Seeing as the article under discussion is all about GraphQL, maybe the top-level comment was off-topic?

Another thing to consider though, and something I've done in the past, is that you can actually embed the GraphQL resolver runtime completely on the client and easily adapt REST endpoints to it. It's pretty neat! So you can use all the benefits of Apollo without actually having a server that speaks GraphQL.

This Apollo project is one such way to do that: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-link-rest (although not the strategy I used... I don't think Apollo even existed yet at the time)
I can't read the full article but it the preview seems oddly mixed in whether its talking about how there are fire hazards vs. how they're a successful business model.

Either way, I enjoy them. I do, however, think the business model could be a lot more scalable. Content providers should seek to either use the same space for multiple games, or use the same game across multiple scenarios.

This would be a great use case for current-tech level VR I think. Plop people into a correctly scaled virtual escape room in and bam, you can provide and deploy new content at the rate you can design it (perhaps physical locations not even needed).

Alternatively, build a spaceship, or a dungeon, or something else that can be generalized to different levels in the same basic space.

To anyone in the boston area, or, I suppose, Sweden, check out Boda Borg for what I think is a more entertaining take on them involving physical challenges, really abstract puzzles, and rapid feedback of try-fail-repeat.
The more general problem is that the Go implementation depends on its own runtime library and is not particularly suited for linking into other executables or running in unusual contexts, e.g. without threads or without an OS.
Empathy is the process of correctly evaluating another's motives and internal state. While it's frequently assumed, it doesn't follow that one must necessarily feel sympathy for them.

You need empathy to outwit an opponent, for example.
For truly early companies I would recommend getting a 409a valuation. This value will be extremely low and have the employees buy the stock outright(or with a note from the company) and have an expiring repurchase agreement for the vesting part.

The fact that you are doing $30m in rev is a big hurdle to gettin a low valuation.

What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to transfer value to the few people that helped you get to $30m in rev or are you looking to incentivize current employees going forward?
It'd be very easy to test your assertion that the rabbits only eat meat because they are starving. Offer ten well fed rabbits meat, if they eat it then your assertion is false. Better yet, offer them the meat and their regular vegetarian food at the same time and see which one they prefer. My gut feeling is that more often then not they would try the meat.

> Modern Healthcare decided to see how long it would take to present the data in a more consumer-friendly format. It took less than two hours

Having been through several hundred thousand dollars of chargemaster charges with one of the hospitals on this list I can confidently say this info is not consumer-friendly at all.

First of all, did anyone look at the damn PDFs? Do you have any idea what a "HCHG SP EVAL MTN FLUOR SWAL 75" is or a "HCHG XR RIBS BILAT W PA CXR"? Does this really equip the typical healthcare consumer with the ability to "shop 'n save"? No. They are going to ask their health insurance provider if the hospital is in network, and the health insurance bureaucracy has the experts who pour through and negotiate all this crap.

Second, even if you had about a year of your life to educate yourself about the hundreds of myriad codes like this that are involved in various procedures and take it upon yourself to compare hospitals, this would be like comparing hotels based on their rack rate. You might get a sense for things but nobody pays that. Everything is negotiated down. Even for the uninsured who usually either get a 50%+ discount or pay whatever they can pay and kill their credit or go bankrupt. Which is not to imply in any way this is affordable for anyone, just that chargemasters aren't a super useful way to compare pricing even if you could figure it out.

Third, it's a free market fantasy that more "consumer" info will fix this system. Many patients are not in a position to comparison shop anyway. It is the epitome of a market failure.

If you want to fix this system we need Medicare For All.

Precisely. The exact code is here:

The first bit is for browsers with javascript, but where the network is poor and can't load the minimal required highly cacheable javascript file within 8 seconds. It uses CSS just in case javascript really isn't working anyway such as being disabled per domain or something. The second bit is for browsers without javascript - the page is unblocked immediately.

Nobody should ever use godaddy for a domain registrar or hosting services. Ever inherited a domain that was with them, and had to renew it? The sheer amount of unsolicited add-on offers you have to reject before successfully completing a payment for domain renewal is ridiculous.

There's a reason why companies like namecheap which market themselves on "no bullshit" registrar services are popular these days.
I'm the founder and built the SDK.

Agreed, ASAN and Valgrind cover the most memory errors and are readily available for almost all platforms.

The SDK is designed for a different purpose -- to catch all runtime memory issues with a very high probability. The generated executables can be deployed and used by the end users who don't want to upgrade just for the fixes of memory errors. There are many cases the memory errors are never exploited. By using the pre-built QMS executables, you know when you are exploited, and the exploit will be stopped by the runtime checking.

I had one of those too. I don't think "stable" is really the right description, though - it generally wobbled all over the place. It didn't just shoot off straight away though so there's definitely some kind of attractor stuff going on.

Edit: Although reading the wiki link, it sounds more like the instability was just due to it requiring a very specific speed.
How to stop it: Use a different hosting service.
pretty much pure evil. But hey its GoDaddy right?

There are at least three places where you can get injected, one is from the ISP (including phone company networks), one is from the hosting provider, and one is from add-ons in the browser.

One of the first Java applets I wrote (and you could easily do this in js) did a hash over the document page and reported if the hash didn't match the one stored in the applet. These days you could throw up an other wise invisible div that said "Page Tampered" please report to webmaster (or you could even do that yourself with a lookup on your hosted side to a script that would log IP/browser etc.
No, it's not normal. But being able to get a discount if you are uninsured is normal.

I've wondered whether the facility is particularly generous or whether it just starts with insanely high list prices. Now I guess I can find out. :)

But I still won't know what the final bill would be for the same procedure at a different hospital.

So when a company says that it’s safe does this include testing for all of these cases? While I haven’t had retinal detachment surgery, I’ve had lasik done. I’m sure, being a common procedure, that it’s considered in whatever battery of tests are performed. But what of these other procedures?

Honestly I fail to see their appeal. I did one and it was so boring. I think the main “appeal” is that it locks you in a room where everyone is forced to actually interact and not just stare at their phones. It seems to be mostly used for corporate outings or clubs, where people aren’t quite comfortable with each other yet. I’m thinking it would also be good for group dates. But for with your real friends with whom you can do other activities or even just have a good convo? It just seems a “forced creative experience”. The only reason the industry is “booming” is because it was non existent before and filled these specific niches. It will oversaturate very quickly.

> What would be the drawback of simply creating a global fund for actual human cleanup at scale? With some set incentivizing price for retrieval, say $0.01 per gram?

I'm imagining huge machines trawling the landscape, chewing up beaches and scouring forest floors, controlled by bots that automatically guide them to the nearest plastic recycling depot where they disgorge their contents and then move on. They'll be powered by burning plastic and will thus be self-sufficient, albeit enveloped in toxic clouds of pollution. Occasionally one will lose Internet connectivity and rampage through a small village in the developing country in which it operates (deployment in Western countries will be prohibited), obliterating shanties and the occasional elderly person, baby, or otherwise slow-moving human being.

That's... very weird. It would seem OK if they were providing a CMS, but injecting when the person is already using their own code, so is likely to figure out what is going on, just doesn't make sense. Not sure how this seems worth it for GoDaddy.
Totally agree. It’s great that the Linux desktop experience has come as far as it has, but it still suffers from compromises as a result of being general purpose at best and server oriented at worst. Haiku can make technical decisions that make sense for a desktop OS without also negatively impacting other uses.

The worst situation is to have high deductible insurance. Then you have to pay the prices the insurance negotiates out of pocket (at least if you want the costs to apply against that high deductible).

If you don't have insurance the hospital will take what they can get.
Their marketing is effective at convincing small business owners they're one of the best choices for hosting. That's pretty much the whole reason they're so successful.
>I'd love to return the glass to the brewery for cleaning and reuse

This is one of the few cases where glass "recycling" makes sense. Unfortunately, glass is stupid cheap in terms of base material and production process so the only way to make recycling glass products worthwhile is to put the used product right back into service in its whole form (after cleaning of course). I'll try to find the study I'm thinking of but from what I recall, glass recycling isn't just uneconomical to recycle, it often winds up requiring more energy to recycle than it does to obtain the base materials and create a new container. Contamination knocks down the efficiency and the logistics of collecting and sorting glass are far less efficient than the bulk mining and transport of silica into a centralized production plant.

A possible solution to this, IMO, is to force bottling operations to standardize on a handful of containers in different sizes, colors/opaqueness, and closure type. This could also work hand in hand with a ban on plastic bottles for common products like juice, soda, etc. Marketing departments would hate it but the centralized redistribution of reusable containers that are useful to every bottling operation would finally make glass recycling a rational concept.
Automation Will Change the Service Industry
I've been buying exclusively from Domai.nr for the last five years now, and I only ever login to buy a new one, or change payment details--which ends up with me rarely having to login. Years ago when I was with GoDaddy and starting my time on the web, it was daily, I knew some of their support people by voice.

As far as "no bullshit" registrars, Domai.nr has been short of incredible.

Thought I'd share the option if anyone is looking to migrate and at least wants options on the table to think about, along with namecheap.
Who ever thought a registrar would be more awful than circa-1999 NetSol?

Namecheap has been great, I've also had good luck with Gandi.
It’s not really AMP that delivers speed improvements that made everyone go WOW back when it started. It was the Google would prefetch AMP pages in search results.

In many cases AMP is neglibly faster than mobile web page and sometimes slower.
It's actually neither. :)

We have a shared development environment with a persistent (and thus deterministic) dataset. So when one developer runs a query against that dataset, another developer could run the same query and get the same result.

The best thing about this, of course, is that if your Storybook data looks at listing 112358, you can also open that same listing in development and see the same result in the product. Very powerful.
I thought that would be good enough, I went with WebFaction. But it seems they recently merged with GoDaddy, so even though I explicitly avoided them it turned out I didn't.

Who's a good alternative these days?
I remember when I first bought a domain from them. I guess I fell for the marketing witchcraft, they advertised the domain for a lower price than what I ultimately paid, once I heard about Namecheap I went there and never looked back. My other problem was that their domain management interface was soooo slooooow, it got to me. This was in about 2008, but I rather not fall for their overpriced domains.

Edit: My other pet peeve was that they supported SOPA when that whole mess was ongoing. I can't trust them at all since.
Gandi is my go to alternative.

I guess you ask how this dynamic type system works. It basically gives each valid pointer a type, which includes the size information and liveness information of memory pointed by the pointer. When a pointer is dereferenced, the runtime checking will verify whether the dereference is valid. Null (and uninitialized) pointer does not have a type.

It uses a completely different mechanism from the one used by ASAN and Valgrind.

Edit: delete a wrong answer.

Do you really think that websites can “just minimize JS usage” without consequences?

For example, AMP provides an ad component that is probably the by far most performant way to display ads on the web. Without AMP, the site has to use alternative ad solutions, which probably perform worse and load more JS.

The only way for the site to reduce JS would be to find an ad solution that is similar to AMP in terms of performance, and I fear such a solution just doesn’t exist.
