Coroutines are not really for parallelism. I doubt you'll see them much around math heavy code. Possibly if someone implements some Cilk style work stealing executor...
Valid here means, the app tries to determine if you did any of the things the rules tell you not to do, like, wearing sunglasses, or using the photo of you with your best friend, or taking a full body photo when they want a face. Later a human will check, and also compare the photo to your last one. Maybe you dyed your hair blond... and grew a different moustache... But how did your missing eye grow back? And why is your nose now further up your face?

So the app catches a lot of dumb mistakes that you could make, before a human had to waste their time, but it isn't the only validation.
> But I also don’t think that Go is a language that you “could pick up in ~5-10 minutes”

I disagree. I use Go for our API backend because I can onboard junior developers and have them producing very fast. Because they are familiar with loops and C-syntax, this is very much a guaranteed "pick up in ~5-10 minutes"

The explicitness of Go makes it easy for them to get to work, and easier for me to understand what they are doing when it comes to code review

They won't ever have to use interface{}, nor concurrency, and slice manipulation won't take much time to lookup any "cheat sheet", or copy from another file
Have you considered that your use of the term "real money" undermines your position a bit?

People spend money on things with little tangible value all the time. The benchmark, IMHO, is whether others accept these things as payment. It's generally pretty hard to pay your utility bill with Farmville coins, or buy groceries with Angry Birds Mighty Eagles.

SwiftGraphQL also generates API structs from the schema.

Maybe you are referring to generating the model from the queries. The problem we had with that approach was that it's hard to reuse the generated structures in your application model. You can read more about the idea here:

I think there is not much discussion because the answer is clear, and also unpalatable: it comes down to political and cultural differences. We never successfully implemented the kind of strict lockdowns and other measures that worked to control the virus in other countries.
> If you're worried about them _becoming_ officials, then act now. Leave these platforms and convince others to do the same.

the assumption that we do still have agency, and can exercise power as a collective "by voting with our feet/wallet" is wrong. we (some isolated heroes and activists who care) might be able to throw some spanner into the works or otherwise help things unravel at a slower speed. But things will still unravel in the same way as Jacques Ellul documented and predicted in "La Technique"[0].

To get rid of them is not possible because the only way out we can imagine is regulation which will further cement their position and status quo. There is no future in which these companies and power structures will not be around. I think it is more likely we see the end of the world than to envision a world where these platforms don't exist (maybe not among everyone my age but certainly among everyone 20 years younger than myself who has never experienced society without the Internet/Web)

Another week, another submission that hopefully edges more people towards realizing that they've just created an under-standardized, under-powered SQL-with-braackets that forces you to bring your own query optimizer, and eschews the advancements of Swagger/OpenAPI, JSONSchema, HAL, JSON-LD and the flexibility of HATEOAS.

All for a little bit of a velocity gain from declarative syntax and horizontal/vertical filtering.

This code is probably very useful to the people who made it and those in the GraphQL+Swift ecosystem, but we were already here (and just starting to get drastically better) with OpenAPI -- it's not like all the effort is only going in one direction but GraphQL really feels like a less-than-optimal branch.

The final piece of the puzzle for me will be when someone starts to replace the dynamic properties of the more advanced REST-ful techniques (API discovery, link following, etc) in GraphQL. Then the circle will be complete -- we'll have rebuilt XML (in the "linked data" respect anyway, not so much the accidental complexity side) and it's related standards twice in under ~20 years.

This post would have seemed a lot less naive 10 years ago.
An entire article pondering regional differences in COVID-19 mortality and severity without saying anything about differing demographics of (a) aging and its comorbidities and (b) obesity and its comorbidities.

SARS-CoV-2 is severe in old people and obese people, and very few outside that demographic. Wealthy nations have a much higher obesity rate than poorer nations. The US has ten times the number of obese individuals than India, three times as many as Nigeria. Wealthy nations have a larger proportion of the population in older age cohorts. The US has five times as many 65+ people as Nigeria.

I have no idea why the media persistently chooses to avoid these points. The research community has been turning out review papers by the score to point out, very bluntly, that COVID-19 mortality falls near entirely on the old and the obese.

Yeah my standard quote about research code is that it is not the product, so it is ok thta it is bad. The results are the product and those need to be good. Someday someone will take those results (in the form of some data or a paper) and make a software product, and that should be good.
I have, but I also don't work in an organization that has separate and large front-end and back-end teams. GraphQL looks less like an objectively useful technology and more of a realization of Conway's Law in response to Facebook's organization.

>> stop moderating content, which will kill their profits because advertisers will run away,

One common trend for decades has been that "conservative" advertisers quickly acquiesce once they see that their customers do not share such values. Once upon a time major brands wouldn't go anywhere near sexualized content. Now coke/pepsi/ford will pay millions to get their into a Miley Cyrus video. Once upon a time major brands didn't want to be associated with "shock jock" radio hosts. Then Howard Stern made that acceptable and they all jumped on board.
Advertisers today don't want to be associated with unmoderated websites. That too will change as such websites become a norm.

> I expect more talk about the actual architecture and infrastructure behind the topic versus making it a political topic.

The problem with this line of thinking is that everything is political. If they had chosen not to address the possible racial implications, other people who felt strongly about those may have felt that the negative social impact that they perceive was being deliberately ignored, and they would have been right to the same extent that you are.

It is similar to the choice of making or not making global warming a game mechanic in the Civilization series of games: either option will be seen as "political" by some people and "apolitical" by others. It's a distinction without a difference.

Not saying something is not inherently less political than talking about it.

Note: I have no idea or even opinion about the actual political implications of skyways. Perhaps they are a real problem, perhaps they are a fringe idea like opposition to the word "blacklist" (a word which existed in the English language since Prince John).
Sounds like you've never met a good engineering manager.
This isn't true.

I am sure that you believe it's true, but advertisers have been used to being able to control what content they were put next to for a long time. I don't know whether it matters, or is valuable, but I do know that they have cared for long enough that it has been one of the largest influences on literally what television programs got made (even if this influence appears oblique, it has been one of the primary motivations of the folks making these decisions).

You can make an argument that the Internet allows things to work differently, but I think it was simply a matter of what was practical - once it became ~ practical to start exercising some control over what you're associating your brand with, of course folks would jump to pull that lever.

> Like we now have classes, structs and records.

IMO records are a great addition, especially when it comes to point-in-time/immutable data. They also provide an improvement to developer efficiency, as basic data classes can be represented with a single line record definition.

> We now have async/await but we also have channels. Some people are going to write code using channels, me others will use async.

I'm not really sure what you're talking about here. C# has no concept of a channel. If you referring to the "System.Threading.Channels" package, it exists for those in the community that would benefit from it, and still uses familiar async/await syntax. It's also a very niche package that is unlikely to have significant adoption, so there's no real concern of the pattern "segmenting" the community.
On the surface this seems nonsensical. The main tool the fed has for inflation fighting is interest rates. Interest rates are essentially at zero, so the fed has lots of scope to prevent inflation from getting out of hand if/when it does. Raising rates will hurt a lot of people, but I don't doubt the will of the fed to do so if necessary. Unlike past feds, they won't do so unless it is necessary.
After decades of hearing about trickle-down economics, and seeing lower inflation than ever, it's only taken a couple stimulus checks for people to start becoming inflation hawks. People need to set the bar a bit higher I think. There might be an equity bubble, or a housing bubble, but I'll believe CPI inflation when I actually see it. The Fed has printed money before (helicopter money+buying debt), and it didn't cause CPI inflation.

I've been in the US for 25 years, and I've yet to see savings interest rates above 2% in all of that time, and CD rates of more than 4%. There are other factors of inequality and productivity at work as far as mid-long term inflation is concerned. You want to see short-term inflation? Buy everyone a house.

It was underdeveloped to start with. Later the British economy was actually dependent on India. Why? Because India became Britain’s main market for her manufactured goods with 60% of British exports going to India by 1913. Employed Indians were buying that stuff! British investment in India totalled around £400 million or 10% of overseas investments before WW1, Like it or not, the British modernized India during their rule. They built 40,000 miles of railway track plus postal and telegraph systems with employment of millions. It's an unpalatable truth for many that a significant number of Indians found benefit and were willing to accept the rule (at that time and in those circumstances) rather than rebel against the British presence. All this doesn't add up to a PR job for the British because we're all very well aware of the cons of British Rule but objectively we know that's not the whole story. In history we need to see that the past is a done deal which we should examine in all its aspects, pros and cons.
The lag in Dire Dire Docks is because the collision for the submarine (which is either 200 or 700 triangles, i can't remember) is recalculated every single frame. O2 is like a bandage to the overarching issue.

The only real cause for lag in SM64 is that the RDP graphics chip has a fixed rate for how many pixels it can draw per frame, and that's quickly filled up by large triangles, transparency, any 2-cycle effects like fog, overdraw, etc. (and that's not even taking texture loading latency into account)

That drops the U in UBI, most it’s merits, and creates a poverty gap.

UBI only makes sense when it’s universal. It makes most sense when it replaces other entitlement programs.

I don’t think UBI is necessarily doomed to an inflationary spiral, but the onus is on its proponents to prove otherwise.

Come up with a scheme that won’t become a bread and circus, and wont cause inflation, and I’m all for it!

But I’d rather just smash the machines (that’s ultimately what UBI aims to solve) and solve the automation problem by giving ppl the dignity [1] of work.

[1] my local grocer employees a few folks with Down syndrome at the cash register. They’re super slow, but otherwise good at their job. I love them. They value their job so much, and they have by far the best attitude. Their job gives them the dignity of knowing that they aren’t mere consumers, but also (in their limited way) contributors. That’s very powerful for the soul.

Yes, nowadays Bitcoin is just a shell of its former self. It simply is not practical for anything other than Tulip manias. That's incredibly sad. Practical usage of Bitcoin doesn't even compete with the speculation beyond transaction capacity. If anything speculators would prefer an economy built on Bitcoin that actually guarantees that it's more than just an instrument for speculation.
Just FYI, most dependent type systems don’t typecheck when a parameter to a type constructor is a function, since they can’t “deduce” very much about a function except its signature. They can take proof
objects (including objects involving evaluated functions, like ‘n % 2 = 0’) but not functions by themselves (like ‘loop {}’).

This isn’t a technical problem with unification, the issue is a fundamental conflict between “intensional” versus “extensional” equality. Wikipedia has a good example that communicates the underlying confusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensionality

AFAIK all depedently-typed general-purpose languages use intensional equality since it’s consistent, but there are proof-checkers that use extensional dependent type theories (inconsistency is less of a problem than you might think, and actually makes some higher-order topology and set theory much easier to program).

Thank you for adding the links!

The main difference between these clients and SwiftGraphQL is that SwiftGraphQL tries to abstract away GraphQL in favour of Swift language feature.

`relay-swift`, for example, relies on query strings which doesn't bring type-safety to your code;

`graphaello` is indeed very similar and I've tried using it before creating SwiftGraphQL. One of the goals of SwiftGraphQL was to let you easily separate the model from your queries. That's why we let you do complex logic in the selection itself. Otherwise, you'd have to first create a utility struct and then translate it into a model-type. I think that's the main difference between graphaello and SwiftGraphQL

Thanks again for sharing the links!
Yup. Also, there is no exhaustiveness checking (the constants we chose to define for SumChoice(0) and SumChoice(1) mean nothing to the compiler anyway - exhaustiveness checking would have you test any possible int, since SumChoice is simply an alias for int).
Institutional programming to react to SARs is one reason. Those countries enacted lockdowns quicker and had government agencies to properly regulate ventilation in public environments.

Western governments simply didnt have the ability or the desire to regulate ventilation and, at the beginning were prioritizing keeping the economy running (ironically enough).
Government doesn’t have to suck. Nor is good government and central planning incompatible with democracy or markets.

> Google what MARTA stands for to white southerners. And it’s not just a joke - in Atlanta, until very recently, proximity to a train station would suppress the value of your home!

I lived in Atlanta, and I’m aware of that. Contrary to your theory, Atlanta is actually one of the better-run train systems in the country. (Stellar on-time performance, isn’t suffering from the maintenance apocalypse of the DC Metro system.)

But that’s totally different here in DC. Living near a metro station has been a big plus ever since we moved to the area. My dad used to take the Metro to Arlington from Vienna, starting in 1989. Nearly everyone on those trains were college educated professionals. But the DC metro has been a disaster budget and maintenance wise. They had to shut down the self-driving feature (which made rides extremely smooth) because the support infrastructure had been allowed to decay. And it’s not for a lack of funding.
This is a header-only library, so the code must be compiled in “C++ mode” to be used in C++ projects, requiring the C++/C89 subset in this case.
Ok so that explains a lot, and has nothing to do with Windows 10 as a whole (which has a separate N edition as every Windows since XP).

I've been involved with hiring (although at a company that's far from a household name), and the second half at least, sounds perfectly reasonable to me. They've taken the stuff he claims to know in-depth and explored it. That's the perfect place to dig deep.
