The title is a little click-baity, but if I have it right, the OP is saying that: because you can control the shape of your data on the client (graphql) you don't have to write code to wrangle your response data into the shape of your react component's properties (redux).

Which kind of makes sense, but I'm more biased towards thinking you'd almost always need some client-side work to reshape the response data because the front-end will always evolve at a different pace to the graphql endpoint, which ultimately has to be implemented by the server. Unless the entire team reaches this amazing point where the "graphql schema" and the abstractions in the app are just always in sync. Isn't it?

(Also, I love redux. Almost can't imagine using react without redux for any application. I started using react unreservedly, because redux. After disastrous attempts at flux. Redux is not going away I think.)
"Progress" seems subjective and political. I posit no definitive measure of progress exists.
The graphql tutorial has a chapter devoted to this: https://www.howtographql.com/advanced/4-security/

In a nutshell, you can limit the depth to which a query will resolve in order to prevent abuse. You can also go much further and whitelist a specific set of queries (which comes with some additional bandwidth wins!) See https://dev-blog.apollodata.com/persisted-graphql-queries-wi...
> You'd need to know where pretty much every ion was and it's momentum, and I'm pretty sure that's impossible.

As parent said, people do stuff like trans-cranial electric stimulation which surely changes where some ions are, yet they do not lose their personality afterwards.

I'm pretty sure our brain is more robust than the exact position of every ion. Biology is very messy, and stochastic.

Also note how artificial neural networks are very noise resistant, which allows people to run them on low-precission numbers.

Funny running into your here Danny! :)

I run into a lot of people with the same situation as you and I always tell them to just write about whatever gets them putting words down and out there. Programming problems, pearls, learnings, video games, food, whatever floats your boat.

Ultimately almost no one will read it save for one person who runs into the exact same issue or loves the same exact dish at the restaurant you love. Fear of being judged shouldn't stop you.
A prime example of this that I've personally run into is operations tooling. How many times has logging infrastructure been built from the ground up? I can think of a company (which are pretty great, to be fair), whose core business failed but ended up spinning out their logging infrastructure as a standalone product. The logging product is actually really good, but it begs the question if their focus on building logging infra distracted from their core business.
That's complete bullshit. The reason is 100% because of the economy. Many of them will say it's not, others will also believe it, but if you dig down to the truth, it's absolutely and exclusively all about the economy.

> asked him what kind of tech he wanted most. "Better batteries"

Yes, but. As I recall the story, when a fuel-cell consumer powerbrick startup, with a working production prototype, and the broader impact of expanding the envelope of consumer-scale parts supply in several areas (eg air pumps), went looking for $10M to start their supply chain, and avoid dying, ARPA responded "we can do $1M, but our budget is tight just now, and we can't do 10." What people say they want, and what they're willing to pay for, are often poorly correlated.

Yes. Also small durable high-torque electric motors.

VHDL is popular in Europe and the US East Coast. Verilog is king on the West Coast.

An an EE who was schooled in VHDL, gave VHDL classes to new hires and was conditioned to look down on Verilog: after moving from Europe to the East Coast and then the West Coast, I eventually saw the error of my ways and I'm very happy to not have to deal with VHDL anymore.

And for the open source crowd: there is a much large body of decent quality open source Verilog tools than there is for VHDL. So as a hobbyist, it's really a nobrainer.
That's one side of the story, according to the person who was denied future refunds.

I was simply asking how is a multiverse theory falsifiable?

I'm not contending that the idea of God has the same evidence as a theory of a multiverse, but rather what makes the multiverse falsifiable?

If neither are falsifiable then I'd say they're on equal footing, and it would seem odd to me that scientists feel comfortable using one as an explanation but mock the other.

> Should we just make up an answer and stop asking? I don't find that very intellectually satisfying.

Are you asking to find answers or to continually keep asking?
Personally, I'd rather have a complete and holistic answer, which for me seems the most satisfying.

But either way, I hope our personal intellectual satisfaction isn't driving the answers we agree upon.
Yeah, as a non native speaker I can't agree more. It also makes it easier to find a solution for a problem if all users get the same error message.

It seems the article wants to make the case that it's not about economic issues but things like values. This may play a role but when things don't work well economically people are susceptible to attacking scapegoats like foreigners, atheists or whatever.

I am sure these people would be less angry if they perceived to be in a prospering part of the country and not a decaying one.
You may not realize that the removal of the inconsistency would be so that

a = integer, b = same integer
a is b

is always false.

The inconsistency is that the two separate variables reference the same object just because the values are the same.

In general, you shouldn't care about identity (is), just about value comparison (==).

> Siccar Point is one of the most important geological sites in the world – but it took a 62-year-old farmer to spot its significance

Calling James Hutton a "farmer" is really a twist in narrative, when it proceeds to describe how he was a semi-genius polymath/inventor educated in medicine and chemistry who only bought a few farms after becoming wealthy as a scientist then being alienated from upper society for having an illegitimate son.
It's tempting to think of it that way, but there are significant advantages to this configuration: low-power cruise in forward flight, longer maintenance intervals, nearly silent drive system (not counting the props, obviously, but removing the noise generated by one or two turboshafts isn't a trivial difference).

BTW for context re: maintenance, on a light aircraft such as a Cessna 172, you must conduct a 100 hour/annual inspection. This would be a deep inspection by automotive standards. This involves taking the cowling off and doing compression tests on each cylinder, for example.[1] The recommended engine Time Before Overhaul is 1800 hours I believe. Removing some of those costs would be a boon to a transport operation that requires high-uptime operation.

> The plan-apply model is IMO the best.

What would be even better: a begin-commit model where you tell AWS (or $PROVIDER) that you're beginning a transactional change, you issue a bunch of API commands, and along the way the provider is modeling what that would cause the deployment to look like, and it's also checking subsequent actions' invariants / constraints against the "running total" of all the changes (the model) instead of the snapshot of how the deployment was before the "begin".

I ended up having to create a "staging environment" at $WORK that's just another AWS account. The deploy flow for this one terraform project is:

1. run 'terraform plan' against production; this shows you syntax errors and _some_ semantic errors.

2. run 'terraform apply' against the staging AWS account; this will shake out more semantic errors, like an ec2 security group having too many rules. this step helps prevent you partially applying whatever change you're working on to production, since the production deploy would have failed when it gets to the ec2 security group change.

3. finally, run 'terraform apply' on production. I've yet to find an error that made it to this step that didn't get caught in one of the previous two steps.

None of this would be necessary if AWS had some way of modeling deployments and checking invariants/conditions against models instead of checking them in situ.

edit: something like:

aws change create-changeset
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --changeset-id c-12345abc ...
aws ... --changeset-id c-12345abc
aws change commit-changeset --changeset-id c-12345abc
Why not just engage in conversations on the principle of charity and good faith. There's also the concept of steel manning other peoples arguments to help extend good faith.

Not every conversation has to become a burned bridges and salt the earth affair. If the other person is just trying to "win" then disengage from the argument. If the other person is arguing with you in good faith then maybe you're wrong or have something to learn from a new perspective.
Awesome, thank you! I have heard a lot about it but don’t really understand the hype.
I honestly don’t think many executives are trying to hide their emails that hard. Steve Jobs always got a lot of press when he would reply to customers, but the reality is that executives actually value this communication. It helps them learn of problems they may otherwise be insulated from. Of course executives generally also don’t make their email too readily available because then everyone would contact them and that wouldn’t scale.

I have emailed various executives over the years and don’t recall it ever not working. It even worked with Comcast to my surprise - the next day someone from some department like “executive customer service” contacted me.
Have you ever used Google Scholar? First result: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9780470670590.wbe...

With these conditions in mind, it is argued that a large proportion of foreign direct investment in less developed countries finances highly polluting and ecologically inefficient manufacturing processes and facilities, many of which are outsourced from the wealthy nations. While this allows for transnational firms headquartered in the global North to treat less developed countries as waste repositories, the commodities produced by these heavily polluting facilities are largely intended for export to high-consuming developed nations. Cross-national studies of less developed countries support these arguments, indicating that foreign direct investment contributes to the growth of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants (Jorgenson, Dick & Mahutga 2007) and the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers (Jorgenson & Kuykendall 2008) in these nations. Complementing cross-national research on foreign direct investment and the environment are case studies of the Maquiladora centers in Mexico (where heavily polluting plants owned by US interests are concentrated) as well as various communities within other less developed countries. These studies provide in-depth illustrations of how transnational economic relationships lead to the treatment of less developed countries as waste repositories for the wealthy nations and contribute to tragic public health and regional ecological problems in these poorer countries (Frey 2003; Pellow 2007).

I’m not sure where you are getting your data from, and it’s unsettling that you keep changing the goalposts. I don’t have anything more to say; you need to catch up with mainstream research.

EDIT: Ah, perhaps your confusion is over whether people are discussing outsourcing to Japan, Taiwan, and China specifically, or to other countries in general. You have to learn that you can’t get by interpreting other people’s words as uncharitably as possible and then asking them to interpret your own as generously as you’d like. I see this a lot with engineers who don’t interact much with other disciplines—this “works” for proofs and problem sets, not for discussions about less well defined issues.

As the other commenter stated, “The comment is about how the US didn't just magically end pollution by better laws, filters and factories, but also by dropping factories.” This is accepted fact; see the article I linked for many references.

EDIT#2: Interest piqued by writing this up. Here’s an interesting article addressing Japan and the US specifically: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030142150...

Apple Music seems to ignore what I dislike, and will recommend it anyway.

As for usability issues in Apple Music:

- There are 2 ways to "dislike": Star> Play less like this and Heart> Dislike. What is the difference?

- Liking/Disliking is always 2 actions.

- If I'm listening to the Radio, I can only skip forward but not go back? Why?

- There are a million pixels on my phone, yet I can only see 3 full playlists in the initial list view. The "New Playlist" button is displayed like an actual playlist.

- The layout is a hodgepodge of poor recommendations and recent activity:
-- The library tab starts with a list, and ends with a grid of albums, most of which contain one song picked out from that album. The recents in "For you" scroll horizontally.

- The radio tab pretty much only consists of what Apple wants to push (Beats 1). There is also no way to delete recently played radio stations

- When playback stops, there is no difference between a network issue (Buffering) and a bluetooth connectivity issue. Incredibly frustrating when driving.

- The large album art display is nice visually, but it is not worth digging through a bunch of action menus that were created due to the lack of space.
For those looking for cheap FPGA boards, I highly recommend looking for something that is based on the Lattice ICE40. The cheapest board you can find is probably the $9 Upduino, though trickier to get going. (Complete lack of documentation.)

The best part is Project IceStorm, a fully open source tool flow, from synthesis to bitstream. While not the best in terms of optimization, it's killer feature is that it's blazing fast. You can get small design synthesized and converted to a place-and-routed bitstream in under a minute.
People only have themselves to blame if they invest in something that is not vetted by credible parties. What you're suggesting is to make the entire market a safe space, where people are forcibly infantilized and have their contract freedom limited, to protect a small minority who don't use their freedom responsibly.

Regulation just means banning an entire category of voluntary interaction and creating a centralized gatekeeper with the power to lift that ban on a case-by-case basis if a project meets its approval.

Such an approach to dealing with complex social issues like fraud is lazy and flies in the face of a free society.

Treating tokens like securities would mean treating token sales like IPOs. Right now it costs $6 million to do an Initial Public Offering of a stock. If you want to eliminate 99% of market activity, and exclude 99% of the population from having market access, that's how you do it.

Anyway your regulations are unenforceable. Decentralized exchanges and the multi-jurisdictional nature of the market assure that. For the first time in history, you can list your financial asset on a globally accessible exchange without needing anyone's permission.
