Not sure I think that's a big argument for microservices/atomic functions but rather just for decoupling things in general.

For me, the appeal of microservices is the organizational challenges it solves (allowing teams to move and deploy at their own pace).

My current codebase is a monolith because we're a tiny team, but the different parts are not tightly coupled more than they need to be and it doesn't feel slow to change things.
The Pfizer vaccine won't be available privately in UK, not for a long time. So I think they will be disappointed.

Meanwhile, here is a pretty good article about how healthcare workers are handling the pandemic: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/11/third-sur...

As additional anecdata, the sentiments expressed in the article are in line with what I have been hearing from healthcare professionals in my circle of friends.
The vaccine is not available privately in the UK. If you're not registered with the NHS, you're probably not going to be able to get vaccinated in the UK anytime soon. Even if you are registered, you will probably have to wait til late spring if you're under 50 with no underlying health issues.
Yup, taking the friction out of the process. You can also see at a glance what interesting domains are available.

Edit: another benefit is that you can sell your domain to him, if you have uselessly squatted on it for years.

I am confused.

In the react docs - here specifically, https://reactjs.org/docs/state-and-lifecycle.html

The first action item when talking about state is to concert a function to a class.

Are you saying that the official react docs, when introducing state, promote using an obsolete API?
Then I suggest next time you write something more like “might be counterproductive”.

Complexity leads to RCEs like the one in TFA, not “unsafe” languages.

It is very disingenuous to say that other native apps keep the unsafe parts; there are no such parts at all.

It should be telling that Microsoft, in one of their most successful products of late, have punched an RCE sized hole in that sandbox unwittingly.

But to take regular insurance, you don't need all those complicated things. I have for example a travel health insurance that only requires me to send a fixed amount of money to their bank account, instant insurance.

Yeah my point is/was that you can just use regular insurance. That's my point. Or at least I don't see why not. Presumably the shipping industry has a reason.

> I'm pointing out that, at least with deployments I've seen, GraphQL ends up with the same problems, only hidden behind a single URL.

Cool, let me give you a mini example, you'll immediately understand it.

Two endpoints:
1. users, which contain video-ids and can efficiently be queried by user-id (index in database)
2. videos, which contain video data can efficiently be queried by video-id (index in database)

How do I get all uploads of a user? I get the user by id (request 1) then all his videos by making one request per video (n requests). No big problem for the database (it's all indexed) and sure, we can improve the performance, but for now the bottleneck here is the number of requests that goes over the network if we use REST. This doesn't work. You need to make a new endpoint or change an endpoint to make this work in a performant way.

In GraphQL we have one endpoint with two different queries. So the same problem can happen if someone queries naively. But, they can also write one nested query that says "give me user for id X and for each video id, give me the video data". It will be one request from frontend to backend, but still multiple selects to the database, unless we use some "smart" GraphQL framework that does magic for us.

But we already solved a big part of the problem. And maybe that is already performant enough for what we need and we don't have the need to improve the database query part. Lot's of time and code saved on the backend and frontend. Yay.

You might say "but we didn't have indexes". Then my answer is: well, you are not worse off with GraphQL and still gain the benefits for all the cases where you have indexes in place. If you have non of these, you seem to be doing something wrong.

> It doesn't? I was proffering an opinion, based on my observations when GraphQL is fronting many data sources.

Yeah, seems you edited your post. When I read it, there was 100% a question-mark in it. ;)

It's essentially a facade pattern[0], which in itself can be a good thing.

For example, if all consumers move to GraphQL and away from interacting with all the separate microservice REST endpoints individually, you then have the option of refactoring your architecture (merging/adding micrososervices for example) without worrying about disrupting consumers so long as you ensure that the GraphQL queries still works.

Hello my fellow developers,

I built dbdocs to relieve the pain of spending centuries documenting database and maintaining such documents.

A little bit of background: I used to work at a fast-growing tech agency. There were a lot of new projects daily, so I was constantly involved in designing and documenting new database.

It was a PAIN to do this by Google Docs - the formatting is just terrible, and navigation is extremely hard. After a long time, the document becomes messy and I felt panicked every time I receive a request to change a field's name or its metadata (which happened A LOT...)

Also, drawing charts in Docs (or even in Lucid Chart) is painful. They are not designed to display ERD and so the experience takes a lot of time and learning. Again, after some time, the ERD in Docs just get uncontrollably large.

So I decided to build this tool with the support of my colleagues. My initial requirements are simple:
- Must be easy for me to generate. I hate spending time tweaking and editing on Word → I decide that I MUST use code to generate it.
- Must be business-friendly. The generated result must have a clear and friendly format so even non-tech people know what is what.

And here it is, a beta launch today. I believe many people out there are having the same problem. Hope that this little product can help you find some inner peace!
This is a strange point. The empirical results from audition-style interviews have been in for many years, and the results are indisputable. Software engineering is extremely lacking in diversity. So maybe try something else for a change? Not sure how it could possibly be worse than what has already been demonstrated over and over again to be absolutely awful.

My suggestion isn't particularly novel. It's often how hiring works in other industries that aren't as insane as tech. Software engineers have their own special snowflake hiring process that they hold onto almost like a cult. They rhetorically ask "What's the alternative?" without actually empirically looking at the rest of the world outside of software engineering. The fact that "FizzBuzz" and "LeetCode" are words everyone recognizes just shows how much of a cargo cult software engineering has become.

It's made with ventilation thru hidden inlets (often hundreds of meters away), the outlets are over pressure protected, when a explosion outside goes off those then close, so the inhabitants have no eardrum rapture, in the case of nuclear/chemical/bio attack you attach big filters to the inlets. In some Bunkers the circulation is so bad, that after 2 week sleeping on your mattress mold starts to grow in it (bunkerhusten (bunkercough) is common after 1-3 weeks because of that mold), natural fortresses/bunkers drip water quite allot from the ceiling, but sleeping and living "rooms" are normally plastered or with concrete walls.
Just as a side note, asymptomatic spread is a contested topic. If asymptomatic spread were a major driver of infection, this would be the first respiratory virus to work that way.

The alternative scenario here is having those same viruses and RNA inhaled in an active form with lungs helping to transfer them into the blood stream. What are you actually advocating for/against here?
If a player consistently has a sub 100ms response time, it is a bot. There are plenty such values to be found that have clear superhuman markers (100ms on average is already realistically too low, so I'm being mild), and you can use those to detect cheaters.
> The unions have been in damage control mode for decades, trying to avoid losing the factories that employ two hundred to the more automated factories that employ twenty, but then as a result losing 100% rather than 90% of the jobs to China.

Eh aren't they basically non existent? Like 6.2% unionised in private industry and that tends to be more in other industries.

I find it hard to blame them for this later migration.
Hell if you'd take their lobbying on foreign policy they'd probably be fairly protectionist.

At the end of the day I think the major dealbreaker is that everything in china whether it's low skill labour or high skill labour like engineers automating things is cheaper and that the capabilities exist. (Some part of bumfuck Africa or SEA might also be cheaper but not have these capabilities)
There's also plenty of competition there driving those prices down vs...well what's left in the US and EU.
I'd just:

async function getResult3(){
const res = await task2()
return task3(res))
}

const [result1, result3] = await Promise.all([task1(),
getResult3()])
Maybe I'm weird but I would rather use a wine app than a native electron app.
Actually the Lisp tradition has provided extensive support for formatting code. Common Lisp has this built in, in the form of pretty printing. Various IDEs have some degree of formatting rule support built-in.

I agree, and frankly, at this point, I think the changes did not pass the point of no return. But this depends on whether the vaccines eventually work and for how long, will the virus mutates etc. What I know is that never before the industry had this global "remote operation" training on such a global scale and who knows will it result in changes or it was decided that it's unsustainable and everyone wants to be back to normal asap.

Government's have shown a huge capacity for co-operation on a global, almost absolute scale.

There are times when they have shown a capacity to engage in conflict, yes. But since the mid-50s, at least two major powers have held the capacity to destroy earth in its entirety and have hitherto failed to do so.

Since then, we've built the World Wide Web, established a global world governing structure (UN, and it's instruments)... Co-operated on a whole host of humanitarian projects. Ronald Reagan ordered the GPS system to become open to all, in order to protect humanity from air disasters.

That said, disputed evidence for the existence of aliens exists all over the place. People "know" about Roswell. Countless people have seen UFOs. And sceptics have simply said "now now, don't be silly. There must be other some explanation". That's hardly proof, but there isn't a complete blackout of information out there. Whether you dismiss it all as a collective delusion (also feasible, considering The Mandela Effect, and other similar phenomenon)... Or the leaked whispers of a genuine conspiracy. If mankind can keep the secret of how to saw a lady in half on a stage, it can keep this one.
No, you do, because no matter the age, the family members still want to have a chance of survival of their loved one. My distant relative (70 year old) was in ICU for 30 days, and on ventilator for 14 days. Yes, that is a very long time for ventilator usage, and every day more on a ventilator increases the death rate probability percentage.

You are asking why an already infected person who receives the vaccine may still be able to spread it? The virus is still able to spread while the body fights it. In fact I'm not even sure there is a significant advantage of giving the vaccine to someone who already has the virus (as after all the vaccine teaches the body what the virus looks like and therefore how it can be tackled). This specific vaccine looks as if it simulates certain aspects of the virus, therefore not entirely necessary for someone who already has the virus I believe. But yeah - it's not like you get jabbed and you have instant immunity. Your body needs to learn to fight it, and then actually fight it - and if you already have it you are still infectious during this period.
Masking secrets is not meant to defend against malicious code, but mitigates a class of issues in the build system and the software you build that could lead to inadvertently leaking secrets.
You're questioning the doom narrative.
You are correct. If it helps you can imagine that the functions have side effects and always evaluate to their input.

Maybe think of it this way:

xxxxx {
xx
xx
xx {
xx
xx
}
}

vs

(xxx
xx
(xx xx xx xx)
xx)

I can make a pretty safe guess that the first example is implementing something not worse than O(n^2) before accounting for what the individual calls do, or maybe there is some conditional branching. I can make some guesses about how the code works with probably fair accuracy. That would survive even if I took away the {} braces.

In the second example there is not a lot that can be deduced. Whether that matters to you influences whether you are happy coding in a lisp.

I prefer the lisps, but there are less hints from the shape of the code.

Stampede is largely a misnomer. People die in crushes when the people in back don't know what's happening in front. This allows density increases until the people in the back become victims themselves.

During the Station Fire[0] there was a choke point at the front door. People fell on their way to the exit and other evacuating people, unaware of the situation tried to get out of the building. Few people knew about an exit near the point of ignition.

It seems pretty obvious to me that the police act partly according to how they were trained, and partly according to the esprit de corps and culture that has developed over time.
