I have a GraphQL field that converts tweet-like content from the database into token lists so that individual clients don't need to implement their own tweet-parsing logic. I have many other examples.

If it was really feasible to bind our databases directly to our APIs, we wouldn't need to hire anyone except DBAs and front-end developers. But backend business logic is a thing. You may not need it, but most people do.

"Oftentimes, I find that my dread about a task is because of some ambiguity."

I think in the 2018 workplace, this kind of ambiguity about problem (or solution) is as responsible for procrastination as social media. Subtle and hidden, but a big-gey, at least that's my guess/anecdata.
My family floated around a bunch, so we really don't "belong" anywhere. I grew up a foreigner in my birth place.. actually I haven't been there in over 10 years as I don't have any ties to the place .. I speak the language, but don't have any real connection.

I'm surprised about travel and adventure being out of the norm for Americans thought. If anything the tiny villages where everyone has the same last name is all too common in China.
Childhood obesity is a growing concern. The idea is that growing up with a healthy eating pattern can prevent obesity and other health problems, because changing ingrained habits is very hard. Eating healthy (i.e., eating normally) can be a valuable part of their education.

Where to find a freelance web design student?
Hi, we're trying to find a web design student who can set up our wordpress site (it doesn't require any coding, it just needs to be set up through the admin panel and a nice layout has to be made with Divi). On Upwork we only get responses from people in Asia, but I'm honestly not very happy about the quality of work from there based on my previous experiences. Where do people turn to to find someone like this?
Table sugar is half fructose half dextrose. Fructose is metabolized through the liver similar to alcohol, whereas dextrose is glucose and metabolized like a simple carb.

Fructose has been increasing as a percent of daily calories since the 70s as a consequence of attempts to reduce fat, and this is the likely cause behind the massive increase in diabetes.
Sure, it was seen as a social faux pas at the time but mostly because the web was much more personal: companies had no need to do anything nefarious with your data, so they wouldn't have cared, but a lone individual running a random website could potentially know you and ridicule you in front of your friends (especially when it's some random kid at the same university).

What Facebook did was prove that you could make a business out of exploiting those users' personal data without needing to cause obvious harm to them directly (i.e. in ways that were still potentially unethical but 100% legal).

The reason I'm saying he was being unethical at the time is that he saw their misplaced trust as an opportunity to exploit them (initially by snooping for fun, later by exploiting their data for profit). The ethical response would have been to either reject the responsibility (as you describe) or acknowledge it and start thinking about how to protect that data for the users.
I think a decent trick is learning to approximate calories/meal sizes for your body. I usually know when I'm eating 1 portion vs 1.5 portions of my home-cooked stuff, just by virtue of having cooked and paid attention to serving sizes long enough.

Another useful tool is a food scale. Everyone has measuring cups and stuff, but having a food scale can make stuff like measuring a serving of mixed nuts for my breakfast way easier.

However, packaged foods vs. from scratch is an element of time and convenience as well. I just make food when I have the time/feel like it (I enjoy cooking as a hobby, but am not always up for it) and use 'easy' meals when I need to: throwing together some pasta and a pre-made sauce jar I keep in the pantry, plus some frozen TJ's meatballs or something.

Not sure what the criteria for "fast" is, but on my 12' MacBook with Safari, it's consistently faster (and less glitchy) to just load a new Youtube page than to let this "fast" navigation do it. Using Youtube is actually painful because of this.

The success of solar (and the end of coal) is really a story of the success of natural gas. Gas turbine capacity was so cheap to deploy that most of what's deployed in the past is enough to cover demand, in other words there are very little 'new' gas generators coming online because they're not needed. Solar capacity is much slower to deploy, hence why we will see 'new' capacity added over a long time to come. This is also a good thing, since with gas you still need to provide it was gas and expand the sources of gas and without carbon capture of gas generation it still has co2 emissions. However, gas allowed a massive short term reduction in co2 emissions and displaced coal and will for a long time fill in where solar can't, until we find a way to store energy from coal and that way might actually be synthesised gas.

I'm a case where I don't really expect to ever see the equity pay out, but I might still have gone the startup route for the fun and the learning. But if I were to go back in time and advise myself, I would have taken more cash and less equity. At the time, I took more equity and less cash.

As someone just starting out, the hidden cost of exercising and the tax bill that follows was staggering. It would have eaten up most of my fledgeling liquidity and dug into my rainy day fund.

My advice to my former self would be to take more cash over equity and invest that cash in the public markets. Diversify your investments to reduce the risk of the giant startup bet you're about to make. Compounding is a hell of a thing, even over four years, and people tend to forget to account for investment returns when they value their cash.
The worst is that on Safari (at least, might also affect other browsers), when navigating to a different page and setting the player to fullscreen, it will go back to windowed mode when the other page components (related videos, etc) load. It's a nightmare.
Adopters of GraphQL are quick to call it game-changing, but is it a game worth playing? It has to add value above the standards already in place. Is it accomplishing that? How is it more valuable than whatever it is that it replaces (REST, whatever)?

Ask HN: How will it go for Raspberry Pi in the coming years?
In the consumer and the small business markets, we are having computing power being more and more shifted from desktops or laptops to tablets and smartphones, we are even seeing full computing watches these days. In your opinion, what about DIY, IoT, small robotics, etc. and the generalist barebone computers they use, like Arduino, Raspberry, etc.? Will they become more and more powerful for a new race to bigger, maybe embedded systems or will they stay small, open, very cheap and marginally energy-hungry?
Not really. I've applied for a startup, got accepted, the next day received a one in a lifetime opportunity to do something I've been dreaming of (security research at a huge and famous company). Went to do the dream job only to quit after 6 weeks and return to the startup. Best decision ever. I didn't win the lottery ticket, but I am also not coming back to a regular job. Yes, you usually get paid less (or much less), yes my peers climb the corporate ladder, have better cars and houses, but I have a more rewarding job, I get to work remotely and travel often, and I can work from home whenever I want. I also hate the hierarchy that eventually comes as the company grows.

the Ecce mono is an interesting case. It was a disaster until thousands of people started making queues to have fun about it. At this point the former piece of art, tecnically competent but a little dull, gained an unique character and a totally different meaning, blending provocation, ineptitude and irony. This kind of change is, in itself, one of the definitions of art. Not much different to the Campbell's soup cans, the "artist's shit" of Manzoni, or the fountain of Duchamp
Not a resource so much as a tool, but getting an instant pot was a game changer in a lot of ways for me. I never minded cooking but now when I don't want to cook, I still have it remarkably easy.
I can see that happening. Hopefully it's less of a possibility now than it would have been when I was attending in the late 1990s.

I think at my school it was because staff wanted them, so why not have them available for the kids too? I don't think much thought was given to it, and even if there were it would have been framed as a matter of personal responsibility. Adults there would have not thought of their responsibility to teach children good eating habits -- that was for the parents.
Just for completeness: The actual fruits are fine, though. Something (fibers play a part, but apparently can't explain the whole effect) in the whole fruits changes the absorbtion.
It's certainly not a problem for me in the UK; PAYE is automatic, and I've not yet had to do a tax return. Although I did once need to get an adjustment, which I did with a short letter. I do wonder why the US puts such a tax administrative burden on individuals.
Also, these calculations seem to assume electricity costs will remain constant, and not increase.

The leadership problem is a big issue. I'm currently looking for work in the post startup world, places that are "rapidly growing" and filling up their engineering teams. On Glassdoor I see the same exact comments, and it's something I've personally experienced as well

Pro: the engineering team is great and you'll learn a lot on the job

Con: management is constantly shifting focus so you end up working on features for a while just to throw them away. Or the company pivots 2+ times.
You are right, it is not OK to deliberately lie. What I meant is it's OK from the point of view of science and science will correct these kind of "lies" in the same way it corrects erroneous measurements, documentation errors, misunderstandings, whatever. Scientific papers are actually full of these, and I dare not guess how many of them are written due to publish-or-perish (which are also some sort of lies, as the writer has not much to say, or only something with negligible importance). We could even think about lied about results as viruses which the immune system will handle.
Did you use any tricks to make yourselfs blink more? I'm going through the same, getting used to contacts, but I can't think of a way to learn myself this without setting a timer every 2 minutes or so - which is obviously not really an option.

> it wasn't supply/demand that then caused oil to implode from $120 to under $20

Yes, it was. On the supply side, we got fracking. On the demand side, we got Great Recession.

The recent oil crashes were prompted, again, by supply-side factors. Not government intervention in the U.S. dollar's exchange rate. If anything, American military interventions in Libya and Syria, combined with equivocation with respect to Iran, has introduced supply-side constraints on the market.

> saving money over the 20 year lifetime of a project

Practical point being, a future where everyone has rooftop solar is a future where everyone is spending more on energy than the alternate future of utility-scale solar. If we want to save money, the cheapest solution, i.e. utility-scale solar, is the way to go.

I don't think you are correct in saying this. Brexit negotiations are ongoing, and I haven't seen any indications that either side is interested in dropping this aspect of regulation; but one thing worth bearing in mind is that the UK has relatively fewer of these designations in comparison to the EU, and thus you could argue has less to lose. But I very much doubt it will come to that, and I think it would be a loss for both sides if it did.

That may be so, there's probably also a whole bunch of people out there who think that Bill Gates invented the computer, it doesn't matter... it's a fools errand to try to eradicate ignorance of outsiders at the cost of disregarding any relationship that is not official and "endorsed" as invalid, i'd go as far as saying it's toxic.

Endorsement is not the only valid relationship between pieces of software, and it's definitely not the most important one. As an example of how bad this can be, git asked gitTorrent to change it's name to remove "git" - how absurd is that, git's protocols are modular, they are intended to be extended, this adds a torrent type protocol to git, it's for git... what the fuck else would you call it:

torrent-protocol-for-that-popular-merkel-tree-based-scm-that-is-not-mercurical-but-i'm-not-allowed-to-use-its-name

This "policy" completely disregards this as a valid relationship... why does it have to be endorsed, no one cares, they care about names that clearly communicate their purpose. gitTorrent and a thousand other extensions to git probably aren't going to be as popular as git itself, they aren't going to have enough presence that naming them something completely unique and obscure is going to be useful to users.

[edit]

I just want to say (and then I'll stop ranting), as much as this policy obviously irritates me... I love git, and so was pretty disappointed to find this, it doesn't make me love git any less, but It makes me more wary of people who "manage" open source projects.

Not to start a long philosophical discussion, but hacker culture (you might not like it, but the author seems to be sympathetic to it) has been traditionally critical to the notion of 'intellectual property', that is that by creating some intellectual work I can prohibit the others from redistributing it. The idea that I 'own' my personal data seems to be another step further is diluting the notion of property: this time I don't even need to create anything to impose limitations on the others.

It is also not about 'rich' and 'poor', it's about clear rules that are the same for the rich and for the poor alike.

Coffee and tea can be inexpensive if you brew it yourself. Coffee even less so if you roast it. I've been roasting my own coffee for years now, started with a $100 machine which lasted about 4 years/100 lbs, and then I upgraded to a $350 machine. A pound of coffee costs between $4 and $7, and tastes comparable to something that a boutique roaster sells for $15/12oz. The upfront cost is relatively high, but if your enjoyment of coffee is encroaching into the realm of "hobby" then it's absolutely worthwhile.

Thanks, I like the idea of siloing each thing, I guess that would also make it easy to pass off management or sell.

But if you have a collection of related services, surely you want to funnel users from one service to the others. I see this happening when a user reads the about page or app description of a standalone app:

- "Like this? Checkout Service X and Product A"

However sometimes I like to see a company behind the app, which I can associate with other quality apps.

- "This is an Umbrella Company Product"

An example is related products by the same developer on app stores. It can also work against you too though, as a bad quality app will tarnish the chances of the other apps...
