Apple spies on its users, but at least when you turn it off it's actually off.

I can't continue using Windows because it's clearly hostile to users, and I can't go with Apple because the hardware sucks.

Linux requires so much involvement to keep it running "well".

Just argh.

Oh man the JET program is amazing compared to the other teaching jobs in Japan. I was never part of the program but considering what they do for you and the market rate, the pay is still pretty good.

Very high property taxes with homestead exemptions (reductions when you live in the house as a primary residence) might be part of the solution.

But the biggest one is letting property developers go wild. SF and the south bay have been doing very much the opposite for a very long time.

Also, Prop 13 needs to be phased out. It's completely killing liquidity in the market, and removes any incentive for homeowners to not want rampant home value increases, which encourages them to prevent property developers from doing their thing.

Houses in "hot" markets still stay on the market for 54 days? In Amsterdam, you can reliably sell your house in 2 weeks. Some people are willing to buy a house without a visit.

The housing market here is insane. We recently bought a house and sold our old one (we haven't moved yet, but remodeling on our new house will start in a couple of days). We sold our house for EUR 100k over what we paid for it in 2008 (just before the mortgage crisis), and 60k over what our neighbours got for their nearly identical house less than a year ago. The seller of our new house got more than 3 times what he paid for it in 1996.

If this isn't another housing bubble, I don't know what it.

That's not specific to Linux. I don't even want to calculate the time I've spent on this...in recent Windows. Saying "Windows is only worth it if your time has no value" works the same way, and is just as meaningless.

Assuming everything keeps its value equal and buying and selling have no cost (which at these scales and required accuracy is probably reasonable for the comment), any amount of buying and selling and borrowing should keep your net worth identical.

I know.... Computer Science research has some huge issues!
And everybody takes inspiration for everything from somebody else and it can all be traced back to ancient Babylon, Greece and Rome. Yes we get it, nothing is an original idea.

Thought experiment: To be truly "original" a child that grew up with wolves in the jungle would have to come up with it (okay, not even that since it learns from the wolves). Everything else is "not truly original". Duh.

Now that we have established that no truly "original" ideas exist in any human's head (assuming "original" means going from totally empty, nothingness, to the idea), can we just get rid of all comments pointing out that X didn't really invent Y but was inspired by P?

Of course, what I just wrote isn't original in the slightest, I just don't know the names of all the people who said it before.
"over a year ago, I've had no success in finding further work"

I'm sorry to be blunt, but if this is the case then your skills are very much rock bottom. So you have two options:

1. get better at your job. IT is in boom now, so if you can't find a job in a reasonable amount of time then there is something very wrong and you should do something about it.

2. admit that you are not only not any good, but you don't even care. But don't try to sugarcoat it with something like "to build versatile skills that might allow more job flexibility in the future" - at this point in time, being a frontend dev is probably the best occupation to have "job flexibility". In this case, of course you should try to find out what you like doing, eg. if you have a hobby, that you could take more seriously, for example.

Your best bet would probably be to combine 1 & 2, eg. just suck it up until you get hired as a UI dev for a company that allows repositioning later. For example, you can start at a financial firm as an IT person, learn the business and then use internal mobility to move to the business side of things. I've seen this happen multiple times. Of course, this approach requires significant effort on your part but offers great returns.
