According to the post, the answer is: you should prefer to painfully rebuild everything the GraphQL specification simplifies using another standard.

If this is not the answer, maybe the title should be "Why not use Apollo".

Also, now that the specification is widely used and the problems it solves have obvious solutions, it's easy to tell how to reimplement those practices using another standard.

The ecosystem only exists because the specification and the great thing is the many things you can achieve with it, not the tools that are already available.
This is full-on concern trolling.

What makes you think the policy hasn't been fully considered over many decades?

Does a policy have to be pure good, or just better than the alternative?
How's that working out?

As I said, I'm pondering fairness. Something practical, a la Hintjens (zeromq). Like maybe dual licensing.

Edit: Hintjens has some advice about using trademarks to maintain control. I'll go back and check if his strategy talks about getting paid.

Couldn't we come up with a standard format for secret keys, that would make it obvious they are a secret and which service they're from? This would make scanners easier to implement, and would remove the requirement to partner with GitHub to get your key format supported.

AWS uses an `AKIA` prefix for access keys (but none for secrets), SendGrid uses an `SG.` prefix on API keys, etc.

Fox News is a very different entity and should not be confused with "Fox and Friends" and the other entertainment aspects of Fox.
That was entirely my original point- that the war on drugs may have been started with ill intent 50 years ago should not have bearing on today's policy decisions.

Whether we legalize or not, whether that helps minorities or not, i think we agree that constantly recriminating the past isn't helping.

No, I'm not going to watch the linked video to find out whether he's really answering my question or not. Tell me why I can't synchronize two atomic clocks that are right next to each other, then put one in a car and drive 1000 km away. Tell me why that won't allow me to correlate departure and arrival times well enough to answer the question.
This was reported by NYT, ABC news. Is well documented and web-archived. I witnessed the update of 130,000+ in favor of Biden in nytimes.com in November 4 at about 4AM.
Decide what? That Biden winning the electoral vote 306 to to 230 is somehow a mistake. In Trump's own 2016 words "Landslide"
> I mean they will count all the ballots, this is just the DDs of the major news groups seeing that its statistically improbable (like, less than 3 std devs) and projecting the winner.

We're talking about people who spread conspiracy theories on how the big media companies are manipulating the public into stealing an election.

Seeing media companies announce that the opposing candidate has won even though the race is exceptionally close, votes are still being counted, and it's still theoretically possible to see their own candidate win.... That just contributes to fuel the conspiracy theories that are being fabricated to delegitimize the election results.
That bums me out. I’ve tried two different z-types for very occasional days where I need to get up early - maybe 4 days a year. Anyways, I feel like I’ve had 2 hours of sleep on them even when I get a full 8 or 9 hours. They must really disrupt my sleep patterns.
Calling out partisans for hypocrisy is commendable, using a weak false equivalence to do it when there isn't any basis for it makes you look mad.
Your perspective is entirely wrong from the ground level view of what happened.

The NRA never supported or advocated bump stock bans. End of story really.

They realized like everyone else this wasn’t a hill to die on and didn’t fight too hard, but did fight a little. Bump stocks were “legal” not by a law or any official regulation, only by the ATF’s previous judgment. The ATF, NFA Tech branch specifically was able at any time to change their mind on this, and that was the reality everyone knew. This is how the ATF operates, “judgments” they often contradict themselves on, not law. Bump stocks were a hot topic for a month and the only supporters that were worth listening to were arguing on grounds of the ATF ability to “determine”, not that they were fans of the product.

In the gun world, no one liked bump stocks. So no one was really going to fight for them.
I can't find it anywhere. Can you provide a link to a source or not? Particularly the "all of one candidate" claim.

Also worth noting claims like this have already been debunked: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/nov/04/viral-imag...
Clearly you disagree with the methodology used by decision desks, however, what /u/stu2b50 said is absolutely the way they have worked in real life for many years.

The purpose of a decision desk is to project who will win each election as soon as possible using all available data. They don't need all the votes to be in if they believe the remaining votes skew towards a particular candidate based on polling.

Of course, in the end it is the votes that decide who wins not the decision desks, but most often there is no difference between the two outcomes.
Even planned parenthood has been disavowing her:

In her speech the morality of birth control, she openly advocated for preventing undesirables (todays' deplorables) from procreating.

Edit: NPR's cherry-picking nice sounding quotes doesn't describe the totality of the woman, her views or the organization- then, or now.
Sounds dedicated for this purpose, might give it a try :) thanks.
Boot from DVD. Could probably find a drive cheap, or even borrow one.
Would love to get in touch and discuss this further!
The threat of ruining people's lives is part of the racket. Kids are arrested and charged for low-level drug offenses for doing something innocuous like smoking a joint. Then, prosecutors in municipalities will offer them plea deals and offers to expunge their records in return for paying exorbitant fees and participating in a jobs program for probation officers.

Why would someone take a plea deal and agree to pay municipalities what often amounts to thousands of dollars in fees? Because students with drug offenses on their records can have their eligibility for student loans stripped, potentially ruining their chances at bettering their lives through education. A drug conviction will pop up on every background check if their records aren't expunged.
This was a really great explanation. I love smart people who can dumb it down for me. Thank you. Very cool.
I can think of a couple reasons--not necessarily good reasons, but reasons. One would be a belt-and-suspenders approach: if you think of Security Groups as a network-layer firewall, having host firewalls can be a good second layer of defense in case of misconfiguration or hacking at the network firewalls. That said, it increases complexity and management labor, which can be a net loss--depends on the environment.

A second reason would be for consistency: if you have a mixed environment with some stuff in the cloud and some not (I know, I know, who would ever be so gauche as to not host everything in the cloud? \s), you may want everything configured the same regardless of hosting. In that case, you're trying to reduce your complexity by increasing homogeneity, even if that creates some redundancy for stuff hosted in the cloud.

Third reason would be for achieving specific effects. Security groups is effectively just a stateful ACL, blocking traffic at the layer 3/4 level. It's good, but not terrifically fine-grained. You can use netfilter/iptables to put in NAT, port-level forwarding and translation, complex tricks like port-knocking, and protocol-specific filter tricks. Most of those may fall more into the category of "no one does this in large production environments", but even those large environments will have odd stuff that works better with iptables/netfilter than by trying to do it with ACLs in Security Groups.
I thought it was only me :)

Different claim. Interference is not aid.

Aid was disproven, interference was proven.

Actually, the implementation of arenas is broken in glibc malloc() when running on multicore systems.

I have been debugging that problem for some time. The charts in the article are quite similar to the ones I got when I initially came across the problem.

Wonder how many threads does their process have? and how many cores on the machine?

There are environment variables that can adjust the behavior of malloc. They should try setting MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=4 and see if the memory usage goes down.
Democrats have been saying this for decades and it hasn’t panned out and won’t pan out: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/trump-is-losing-ground-...

> While older Black voters look as if they’ll vote for Biden by margins similar to Clinton’s in 2016, Trump’s support among young Black voters (18 to 44) has jumped from around 10 percent in 2016 to 21 percent in UCLA Nationscape’s polling.

> It’s a similar story with younger Hispanic Americans, a group where Trump has also made gains. According to UCLA Nationscape’s polling, Trump is attracting 35 percent of Hispanic voters under age 45, up from the 22 percent who backed him four years ago in the CCES data.

UCLA polling in battleground states shows that Black voters 30-60 are three times more likely to trust congressional Republicans that Black voters over 60 (21% versus 8%). In the 18-29 group it’s almost four times (29%).

I can think of two reasons why his account is not banned:
1) The tweets will be used as evidence in the upcoming litigation. Fines and/or jail are (likely?) in his future.
2) The public is likely to learn in real time of any no-good, really bad, horrible decisions on his way out the door.
This is actually not under review by the PA state courts, and the case was rejected by the SCOTUS twice already. Moreover, the segregated votes were not included in this projection, so the result of the case is irrelevant to the outcome of the election.

Welcome to a crash course in reality.
Very good article. The standards of rigor in the software industry are way below what is expected of a guy who fixes gas boilers, let alone more complex life critical systems.

And I am glad that the author mentioned Agile, which is pure scam, which only proliferates because

1. frees one from solving hard problems, replacing them with blather along the lines of "face to face communication instead of documentation" or "people over processes"

2. appeals to managerial sensitivities, so various unemployable MBAs can become "scrum masters" or "agile coaches" in tech teams, where normally they have nothing to contribute, and where they drive away the best people or at least waste their time
Could you elaborate on what the difference is supposed to be?
that is right.
Was it close? Seems like it just took a long time to process mail in ballots because the administration tried its best to invalidate them and decrease their legitimacy.

Furthermore tumultuous does not equate to unpopular. Perhaps his supporters enjoy the chaos.
SGU was such a blatant attempt to recreate Battlestar Galactica, and I can't believe more people didn't see through it. I believe it got good once they started establishing their own identity.

> The accept the pronouncements from the priest-scientists, as if they were gospel.

That’s really not how scientists think about science. The respect is for the body of evidence not the interpretation of that evidence. The way the coastlines of South American line up with Africa isn’t some words from on high, you can see it for yourself. People still get wigged out by relativity let alone quantum mechanics weirdness while acknowledging how useful those models are. The innate feelings that models are wrong rather than data isn’t religious any more than a babies understanding that dropped balls fall.

Even before language develops people internalize the idea of cause and effect being linked. That’s the only assumption made by science everything else is observation and math. As such observation can always beat any theory no matter how old. It’s simply accepted that the most well known and perhaps most useful scientific law “F=MA” is wrong. No breakaway groups holding up such a sacred tenet, just a quiet understanding that nope that’s not quite how the universe works.
The article is about establishing "enormous brands like McDonald's, Coke, Pepsi, Nike, Apple, Ford, Chevy, AT&T, Tide, Crest, Bank of America, Visa, MasterCard, Toyota, Tylenol, Kleenex, Budweiser..."

But internet advertising is dominated by niche marketing from smaller players.

Niche marketing requires targeting. You can argue about whether certain data really delivers effective targeting or not, but if a product is niche, it requires targeting.

If a product is mass, that's a different proposition.
There's a reason that my local PBA is losing their minds over the potential for drugs like marijuana becoming legal, and it isn't because marijuana is harmful. It's because 60% of the town's budget goes to funding law enforcement salaries, benefits and pensions, and the majority of arrests in this area are for marijuana possession.
Not OP but how do you normalise this statement:

> Obesity and alcoholism is far more rampant than most drugs used in the war on drugs.

since ... of course alcoholism is more rampant when i can just buy it legally in the supermarket. that is a nobrainer conclusion. same for nicotine.
caffeine has so little impact in a drug-related conversation that i won't even bother going there. i dont think you do yourself any favour dragging it into this discussion.

problem with 'low nutritional value fast foods' is that eating is a necessity. you need your X calories a day. drugs (nicotine, alcohol, heroine, prescription drugs,...) on the other hand are purely optional (genuine medical reasons aside). so the process of consuming food can't be dropped similar to how you could just not drink alcohol. that leads to a complicated question as you need to substitute the low nutritional value fast foods with something more substantive. this leads you to evaluate the entire process of food consumption, from agriculture to purchasing decisions to prep work to marketing to food labelling etc.

> If you are on welfare should you be prohibited from drinking alcohol? What about eating low nutritional value fast foods?

because of the above i don't think those two things are comparable at all.
I was under the impression that the implication of the parent comment was IC in the literally "individual" coder sense. If you're going to be that broad there are PLENTY of well known frameworks, not even worth listing, under both MIT and GPL, that are built by organizations, or VC-backed startups, and it's hard to compare "ease of making money".
Because trump told his followers to not submit mail in ballots. Since this has been pointed out to you multiple times I’m curious why you think his supporters would mail in ballots despite their candidates plea not to?

I haven't read the exact spec myself, but I'd be extremely surprised if it wasn't. Unfortunately tech can't solve the problem of doppelgangers without going into biometry, which might be a bit of an overstep for simple ID purposes.
No, because those concerns were based on investigations.

Trup is simply throwing a tantrum online because he can’t behave like an adult in the face of defeat.

Also based on evidence he knows he is potentially inciting violence, because any concerns are to be addressed in the courts, not on social media.

I did see this benchmark. For a consumer CPU, it looks pretty good. Looks like 46.3 minutes.

I guess it's actually pretty good for any CPU class.
Yes, having one core at 2x clock is definitely better than having two cores at 1x clock, I'd agree with that.

These days however, the difference between fastest core performance on low-core processors and fastest core performance on high-core processors is rather a lot less than 50% (Comparing like for like, eg AMD to AMD and Intel to Intel).
Twitter won't give Trump special treatment post-presidency
Most of the time, sure, but there are lots of cases where `defer` being function scoped leads to manual unlocks, e.g. inside loops or short critical sections in the middle of a function. Yes, you can use closures/otherwise, but few codebases are that disciplined. Those edge cases are plentiful enough that catching panics is dangerous.
While in practice this is true, a lot of work is being done to try to figure out how to make shallow neural networks train as fast as deep ones. We know by the UAT that in principle a shallow network with similar paramaters counts to a deep one should be capable of learning the same decision boundary...

Biden's lead in Arizona is shrinking and Pennsylvania isn't over. As much as I want this, I won't believe this until the counts and down and the votes are certified. Trump could pull an upset here.

Thank you - this is really and the background here is helpful. Appreciate it very much.
It’s one thing to allow a limited number of ballots to arrive for military or absentees. But states that conduct elections primarily by mail (Oregon, Colorado) require ballots to arrive by Election Day.
Isn’t Seattle in shambles because they no longer arrest drug users? I know that this stuff seems like a good idea when it’s theoretical and it doesn’t happen near you but when it’s your neighbor doing heroin and the police won’t do anything about it, you start to wish that drug use wasn’t so normalized.

I used to live in Salem. Used to be extremely crime-free with very few homeless. Now, they line the streets of downtown and no one goes there anymore. If we’re leaving drug users on the street too now, the only consequence of this policy will be more white flight. Shame, too, because Salem used to be a hidden gem of the Pacific NW.
Yes marketers are gullible and we all know it whether we are creating or selling the data or an employee at a company based on this stuff. Valuing companies based on user base is a ponzi scheme and there is no reason to care. The only result of the big settlements next decade will be to add an extra disclaimer of page 86 of the prospectus so that "investors are protected". Way to go future regulators.

I don't think many vote based on issues. A lot of the time, people seem to choose the candidate/community around the candidate first, then support whatever issues go with it. Even when people say they're really excited about particular policies, if you talk with them for a bit there's usually very little depth or understanding there.
I disagree. Where I work (and for some reason I expect this is the case in plenty of other places), APIs don't grow into being shit because the programmer doesn't know that "returning comments on the response of GET user/1" is bad, but because their manager asks them to implement that feature as fast as possible. Given that requirement, of course the guys will just throw the comments in that already existing endpoint instead of building "GET comments?user=John", right?

I'm a big fan of the saying "complexity has to live somewhere" and I think that's exactly what GraphQL is doing: moving the complexity to another layer.
This is an astute question. I have only ever built a non-toy GraphQL server in 2016, for evaluation purposes. Never used in production.

Tooling back then was probably much more primitive than it is today, so apply that discount to the subsequent statements.

Writing GraphQL resolvers for the API that we were building was painful and required a solid understanding of our data model and what the database was capable of (we were using MongoDB). We were much happier at the time to stick to tried and true REST API tools and frameworks than to jump on the GraphQL bandwagon.

All the complexity of managing REST calls was simply pushed from the client side to the GraphQL resolution server. This complexity seems irreducible to me, and I am highly skeptical of anyone claiming that they can make this complexity vanish.

Have never so much as been tempted to use GraphQL since then. Unfortunately, this probably also marks my entry into dinosaur-hood.
Russian interfered via hacking emails, leaking them, polarizing voters by advertisement (only worth 100k$ though), and maybe even leaking a fake steele dossier.
