Author here: The problem with GraphQL is that it has to re-invent everything on top of HTTP. Introspected REST reuses HTTP properties and architecture by default, making more robust and compatible with existing clients. Also related: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18425581
Yes, absolutely. Fish oil is not needed at all. The EPA and DHA in fish was initially produced by algae anyway.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_fatty_acid

The 2 essential fatty acids are:

- alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, an omega-3 fatty acid). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-Linolenic_acid

- linoleic acid (LA, an omega-6 fatty acid). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linoleic_acid

Linseed oil (flaxseed oil) is a good provider of essential fatty acids. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linseed_oil

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) or DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are conditionally essential fatty acids.

Hi, author here. That was one person publication so tough to come up with tooling as well :)

I think we just wanted to show that it is possible to come up with a different (better we think) architecture other than REST and that's a big thing I think. Relevant answer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18425581
It's not surprising FSF sees the Commons Clause as non-F/OSS according to their definition.

The question, though, is whether OSI's taxonomy is even relevant today when there are other, more imminent concerns. Namely, if you want your software project to contribute to software and information monopolization in "the cloud" and on very few content aggregation sites such as Fb, github, and others that themselves don't reciprocally allow eg. indie search crawlers and untracked linking.
Some of them, probably. But not necessarily all of them, and I don't think it's a necessary precondition. I've certainly not heard of very many suicide bombers or mass shooters that had diagnosed but unmanaged mental health conditions.

Is someone having political beliefs that they're willing to die/kill for a sign of mental illness?
Came to say this. I’ve lived in London for 3.5 years and first winter got really depressed - originally from NZ and we have more light. Tried meditation and exercise and it kind of worked, but still not great. Next one and all since just took vit D everyday and the change in mood through winter has been remarkable.
No. If you don't understand the difference between placebo and homeopathy I suggest you do some reading into them both.

> We’ve already got Wall Street – must we be flooded with rich techies on top of that?

Speaking as a long-time NYC resident, I'm glad that the income taxes that these "rich techies" pay will help NYC provide services for the less fortunate. Our infrastructure - roads, bridges, subways, public housing - is crumbling, and an increased tax base can only help. People with money also spend it on local businesses, which provides jobs for other people.

Also, techies aren't really "rich" by NYC standards. Software developers aren't the ones buying up the new $10 million apartments that are going up all over the city, or even the old apartments on Park Avenue. And not everyone who works at Amazon is a techie anyway.

Finally, NYC has a population of 8M and the metro area has a population of 20M. Adding 20K "techies" isn't going to make a big difference in our demographics.
What you mean is that C++ doesn't have a way to (easily) let you check whether a given reference is null or not. int* a = NULL; int& b = *a; compiles and runs just fine.

What dosage did you take?
If you are talking to devices that you can't even access/control, REST is a better way of interacting with the sensors. RPC is out of the question because it tights implementation with the API. However if you talk to a client that you can control, it's up to you, if you want to use RPC then it's fine.
It is interesting to me how much attention the media pays to the rise of the AfD, while they basically ignore a similar rise of the Grune (Greens) party in the last two state elections. You can see the swing against the two major parties and towards the AfD and Grune in both[0][1] (scroll down to the second graph "Gewinne und verlust").

What if it turns out that missing person cases that are advertised on Facebook are resolved, on average, at a faster rate, or some such.

Would you still object if outcomes were objectively better?
That's our proposal/challenge here, come up with a model that tries to merry the best of both world (RPC and REST) but still adheres to HTTP semantics and allow clients/servers to evolve independently.

E.T.Jaynes: "Probability Theory, The Logic Of Science"
It isn't just inertia, there's also decades to centuries of developments in currencies with stability being one of the core goals. There are also plenty of examples of the system failing when current best practices weren't followed, even when adoption has been high.

The authorities behind the most popular crypto currencies today doesn't seem to be aiming for stability as a primary goal. The currencies would not be very meaningful as instruments for speculation if they were, which probably is the reason why stable cryptocurrencies aren't as popular.
Cows and horses are not people. The use of human brains or human brain matter brings up slavery in a way that rat brains don't because owning animals is not considered morally equivalent to owning people.

I would agree if the goal is to fly. For some researchers, however, the goal is actually to apply neuromorphic hardware to humans, i.e. to build a bird rather than just to fly.
Anecdatum: my dad never did any sports and never did any physical work that was harder than carrying a shopping bag to the first floor. He lived up to 90, was never seriously ill, and never experienced any back pain in his entire life.

Here are my concerns with their statement:

First, I recall warnings about too much fish consumption due to mercury levels in the fish. So how much fish consumption is necessary to get the required omega 3 and does the benefits balance out over the harm caused by the mercury? And are there any particular kinds of fish to consume to limit mercury exposure while getting the benefits of omega 3?

Second, as far as I know juices are not too great for your health, all the sugars of a large amount of fruit in a quickly absorbable form without the fiber to slow it down. Consuming large amounts of juice might have been the trigger for diabetic conditions in a family member.
Also, if I remember correctly, cereal had also been deemed not particularly healthy, although I don't recall the details.

The chapters on my web site are unedited review drafts with a lot of errors that were fixed in the printed book.

Surely also what errors can occur. Can the network using library throw disk IO errors? Permissions errors? Maybe it handles all the network errors internally to the library and I don't need to deal with those at all.

Even if the law is unjust, breaking it is not necessarily just. It still depends on the circumstances. In this case he charged fees and almost certainly lied to the immigrant about their chances of getting a job.

Redis’ core is still BSD-licensee but Salvatore Sanfilippo transferred the IP rights to Redis Labs, which means there is nothing to stop Redis Labs from pulling another bait-and-switch and making Redis itself non-free.

I think all companies using Redis should make contingency plans for when that happens. I’m afraid forking Redis will likely prove necessary given Redis Labs’ record of questionable behavior.

This is a ridiculous argument. Every law prohibiting or encouraging a behavior has the potential to create an illicit market. the fact that such a black market could exist is a pretty poor excuse to disregard it.

Just reading this makes me pissed off. I have hardworking friends who get good jobs (some FAANG and some in finance) but ultimately had to pack their bags and go home because they were “unlucky” several times in the h1b lottery system, and here we have people committing fraud. Bad actors like these then hurt even existing H1B holders in the context of more strict vetting processes for extensions etc., thus slowing USCIS down and grinding the whole system to a halt.

I doubt this is all of it. There’s definitely more in hiding.
“Our successors!” repeated Nikolai Petrovich, with a dejected smile. He had been sitting on thorns, all through the argument, and had done nothing but glance stealthily, with a sore heart, at Arkady. “Do you know what I was reminded of, brother? I once had a dispute with our poor mother; she stormed, and wouldn’t listen to me. At last I said to her, ‘Of course, you can’t understand me; we belong,’ I said, ‘to two different generations.’ She was dreadfully offended, while I thought, ‘There’s no help for it. It’s a bitter pill, but she has to swallow it.’ You see, now, our turn has come, and our successors can say to us, ‘You are not of our generation; swallow your pill.’”

This is great and really resonates. I've often thought the current strife manifests from an inevitable transition of power from the extremely powerful, rich and reluctant baby boom generation to the next millennial generation.

My uncle passed away. The cancer kept reoccurring which was due to mutations (gene-related). My uncle's isn't related to me blood-wise, but his sons are. They have the same gene. I, AFAIK, don't have that gene. My uncle grew his own marihuana (within Dutch legal limits) because he got cancer. Before that, not.

I'm a proponent of medical marihuana however I've became an opponent of recreational marihuana usage. I am very sensitive to drugs in general and had a few psychoses in the past on marihuana (recreational usage though).

We're from The Netherlands and my father had MS and could've used medical marihuana back in the days (90's and 00's) to relax his muscles better. He declined because he was against marihuana in general. Given my uncle's positive experience, and gives I know it can work, that's saddening.

Also, I've recently started using Prozac (to make me less oversensitive; I have autism). It works, but I need to be careful with other drugs (even alcohol). I use an oxazepam when I need a needle because I have anxiety for needles.

That being said, I'm glad there's a change of breeze regarding marihuana in the world and in the USA.
And it works most of the time, even if the power goes down, there are storms or floods, as long as the wired connection is not down. When NYC lost power in the early oughties, guess which phones were still working? Yep, the pay phones and the landlines. Most of the cell phones were dying or dead. That said, I don't have one but my parents still do.
Healthiest != longest-living != “best.”

Going to the gym, running marathons, and other strenuous activities are generally done for the challenge, difficulty, or achievement of completing them. Personally, I’d take 60 years of a challenging, but meaningful life over 90 years of relaxation and low stress.

The secret of realizing the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment of existence is: to live dangerously! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius! Send your ships out into uncharted seas! Live in conflict with your equals and with yourselves! Be robbers and ravagers as soon as you cannot be rulers and owners, you men of knowledge! The time will soon pass when you could be content to live concealed in the woods like timid deer.

It's early morning for me. I'm reading this having compulsively typed in the address for HN after turning on the computer. I have to say your comment is probably very concise and full of insight, but it reads to me like a Alice-in-Wonderland type thing. Paraphrasing what my first reading picked up:

What a great start for a story.

This is the kind of downpour of imagery and imagination people take drugs for, and it all has this pleasant quality of wonder, spy-science-fiction crossed with literary-nonsense-fantasy. Thank You.
You do know that you can own an apartment, right? Conflating the two issues is a bit parochial; at most, the complaint should be that you don't happen to have a decent choice of apartments for sale in the specific place you want to live.
Right. It’s no big deal for anyone if there’s no mobile signal but no dial tone is shocking. Even when there’s a power cut the landlines still work. I have probably only experienced an outage of POTS a couple of times in my life.
In most cases, evolution is going to win out over gene drives. They will be disabled, selected against, dropped out and worked around. Finding a gene drive that would truly wipe out a population is similar to finding a virus that would do the same. This appears to be very low. The population sizes of insects like anopheles mosquitoes mean that there will be ample chance for the species to find a way around the gene drive. The rate of evolution is proportional to population size and the selective coefficient, which are both huge in this case.

Every time discussion about H-1B comes up here, many people chime in on the potential abuses from large international outsourcers like Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, IBM, Accenture etc. But IME, the most egregious abuses come from small American staffing companies as those run by the accused here. The absolute number of H-1B applications they file and get are smaller, but they occupy the long tail of the distribution. Also, the same fraudulent operators run multiple such companies. The accused in this case - Kishore Kumar Kavuru - ran four such companies. In the other case mentioned in the article the accused - Pradyumna Kumar Samal - two such companies.

I hope these two cases don't go the way of the one against Raju Kosuri. Kosuri, a naturalized American citizen, plead guilty [1] to serious charges of immigration fraud. But due to some technicality in the prosecution's case, Kosuri was handed down a mere 28 months to serve, and is scheduled to be deported to India [2].

Off-topic question: India does not accept dual citizenship. So when the Kosuris became naturalized citizens, they must have given up their India citizenship. Given that, why should India accept them back after they were deemed criminals in their adopted country? What is the legality around revoking naturalized US citizenship?

If no, why are those countries deemed unstable that only America can fix them?

If yes, why should other countries "invade" America to bring stability?

Why should America be the decider of other countries stability?

The obvious solution (making h1b non-transferable across employers again, without even the 30 day window) probably causes more harm than benefit here.

I assume someone could abusively misuse h1b in the traditional Wipro/Infosys way anyway, by doing staffing companies. His fraud was just more capital efficient but not that fundamentally different.

It is probably unpopular, but I think h1b should be ended. Genuine short term needs should be covered through something like L1, and aside from specific categories of non-immigrant visa like medical or educational, we should just expand immigrant visas on a Canadian/NZ style merit/points system. This would be less discriminatory against people from big countries (China and India specifically), avoid some of the abuse possibilities, and be better for employees/immigrants and their families. The only losers would be body shops and large employers who benefit today from a limited form of indenture.
