> Suppose for a second that the US was at war with Canada and John Doe was an American citizen, but he was serving as a uniformed combatant in the Canadian army. Under such circumstances, I can't imagine anyone would have a problem with the United States military killing John Doe in battle without trial.

Or, for a concrete circumstance that actually occurred, substitute “Canada” for “Nazi Germany”; Americans fighting for the Nazis, in uniform or not, did not get special protection different from other Nazi combatants, either on the battlefield or when detained as prisoners (see, e.g., Ex Parte Quirin, in which two of the eight saboteurs detained and eventually sentenced by military tribunal to death as unlawful combatants were US citizens.)

> During development with Rails I struggled a lot, because it was forcing CRUD ideology ...

This reminds me a bit of my first experiences with Common Lisp to write anything resembling serious code. (A Java compiler for my compilers class in school.)

My education to that point had almost entirely been driven from a purely list based and functional view of the language. Instructors would default to lists at the expense of other data structures and strongly encourage 'non-destructive' operations at the expense of mutation. (Even the term 'destructive' carries with it an obvious negative and somewhat dangerous connotation.)

Flash forward a couple semesters, and I'm trying to take this approach beyond writing simple unifiers and minimax search and apply it to a compiler with multiple layers of code that's being built up in phases over months. A month or so in, my resolve cracked, I started exploring some of the other options provided by the language (hash tables, vectors, mutation, etc.) and made a bunch more progress (and got something working by the end of the class).

My point in saying this isn't really to advocate for mutation, etc., but rather to agree with your point that sometimes it's worth breaking out of self-imposed constraints so that you can face the external constraints that are probably more important. (ie: my business client probably doesn't give a damn if my RESTful interface is RMM level 2 or three as long as it lets her effectively run her business.)

(One thing I'll add about the Lisp experience above is that it was more than half a lifetime ago... I'd probably be more nuanced with my use of mutation, etc. now than I was then. But then, I was much less experienced and a refugee from Pascal, etc. One of my constraints was my instructors' encouragements to avoid mutation... but another of my constraints was my own lack of techniques for working that way.)

Also, many people who have only recently adopted GraphQL, as it is relatively new. These people will not have the long-term experience necessary to assess GraphQL in hindsight.

There is an advantage to making technology decisions behind-the-curve, choosing mature, "battle-tested" technology, even if it means overlooking some known warts, and missing out on what's "hot". We can call this being a "late-adopter". I am most interested in N-years-later perspectives where N is around 3 or more.

The USA enjoys a unique position with respect to sovereign debt, since it is denominated in our own currency. Also, a great deal of it is owed to ourselves and it has always been the plan of political parties to just stiff future generations. Debt crises might happen but probably not the biggest problem faced by USA. It is odd to focus on borrowing when our country faces numerous acute problems at the moment.
I'd argue that the more pure FP languages have a higher learning curve, but that doesn't equate lower productivity. Plenty of people are productive in FP languages, and there are a good number of FP languages with decent adoption throughout the industry. They might not be as widely adopted as Python, but that's because it's really easy to learn Python.
I should also mention that we finished our migration ahead of schedule. It was super easy to have GraphQL alongside REST, and we quickly iterated on converting each rest call to graphQL.

We’ve also found that on boarding our new hires is much simpler. There’s a lot of misinformation about REST, and we were having to retrain people, and when they wanted to see our schema we would then have to teach them swagger as well. With GraphQL we just send them to the official docs with our schema with is our single source of truth for the API and they come back a day later ready to go. Generally GraphQL being more standardized and centrally managed has been great from a training perspective.

> '"Monad" seems to be similarly confused'

In most cases Monad goes the opposite direction than REST: most people discover that yes, what they've been writing is a monad, they just didn't know it. Conversely, most people are told that no, they are not doing REST right, because REST is actually about <something else> ;)
I'm not a fan of 'multiparadigm'. As another comment on this branch says, the Zen of Python covers this quite well:

> There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it

There are already 20 different ways of solving any given problem or of coding any given solution. At least if a single paradigm is used, then those familiar with it are unlikely to run into big surprises about how things are implemented. If your developers are used to an imperative style, a chunk of code in the middle of the codebase written in a strongly functional style is very difficult to comprehend.

In one tool I wrote for work, I use function application to progressively transform a stream of events. It's a beautiful, neat solution to the problem, but confuses the hell out of everyone else because they've never written any Haskell. There are other ways to implement this that are just as clear and abstracted and maybe they take slightly more code, but it is code that is more maintainable by everyone else. Good code to me is not that which looks like it was coded by a genius, but that which looks like any child could have written it. For some code this is very hard, but I find it easier in Python than other languages.

The more 'choices' that you have, the more inconsistency there will be about who chooses what. There is obviously a tradeoff here with giving developers the right tools for the job, but list comprehensions are a great example of how you can do that without having to use a different paradigm.
I use eBay because the platform is designed to incentivize transparency. Prices are not generated algorithmically and the reputation of the actual seller is prominently displayed. Shipping terms and timelines are clearly stated alongside the item. So is the return policy.

While all marketplaces are caveat emptor, on Amazon I am up against Amazon with all its staff, scalable computing hardware, and algorithms out to maximize the amount I pay. I may not trust a particular seller on eBay, but that's better than not being able to trust Amazon.

My favorite bit:

> Jupiter doesn’t go around the sun, and therefore is not a planet by the 2006 definition.

> Don’t believe me? In Newtonian mechanics, two bodies orbit their barycenter, or center of mass. If they have equal masses, the barycenter is the midpoint between them. If one is heavier than the other, the barycenter is closer to it. If one has much greater mass than the other, their common barycenter is located within the larger body, and the smaller object goes around that point. Only then is the smaller body said to orbit the larger one. Otherwise, the two form a binary system.

> Jupiter is ludicrously heavy: it has 2.5 times the mass of everything else in the solar system combined, apart from the sun. The sun is much heavier still—but the barycenter of their mutual orbit is outside it. Jupiter and the sun are a binary system. Their barycenter is, to be fair, quite close to the sun, and informally it may be reasonable to say Jupiter goes around it. But in terms of the formal definition, it doesn’t, so by the IAU criteria, Jupiter is not a planet.
Its almost two decades now, although one could argue that this has been going on for almost three decades depending on when one thinks this conflict started. The thing I find the most insane is that at the end of next year young men and women will begin to deploy to Afghanistan and other bases around the world that were not even born when 9/11 happened. And that is something that we should not accept.

Is it fair to say that your system relies, more or less, upon one server change per client request change/new request type? Doesn't sound like a dealbreaker necessarily, but I thought this was a big part of the problem GraphQL was supposed to solve.

I worked at the Richfield HQ in 2010 before Joly came in and it was a disaster working there. Environments would go down and stay down for hours or days. I would come in at 8am and not be able to work until 1 or 2pm. They had such a consistent turn over, they would have 3rd party vendors and have no idea who the contact was or what company actually operated large chunks of their network. They essentially had a 70-80% contract workforce so the code was unbearable to deal with. Nobody cared about how bad the code was, they just cared the site looked nice. The amount of hacks I saw were shocking. Writing a 25 line script to indent an H3 title two spaces? Yeah, that was pretty common.

I left after 8 months. Several of my friends stayed on and noticed how different it was when Joly came on. Several years on, things have gotten significantly better. They've modernized a lot of their apps (even through their website is still clunky and old) and are in the process of revamping their site to a far more modern stack. Joly cleaned house and brought in people who want to modernize their software, and from what I know now, the people who stayed on are a lot happier nowadays.

I'm also a fan of the assertion-evidence style, though I've found over the years that it works better for some talks than others. Animating in an explanation over a series of slides, for example, sometimes doesn't fit that style very well.

Even if you don't go all the way to using the assertion-evidence style, titles are a great place to summarize the main point of the slide. So rather than "Results (3)", use the space for something more descriptive like "Velocity vs time during reentry".
well the game will continue until you cant service your debt payments anymore. Then you default. Crisis, pain, recession. Rinse then repeat.

Amen. You have to compare assets vs debt, and then you have to compare asset growth projections vs debt growth projections, as any responsible finance thinking would go. Even then US debt provides a market function, so debt on a governmental level is quite different than say household or corporate debt.

To wit, US assets value in something like the 240 trillion dollar range, though I’m sure you could find wide variance to such measurements given the complexity of the US asset holdings.
The point is that the dollars used to buy BTC has to come from somewhere.

From wikipedia (see above):

"the US policy of considering all military-age males in a strike zone as militants"

In other words: even IF you assume that killing someone because they're "militants" is automatically okay, the people "pulling the trigger" barely ever know who they're killing, yet they retroactively count them as "probably bad enough to be droned".

There are HUGE benefits for our client developers with GraphQL. Like being able to select as much or as little as a particular view/component/whatever requires and no more. GraphQL from a front end or mobile POV makes your api more like a data store that it can interact with and query for it's needs, which makes app UI work much nicer.

There are also a ton of maintenance benefits, like for example if you add a field in GraphQL that's perfectly fine to not change the version because that break any existing calls, which is not always true with REST.

I think in linux you could already do this if you wanted to.

unprivileged user namespace + mount namespace -> mount some tmpfs, bind-mount (optionally read-only or noexec), pivot_root and you got an isolated view of the filesystem. You could write a wrapper around that which provides a streamlined API in the fashion of unveil.

It's what sandboxes and containers runtimes do. Instead it could also be made into a security library which processes could use as part of their startup sequence.

Basically, the linux building-blocks (seccomp, namespaces, privileges) are more low-level and you need to assemble pledge/unveil-like abstractions from them. But I am not aware of any established library that does that in a convenient fashion.
I'm a musician, and a lot of these ideas are familiar. But I wonder if the music scene is a little bit more mature or realistic (searching for a word here) about it. A work can go through a lot of different hands before it reaches an audience. People are fully aware of this. Yes, a few people get screwed, but others make an honest living as "technicians." It's been a reasonable side income for me. And except at the superstar level, the technicians might actually be doing better than the artists, especially if they can diversify their income sources a bit.

Even the instrument that I play... it bears the name of a master, but there's no secret about the fact that it was produced in a workshop, as the fiddles "made" by Stradivarius probably were.
The point is not that you can do explicit casts, it's that because you can form a (fake) instance for impossible types you can do invalid type conversions without doing anything that looks unsafe.

In Haskell you can certainly achieve the same thing with various common extensions ( http://okmij.org/ftp/Haskell/impredicativity-bites.html ). Possibly not in vanilla Haskell '98, at the price of being not a very nice language to work in. (A total language like Idris should permit GADT-like functionality without allowing this kind of issue).
I think the biggest thing to keep in mind is that the Federal Government of a monetarily sovereign nation (like the US, UK, Japan, Australia, etc.) plays by different rules to a household or business.

This could be a massive problem if the debt was denominated in a currency other than US dollars (which the US Government controls the monopoly currency issuer for). But since all of the US's debt is in US dollars, and they're not constrained by artificial limitations like commodity convertibility or fixed exchange rates, it's just an interesting fact that doesn't actually really matter much.

The real killers are excessive private sector debt, and even worse, debt denominated in a foreign currency.
Is it a thing, though? All I see is a comment expecting it to be a thing.
Did you really mean to say this:
"...recorded nearly 1.000 days of sleep..."
Pure functions can be even better if they are combinators, I mean, no free variables used. When you have no free variables you have exactly zero dependencies on any other code unit. It makes your code unit testable to the extreme.
There's an alternative to defaulting on debt and that is to pay it off. Is there even a case to be made that we are in or near a crisis?
"Renaissance artists were the technicians of course. That’s what they were known for."

That's only partially true.

While Renaissance masters usually had the skill to execute a fully finished work, and probably did so during their own apprenticeship, by the time they became masters they often had workshops of dozens or even hundreds of assistants who did almost all of the work for them. After the work was almost complete, the master might come in and put on some finishing touches.

There's lots of art out there these days that's misattributed to the master when it was actually done by one of his assistants in the workshop, whose training was usually centered around creating art that looked just like the master's.
Refrigerators functions haven't changed much, but their prices seem to go up over time, yet their reliability and life expectancy goes down. Also parts are priced such that it's cheaper to buy a new one if you expect a second faulty part within the would be warranty time of a new one.
