Ah, true. I definitely misattributed this statement. For this I apologize.

> His comment argued it should all be able to handled in DirectWrite without using the alternative not that the alternative hadn't been thought of.

His statement was "it isn't worth it" and "we ready doing it via the framework we're using" to only state, a year later, [1] "We actually took the same approach Casey suggested" while insisting that "it doesn't help much".

If he'd heard about this approach before and seen it in, say, Alacritty, he has a very shitty way of showing it.

Indeed. It may not be a huge problem depending on how much data you need, but there are lots of cases where you'd really rather avoid refetching the rest of the root.

TBF you could also deal with it using fragments I think, but still, not great.

I will take openapi backed rest API (enabling type generation) over graphql any day. Unfortunately I am running into gql more and more these days.
Flow might be a trap, only because it's lost out to Typescript at this point.
Sure, that may be the case - but my point is that if French law allowed what I described, it wouldn't be looting, because France is a peer of the UK, as opposed to a vassal.
Given enough time abnormal becomes normal and everyone who couldn't fit in is selected out. Several thousand years ago agricultural societies were abnormal, but they allowed high population densities and were better at war so they dominated (except on the steppe).

When Henry Ford popularized the assembly line he had extremely high employee turnover. People didn't like working that way.

I think this might be the more important part. I am a firm believer that you do your best and most creative work under known and limiting constraints. With the constraints in place you couldn’t afford to NOT bring your half-baked ideas to the table.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Everyone else has to deal with the consequences of their actions, but when the same rules are applied to Assange, it is somehow a cruel and unusual outrage, and he is a saint that we've already determined could have done no wrong.
It's a market that needs to have preferential treatment for "first homes" and not for speculative hedge funds.
That's why there's a smaller plan (XCP-ng Standard, it's only half the price, for 5 machines it will be 3K).

But yeah, smaller infrastructure pricing is hard, because people tend to have less knowledge and requesting more assistance, so the cost is even higher on the company's side.

edit: also I don't remember trying to "adapt" or copy Proxmox pricing, since we're always convinced since the start to not make Open Core but true Open Source! And I respect Proxmox a lot for doing the same :)

Also the only information available to the developer when it was added in PHP 3 in 1997, good luck Googling that error. They didn't add the actual token to the error message until PHP 5.4 over a decade later.
I know this piece is mostly for the humor of increasingly arcane config generation systems, but given that Pulumi is attempting to displace the most popular application using HCL2, I find it interesting that the HCL example looks ergonomically awful.

The CUE support in particular looks fairly interesting, because I think it is going to end up being the universal translator for a bunch of these golang tools due to its ability to pull in types directly from code.

GraphQL itself is not a trap, but its easy to fall into the "object graph modelling" trap with it. You probably shouldn't do that unless you have a lot of resources to spend on it. I think "Graph" in the name is what leads people astray, as long as you stick to TreeQL one should be fine.

I agree completely, the only reliable way to quit using a smartphone is to stop carrying one.

The usual argument though is that giving money to "save lives" by improving health in poor regions, also helps bootstrap development in those regions by boosting their income generating capacity. So even improving productivity is something that might be a lot easier in poor countries.
You don't necessarily have a single SQL database behind a GraphQL server. You could have one of a mix of the above:

- Legacy internal REST APIs

- NoSQL Databases

- Various SQL Databases

- Some static text files

- Some REST APIs from a third party
I'd argue GraphQL really doesn't even solve that "mini-query-language" problem all that well. But, I'm with you; that's how its sold. Its one of the big things its proponents say. And it fails at it.

Let me pick on an example of one of these rest-api-mini-query-language specs: the Microsoft Graph API, which uses OData. It supports:

* Count (don't return items; return a count of them)
* Expand (graph traversal on related resources)
* Filter
* Format
* Order (sorting)
* Search
* Select
* Skip
* SkipToken
* Top
* A bevy of others

Of these; GraphQL solves Select and Expand. That's it. Everything else INEVITABLY becomes a pseudo-odata-mini-query-language on top of GraphQL; the exact same problem REST APIs had! Pagination. Skip/limits. Response reducing/counting/analytics. Filtering. Etc.

Of course, a framework has to stop somewhere. Lest you become OData, which isn't all that great to use. So, I'm not proposing that GraphQL should do more; but rather that its proponents need to stop listing this as an advantage of the framework, because its actually a disadvantage. Its only "good" at this relative to literally `npm i express`; the most basic-possible-REST-API. The REST & RPC ecosystems have a wide array of higher level tooling to select from, at every possible level of "nothing" to "everything and the kitchen sink"; GraphQL is startlingly boring in comparison, and proponents who list this as an advantage of GraphQL really aren't doing much more than admitting how little exposure they have in competing frameworks (or, similarly, how poorly APIs were built at whatever company they worked at last).

The issue isn't discord, discord is in essence just IRC again. IRC wasn't exactly a bastion of intelligent conversation in all corners, but one of the biggest issues I think the internet currently faces is that everyone is here now. Every brain with a thought no matter how vapid or vile is now joining the conversation.

But just like with IRC, it's all about the specific community you've joined, not the platform. You can definitely find good communities on discord.

If the roles are both equally necessary, why does the CEO make so much more than the secretary?

The CEOs entire enterprise is due to others. If anything explicitly highlighting that undermines the myth they’re the experts.

Both of your models rely on the CEO delegating to focus on the right state change for the business, so I’m not sure why you create two scenarios with squishy ideas of a CEO being efficient or slacking. Some CEOs have casual demeanors, others addiction to Adderall energy; neither is slacking if that’s just the vibe they need to “make it better.”

You seem to be circling the core meme it’s the CEOs job to improve the company and wrapping it up in subjective modals for doing so. Not sure how this refutes the article.

Everything you listed was based on existing knowledge and prior technology, sometimes combined from various sources in novel ways, but that isn't "truly new." Functionally, internal combustion engines are better steam engines, computers are better abacuses and telegraphs are better war drums and smoke signals.

The thing is, minimum requirements are flexible. If they're trying to fill out an empty coxswain role on their rowing roster then they will happily dip their requirements a bit, but they couldn't make those lower requirements the minimum & form a lottery based on them because they don't want most of those students.

Without defending them (I don't like how they operate) they couldn't control diversity through this method. Applications from students with very high GPA's & SAT scores are disproportionately from students from certain ethnic backgrounds, e.g., Asian students whose average SAT scores are roughly 20% higher than the population average [1]. In a case like that, I honestly don't know how to balance between equally qualified students having the same chance of being admitted vs. representative diversity. (Not that I think their current diversity levels are actually representative)

Sounds like a way to get more students who would've previously known they didn't have a chance to spend the application fee.

That was one of the worst parts about applying to universities for me over a decade ago. A few I knew I had practically 0 chance for, and then I still had to pay something like $50 each IIRC.

NHS Health Check is the equivalent of the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit. It's recommended every five years, starting at age 40, for people without pre-existing conditions.

For people with pre-existing conditions it begins at a younger age and is recommended more frequently, based on the determination of your GP Surgery.

You should get your first invitation to an NHS Health Check around the time of your 40th birthday.

I never said it's a stand-in for actual user studies. I said it's critical. You need both. User studies will never give you the broad, hard data you get from engagement tracking. They also won't give you as fast feedback. People have all sorts of biases in how they present themselves in user studies, and you should get that data and try to sift through it, but it's not a substitute for actually seeing how people behave.

Also, engagement tracking is actually really hard to do well, so it's definitely not lazy. But it definitely is shallow.
I should have said something novel and useful. Every scoop of dirt from the ground is novel, but that doesn't mean that shovels invented anything.
Is anyone on HN doing WordPress administration? I recently 'inherited' a webshop built on WP/WooCommerce, and all the conflicting security advice in the WP space is making my head spin.

There are a dozen competing 'security' plugins, with some saying 'you don't need any of them, WP is secure enough by default', and others saying 'you actually need ModSecurity [1] / Jeff Starr's nG firewall [2] on your server'.

The agency that (shoddily...) built the webshop installed Wordfence Free [3], so I've just kept that for now, though I feel it's kind of slow (but that might just be caused by the bottom-of-barrel performance of the shared webhost it's currently running on).

I cut out Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Facebook I left a decade ago, for its ethical issues. Instagram I left because I felt the performance aspect was unhealthy: even in my only-friends-and-family circle, I'd still care too much about picking out the perfect photo of my kid or wherever.

For Twitter I realized it was way too easy to get sucked down political/angry feeds. One day Twitter said my account has suspicious activity (maybe a bot tried to log in) and I needed to reply to an email to re-enable it. I never replied to the email. Somehow this meant that every time I followed a Twitter link, I'd get that alert, so I could never see content. I felt so much happier.

So, is the entirety of the US legal system illegitimate, or just the particular parts that will affect your hero?

Are you throwing the whole concept of trials out with the bathwater, or is Assange just special, and the rules don't apply to him?

The US legal system has problems, in terms of which cases it chooses not to pursue, and in terms of the deficiencies of public defenders, and long sentences. But these are problems that affect ~everyone else going through it a lot more than they will affect this golden boy.

Thank you for your reply. That's quite impressive, I've rarely ever come across someone who has studied at that many schools across so many continents! Do any of the programs you've studied at offer Bachelors in CS or Linguistics? That's what I would need first, unless there is a program to go straight through to the Master's.
This is why I wouldn't use GraphQL without something like Hasura, where a relational Db schema is used to automatically generate GraphQL and REST apis

Well, that's certainly an interesting algorithm I hadn't seen before. But code that can reconstruct a pasted paragraph from an existing table of letters isn't proof that my sentence already existed. Quite the opposite. It's just decomposition of something that humans created into smaller, discrete parts and then indexing those relationships. This is something software is very good at. It is not invention or novelty in the way I'm describing them.

It's hard to imagine one could have a philosophical disagreement about whether humans invent things and machines don't... but perhaps that's what we have! :-)

This is an extremely uncharitable take. If people are starving in your hometown, donating food to them will be very effective. If they're not, donating food to some other town where people are starving will be more effective. That's not moralistic, that's just efficient.

Separately, once people start thinking about effectiveness, most of them are forced to face some level of cognitive dissonance. If your beliefs say "Medicine for malaria victims in Indonesia is more important than sheltering homeless dogs and cats in Portland" but your actions say the opposite, yes, that is painful to face. But that's not EA's fault; cognitive dissonance is inherently unpleasant to examine, that's why people avoid examining it.

This is like saying that if someone you are considering for a technical documentation position has also written numerous books of poetry, you would consider that a red flag.

Likewise, if someone has written a blog full of recreational programming ideas while working full time in the industry, you'd consider the blog a red flag for inconsequentiality.

Why not also consider all hobbies red flags? I'm not sure that my rock climbing is consequential in any way. Isn't that a red flag that I don't completely buy into hustle culture? That I don't spend every waking moment thinking about how to impress you?

I'm not personally offended or worried that my entire life is one giant red flag for your hiring process, but I do suggest you are going to generate a lot of false negatives with the outlook your comment implies.

I'd say it's important to remember in the 1990-2000's - its been documented that the bulk of their Windows OS capability was selling to corporations through enterprise sales and support channels. Windows OS for consumers was a bit of a pull through, tag along. Zune perhaps was the first consumer first product launch which was less than a success. Ballmer just wasn't a great customer facing guy.

I think now (in the 2020's) they've put in a solid effort to shore up their cloud business and they have about a decade of experience with direct to consumer through Xbox and Satya Nadella seems more similar to Tim Cook in terms of leadership. It could be interesting if they seriously tried again in a commoditize your complement strategy - but perhaps that ship has sailed.
