This. Exactly this!

I think anyone with experience will realise that you can get pretty much all the benefits of GraphQL with just a more sophisticated RESTish API.

There is however, one thing that I think GraphQL backends have that REST backends don't, and that's the idea of introspection. Every GraphQL backend must be able to serve it's API data models and types. And I think the community tooling that leverages this makes it an amazing experience for app developers. No SDKs, any GraphQL client works with any GraphQL backend. Codegen esp for Android type apps to skip boilerplate of mapping APIs to POJOs. IDE autocomplete. I really think that the killer feature of GraphQL is that.

We built a JSON DSL over a normal POST endpoint. Most GraphQL advantages sound "not really true" to me because you can always achieve the same thing (almost) yourself anyway.
If you release corporate secrets you can be successfully sued, regardless.
The article says we've "solved" it, but later on it says:

> Steve is an important discovery because of its location in the sub auroral zone, an area of lower latitude than where most auroras appear that is not well researched. For one, with this discovery, scientists now know there are unknown chemical processes taking place in the sub auroral zone that can lead to this light emission.

> Second, Steve consistently appears in the presence of auroras, which usually occur at a higher latitude area called the auroral zone. That means there is something happening in near-Earth space that leads to both an aurora and Steve. Steve might be the only visual clue that exists to show a chemical or physical connection between the higher latitude auroral zone and lower latitude sub auroral zone, said MacDonald.

Essentially, we still don't know what exactly is happening.
Certification. Many commercial RTOS's are already certified to ASIL-C or ASIL-D, which requires extensive testing to verify that the system will work as designed and every code path is covered by tests. Products exist like Automotive Grade Linux, but you will have to go through the verification and certification process yourself which isn't quick or cheap. I'm not even sure it's possible to certify Linux to ASIL-D.

So yes, I'm sure that Linux can work. But it will be difficult to prove to auditors that it will always work.
I disagree. It's equivalent to suggesting in a discussion about optimal poker strategies that you shouldn't play poker. In the context of the conversation it's already given that you've decided to play and you want to figure out how to win. Whether discussing driving or drinking it's assumed that you want to live and do so in the way that most optimally achieves your goals. Not playing the game isn't part of the discussion.

I believe that article is referring when you need to fetch the data in differents places. Of course in your design, a single SQL query to you database would resolve it, probably you would use the same query for a Graphql resolve. But when a field need to be fetched from another database or document in a nosql, for example, graphql tends to be more organized, of course in a restful APi you would run some concurrents jobs and have the same result.
I believe that best benefits that I got from graphql is flexibility in the endpoint with some basic validation data type and a good structure in the backend. However, about performance is debatable.
You do have some rights, but SCOTUS has ruled in the past that the sovereign prerogative of the federal government are "at their apogee" when you are at the border.

The feds assert a bullshit 100-mile zone, but that is covers a tremendous swath of the country (and a huge % of citizens), and is untested jurisprudence.
5+ reasons why anti-virus is not enough protection for UK Start-ups
Let me try to rephrase. If you have a (too easy) way to backup, i.e. extract, the master key, then an attacker can use the same mechanism to backup your master key without you even knowing that the backup happened.

You can, for example, set up a pin or passphrase, however the fido2 protocol doesn't (necessarily) work like that. You buy a key, and you just start using it. There are multiple options to implement a backup protocol, but no standard one to the best of my knowledge. My original point was just that in designing such a protocol, it's important to consider this "unknown backup attack".
Supreme Court Should Say No to Patents That Take Old Ideas Away from the Public
I can imagine this, especially with friends who "friend all over the place". My own network of friends, and most of their friends, have remained much more contained. People who want to be in touch with real friends, not "products" or random encounters or "networking".

However, did Facebook use this as an argument for their change? I've not seen them doing so.

And I'm reminded of the whole "profile pictures are now forcibly changed to be public" policy, earlier. It may help people who don't know each other much and have no other avenue of communication, to "friend" each other. (Is that the right John/Jane Smith?) But, again in my anecdotal case, real friends can communicate out-of-band which is the right profile. They're already in touch; Facebook, just allows for asynchronous group sharing and discussion (or did, once upon a "simpler" time).

The response to the "profile pictures must be public"? Those with privacy concerns no longer have a profile picture that shows them, if they ever did.

Real names, too. That one helps to align collected data with data sales and advertising.

And, for connecting less strong social connections.

I understand the desire to "connect the world", especially in its more altruistic aspect.

But, once again, Facebook quasi forced it. Whereas, social connections and sharing tend to work better when they are "opt in". Not opt out, or even no ability to opt out.
Open source is Not a business model
This issue doesn’t depend on conglomerates (unless you’re implicating all companies developing the Internet); it’s going to happen when these people get online whether it’s on Facebook or incel forums. It’s a very unfortunate side effect of global peer-to-peer communication as enabled by the Internet.
Computer Networking at SUNY Oswego, as taught by Doug Lea. At least it was used in 2012 when I took it. The hardcover is on my work bookshelf behind me now -- so useful I kept it.

Ask HN: Strictly business question – how a Trump impeachment impacts business?
Really hoping the personal opinions and polarity can be avoided as I ask this question. Many of my clients started investing heavily when Trump was elected. Some were avid supporters. Others simply felt a pro-business environment justified additional hiring, spending, etc. Setting aside the many ways in which he has/may have offended or enacted bad policy... how might the shock and tumult of impeachment impact your business, if at all?
Last time I returned to the US from Brazil, the entire experience through immigration and customs was one angry loud yelling lady after another. Nobody was even doing anything wrong or making mistakes. It was just their standard way of talking to people. Totally not who you would want welcoming someone to our country.
The really bad look is that they are willing to pay money to sling "PR" but aren't willing to spend that money on even cheaper measures that could actually help the root problem like plopping down more watercoolers, fans and vents in the walls, or even dividing it into more breaks. That says "We are doing wrong, know it and not only don't care but we actively prefer it that way."

I feel that lament, but I wonder what problems people have now, that aren't more easily solved with an existing desktop program or an app?

(implying that all easily solved problems have been solved many times over, which makes now different from the 1990s. And modern solutions are more complex to reflect more complex computing reality).
you really don't need a fancy RTOS for this stuff

maybe you don't, but genuinely curious how do you validate/guarantee scenarios then?
Fascinating! Yeah it's funny how we tend to take Google/Stack overflow and all the amazing resources on the internet for granted now haha
I have a Tesla, my dad had a Moskvitch.

I find a lot of people like to make dramatic comparisons (like you just did) when they don't even have the option of acting on their supposed preferences. I doubt you even understand what life would be like with the pile of shit that soviet cars were.
I fail to see what is novel about "delivering X via drone". Is delivering a new thing via truck patentable?

What, specifically, did they invent? Its the same patent landgrab as software patents where it is "do X, but on the internet".

I'd call this as IBM trying to lay down a patent minefield against those that would actually engage in commerce. In this sense, the patent does not advance the arts or sciences and should fail the sniff test for granting an absolute monopoly to a corporation on some action.
pff, only two months, my wife (Chinese, if it matters) just learned her grandfather passed away last summer year ago, because they didn't want to upset her when she was like 5 months pregnant and this was almost 90yo guy with health issues, so not much surprise there to upset anyone

as I pointed to her if they lie about such big thing how can you trust them even with smaller things where they would not hesitate to lie at all
Maybe you're right. I wonder how much of it is non-stop political articles in our faces if we consume social media combined with the fact that we rely so little on our neighbors and friends because we don't have to so understanding and sympathy skills have plummeted.

On the latter point I wonder if lower human social contact and ease of escape online means lower tolerance towards differing opinions, or even things we deem wrong. It feels more and more like typed opinions are people shouting into the sky, and when disagreed with they get offended and lash out or they say "you're not who I was referring to," almost like that racist grandma stereotype.
Seems they are taking a similar approach as they do for negative reviews.
I realize you may be saying this tongue-in-cheek, but that's such a hilariously compelling idea (speaking as an engineer pipe-dreaming about ideal jobs) that I'm making this rather unsubstantive comment to both encourage and say "give me a ping if you do"...

(the mental dissonance for me is that while I'm no fan of software patents, and even broader patents as they stand now, attempting to motivate that change in parallel with capitalizing on the existing state of affairs seems pragmatic, if hypocritical; I've had to bang my head against this due to filings through work already)
Plenty of people troll in real life: streakers, hecklers, cat-callers, bullies, performance artists, pranksters, protesters, radio personalities.

The consequences for pissing people off are somewhat higher in real life, which means people tend to either troll only for causes really important to them (protesters, performance artists), or in ways that are innocuous enough they're not likely to get punched (streakers, pranksters). But if trolling is defined as "intentionally trying to get a strong emotional reaction out of people", that happens all the time. When BLM blocks an interstate, that's trolling (for a good cause IMHO, but it doesn't make drivers any less pissed). When Opie & Anthony started "Whip 'em out Wednesdays" or announced that Mayor Menino was dead, that was trolling. When people prank-call the neighbors or call in bomb threats to public places, that's trolling.

I am not sure if they will ever be acquired by AirBnb, the main difference is that they either own the apartments but most likely They have signed long term leases on the apartments, this is a completely different model than Airbnb.

They're much more closer to WeWork' Business model. This is typically a vertical where WeWork could make acquisitions.

The space is quite competitive, and a company like https://www.staylyric.com/ is doing pretty much the same thing.

That's baloney. GraphQL can have just as locked down code paths as any non-GraphQL API. Facebook does exactly this.
So one ugly hack was replaced with another somewhat less ugly hack, which will be replaced by another hack at a later date.

Sounds like every corporate environment I ever encountered, and Tesla it seems. It usually happens becuase they have the money to do it wrong multiple times rather than no choice but to get it right the first time.
>I cringe reading that as a child of parents who spent their lives self-medicating through drugs and alcohol rather than seeking outside help...

I declared myself as an alcoholic in an effort to get outside help. It was a big mistake. I went from being the equivalent of a Jew in a ghetto to a Jew in a ghetto who had ever so helpfully just pinned a gold star on their chest in order to identify themselves more clearly to their persecutors.

One of the problems your parents had, is that in you they had a child who clearly chose to 'admonish' and just feel self-pity.

I don't blame you. My sister hated our alcoholic father and she still hates alcoholics. She's a Nurse Practitioner BTW.

If you cared about your parents, you would have looked into the why's and wherefore's of drug addiction and if you cared about anybody else you would have moved heaven and earth to make sure nobody else should have to go through what you did as a child.

To just say: Drugs are bad, mmmkay?

That's a stuck record and about as bad as it gets and just ensures drug abuse persists and the broken lives with it.

Which is basically what you and this study are promulgating.

If you recognise you are an alcoholic you ultimately have 3 choices:

1) Carry on as you are with the inevitable consequences of a slow unpleasant & painful death but also significant damage to those who love you: family & friends.

2) Own up to your addiction. See comments above. BTW, the medical profession will like you no more than the rest of society ie. Not at all. If you recover, it's going to be largely due to your own efforts & if you're lucky enough, supportive loved one(s).

3) Suicide. ASAP.

I think that's known as a classic Hobson's choice.

I would imagine commoditization generally increases - those variables which market values. In this case I presume the variables include reliability since that stuff is probably used in IoT systems where minimizing maintenance can be probably considered am asset.

Although I don't know the market. It might screwed by some weird market dynamic.
It sounds more like they didn't follow the specific way bosh requires you to use their HW. I highly double VW or others would use Bosh if hacks are required to get them to work.
I guess that's .NET Framework only - is there something similar for .NET Core?
These searches are largely conducted on foreign nationals. They do not have a right to enter the US and can be detained, or denied entry if they do not agree to unlock their phone or otherwise cooperate.

US citizens cannot ultimately be denied entry. US customers and border can seize property(from US citizens) and later make a determination as to whether it should be returned. Abuse by those in power does happen, but in the vast majority of cases where property is allegedly wrongfully seized there is more to the story than is reported to the press initially.
I believe the question being raised is the opposite: that this violation is bad, and we cannot neglect the other violations already being done remotely by these other agencies.
I understand SAP's business model: common core business logic code that helps your legal compliance, then lightly customized at great expense.

What I don't understand is why the UI sucks so very, very much every single time. And why it's so very, very slow. It seems like it has to be on purpose. Can anyone with insight explain it to me?
Pretty much anything that actually needs hard realtime is very likely running on a dedicated MCU/FPGA/ASIC. Linux is vastly easier to use for everything else, though. Navigation or communication doesn't need hard realtime, for example.
> Amazon spokeswoman Melanie Etches said the figures were “misleading because they include people who only worked for Amazon for a short period of time and/or who chose to work part-time,” she said in a statement. “We have hundreds of full-time roles available, however, some prefer part-time for the flexibility or other personal reasons.”

It's possible that some of these part-time people only work so much because of the welfare gap. If they worked more, they wouldn't get food stamps, but wouldn't make enough to both offset the cost of food and the opportunity cost of the time they'll spend working.

A UBI would fix this issue if implemented correctly.
The most disturbing part of this, for me, is this line in the very first tweet:

"... caused almost the entire fleet to reboot loop ..."

I am not interested in being part of someone's fleet. The fact that they use this language at all to describe an end-user who has purchased an automobile suggests that their expectations and my own - of what it means to purchase and operate a car - are in deeply (possibly dangerously) mis-aligned.
I'd say it's a bad idea anyway - why you need to trust the user with anything that needs pickle (as opposed to much more primitive format) to unserialize? If you ever have a reason for non-opaque-id cookies at all, it should be very simple. If you stuff very complex objects that require native serialization into user-side storage, it's probably bad idea regardless of security implications.
That threw me away, worse is that the cloud version and on-premise are different products and not compatible. Is not something like RDS where you can just move your postgres setup to your own server or some other cloud service.

As it just happened to you, you can see they are putting some effort in hiding on-premise from their front page. All their effor seems to be going to the cloud version.
Why are so many things framed by HN users in terms of scenes from The Big Short?
Floodgap admin here. Always love these articles, but I think I'll need to watch the load average today. :-)

The article mentioned the various Firefox addons available. I'm trying to get native client functionality back into Firefox despite Web Extensions so we don't have to rely on proxies. This requires some unfortunate skulduggery with installing a native component because no native TCP sockets in WX, but it does work. That experiment is OverbiteNX: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/overbitenx/
"Hacker" "News" mines the depths of Wikipedia. PPF is a buzzword and you know nothing.
I'll copy the info text of the account here for some context. The account currently hosts almost 100'000 photos.

Born in Philadelphia, later a Bostonian and later still a "hall of fame", fountain-designing Aspenite, Nick DeWolf was a unique, inspiring, engaging and curious soul. Co-founder of Boston's Teradyne Corporation, Nick was also a lifelong, extremely passionate and talented photographer, as evidenced by the images presented here at Flickr.

As a photographer, Nick was ever ready and ever present, leaving behind many thousands of pre-digital images, dating well back into the 1950's. He carried a camera with him at all times, usually a family of cameras. If you knew Nick, you got used to this ... eventually, he'd be pointing his camera at you.

I (the Archivist) am working to post Nick's images in their original sets as they are scanned and processed, somewhere in the order of 20-50 images a day. For those wondering about an endgame, as in "How much longer can this possibly go on?", I can only answer, "The mountain is high, the journey is long."

It is my hope and intent to eventually digitize every picture Nick DeWolf ever shot. It is also my hope and intent to post the images here on the web for the scattered members of the DeWolf family, and the public at large, to enjoy.

Nothing would have tickled Nick more.

So, here we go...the world through the eyes of my father-in-law, Nick DeWolf.

Enjoy....

I heard the same thing about the burnout and turnover. Do companies really think they are saving money by paying peanuts, grinding people down to burnout, and then constantly having to rehire/retrain new people as the old ones leave? Meanwhile the code is a mess because nobody has been there longer than a year and there is no architecture or design continuity. Just frantic patches over other frantic patches by burnt out junior engineers. It makes no sense!
Yes. Class 4 LTE is widely available and tops out at 150Mbps. I usually get half of that.

More to the point you only need your contacts and a few other things immediately.
"Corporate welfare" is a real thing.

Something to keep in mind, the next time -- and every time -- a politician or partisan goes on about the "travesty" of (personal) welfare from an "economic" perspective.

And, this "corporate welfare" takes on many and many overlapping forms. For example, many children in this country (the U.S.) have health insurance, health care, and dental care through Medicaid and government programs.

A lot of their parents are working.

Personally, I don't begrudge this -- not to those children -- in the least. Good health is the foundation of a good life. That also means a productive life that contributes to our shared society.

But, those jobs aren't paying those parents what it takes to support their families. Something that is arguably necessary for those people to be able to continue to work them.

(And many of those parents, themselves, do not have health care coverage. Which, among many other things, also keeps them more vulnerable as a population.)

It's getting hard for me to avoid using Amazon for some things. Local stores no longer carry them. And it sure is convenient (well, price/marketing manipulation and increasingly rough and unreliable shipping aside).

But it feels like we are being funneled into an increasingly inescapable form of this social abuse, at the same time.
Why “data for good” lacks precision
I'm on the "less government is best government" side of things and I'm having a hard time finding anything that's fundamentally wrong about the bill described in this article. Kind of funny how it takes an independent senator to propose a bill that has a purpose of reducing government waste.
