Unfortunately he's somewhat right. Not because the interviewers necessarily know wtf they're talking - they probably don't. But going against the current hype in an interview can only hurt your chances. Liking something like GraphQL, or React, or Framework Of The Month can't really hurt you even if your interviewer doesn't like it. But not liking it can be a real issue! I would suggest at least staying neutral on the current hype stacks in an interview. It's like debating religion - don't go there...
Thanks. But are you doing all that personally? Do you have time?

Probably not - I certainly I'm not polling hundreds of people over each minutaie in my life. So, it is likely that neither of us have done the work personally.

The difference is that I distrust the output of science by default. I understand that it is an industry and I'm deeply suspicious of all its pronouncements. I'm on the lookout for the monetary upside, and what isn't being discussed. I love the scientific method, but it is not the be all and end all. What q

Could a drug company ever say:

"Guys, we've done the testing, and the best thing if you have XXX disease is NOT a drug. No, the best thing is to go on a juice diet and prolonged fasting."?

It could not.

With individuals, I am more open. If you can speak to someone, eg Doreen in this case has offered her perspective, that counts for far more with me. I know most individuals are happy to offer help and their perspective out of natural good will. Mostly individuals are trustworthy.

The system that individuals are forced to engage with however is degenerative, and system/corporate/governmental outputs are propagandistic and in the service of the system itself.
While I agree with most of your narrative the still outstanding piece beyond the president is the Democrats loosing seats in the house and not gaining control of the Senate. While they did get the presidency by a relatively slim margin in a few states the bigger picture it will be hard, if not impossible, to implement many of his agenda goals unless he can reach across the isle somehow (and the other side is accepting).

This is not a solid or mandate win by any means I do not believe. Not gaining the senate, not getting a supermajority in house, these were things that would've said the American people outright rejected trump. While we have a new president in the Whitehouse the country could potential be deadlocked for the next 2-4 years.
The impressive thing is how the election is going to be decided by a measly -100k to +170k (mean +35k) Biden lead in Pennsylvania !
That does sound very interesting. I believe the issue lies in the fact that this is a workflow-based “sales pitch.” What I mean is that this is a difference that doesn’t always apply depending on what tools you use (like client dev tools, type generation / hints, etc)

But what it does do is constrain. Now, constraints are great. They’re always a great tool to introduce new innovations. What I’m ultimately thinking is, how much do you bring to the table compared to persisted queries and tools like GraphQL Code Generator and the added flexibility that comes with those tools?

Genuine questions of course, not criticism
I know someone who has fried GABA receptors or God knows what (he actually has brain lesions), and in its natural state he is the same as if someone took lots of amphetamines. It is not good. He uses opiates to balance it off, and works for him, he is productive and so forth. Opiates do not make him nauseated nor euphoric. We do have an antidepressant named tianeptine that is used as a nootropic in the US, and it is an antidepressant here that affects the same receptors as opioids. I do not know if tianeptine would work for him, but opioids do, and who am I to judge? People have all sorts of reasons for drugs, some are more harmful (the reasons, I mean... the drugs too, but that is a different story) than others. If it makes him functional and "normal", without any side-effects (apart from some constipation he can fix if necessary with magnesium), then why not? I just typically live and let live. I never judged him for it. You cannot even tell. You can tell when he is in his "normal state" though, that is horrible, and I am not talking about the opioid withdrawal. He is anxious as heck, shaky, very reserved, cannot focus, and so on. He occasionally goes through voluntary withdrawals so he has to take less doses. He has no cravings through withdrawal (probably because he is not taking it recreationally or for escapism), and the only withdrawal symptoms were sweating and diarrhea that disappeared after like 4 days or something like that. I do not keep a tab on him, we just talk. Fascinating stuff.

I guess the moral of the story is that there are many and legit reasons to take drugs that can affect people very differently, and who are we to judge? I will repeat this because I really found it to be nice to live by: live and let live, and whatever you do (context), do it responsibly and safely.
> Why would we evolve to have volitional control over our breathing

Eating, mainly, I'd assume
I can't believe this has to be repeated again and again. Castes in the vedas were just a division of labour not social castes as they are now. The current caste system is a bastardisation that happened over thousands of years similar to nobility etc in the west. It was then maximised during India's occupation by the Mughals and then British who used it to drive divisions (which we deserved, because serious fuck the caste system).

Don't taint our scriptures by what is going on now.
> I know using the phrase "virtue signalling" tends to merit a bucket load of downvotes here on HN.

Perhaps because it is an unfalsifiable claim. If someone does something that they think is good, and someone else notices, were they "virtue signalling"? In the case of public figures, especially legislators, many of their actions are broadcast to the public, so condemning "virtue signalling" is like condemning virtue itself, or merely stating that you disagree on which acts are virtuous (as is expected in a society where we are free to disagree).

> legislators are falling over themselves to draft ever more idiotic laws intended to show how much more "liberal" and "progressive" they are than the next guy.

I imagine that legislators think "Violent people often have a history of saying bigoted things, but none of my friends say things that I think are bigoted, so locking up the people who say bigoted things will only have a positive outcome on society." Unfortunately there are enough people who can't imagine any bad consequences of such a law (even to themselves, eventually) that there is a genuine democratic mandate for it in some places.
You need 501 karma or more to downvote.
You. Because despite knowing the difference, you help perpetuate the “no difference” ignorance.

I know people who were scoffed by teachers in school (and by others) “well, you shouldn’t have eaten so much sweets then” for having type 1.

Doctors do differentiate. They do not prescribe metformin for type 1, and approach insulin very differently (if at all) for type 2. They don’t recommed eliminating carb for type 2 because they don’t know it works (for no direct fault of their own... the system is biased against it)

I think ignorance is worse than feigning ignorance when you know better. But maybe that’s just me.
It's currently 4 million of 145 million votes, since not all 330 million people are voters, and that number will go up since the outstanding votes are in large, overwhelmingly Democratic states.
If you can't convince the voters, import them.

One of the remarkable things to come from this election is that Trump gained in practically every demographic except White men.

Are White Americans finally seeing the writing on the wall and realising that they cannot vote their way out of this?
He's literally lying at this point and putting the democratic system of the US in jeopardy by saying he "won by a lot". Terminate his account. He doesn't have a right to post dangerous falsehoods on a third-party platform.
Boo. Let's not be too close minded. I'm a FANNG guy. A lot of our problems aren't even these mystical "FANNG problems" people talk about and get solved by REMARKABLY boring tech. So, I'd welcome his opinion in an interview. ^_^

Picking a non-sexy, non-scalable, "wrong" technology that does nothing more than solve the actual requirements at hand is a rare and amazing quality for engineer to have imo.

Everyone wants to build infinitely flexible, infinitely scalable machines using the most rapid iteration tools possible as though that's what "engineering" is. But sometimes... all you need is a REST API. Sometimes you need GraphQL. Sometimes, all you need is to stuff data in a bucket somewhere and call that an "integration point". All solutions have trade offs. Pretending otherwise, or faulting others for weighing those trade offs differently than you, is silly.
In the special election, the top 3 candidates (two republicans and one democrat) got ~80% of the vote. There were a lot of other democratic candidates that got a total of ~15% of the vote, so it's plausible that Warnock (the democratic candidate in the runoff) could win.
I'll try to post an update here in 11 years! I may well have changed my mind! :)
Great I will check it out! I got interested in the ATARI ST when I read about the VT52 extensions in the Wikipedia and I wanted to try 4 bits color for foreground/background and palettes.

I have this hardcoded to 9600bps but it should be able to do up to 115200 with no problem.

I really want to explore the space of modest processor with custom chips like Commodore & Atari did on their 8bit and 16 bits systems. I find it way more interesting/fun than the ultimately successful superscalar/big cache/big gpu that we ended up with, and fpgas make it very easy to test things out.
neh, this doesn't relate
There's some threshold you probably don't want to legalise. With less addictive alternatives being available, do you really think that heroin production should ever be legalised?

Otherwise what's to stop someone from creating a custom highly addictive drug purely for maximising profit? There are labs ready to do that. In Poland the drug laws targeted specific listed substances for a while which created a market for completely untested substances which were technically-not-drugs and the stock changed immediately after the drug list was updated.

Sam Harris did a really fascinating podcast with David Frum, a long time conservative writer and assistant George Bush.

Frum basically says that after the Obama election, republican strategists sat down to decide on whether to shift the platform to changing demographics in America or to double down and declare all out war. They chose the latter.
Congresswoman Cortez explains herself well.

>Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future

The concern is that these enablers will not have their credibility tarnished for their support of trump.

Are you okay with whitewashing?

She wants to prevent Trump's (former?) supporters from whitewashing their actions so that we, Royal we, can face the problems trump exposed.

What, exactly, is your fear here?
So, could one replace the back mirror by one that’s tuned to a limited wavelength range, matching that of the LED light, and add a LCD panel at the back of the mirror that shows the planet at the other side of the gate?

If not, is there another way to get that effect (rapidly move the back mirror away from a LCD panel (where would it go?), rapidly move a LCD panel or just a print in front the back of the mirror…)?

Most likely hold them to account for enabling poor policy choices by avoiding giving them any position of power in the future, discouraging anyone from voting for them, etc.

But her statement was rather vague and didn't clearly state at all what the purpose of her list would be, so our own biases about her and what she represents would likely color our feelings about what she might do with such a list, no?
If it's any consolation, it's probably confirmation bias.

I'm a White Nationalist and my accounts are very quickly flagged and shadow banned.

That is to say, my perception of the bias here is probably the polar opposite of yours.
I believe they are just talking here about the missing baryonic matter; not dark matter. Dark matter remains a mystery.
> I'm more that willing to vote for a Republican that isn't just a party shill, and has reasonable views on things like gay rights, abortion, the war on drugs, military spending, healthcare, etc, but I have yet to see even a single one.

It sounds like what you're saying is that you'll vote for any Republican that leans Democrat.

> I have yet to see any good faith efforts to govern on the part of Republicans

That sounds super partisan.

> Republican's primary purpose in life is to grab more power

At this point, I've heard both parties say that about the other.
You're free to disagree or challenge any statement, but character assassination is something else. This is modern witch hunting. This is bullying. What if I had then gone and killed myself. You don't know me. No context should ever justify bullying.

And if you'd asked me whether I am a defender of abusers, I could have writted how I am not. Yet, you've already made assumptions to the contrary.

> your own close-mindedness.

What I said could also be interpreted as open-minded. You just don't appreciate the context in which it was practiced.

To only be able to see things in specific ways to the detriment of others and yourself is close-mindedness, similar to what you have demonstrated with your views.

> If someone needs help, let's help them. Public shaming helps no one.

Take Bill Cosby, since he's been found guilty of acts, not just speech. Do you think Cosby needs any shaming beyond the facts?

If you're going around spewing hate regarding someone who has already shamed themselves by their own actions, what exactly does anyone need you for? And what exactly are you doing?

Sean Connery is the same. What he said embarassed him enough. People already hated him enough for it and punished him at the time.

If you want to help DV victims then let's help DV victims. Shaming a dead Bond does little for your cause, just as shaming Dr. Huxtable will do little or nothing to protect anyone that needs help now. No DV perp is going to read what you wrote and change their ways.

I'm wondering if there are any legal implications to the harm he's done, in terms of division and decreasing trust in the democracy.
Portugal is one of the hallmarks here where decriminalizing the drugs, and then spending the money on outreach, safe needle programs, and recovery centers have helped them not just with drug addiction problems they had, but also in lowering the knock-on effects of not having these things (like HIV and Hep C from dirty needles).

Like a lot of areas of life, a softer more compassionate touch yields far better results than putting people into prison and throwing away the key.
We're a GraphQL town, buddy. You take your [use of literally any technology which isn't GraphQL, because GraphQL is the best, because nothing else needs to be used anymore] and gtfo of here.
> Unfortunately, Trump's brand of conspiracy theory populism resonates with a significant number of American voters more so than any other political ideology.

The problem runs deeper than that. Unfortunately Trump's blend of populist rhetoric fueled by conspiracy theories, divisiveness, and victimization coupled with a vindictive/authoritarian agenda has seeped out of the US borders and reverberated in european countries that are now struggling (again) with he rise of fascist parties.

Take for example Spain's Vox party, which is quite literally a fascist apologist which copies Trump and recently even went as far as claiming that Spain's current government is the worst in 80 years, subtly bundling Franco's fascist regime in comparison and thus stating that it was a better alternative than the current democratic regime.

The free world has a problem with fascism in specific and authoritarian regimes in general, and Trump contributed to whitewash these political movements to the point that they might regain mainstream status throughout the world.

Requiring signatures yet refusing to reject ballots for mismatched signatures isn't much of a requirement: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/23/pennsylvania-court-...
Probably upset Trump supporters (if the election went the other way, it'd likely get flagged by Biden supporters) - HN is a diverse group.

The HN guidelines do say politics should be considered off-topic: "Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon."

There's a ton of duplicate (even if separate URLs) submissions.
Requiring ballots to arrive by Election Day is the only reasonable thing to do. Otherwise you leave open the possibility of fraud as has been alleged in PA with multiple USPS workers coming forward and testifying that they witnessed backdating of mail in ballots.

In Washington state where I used to live has had universal mail in ballots for many years and they had ballot drop boxes that were swept on election day. There was extensive information that was put out informing people of the last day they could mail their ballots in.
If someone is telling you this, I'd reconsider your relationship with them
Does that make a difference for most Trump supporters? I would expect that they'd be hearing about his pronouncements from Facebook or Fox News.
I didn't see a criticism of censorship personally, what matters is the intent of the post.
Without further details, I remain unconvinced of true hardware security.

By hardware I would presume they mean a system/keyboard controller - one that can monitor events, delay and toggle privacy mode. A controller that likely has updateable firmware and could be compromised via SW given sufficient effort (TLA, Dell, &c).

The privacy mode might be unsubvertible via SW, but I wouldn't take their word for it.
Can this be used as a keyboard for a normal PC?
GQL has issues like every tech does, but it feels so much more ergonomic from an api consumer point of view.

Simply point Insomnia at the base url and it’ll introspect the schema and provide typed query auto completion. No dozens of requests to different endpoints with different query parameters than can only be kept track of by having the api docs open on a second screen.

If your workplace is solving FAANG type problems sure you would want someone who supports the concept of GQL.

There is this over tooling over scaling wave going on.

Most startups fail because in their limited investments they over tool and under sell.

"Deep" is such a good prefix for all sorts of Deep Learning, Deep Math, Deep Thinking, Deep Engineering etc. Wonder if the networks were originally called Thick neural networks, would the ML/AI revolution as we know it still happened?
I am sad to say that it is likely not over; the people who voted for Trump didn't wink out of existence. The Democrats barely won the presidency and lost ground in Congress. It's really a tremendous slap in the face for them by the public, given how unfit his opponent and those who aligned with him were.

Things could easily flip the other way in 2024, particularly if the economy goes south as it's been projected to do in 2021.
Mostly it looks like the discussion devolved past the point of value.

> we have some people who think drug use is immoral

Sure. But that's a big aspect of the argument, at least for me - lots of things are immoral, many of which are legal.

It is entirely possible to concede the point and still, for either public health or cost reasons, want to stop doing destructive, expensive things that don't actually reduce drug use, decrease property crime or violence, or dampen business for the cartels. (My views are different, just saying these are logical views people hold.)

Yes. If I want to use the 0x1c to 0x1f in a delimited file, how would I signal by file extension (and/or MIME type) that is what is happening?
I think the media and pundits on both sides have constructed mental pictures of the "enemy" in the minds of naive voters, which don't accurately describe the people in the opposing camps. During the Bush and Obama administrations if you did a study where you asked GOP voters to describe how they think DEM voters would describe there political views and vis-versa there was a much bigger gap between what Democrats thought Republicans believed and what Republicans themselves reported then the other way around. Although I have not seen data from the trump era I suspect that the discrepancy would be in both higher in both comparisons.
I think this falls under not applying dark patterns?
