I tried with a React Native project, so I only used the VM for the builds; yes it's shit. I mean, the whole iOS build process is painful enough. And I never got the VM to work on more than 1024x768.
We use Apollo heavily within our iOS app. These peeps build really awesome tooling.

Despite that, I wish more time were invested in the OSS native apollo libraries (iOS, Android). There still isn't a way to do cache invalidations, and both libraries (perhaps understandably so) are well behind apollo-js in features. I would build something myself as a PR (and perhaps this is a problem with most GitHub projects), but non-trivial PRs seem to be left sitting for months or never touched at all by maintainers.

I bet the Apollo folks are just focusing their efforts where interest lies, but there really isn't a great, fully-featured OSS graphql client for mobile right now. React Native + apollo-js does not count to me: I have never used a React Native app I've felt acceptable on Android, and have only found marginally acceptable iOS apps in the wild.
From what I understand CSS frameworks used to make web dev more bareable because you could just use a simple class name and the framework would apply a load of hacks to get something sensible that works in all browsers.

Additionally, ALL marketing/landing pages should back up their claims with evidence. It doesn't have to be much, but there's definitely bonus points where a short motivation is provided with links to further reading.

It doesn't have to be hard evidence exactly, but if you're claiming that something is easy, fast, "modern", what makes it so?

I concede that you can get away with it to some extent by splicing in "intended to be" in the sentence, but it still places on the visitor the burden of figuring out the "why" behind the marketing.
Meteor has been a bit of an afterthought at MDG the past 2 years because of apollo. Currently only developed by 1 member of MDG. However it has opened more towards the community and aligned with the rest of the JS ecosystem. The awesome work of Benjamn has made it the best dev experience around IMO, but it seems to have lost a bit of momentum. I hope they could put some focus back on it with the money that Apollo brings, but that's probably naive. They have to answer to their investors...

5 Programming Languages Every Master Developer Should Learn
Puts all the "cryptocurrency is a scam/fraud" into perspective.
Not sure if I really believe this.

I'm someone who likes to pick up new skills for fun & fulfillment. And yet, when it to career success, roughly 80% of my net worth is attributable to two, maybe three skills: being really good at Javascript, and having solid CS fundamentals in data structures and algorithms. Together they got me into Google, where I picked up the third skill (knowing the full Search stack from the crawler to the browser), which made me very valuable to Google and got me a bunch of stock that's done quite well since.

Now, I also picked up a bunch of other skills while I was there: visual design, interaction design, product design, empathy, management & leadership, some machine-learning & data science, distributed systems, how to approach a vaguely-defined problem with no clear answer and make forward progress on it, how to balance lunch & a drink on your laptop and show up late to a meeting without spilling, etc. And I had some skills from before Google: investing (professional, not just personal; I worked for a company that wrote software for hedge funds for 18 months), game design, compiler design, Django, even some PHP from my college days. And I've learned even more since leaving Google: entrepreneurship, corporate structure, identifying markets, Android development, iOS development, watchOS development, blogging, YouTube video production, Photoshop, how cryptocurrencies work, a lot more unstructured data mining & data science, what risk actually means, etc.

But when it comes to cold, hard economic returns, nothing seems to beat identifying an in-demand skill, doubling down on it until you're noticeably better than the vast majority of people a company will interview, and finding a wealthy buyer who will pay you for it. (On a corporate level, this translates to finding a growing and potentially large market, doubling down on it until you're noticeably better than every other company in that market, and finding a wealthy buyer who will pay you for it.) I kinda wish it wasn't so, because I really enjoy the learning-new-things part of life, and I enjoy learning hot new technologies or algorithms more than obscure proprietary frameworks in a megacorp. But people pay you for the portion of your skillset that is relevant to the problem they want solved, not the portion that is personally fulfilling.
Thanks for you kind words and support. I'm sorry you have to share this experience too.
I know there are many people suffering all sorts of ailments, many much much worse than AS which I remind myself of when I'm down. That said I don't need to tell you how frustrating this can be. The hope of a cure sustains my generally positive outlook on life. I hope for all of us that we make massive leaps in understanding our immune system and genetic makeup better in the coming years.

I have been following all the research and advice you mention. I'm absolutely positive that we are only scratching the surface (Dr Ebringer etc). It seems that the link between klebsiella and AS may be on the right path but not a totally accurate diagnosis. Based on sequencing my own biome (i used Viome) and some reading I have done it is more probable that there are a whole host of bacteria that interplay to create an inflammatory reaction. I'm almost certain based on some papers I've read that there is also a corruption in the stem cells that create the immune system white blood cells themselves which would render autologous transfusions useless. This is both exciting and daunting considering the risks of side effects like graft-versus-host disease which sounds truly terrifying. This is why I'm so apprehensive to go for experimental treatment. Life can suck during a flare-up (which I've managed to dampen with diet) but overall it could definitely get and stay worse. Hearing anecdotal evidence of people essentially being in full remission on the other hand has piqued my interest. It truly is a catch-22.

I would be curious to hear more about your thoughts on AS.
This works for a small / medium size company but certainly does not scale for bigger companies. There are several problems that you gonna run at scale.
Those were two separate points, I should have used a linebreak there in retrospect.

My point was that if you look at the changes and new features, all of it seems to me as stuff that improves core functionality, there's no feature creep.

At the bottom of that link[1] you can find instructions on how to send notifications directly from your server, but it involves recompiling the apps (which is hardly Zulip's fault).

What confuses me the most is that with all these issues (LIBOR, FX, australia etc) there is no open independent exchange used - ala a stock exchange. Instead there are various OTC (read private/not public retail) - with weird discovery mechanisms like ringing people and asking what rate would you lend me million quid at (Yes Libor was a series of phone calls!!!)

I cannot prove it (would be interesting) but most financial scandals - and probably most risk - would vanish if most trading was open independent exchanges - am I missing something?

> Hitting the kid is simply a way to translate these long-term consequences into short-term ones that can be more easily felt. It's simply the equivalent to celebrating milestones in a long project, translating long-term benefits into short-term ones that can be easily felt. Why is the former vilified, while the later touted as good practice?

Cause kids ain't that dumb and fully know it is you and not the abstract consequences hitting them. It is you and with goal of not being hit, faking signature works equally good or better. Same with milestone celebration, but people on project like free food and fun, so they will not complain and toute it as good practice. Milestone celebration makes people feel good in short term and does not matter in long term.

More importantly, spanking does not solve whatever reason for whatever caused that bad work ethics. It may be inability to control impulse, it may be an expression of anger, it may be bad organizational skill, short attention span, million other reasons and spanking does not address any of them. It does not address issue and does not make the kid to build good habits and routines, it makes them feel pain if they dont figure it out by themselves. And many kids don't figure it out by themselves.
This looks really interesting. (And in case anyone from the Apollo team is reading - just want to say I'm a huge fan of the product in general. Keep up the great work!)

The one thing that seems like a bit of a tough sell with this announcement is it looks like a lot of these integrations are pretty deeply intertwined with different parts of the framework and might not be easy to set up if you're using just the Apollo client and not the server. Just browsing quickly I see that some of the components require some workarounds and proxies and such with other backends. The post talks about making it easy to incrementally add graphql to existing apps, but for any apps built in languages other than NodeJS I'd worry that it might not be a first-class experience to use the entire platform.

I'll definitely have to look through the docs more thoroughly though, there's a lot here.
Sounds almost unbelievable. I can't VNC into my Mac on my LAN without considerable lag. How are you doing that with 4k?
> I think the only way to judge a language is to use it full time for at least one year, but even then you will probably just have scratched the surface.

In theory, that sounds nice. Have you spent a year on Rust, Go, Elm, and Crystal? If not, then what if one of them is the perfect language for that problem you're trying to solve? How can you make the right judgment call when starting a project if you haven't spent a year using each of these and more?

In reality, that's a completely absurd approach for the first-level approximation people need/want when they discover a new language... surely you realize this. People need to be able to see the big picture before they'll know whether they want to dive into the details.

There are literally thousands of programming languages. Many are created each year. How can anyone afford to spend a year, full-time, on each language to discover the truth of each language? They can't.

So I agree with dotdi:

> Unfortunately, the documentation, FAQ and User Guide all failed in succinctly giving me the information I need: what can it do well, what does a known snippet look like implemented in <Lang>, how does it compare to other languages, etc.
I just don't see how that's categorically different from COINTELPRO (which murdered people with impunity), ECHELON, etc. Even the FISA courts were established 23 years before 2001, and in 2017 there were actually fewer FISA warrant requests approved than in 2000. Who got busted for this stuff before 2001?
Thanks. I find it curious as Neil Riordan from the Stem Cell Clinic in Panama says the exact opposite (I think in this video but I haven't had time to find it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLKOddCPs9I). I can't make up my mind if he's a huckster or not. Based on my investigation through my network (3 degrees of separation) he seems to be legit but of course that is difficult to confirm.

Are there studies to show that spanking is effective in that goal? If there is not convincing evidence that spanked children do better in school, then anything can be equally ineffective.

E.g. your question assumes that spanking is effective in making the kid well organized and well focused, but what if that simply does not happen?

Open independent exchanges can be and are being rigged and abused too.
I have this problem too. I used to bookmark, but nothing really ever triggered me to go back through and read them. So I started leaving tabs open on my phone to read on the bus, but eventually started closing them when I realised they'd been sitting there unread for a week. Finally I built a tool for myself [0] that takes the URL and your email address, runs the page through Mozilla's reader-mode and emails the result to you in 15 minute (3000 word) snippets - which I've found to be a manageable sized piece for a bus trip.

I've seen an argument tangential to this advanced as an explanation for why spanking is more accepted in some minority groups: the consequences of not eradicating certain bad behaviours early (disrespecting authority, not following instructions, not working hard) can be particularly dire for certain demographic groups (e.g. black men, immigrants trying to gain a foothold) and parents need to use every tool in their arsenal to mold their child's adult impulses. Relying on time-outs or conditioning children to expect to be allowed to argue with authority is seen as the privilege of those who can be expected to be given the benefit of the doubt later.

I'm not convinced of the efficacy of spanking for this purpose, but I can understand the impulse described here (though I doubt that this impulse motivates most spankings, which seem to be carried out in anger).
Back in the 80’s, before there was Iridium satellite, my uncle would use HAM radio to keep in touch with us while sailing his boat between Hawaii and California.

Even though my household weren’t HAM’s at the time, he’d “call” us every few days through a “phone patch” to give status updates in the middle of the Pacific.

Basically, he’d make connections to various HAM’s somewhere, trying to find someone who could do a “phone patch”. That person would then connect the audio to their phone, call my house collect, and we could have a two-way conversation. Pretty cool stuff.

Back in the 90’s when I had my license I thought packet radio was cool as hell. Checking your email in the middle of a field? Amazing. Of course that’s all obsolete now.

And then just for the ultimate geek factor. You know what the very first communication satellite was, right? The moon! HAM’s still do “moonbounce” communications to talk to people on the opposite side of the planet by bouncing signals off the moon. Requires very directional antennae, and brings with it the ultimate latency. But that’s some serious geek cred there.

Kids do this because that's their job. They're children. They often learn about the world by pushing up against boundaries.

I was hit pretty severely by my parents. It didn't teach me any moral lessons. There's no way it would teach any child decent values, all they'll learn from it is (a) might makes right and (b) don't get caught.

I cannot conceive of and have never heard a convincing argument for seriously hitting a child. They're smaller than you, defenseless, and we're talking about a behavior that you would, hopefully, never do to a stranger, your coworkers, your friends, your spouse, etc. Why do it to your child?

The only real reason that weirdly makes sense, but I completely disagree with, is you think your child is your property, so you get to hit it.

I learned Mercury from Ralph Becket's Mercury tutorial (which is the first link under the documentation section of the site). There are code examples throughout the book that show how the language can be used.

Mercury started out as a subset of Prolog, and is still very Prolog-like. The Mercury compiler is written in Mercury, and that's how it was originally bootstrapped. So anyone that knows Prolog should feel reasonably comfortable writing code in Mercury.

One major difference is the type system, which feels more like Haskell than Prolog (where everything is an atom). Another is the way it handles predicates/functions that can generate multiple outputs - there are no cuts (!), and if a predicate can generate multiple values then it should be declared as such. These type and mode declarations allow the compiler to generate much more efficient code than a Prolog interpreter.

This seems especially silly. There are almost limitless people who would like to get one of the FAANG co's on their CV.

Google or Netlix are hardly going to struggle to attract talent if they decide to open an office in some rural backwater.

Making information transparent is only one step. The next step is the simplification needed to make the system understandable by people who work all day long, have kids, entertainment, etc. All the administrative forms, the accounting rules, the history of debt of a country, the geopolitical situation are all difficult to fully grasp if you don't spend full time on it. How could anyone make "informed" decision ?

I agree the first step is to make the system more transparent, maybe it will surface the almost insane complexity to more people.

Also, more transparency, but not at the expense of sacrificing fairness and privacy
