You guessed it–the last step, described in Part 7 of my GraphQL series, is to subscribe to events in our React client.

Thanks to the GraphQL and Apollo GraphQL teams for creating this awesome platform! I hope this series helps you apply GraphQL in real projects.

If you found the series helpful, please share it with your fellow developers. Until then, happy computing!

This is great, I'm very tempted! When I was looking at note apps (and as I continue to re-evaluate my decision), the big win that keeps me on Standard Notes is the longevity and encryption, but the editor interface isn't anything special and sometimes I really miss OneNote/Evernote. Have you heard of Standard Notes, and would you ever consider making Notable support being a client for Standard Notes[1]?

It's wrong because of where the "Subsystem" is, and because you start parsing the sentence with that word.

OK, it's a "Subsystem", which is a subset of a system. What kind of subsystem? A Windows subsystem! This part of the system does Windows... and you're already wrong. The Windows part isn't what the subsystem does, it's what the subsystem is a subset of. The subsystem does Linux and it's part of Windows. Saying it's a Windows Subsystem for Linux implies it's something like WINE, only moved into the kernel, if you're old enough to remember the "personalities" concept.
>Teachers in this country are compensated extremely poorly,

I disagree. Average teacher salary here in Indiana is $54,308 (after 'falling', even the really underfunded public grade schools in the inner city here in Indy look like they're paying around 41k) according to https://www.nwitimes.com/news/education/teacher-pay-in-india...

That figure above doesn't include benefits like pensions either. State minimum wage is $7.25, the median household income is $45,943. Teachers are handsomely paid.

A lot of people are quick to say "but teachers work evenings and weekends for free" yes they do, and they also have 2 months off in the summer which likely equals them out to 2080 hours a year (sans vacation time) if not under 2080 hours a year.

As far as subbing, my lifting coach makes makes 30-40$ subbing for a few hours a day between times he has the training facility open. Someone subbing all day makes 60-100$ a day for essentially babysitting. Yeah, it's not full-time delivery driver money but it would have given him plenty of free time to continue to pursue writing freelance, or work on more books, I think the real reason for the working full-time though was so he could take out another home loan, as he needed enough documented income to justify the bank loaning it.

As I wrote near the top of my comment, I already laugh at myself for falsely predicting AlphaGo/AlphaZero dominance by a decade, give or take. But the leap from where we are now to AGI is several orders of magnitude more complicated, at least, than the leap from Chess to Go.
I really like the concept of Julia. High performance numerical software that is almost as easy to write as Python with a full REPL, LLVM speed, I can view the code as Assembly or S-expressions, and even wrote macros. In practice, I've had enormous problems with libraries on Windows. The package manager seems to always fail. I've figured out how to get passed some issues, but not all. I'm glad to see they're getting recognition though as it is neat and will only get better.

You don’t need package management dependency hell just like you don’t need frameworks. This pain is self imposed due to a desire of perceived convenience or the lack of competence to see otherwise.

When your total dependency graph is less than 8 packages you can easily manage this manually. This especially true since there are bots that can automatically check for version updates.

Why not just use a proper hypervisor? Emulation is fragile, imperfect and not a good use of time.
I do believe it is extraordinarily likely that the Bible describes a legendary account about real events or people (and their beliefs) from time to time.

With respect to resurrection there is no end of depth to be extracted from the theme. As a general summary, Christianity introduced the notion to the world that one could even be redeemed at all. When someone returns from the pit of nihilism and jealousy and transforms themselves into a person that faces the world forthrightly, you bet your ass I believe in Resurrection of the Dead. Not the least of which because aforementioned nihilism is a key source of suicide and violent crime. But even metaphorically, there is no life in the pit of nihilism, of hell. When people describe hell as maximal distance from God, what they are saying is true.
As an Android user, I'm kind of shocked that the iPhone doesn't do this, and I'll say that the banner UI is decently better. Though I'm not going to lie, I still think we can do better, and I wouldn't doubt that Apple would just opt for the next generation UI instead of following Android's suit.

Sometimes I wonder what subtle differences there are between the two ecosystems, as I've never really gotten into Apple products before, with the exception of a few earlier iPods. Does anyone have confirmed differences that the other side might not understand?

You're right that it would make more sense if the route had to go through the midpoint of Antarctica (defined as the point that is farthest from any coast) rather than to the south pole. That remains un-done. For now, the "through the south pole" route is the longest trek that's been completed.

> If you think what we have done and are doing isn't subjugation, then we have read different histories and different news. Millions of people were killed for us to develop our "strong presence" in these regions. It's called empire building and empire growing.

And yet, the people on the receiving end of these wars generally have positive views of the US and close economic ties after a couple decades. The US's most destructive wars were against Germany and Japan, with are now close allies. An an interesting type of "Empire" where the subjects of the said empire have a positive view of their purported overlord. Or, maybe, the US's coalition of allies isn't an "empire".

> By many eastern european countries, you really mean one - poland.

And Ukraine. And the Baltic Countries. What Eastern European countries do want US presence to diminish? The only ones I can think of other than Russia are Belorussia and Moldova.

> For example, if I have high opinion of japan, germany and new zealand, it doesn't mean I want them to militarily and political dominate the US. Certainly I wouldn't want their troops stationed here.

Well, I've got bad news for you: Foreign troops from said countries (at least Germany) are regularly based in US to train and practice cooperation.

> Also, there are protests against US military presence in all these regions as well, but I guess we can ignore those.

People also protest when military bases are closed. In fact, the current plan to withdraw troops from Syria is being criticized significantly.

> I guess our difference ultimately boils down to our view of empire. I don't think they are ever a good thing and they certainly don't exist to serve the subjugated.

Again, if the US's sphere of influence is an "Empire" it's one that that most of the subjects seem to be happy to be a part of. In fact, plenty of countries have voluntarily joined this group on their own accord. Spain, Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, and Romania all joined NATO on their own accord. In fact, these countries had to apply to join NATO. Strange form of "Empire" where countries apply to become a part of it.

The key difference being they were usually banning accounts, not people. Many platforms are now linked to a real world identity, which I guess is unavoidable if you want to monetize your persona/face on YouTube/Facebook/Patreon, but it leaves less room for working around the system by making a new account.

Yup, I’ve read those and that’s what I based my statement on. Apple doesn’t seem to have rewritten any code in Swift “just for the sake of it”; they have slowly introduced it the in places they could to add new features.
What do you mean by "longevity"? Notes in Notable are plain markdown files, that's about as portable and long-lasting as it gets.

There's no encryption by default, but you could put your notes into an encrypted image, read more about this here [1]

I had never heard of Standard Notes, fortunately now I can say I have my note-taking needs covered so I've no interested whatsoever of making Notable a front-end for a third-party service. Perhaps we could add support for importing notes from Standard Notes though, if somebody wants to work on that.

Due to the way the engines are mounted on the frame, which enhances their efficiency, they also cause more of a "upward thrust vector." This makes it very easy for this plane to reach dangerously high AOA in certain scenarios, particularly during turns.

The MCAS has a specific and important function and just turning it off is probably not going to increase safety. The real problem was the Boeing did not disclose the existence of this device and it's functions in aircraft training, according to one source, because they did not want to inundate new pilots with too much information about the plane and it's attendant safety systems.

Perhaps, had the pilots known, they would have seen the stick shaker/stall warning system activating on _one side only_ as a serious indication of an Airspeed/AOA system fault and the potential for incorrect MCAS outputs being generated.

They might have known to disable the electronic trim control, bypassing the MCAS, and then to manually fly and trim the plane with the aforementioned thrust vectoring taken into consideration. They could have trained for this. That would have all given them the best safety margin for survival here.
I would default to rasicm first, since using race as a proxy is still racist.
Ah, this is quite good as well: https://leehamnews.com/2018/11/14/boeings-automatic-trim-for...

Apparently it wasn’t the standard autopilot trim, but a special safety program specific to the 737 MAX. Which still is just a switch to disable, if you know that switch is there, or that there is a checklist for dealing with runaway trim, or that you’re aware that auto-trim commands are the reason your plane keeps nosing down...

Right, this is all a fight against despotism. Which is why the US helped Kai-Shek in Taiwan, propped up Rhee for South Korea, and included Turkey and Portugal as founders of NATO.

Serious lack of redundancy in a life-safety critical-system. It should have:

- 5+ AOA sensors of different types

- discard any sensor values that are stuck or providing incorrect readings

- have a spray, heating system (some do) and camera system for automatically deicing and verifying AOA sensors in-flight

Without a camera system to verify sensors, crews won't have a definitive way to know if they're getting true or false information from clogged pitot, stuck AOA or malfunction.

By longevity I mean a hosted service with the intention of being around for a really long time. Of course plain text (and therefore Markdown) are the pinnacle but I'm very interested in supporting a service that aims to live for a hundred years, thus Standard Notes.

I commented mainly because Notable as a front-end for Standard Notes seems like the perfect solution for me but I understand that this is already your perfect solution. I might have to try the integration myself. Thanks again for your awesome work!

I feel like going to the south pole is part of the overall goal. Also this particular flavor of accomplishment has never been done before, and I imagine they're less concerned about time, thus being less concerned about crossing the exact shortest distance. At the same time, I would bet there are already per-established base stations at the start and finish locations. Just a hunch though.
Show HN: QuadTree model for generating random road networks
There's absolutely no doubt that between the two options of "facial features are assigned at absolute random, but white male racists control the world" and "facial features are determined by developmental processes that also impact behavior," the former is closer to what is typically believed. However what distinguishes science (ideally) from online comments is that every reasonable hypotheses is supposed to be addressed, including the ones we all agree are pretty far from the present consensus. The accusation that hypothesis are pre-selected based on what is already believed is presently the most dangerous weapon used against the social relevance of the soft sciences, so in today's climate it is especially important to not actually do it.
> AlphaZero used quite a lot of processing power

It ran on a single machine with four TPUs. In a few years with a few more optimizations, I can imagine an equal strength implementation on a handheld chess computer.

If you're talking about training hardware, the correct comparison is against the processing time used by all serious human chess players through history because an apples to apples comparison would have both training from scratch (just the rules).

I think the interesting part is that any extreme scenario requires very specific and likely innovative solutions — its a difficult optimization problem that any engineer would recognize as strangely santisfying.

I think that's pretty terrible advice for something that affects memory safety, and it invalidates your entire "the compiler will warn you" argument. There's a reason Rust has ownership and lifetime annotations: there are many things that a compiler simply cannot infer.

> Do people still regularly try to ship common platform code as a shared C++ library to minimise unique code bases for their mobile apps?

I think Microsoft Office does this too, and I’m pretty pleased with the results, performance and UI wise. In my opinion, this is probably the best way to actually do decent cross-platform development. One of the projects that I am tangentially involved in is doing this, but swapping out C++ with Rust.

> I recall reading years ago Dropbox trying this

Last I heard, Dropbox has moved towards using Python for everything, which gives them kinda horrible performance IMO.

> I can see why it might potentially be attractive in purely architectural terms, but I wonder if the “savings” meaningfully materialise in practice when so little pure native development occurs in C++ on iOS and Android.

Generally, all the cross-platform, UI independent bits go into the framework, and then you write a thin UI layer on top of it using your platform’s native UI APIs. The benefit of using C++ is that you can call it easily from most languages.

> Regardless, there’s still a complexity cost - unique native platform UI code is still unique native code, plus all the localisation, QA testing, etc, etc fun that will entail for an app the size of Slack.

Ok, sure, but most of this work has already been done for their iOS app. I’m making a shot in the dark here, but I’d think that given access to their iOS project I could whip up something passable within a couple of months, if not less.
