Hi, I'd love to see an example for links that showcases how links could interact with React state/props.

For instance, in the 401 logout example (https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/advanced/network-la...), it imports a logout function from a separate module to call on 401, but I'd like to ideally have 401s trigger a change in some React state instead (possibly by passing through a state changing function as a prop to Apollo's Provider component?), and it's not entirely obvious to me from the docs how one would accomplish that.

The issue of falls is enough to put the death toll from solar above the death toll from nuclear. It's just the solar deaths are spread out thin enough they aren't even going to make the local news, the nuclear deaths are concentrated and make worldwide news. (And note that neither Three Mile Island nor Fukushima involved any nuclear deaths.)
Of all tax units filing income taxes, 76.4 million tax units pay no federal income taxes. That's 44.4% of all tax units.

That's approximately 44.4% of potential votes by people who likely choose politicians that are spending the money of those who do pay taxes. And of those that pay income taxes, a few pay the disproportionate share of those taxes.

So basically, many people who are tax filers but not tax payers are getting to choose who they vote for, but others are left shouldering all the tax responsibility for the bad policies of those politicians. These tax filers might be paying other taxes like state and local sales tax, but those taxes are pretty much all state and local and irrelevant when we are talking about federal loan programs.

When Android was started, no embedded system of any kind used glibc. It's now 2019 and still none do. It's not GPL avoidance, it's just glibc being (a) huge (pain) for all the wrong reasons.

In the Middle Age we needed to thumb through huge binders located in a room close to the mainframe. Tedious.

Then we could buy the books. We still needed to thumb through and it took time.

The the wastage of engineering hours was decreased by putting the writing to low level engineers. That was a good idea as it saved money.

That idea could be made even better by having documentation moved to another location by even lower paid staff. Great financial results!

In the meanwhile we got patterns and realized that all software is created the same. Documentation can be recycled and continuous releasing saves time for unneeded reviews.

Software and its documentation is really just assembling blocks. Learning from the leader in that space, Ikea's manuals yielded even greater results. And with additional ingenuity video was introduced. Saves trees, Ikea could learn from us.

These days one does not need to read much anymore, just google a video. And if a problem can't be solved, then agility comes to rescue. Lean development means problems are solved when needed and that is what agile users are for.
If that timber stays a wooden structure for several centuries, it would, for that time!

Maybe we should start to build more long-term things from timber, likely we would fire-proof them well. But steel, concrete, and plastics are still much easier to use for long-term structures like large buildings, bridges, roads, etc.

If it's used to produce paper, or wooden packaging, or for making chopsticks, etc, it would likely not. All these things are expendable, and most likely will end up either burned or rotted, releasing the carbon as CO2. Recycling helps this, of course.
Probably because of fake followers. You can buy a few hundred thousand at a time on fiverr. They no longer 'sell followers' probably due to fiverr ToS changes, but they will 'promote your account' which I'm sure is the same thing.

As a gag I once bought a million twitter followers for around $400. They decayed at about 5% per month until only a few thousand were left when I closed my twitter account.

Using the same cloud service for your backup as your production environment seems like a bad idea
Not even surprised by the way Digital Ocean have handled this. They pulled something similar on me back in 2014 at a previous company I used to work in. They essentially shut down my account and did not even let me get my backups out.

Strong anti-recommendation for this advice. The cost in dev time plus keeping things running is not worth it. This is a rare event. Just use a more well-established cloud service.

>I would agree, except the field of programming seems to have a very large number of pedants.

It's been a few years but at least when I worked as a NASA subcontractor those standards were (IMHO) to both ensure compliance to process and frankly spread around the blame if something failed despite compliance. Since none of us are writing code to fly on the Space Shuttle I'll agree with you most of the time pedantry for the sake of it is a waste of time. Still, if someone wants to be a pedant about writing code for an automated teller machine or a voting machine then I'd say it's time well spent.
See, you totally can run big stuff DO (or Vultr or whatever). It just takes 20 minutes on the phone to make sure they know they can be paid when the time comes.
True, but it isn’t hard to add S3 as an additional backup destination. Ideally if they had their infrastructure setup as code, it would have made recovery possible.
Hasura is fantastic. I am using it for several projects atm. Coming from Prisma it's refreshingly easy to use and well thought out. The security/ACL model is esp. nice and easy to grok.

The key in your sources is neuroscience. I can believe there is no impact of sex on those results, but there can be a number of different therapeutic areas where it does impact things.

Also, unless you have evidence that sex has no effect, as a scientist you'd want to be cautious and keep your variables to a minimum. Easiest way to do that is have all mice of the same sex.
This is really a failure of Congress. SCOTUS shouldn't even be in the business of forcing reinterpretations of these laws - Congress should realize it's being (mis/re)-interpreted and reactively clarify. That's how the system worked until we got a deadlocked legislature and it's how it works in other countries.
Industry groups in favorable contexts would say this is fine, then for the "didn't go far enough" part they just lobby some changes in definitions next year, another change in scope the year after that, etc. Pretty soon it's exactly what they wanted and nobody's the wiser.
The current level of donations is already over 5x what's needed to pay for the server expenses, and it can probably handle 100x the traffic.

"Sustainable" is a much easier goal than needing to be worth billions of dollars to make your investors happy.
Yes it is a meta quality, and that's why it's not irrelevant. For instance, when told something is "hard", you can calibrate yourself on what that means. You also get the correct sense of what's possible and what's not, in what amount of time. This helps a ton with planning and decision making.
Call me old-school, but from my perspective, if we are talking about actual evidence, you need exactly one piece of actual evidence, and a case is settled.

Maybe this is about hints, not evidence?
That was true a long time ago, but recently DO has also proven to be a professional cloud hosting provider in the same league. Frankly, I was expecting the same level of support/service as AWS from them.

BTW, I don't even see a downvote button around posts, there is only upvote button! Is it because I'm new here?
So will she have to get a real job now?
More than that; as someone else linked [1], if you're in a business employing at least 15 people (more than half the year), you are also required to have your site be accessible. You don't have to be serving as a public accommodation, for that.

I think that it's a rather large stretch to call wanting to avoid disruptions in a passive way like that "silencing dissent".
I've worked with AWS for years, first as a small insignificant customer and later as a large customer. Their support team was very fast in both cases.
DigitalOcean is established. They're newer than GCP and about the same age as Azure, and IIRC at one point were the second largest VPS provider, second only to AWS.

And unfortunately this stuff happens to your "established" examples as well. Here [1] is a particular example of Google shutting down an entire GCP account with no explanation. Some comments report the same on AWS as well. Ironically, people in that HN thread are actually suggesting Vultr (kinda like DO, but even smaller) as a good alternative.

Yes, I coasted through school until college. Never studied, never had to, even in the gifted, honors, and AP classes. I especially did well on tests. Graduated 3rd in my class, only .001 GPA points from 2nd, with a handful of 5s (and a couple 4s) on my AP tests. Had undiagnosed ADHD (inattentive type) the whole time. Always procrastinated heavily, usually wrote papers/did projects the night before they were due. The closest I got to "studying" was re-reading the chapter I was going to be tested on the morning before the test, and even that was only for social studies classes where you had to remember names and dates. I did not need to study at all for math, science, or English courses. I got very lucky with a handful of exceptional teachers in high school. Teachers that actually cared about me and my success. I wanted to do well in school, because I got praised for it - both by my mom and by teachers. I craved that praise like nothing else as a child so I always did just enough to make sure my grades stayed high.

Life fell apart in college. Huge class sizes with no personal connection to the teacher and being solely responsible for meeting deadlines and studying eventually ruined school for me. Your lecturer with over 3000 students doesn't give a shit about you or your performance in school. I lost the immediate feedback and praise that I used to get in grade/high school, and with it, my hyperfocus on doing well in school was gone.

I fell into a deep depression, took a year off, took anti-depressants, tried school again but still just couldn't make myself go to classes anymore. Dropped out. Spent a few years working a dead-end call center tech support job. Wound up getting into software anyway (my failed degree was going to be in CISE) and I do well enough for myself now (especially after getting an ADHD diagnosis and getting medicated for it), but college/young adulthood was a disaster for me. I also had to declare bankruptcy in my mid-twenties - another consequence of depression and undiagnosed ADHD. Impulse purchases and the guilt/shame/avoidance spiral turned my credit into a mess.

Most of my peers actually did far better than me (like, they actually finished their bachelors (some went as far as PhDs) and went on to good jobs in the fields they studied for), but I don't think any of them had ADHD. That was the other thing that kept me focused in high school. I was part of a decently sized group of "smart kids" - we would compete with each other on grades, and that competition helped keep me on track. Lost that in college too.

Basically, yeah, giftedness and ADHD are a terrible combo. With ADHD, you need a lot of structure and work ethic to succeed in life, but if you're smart enough, you don't have to develop any of those skills to excel in grade/high school. Then you hit adulthood and everything falls apart.
Slightly more OT: why is USB-C adoption so slow?

Sure, your non-Apple smartphone or tablet almost certainly uses it, and maybe your laptop, but anything else? Virtually any other random device that uses a small USB port is far more likely to be micro-B than it is to be C even though C has been common on smartphones for years.
I read 'Programmers At Work' early in my career. Gate's comment on a single bug indicating that there may be many has always stuck with me...

"Before I sit down to code something, most of the instructions have already run through my head. It’s not all laid out perfectly, and I do find myself making changes, but all the good ideas have occurred to me before I actually write the program. And if there is a bug in the thing, I feel pretty bad, because if there’s one bug, it says your mental simulation is imperfect. And once your mental simulation is imperfect, there might be thousands of bugs in the program. I really hate it when I watch some people program and I don’t see them thinking."
Hmm, I've done lots of stuff on OVH that other hosts consider abusive, with nary a word of complaint from OVH.
OVH seems to have this whole automation thing down cold, monitoring boxes for dying components and letting me run hog wild on their VMs without limit...

The one time I used their phone support, the guy I got was fairly helpful. They seem like a hands off company overall.
Don't a lot of IDEs offer this functionality?
I'm not totally sure what you're doing here, but I like it.
Dude has no disaster recovery plan, so he throws a public hissy fit like a spoiled child. Public shaming as a customer support proxy is shameful. It’s a form of manipulation.
It seems it is pretty much a one sided opinion against Qualcomm, without taking a look into actual details. I read the 233 page report, and I have to admit I am surprised at how some of the wordings and conclusion the judge came to be. ( And I was very surprised how Ars's Author read the report and did not question anything about it )

And in defence of Qualcomm, I would post a few links from people that had the same thought as I did. [1] Is the Qualcomm information, I think it provides a angle just how much Qualcomm has spent on R&D. While I don't normally consider Cnet as Quality source of news, Shara Tibken [2] has been following the Apple and Qualcomm Trial and has been in the court for every trial between the two, reporting on the "exact" wordings some of these people gave in court. There were lots of details, and Qualcomm clearly has some very decent explanation in every accusation against them. And somehow none of these made it into many other mainstream media.

Patrick Moorhead wrote about this [4][5] and I agree with him on every thing ( Apart from the US politics which I am not well versed in ). Things Such as the "common interest agreement” Apple has with the FTC, and Huawei's involvement. Along with completely ignoring the defendant's testimony. It really opens my eyes as to how US law system works compared to UK or Germany.

And I would just like to remind everyone, Hating Qualcomm, Qualcomm doing wrong, and Qualcomm is a monopoly are 3 different things.

I’m still surprised that I can’t donate my resources toward a distributed DB/web server for this kind of content. E.g. by subscribing, I automatically start serving content and/or augmenting other mirrors. As some channels I subscribe to become stale, I automatically start re-assigning my resources to keep it alive.

Basically a BitTorrent/Tor-like decentralized system for distribute DBs with a web front end.

The amount of server resources I consume from fora must be 1/10000th the excess CPU/HD/bandwidth capacity I have.

I’m sure some cryptocoin project is working on something like this.
Care to explain why ?
This is exactly why AWS has relatively low default account limits, and you have to open a support ticket to raise them. It's largely to prevent run-away costs from surprising the customer.
The problem is you seem to think the bigger incident is automatically worse.

Mr. Evil is sitting in a tower. He has two weapons, a rifle and a rocket launcher.

Scenario A: He rolls a d100. If it comes up 1 he picks up the rifle and shoots at the first person he sees. He's competent, his target dies.

Scenario B: He rolls two d100s. If both come up 1 he picks up the rocket launcher and fires at the first group of people he sees. The shrapnel from the rocket will kill 10 people.

You live in the city he's in. Do you want him to roll one die or two?
What does it say on the wall?
If you're a backend dev that makes APIs, you probably won't like GraphQL (I am not one of those, BTW). If you have a big project with a team split into API devs and app devs, and you have to wait, then that is poor planing. Plus, just wait, jeez. Don't blame the separation of the work into roles for your problems, it is usually good, and often necessary. Then again, if you're full-stack developer, you can just go fix the endpoint yourself.

I know the argument about over-fetching with an API is that you have to make one call, than loop through and make secondary calls, but you can mitigate that, it is rare, and is actually fine. Ad-hoc data modeling encourages over-fetching in it's own way. You always make in-situ calls for exactly the model shape you need right there. "That model is not quite the shape I want, I will do another query." Plus, with pre-defined data models you can save them, in like a state object, they are more reusable. You can even use them in a totally different program.
Slightly confusing how although the article's opening paragraph currently says "...an explicit order" from the state education department, it goes on to quote it later where it can be seen to be just a recommendation.
are the claims that dark mode makes you "slower" and "stupider" founded?
Many US taxpayers aren't this stupid. The problem is that they need to contend with the votes of people who may or may not file taxes but still vote.
You are mistaking the inhabitants for the city balance sheet. The inhabitants might be rich, but that doesn't mean the city government has the resources.
Who is good about not locking accounts or taking similar actions? Apple and Google are both notorious for blocking things for no reason, is AWS or Azure any better?

That said, any company, especially one working with Fortune 500's, should have DB backups in at least two places. If they'd had the data, they could have spun up their service on a different hosting provider relatively easily.

They locked my account, without refunding the ~$200 balance, with no reason given except "We reviewed the account and found it matches unusual patterns associated with violations of our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy." When asked, they would not reveal which terms were violated.

No warning was given, and no way to retrieve any data. Fortunately nothing essential was lost.
I can understand why a cloud platform would proactively disable workloads that appear to be acting dangerously. At the same time it seems quite unreasonable that there's no mechanism for a customer to get their data back when their account is unilaterally shut down.
PEX - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linked_polyethylene. It's well-established technology for indoor plumbing. It's not as flexible as a garden hose, but it is suitable for potable water. It's primary drawback is UV breakdown -- you can't use it where the sun will see it.
I wasn't responsible for the data intake, but I know that the data was extensive, and always included time on page, full URL, other request information (often post stuff).

I know that HTTPS provided a technical hurdle that our company and data providers worked around after about 6 months.

My guess is that some MITM-type collection? Some data providers gave us IPs and some just gave us some Tokenized ID. I don't know if ISPs provided IPs, but probably not.

Note that we did lots of data linking. Let's say an ISP provided us your age, URL, and Timestamp. We would link that into another data provider that provided past purchases, URL, and Timestamp (shopping toolbar/plugins do this) to get a bigger picture of who you are.

If you get DDOS'd they will stick your VMs in a black hole until the traffic stops to protect their network, no matter how much you plead with them.

AWS support is a lot more responsive even if you are not a big source of revenue. One time when I had an issue, I directly reached out to our startup program point of contact and they made sure everything was resolved by constantly following up with the interval team responsible and keeping me in the loop
If the Ford or Gates Foundation dump hundreds of millions into contraceptive/abortion services in Africa the direct effect is culling the world of black babies. Wrapping it in a veneer of do-goodery is what imperialists have always been doing.

Baby boomers: 1946-1964
