I use GraphQL as my main solution to build APIs these days and I have worked with GraphQL for almost 4 years.

I agree with you that "being able to project out individual fields seems like a niche benefit" and I almost never use it to let anyone ask for anything. I rely on GraphQL mostly for its schema in order to have a coherent view of my API at all time. I can thus easily validate my frontend queries during continuous integration and I know the structure and type of the result that I will obtain from my queries.

When I refactor my API, I can evaluate the impact quite easily since my build will tell me about invalid queries in my frontend and unused fields too (since I am building my API for known clients, unused stuff has no place in my API). It brings me the same security net during changes to my API as TypeScript does.

Since I'm not building my API for unknown clients which could ask for anything but instead for specific clients that I can control, I am still doing most of my joins in my datastore. I am relying on a Java implementation of GraphQL and I don't feel any GraphQL-specific complexity on the backend, it may be different with other implementations of GraphQL. In Java, with a minimal amount of annotations, most of my schema is created automatically from my data classes.

> Federalism, in principle, is no bad thing - but it should keep to regulation and overarching legislation while letting states largely self govern (i.e. the EU model) rather than top-down tactical governance, which is where the US has ended up.

The US couldn’t maintain federalism, and the EU will ultimately end up in the same place. There is no additional structural protection in the EU, there just hasn’t been enough time to erode the sovereignty of the individual member states yet. In some respects, the EU is actually structurally worse. For example, the EU has no equivalent to our anti-Commandeering principle, so the central government can force the member states to execute EU legislation using the apparatus of the domestic governments.

I wish this article went into more detail about the relative death rates.

The fact that Sweden’s death rate “far outstripped that of other nordic” countries (all else being equal) would tend to indicate the Swedish strategy failed, no?

Are there important confounding variables that would explain the higher death rate?
I can't tell if this number is large or small.

However, all research institutions take a cut of grant money in what is usually called "Facilities and Administration" cost. My undergrad rate was 50% of the proposed sum. Obviously the exact rate varies, but the fee remains.

Ex. If a professor is writes a proposal for 1M. When the funding agency awards it they tack on another 1M for the institution.

This is why "expensive" research is favored in universities, over theoretical work. A big part of tenure review is how much money you have brought in in funding, because that's a direct measure of how much money you made the institution.

So 75M is more like 30M-40M of directly funded research, with the rest going to the institutions.

EDIT: Berkeley's F&A goes at high as 60%.

I wrote that comment 3 years ago! It definitely took me a week or two worth of work to figure out what was happening there. The problem was exacerbated by the fact that the influx cli client then had different behaviour compared to the python client. Not sure if that has been fixed, but this isn't code that I'm really proud of. :D
Sure. If there's enough data then the data becomes more credible than even the most popular theoretical fit. If I have four games I played with my nephew then people should probably go with ELO.
It doesn't seem like an arbitrary restriction to me though. The node.js ecosystem is a complete disaster if you're not tuned in to it, and if I want a fire and forget blog generated from static files then that's the complete opposite of node.js where you have to unfuck the imbred dependencies that form in the bloated, always changing ecosystem when someone decides to go CADT with their components.
Yes, that is why it is not surprising if it uses 60% more fuel. My question was why is it impressive? What would you expect given all the things you have mentioned? Twice as much fuel? Ten times? 100 times?

I'm not arguing against your opinion, just asking for context that seemed to be missing.

I live in a small city, pop. 250k metro area 1M, and there is a local business news site that reports on openings, closings, and other local business news. It's more or less standard that when they announce a new restaurant, bar, or brewery opening the owner will state an expected opening date a month or two in the future, and then 3-6 months later a follow up story about how they are still 1-2 months from opening. It's almost always due to unexpected snags in the permitting and licensing process. There are many different local government agencies that have to sign off: zoning, permits & inspections/building, business license, health department, ABC, the fire marshal. And if any of those agencies requires you to make changes to the building or systems you have to go through permits & inspections again. It's a system that is not optimized for speed or efficiency.

If you are running a blog presented to the public for public access, what do you expect? Yes, you are indeed trying to become a public figure. You are interacting with the public on public terms. Otherwise you would restrict the blog to a more private venue such as yourself (a journal) or some small community (friends, family, etc).

Sharing content is a different matter because you didn't originate the content and you didn't set the public policy on it.

Summary:

"... the deeper reason why no single psychotherapy seems to provide unique advantages over any other is that they ALL work because of shared elements. Chief among these is the therapeutic relationship, connected to positive outcomes by a wealth of evidence."

"The emotional bond and the collaboration between client and therapist – called the alliance – have emerged as a strong predictor of improvement, even in therapies that don’t emphasize relational factors..." cites co-author of the book "Attachment in Therapeutic Practice" (2018).

".. what if, attachment theory asks, therapy gives you the chance to reach back and repair your earliest emotional bonds, correcting, as you do, the noxious mechanics of your mental afflictions?"

Interesting to see this after reading this article yesterday: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/07/21/coronaviru...
What really helps here is adopting a culture of shared ownership. If a team has knowledge, your best bet is to work with them to share it with you. But if they are too busy, or otherwise unwilling, then you will be forced to move ahead without them. You can't let teams like that become a bottleneck to progress.

Similarly, if you are on a team that has important knowledge, it's really important to share that knowledge widely. Prepare lots of good resources to help spread that knowledge. Don't try to operate as gatekeepers or a cabal, instead, it's up to you to be an advocate and an activist for your knowledge. If you want other teams to respect your team's knowledge, then you need to make sure that they recognize that you have it, and that you are willing to share it. Lastly, it's best to adopt a strategy of empowerment, rather than ownership. Encourage and support consumers of your knowledge to help themselves, rather than requiring you to opine on every single question, or participate in every single design review.

All of this, of course, takes leadership, because it's a cultural practice. Leadership has to invest in having teams document and share knowledge. Leadership has to reward and recognize knowledge sharers while similarly recognizing and working with knowledge hoarders to change their ways. Leadership has to identify when a team has become a blocker on progress and either add resources, or as noted above, encourage teams to work around them. "So and so is the networking expert but he won't help us fix this problem." "Okay, I'll work on getting his time, meanwhile let me find this outside consultant or I'll give you cover to do the work yourself since they are blocking."

That last thing is your last resort, but you need to not be afraid to use it. I actually get the impression that Google suffers from that quite a bit (the existence of Principal Engineers who "squat" on problems is one I've seen discussed repeatedly by former employees, and something I've witnessed on OSS projects).

At its peak Sweden had over 100 daily deaths. Yesterday it was 7 and no longer any excess mortality.
Ask HN: Web developers on this forum, how do you manage user sessions?
Do you maintain session information on the server or do you use web token and make server state-less? Why did you choose one over the other?

The way I am handling sessions is by embedding an "ephemeral session id" and a username in a web token and having that same id set as a separate cookie. When a request is received by the server then the "session id" embedded in the token is compared with the value stored in that separate cookie. If that matches then the username is extracted from the token. In response to that request, a new session id is generated and a new token is created and the value of a separate cookie is set to this new session id.

Do you see problems with this approach?
Are there better ways to handle sessions without storing state on servers?
How so? If they achieved the same results as others on roughly the same timeline, yet with more deaths, how is that a successful strategy?
Doesn't this person have a vested interest in saying their approach is successful?

Also, the article fails to define success -- death toll, economic impact, and long term health consequences from exposure to covid are certainly all factors and the article only mentions one.
First, you should be focusing on detection. You probably know about the PSA test and biopsies, but there is also a more sophisticated 4kscore blood test. MRIs and TRUS ultrasounds are also diagnostic tools.

If it’s detected then they will biopsy it and grade the cells to see how aggressive it is. If it’s not aggressive they will just monitor it without treatment.

If it comes to treatment, and you’ve caught it at stage 2 (hasn’t spread), then it’s either cut out your prostate or zap it somehow (e.g. localized radiation).

For “younger” patients they usually recommend surgery. First, with early detection it is less likely to be debilitating. They can spare the nerves that control erectile function, although they can still get messed up and there is still a big chance of some decline in function. But it’s a better outcome than older age brackets or larger tumors — keep that in mind when looking at overall stats.

The reason they recommend surgery is the long term side effects are similar to radiation and if they don’t get it all with surgery, they can go back in and mop up with radiation. Whereas the reverse doesn’t work as well because of tissue damage.

(Note: some people are drawn to alternative ways of zapping it like proton therapy in the hopes it will have less side effects but so far, nothing conclusive.)
Yep, I have a lot of friends in the Philippines who I chat with on Facebook. Many of them, probably a large majority, don't have email or internet access on their phones apart from that. It's a free deal that comes with the phone.

Yes, here's a Norwegian site comparing the different Nordic countries per capita[1]. Other than Iceland being an outlier due to it being tiny, Sweden outstrips all other countries on pretty much any measure by a wide margin.

It seems like the number of patients under intensive care is slowly falling for Sweden but they're not anywhere close to where the other Nordics were months ago.

> What would you expect given all the things you have mentioned? Twice as much fuel?

Pretty much. Most 4 engine airplanes can fly with just 2, or 1. Take off thrust is few times the cruise thrust an all jet airplanes. In flight, the engines needed to achieve the take off thrust are dead drag, and dead weight.

This is why one of crazy ideas for very early large jet planes was to have parachutable, jettisonable engines, or having RATO on civilian planes.

They locked down, just not formally. They saw the same economic damage their neighbors did.

There's barely any lockdown in Norway either. It's been like that since the beginning of June at least.
Because other countries implement lockdown. Lockdowns is not without cost.

European (all-cause) mortality is conveniently reported on https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps
Wait I referenced the wrong one but you replied to the correct one already. Yeah I don't think duration alone is enough as mentioned in the other comment.

I believe in planned euthanasia. If I am getting crunky and old, there is a point where I would consider a peaceful death and celebrate it myself. I will have chance to say goodbye. Similarly, a depressed person after trying reasonable number of methods and spending enough effort, should be able to consider it as an option. Not everyone will end up hopeful and that's fine. We shouldn't try to pressure or shame that. Currently, too many people end up ruining their life through failed attempts. Many end up dying who could have been saved if they had legal system and society that gave them an alternative option. Many are currently suffering with terminal illness or mental health problems that won't be fixed any time soon. All three categories will benefit from a legal euthanasia system.

There are people who live through the day thinking that they could end it all if things go too wrong. It can stem from unhealthy environment but it might not always be that way. These people are ready to get help if they have a choice in the matter.
John Alsop, who supposedly popularized the word "egghead", also formulated "Alsop's Law of Politics": In politics it is important to say "most oranges are round, and sound as if you mean it. Alsop managed one of Eisenhower's campaigns in Connecticut: Eisenhower, of course, had the advantage of running against Adlai Stevenson, who was unable to keep from going on to say that actually oranges are not really spherical, that though generally round they are elongated in one direction, then there's the thickened area around the stem etc.

(Alsop also said "The eggheads are all for Stevenson, but how many eggheads are there?")
We don't know the results yet. Numbers are going up in countries that are lifting their lockdown.
One of my mentors, age 67 got recently diagnosed with prostate cancer due to a PSA test. No symptomes. His doctor (from the VA), recommended radiation treatement. The treatement fried the nerves in his legs and he now has much trouble in life and doesn't trust a thing they say.
This sounds like a desperate attempt to save face. Basically, their argument boils down to, "Well some countries did better than us and some did worse, so really our strategy wasn't so bad". The fact is a whole lot of people died in Sweden both in absolute numbers and relative to their neighbors. I know Sweden is used to being the smartest country in the room, but sometimes even the best among us make mistakes.

It's ok, just own it. No one has a perfect answer to this situation. You tried something different and it didn't work out.
Yeah, I got side-tracked in the middle of writing my comment, and it didn't seem worth fixing since I only noticed after the edit window closed and my main point holds either way.
The reason why our Senate has third parties is because states act as multi-mumber electorates (it's not winner-takes-all as it is for the House of Representatives). This means that a uniform 20% vote for party X in a given state (either first-preference or after runoffs) will result in about 20% of seats being held by party X. The same is not true for winner-takes-all systems -- 150 electorates with 20% of people uniformly voting for party X will yield 0 seats for party X. That's why we only have 4 seats in the House of Representatives being held by third parties, compared with 14 Senate seats (though still not as many as you might like).

To take Adam Bandt as an example, he got 49% of first-preference votes in his electorate[1] -- most third parties aren't going to get that many votes in a single electorate (the centre of Melbourne is probably the only place you could see the Greens getting that many votes but they do have a consistent 10% first preference rate in polls).

Don't get me wrong, I do think our voting system is pretty good and better than most, but it does suffer from some of the issues described we could definitely improve it.

The problem is they had a higher death rate than the neighbors on the same timeline. Oh and their economy also suffered just as bad as neighbors who locked down. Not sure how it could be a success with more deaths and everything else being the same.
47% of all deaths are from nursing homes (July 8th).

Uniqlo launched here in India last year and has quickly become my favorite brand. I appreciate their no-nonsense marketing. I like that they don't try to sell me an 'identity', but utility - their product descriptions focus on product benefits, not some copywriter's exaggerated idea of the self (looking at you, Nike).
Keeping a persona wholly separate from your identity is fine, and that's clearly and explicitly his goal.

Having a persona doesn't mean you "want attention" and thus it's somehow then fine to link your persona to your private life.
I have had a great experience with statik.

It's in Python (pip install...), it uses a very complete and flexible Markdown library (never found a language that it didn't support, but syntax highlighting is in a plugin), and is a site generator, not a blog generator.
