It's also disingenuous to suggest the extreme left isn't dominating the messaging from the left.

The extremes tend to dominate the messaging on both sides. And frankly, the internet being dominated by younger people, there is a good case to be made that the extreme left's voices are louder.

The problem is the payment model. Even if all I listen to on Spotify are indies, my money will end up in the pockets of Ed Sheeran, Beyonce, etc.

This article sheds some light on the issue https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/should-spo...
From napster to piratebay to whatever, I consider YouTube to be the biggest bootlegger of anything that can be digitized - of all time, and by a huge margin. And in plain site. And it is free use.

Whatever your views on Spotifys model, breaking that model is stealing.

On a wider issue, Spotify and its ilk should be paying more to artists, with royalties scaled.
This perpetuates the fundamental misunderstanding on what makes passwords strong. In fact, no password itself has any guaranteed entropy and hence strength- only a distribution has this property. Since humans provide such poor randomness, we should never pick passwords at all, but generate them.

Research should go to making more memorable generated passwords, looking for the best tradeoff between that and entropy.
It changes over time too. I learnt that it was about economic policy, but today it's some weird mixture of economic policy, progressive vs conservative, liberal vs totalitarian etc. For example, in the US right now it would be totally normal to label someone who doesn't support gay rights as "right wing". Left/right have essentially become buckets where certain arbitrary issues end up residing.
The experience in Melbourne (Victoria Australia) has been interesting. They locked down for a number of months and have got effective control of the virus, with 9 days no infection so far since lifting movement restrictions. There has been a lot of concern about peoples mental health and money is being spent both on highlighting the problem as well as making sure people are aware of services available. My understanding is that the services are under pressure, but coping.

Lockdown is going to cause secondary social, health and economic problems, but if you can do it well and get control of the virus then you gain flexibility to deal with the secondary problems. If you don't control the virus, you will end up with those other problems as well as the out of control virus.

This is a no win situation. If you aren't lucky enough to live in an isolated country and avoid the problem from the start, something that only worked for some of the really isolated island nations, then you have to move hard and fast to control the virus and hope to deal with the flow on problems once you have the immediate threat under control.
They’re a composite cable, with fiber for the data portion and copper for the power needed to drive the fiber optic repeaters.

I was able to tour a fiber laying/maintenance ship back in the 1990s. Had it explained that they lay the cable powered and under end-to-end test (shore to ship). This makes the spool of cable into a giant electromagnet, meaning there were signs all over portions of the ship banning steel tools, watches, etc.
No I don’t think you’re bad. I was giving a generalization. I believe there exist good people (whatever that means) in both aisles. I think there are many deeply destructive warrior republicans. I believe there are many delusional, stupid republicans. I believe there are some thoughtful, sensitive, and smart republicans, but I don’t believe there are very many of them. I believe the republican leadership has abandoned the pursuit of compassion and dignity, and ceded power to the delusional and the warriors.
The problem is entirely that sufficient documentation was not kept.

Charlottesville is a good point, as it was one of the most perpetuated lies during the Biden and supporting media campaign that Trump somehow supposedly called extremists "good people" (media and Biden omitted the rest of the quote to distort what Trump said, he explicitly condemned extremists).
For what it's worth, I don't think you're bad based on what you wrote above; I even agree with you on much of it, with the severity of climate change being the major exception. What I can't see is how a reasonable person could vote for Trump based on positions like those. Because to me his behavior was so egregious, divisive, and even dangerous that any reasonable person should have voted against him, with both Clinton and Biden being far better alternatives even if you don't share all their views.
It's not quite that it's unimportant to people I guess, it comes up in conversation during election periods of course. People just aren't particularly partisan or passionate in my experience. I think most people have other things they would rather talk about.

Similarly as the comment above mentions, Australia has preferential voting which helps in reducing the overall divisivness of the two party system most democracies end up with.
> But his words have made it okay to be racist. As a minority, I experienced more minor forms of racism in last 4 years than in last 20 years before. He made it cool to be racist.

No, he didn’t. He denounced white supremacy more than any politician ever has, but folks were obsessed with these “Trump is a Nazi” lies. There’s a reason that more minorities voted for him than any GOP candidate ever. In fact, the only demographic that he lost ground on was white men.

What minor forms of racism are you saying he caused in your life?

From my viewpoint, GraphQL is yet another great battle in the never-ending saga between the "full stack" crowd and the "client vs server" crowd. This battle has been raging since WAY before Web 2.0 and SPA -- at least as far back as Susan in accounting sneaking in a DOS PC running Visicalc and Word Perfect instead of using the mainframe.

It is so seductive to imagine that "opening up the back end" is the answer. But, as many here have pointed out, unfettered access to the data model and transactions leads (yes) inevitably to the kinds of ad-hoc interactions which no back-end can rapidly adapt to. Kind of.

It doesn't rapdily adapt mainly because the server team doesn't want to be dominated in the organization by the whims of Marketing and the client team. This leads client team to demand fuller access, because it is tired of its creativity and velocity getting dragged down by the slow roll of the server team. Throw in an occasional economic downturn with pressure from management to rein in back-end costs and this becomes a drama truly worthy of popcorn-munching.
If you want to bring in rigorous analysis you have to first define what left/right even is. Is it economic policy? You really think the biggest thing that differentiates red/blue is economic policy? They both sit firmly on the right.

> I guess that’s democracy?

"Democracy" isn't a magical word which renders everything problem-free and perfect.

Direct-democracy is a concept which is plagued with a multitude of problems, both technical and practical and ideological, which are not possible to rule out.

Lack of accountability, decision-making in ignorance, and tragedy of the commons, for instance.

If we want to live in a free and open and inclusive society where rule of law prevails then we can't simply throw the "democracy" tag around and call it a done deal.
Well, he was speaking about how a Jewish person feels seeing a lot of glass broken by a mob, I won't agrue with that although I personally wouldn't use this comparison.

Is it about BLM protests though? I personally make distinction between people who protest lawfully against police brutality and racism - and I think it is totally warranted and honorable, and people who set things on fire putting lives at risk, who attack police simply for being police, who harass strangers to rise their fist in "solidarity", who put graffiti suggesting killing cops and journalists, who march through resident neighbourhoods in the night shouting and shining flashlights in people windows, etc. For example these people:

For me this interview with a black police officer was quite revealing of the other side to the protest even before the real mayhem starts:

Absolutely not. Like many things you can mis-understand the point. The point of Dear ImGUI is to easily stick it into what you already have. The point is it has no dependencies on any graphics API. You can stick it in Unreal if you want. You just need to be able to draw a list of vertices. That's one of its major features. To gloss over that and think "it only works with stuff in this folder that was renamed from examples to backends" is missing what the library is and isn't. Those are examples of how to make a backend. They aren't Dear ImGUI

ditto but for dems. your name is wrong. you're not a philosopher. you've never considered the opposite view.
I made 45 consecutive structured calls in my life, many times actually. I always could interpret the result in many ways, most of the time complete opposites were the leading interpretations. Their actual behavior afterwards told me the reality. People on the phone will say a lot of things, and it's very easy to accidentally make them reply what you want to hear even though they don't mean it.
You may not realize it but you're referring to the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. 1951.

It is long considered a fundamental human right to be able to flee danger. Because otherwise wars start and atrocities happen.

Trump consistently blocks their rightful entry into the US, vilifies them as invaders, denies that they have rights to entry, and tries to scare people into thinking they are a threat.

The child separation from parents policy, and there are hundreds that have still not been reunited with their parents today, has been admitted publicly without shame. Vindictiveness. It is to scare immigrant and refugee alike so they don't come here. It is to bully them in order to make American liberals angry, because making liberals angry is an inherent good in right-wing ideology.

Meanwhile Europe is having its own problems with refugees, and right-wing movements who hate them. So no we do not have freedom of movement, at least not everywhere and not for everyone who needs it. And that means we haven't learned a few important lessons - all of which are relatively well contained and explained in the 1951 Convention documents.
The article doesn't mention why they're doing it - I hope it's for returning to their roots of real animatronics at the theme parks.

Universal went further down the 3D / Simulator ride route than Disney and it's fun, but it's a bit less "magic". In a world of screens, I want a trip to a theme park to be real.

> It's easy to dream and blame, it's harder to build and lead by example. It'd be great if this post was a "why XXX" page in the documentation for a new platform which implements the said ideas.

That's because these grandiose visions are just that – dreams. It's one thing to imagine a user's utopia of infinite possibilities and write a blog post, and a completely different thing to go and implement it. It typically falls apart when confronted with the messy reality of the real world and actual code. That's why you see a lot of those posts, and never anything that goes significantly beyond some toy examples, if at all. Compare the author's misconception that there's little inherent complexity in summing a range of cells in a spreadsheet [1], an idea that won't be entertained for long if you actually implement a general-purpose spreadsheet application.

@djrobstep: Sorry for the harsh words. I've heard too many of those visionary ideas (including my own), and have never seen them amount to anything (see also Alan Kay's vision of software inspired by biological cells and systems – lots of talk, no non-trivial proofs of concept).

I would be delighted to be proven wrong, so please don't let this post bring you down. Start building! If you succeed, feel free to rub it under my nose :-)

> Is the argument that Trump is racist or right wing? They aren’t the same.

I see three points in the "grandparent" comment:

1. “The guy had armies of white supremacist supporters and advisers.”

2. “He told right-wing extremists to “stand by” on national TV.”

3. “Every time you gloss over this, you give a pass to it and to those who knew about it and supported him anyway.”

I would consider these the arguments being discussed in this comment tree, not "Trump is racist" or "Trump is ... right wing".

> You can argue Proud Boys are right wing if viewing it in relation to Antifa for instance, but they aren’t racists. They are pretty diverse as a group, they just may not hold your values.

I don't think that even the proud boys would dispute a label of "right wing".

I don't really know how to respond to the claim that they aren't racists. Gavin McInnes is on the record with NBC in 2017 as saying "I’m not a fan of Islam. I think it’s fair to call me Islamophobic." and Islamophobia is anti-Muslim racism.

More recently, Enrique Tarrio has said they're not racist, but they've just gotten more careful with how they express their racism; they use dog whistles and veiled references.

If you look through archives of their early 2019-era merch store, you'll see things like multiple versions of the "Honkler" incarnation of Pepe the Frog — commonly used as a neo-nazi dog whistle, a picture of a black silhouette with the caption "Don't monkey this up, America!" — a reference to the racial slur that Ron DeSantis experienced backlash for using in late 2018, references to lynching, references to QAnon, and a joke about Muhammad being a Pedophile. (You'll also find a pile of sexist and transphobic content.)

> KKK and Neo Nazis are not right wing, but they are very racist.

From the wikipedia page on Neo-Nazism: "Neo-Nazism is considered a particular form of far-right politics and right-wing extremism." (citing: https://www.verfassungsschutz.de/en/fields-of-work/right-win...)

I blame COM being a bit annoying to use on developer side, and economic incentives mentioned.

No doubt the whole matter isn't clean. At those upper echelons I think it's very hard to not be corrupt.

Joe Biden's touchiness does bother me, as does the Hunter Biden story. But I don't think that's anywhere near what my driver was talking about, and I also don't think Trump is better when it comes to sexually inappropriate behaviour or corruption.

My driver also brought up Pizzagate and other such (nearly unequivocally) debunked conspiracy theories, which makes me suspicious of his reasoning capabilities.
Yes I admit he's a liar. Publicly he said both things. He just lost this election because his words were just empty nonsense designed to confuse.
> If you let’s say have a public api, you’ll have more control than in rest, no less, because it’s easier to reason about what your api users need.

REST: you know exact queries that frontend uses, and can optimize accordingly

GraphQL: users can and will construct ad-hoc queries of any complexity, so they can and will hit unoptimised paths

lyxsus on HN: GraphQL gives you more control than REST.

I'm conservative. I'm active on social media. I don't see what you're talking about at all. My feed is constantly being inundated with "We need to make lists of every trump supporter" and similar, but never do I see the supposed ultra-widespread nazi/alt-right hate.

Trump, for all his flaws, has disavowed white supremacy so many times it hurts to watch and even the most famous "very fine people" quote was [0] taken out of context (if you can call that anything but an outright lie, frankly).

The membership of racist organizations like the KKK is small, vanishingly small. It's not even .1% of Trumps base. [1] And, more importantly, it's shrinking. It has been for a very long time.

[1]Despite their diminishing numbers, there are still approximately 3,000 Klan members nationwide, as well an additional but unknown number of associates and supporters. Even with relatively small numbers, groups like the North Carolinabased Loyal White Knights (LWK), perhaps the most active Klan group in the United States today, have a fairly expansive geographical reach. In 2015, with just 150-200 members, they were able to draw attention to themselves in 15 different states (mostly in the south and east), typically through fliering, which requires only a single participant.

[2][3] It is a matter of public record that Biden supported segregationists, voted against integration-supporting policies like bussing (which Kamala Harris roasted him for repeatedly), and pushed legislation that disproportionately harmed black folks.

Ultimately, there's plenty of good reasons to dislike Trump that are completely and unarguably valid. Covid, John Bolton, numerous conflicts of interest (like using personal assets for the military and government functions) are a small piece of that. But calling Trump racist or a nazi is just taking the bait that his political opponents have set out.

In my personal opinion, Biden is the worse choice for president purely on the basis of his likelihood of supporting additional war efforts (whereas Trump is the first president in 40 years not to start a new war - AND has helped bring about a series of peace treaties in the middle east.)

Here is what Bernstein has to say about RSA

https://www.hyperelliptic.org/tanja/vortraege/facthacks-29C3...

See the conclusion slides. In short, RSA is secure if primes are large and random.

It’s worth mentioning, Bernstein is the author of a competing algorithm. There are hundreds of scientific talks and articles about RSA by renowned cryptographers.
I disagree. There are more reasonable/compassionate dems, and the party has retained truth and compassion as core values. The Democratic Party is better than the Republican Party.
Well most of the content is crap anyway, but right now there's a lack of content due to Amazon/Netflix/Apple etc. bidding up the market and covid limiting supply. So 1.5years of exclusive is probabbly 90% of the value of the content, and if it's still valuable afterwards you can license it from the original creators. Stuff drops off Netflix all the time.

Both of those claims are likely based on this Steve Bannon funded study of voter fraud: http://g-a-i.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Voter-Fraud-Fina...

Data analysis would indicate that the DOB for many voters are over a 100 years old. Even as mentioned in this very report, that's because of a technical bug. DOB wasn't required, and when it was, the system used something like 0000 as the birthdate. The report dismissed these findings, but it seems either the media or general public has still been running with it.

Finally, it's worth noting the study itself is highly inaccurate: https://electionupdates.caltech.edu/2017/09/11/report-on-vot...
