I think you've got number 3 backwards. GraphQL is a generic query solution that is harder to optimize than an endpoint that was built as a one-off for a front-end use case. Endpoints designed to support a specific UI view or operation are easy to optimize because their use case is narrow and the queries can be modified simply and safely. There might be more ceremony, but it's much more maintainable in my opinion.

ADHD is a developmental condition which is highly genetic and relates to neurotransmitter brain chemistry (Dopamine / Norepinephrine). People with ADHD have it their whole life, it's not something you can develop in adulthood. However, people can be (commonly are) diagnosed in adulthood, especially for the inattentive subtype which has less outward symptoms.

What can change or develop over time is the life circumstances that a person with ADHD finds themselves in. Circumstance can make the difference between ADHD being a disorder with significant impairments vs a joyful and creative existence.

Situations which demand executive function, like putting down that mobile phone or closing youtube in favor of doing something more productive are much harder for people with ADHD. The market built by the tech industry to transact human attention for profit certainly hasn't helped here.

Here's a good brief overview of ADHD:

I agree we can't just assume "wealth inequality" is inherently bad. That would imply that perfect wealth equality is the goal, which a number of communist and socialist government experiments have demonstrated to be a poor ideal in practice. My metric is that it should roughly match human skill at allocating capital / generating value in a free market. The closer we get to this metric, the bigger the overall pie should end up in the long run (and the better we can feel about people who have big pieces).
This is a very low effort, unsourced listicle, that is probably wrong on several points. Disregarding that, I was more curious about how this particular person managed to get hospitalized.

Blake is a maverick I found partly thanks to Philip Jose Farmer's filching of characters for his entertaining fiction.

For some reason I appreciate him as I do, though diferently, Hieronymus Bosch - another maverick, whose details can be studied for hours.

The Tate Gallery in London has extended into a new South Bank building for Tate Modern, filled with plenty of XX Century cleverness.

Blake is still housed in a out of the way little attic of the original museum, now named Tate Britain. I advise a visit.

Not the first time I've said this but it's highly unlikely that we'll detect technological civilizations through radio emissions. We've had this kind of radio emission but it's incredibly brief so for Earth, you'd have to be listening for a few decades over the billions of years Earth has existed. That's incredibly unlikely.

The far more likely detection method is IR signatures, specifically from Dyson Swarms. A Dyson Swarm is not a rigid sphere (a confusion caused in part by the original name "Dyson Sphere"). It is a collection of orbitals with the intent of making full use of a star's energy output. The beauty of this is it's all rather low-tech needing little more than solar power, stainless steel level materials science and (this is the big one but is an engineering problem not a science one) getting access to basic raw materials.

Just like a cloud looks solid despite being water droplets, a complete Dyson Swarm would be the same. The visible light would be blocked out.

But here's where the IR part comes in. The only way to dissipate heat in space is to radiate it away. A habitat will have to do this. At any reasonable temperature the signature of that radiated heat is as IR radiation determined by the temperature of the radiating object. That's physics.

So if you see stars with low visible light output but shines like a beacon in the IR specturm (comparatively) that's a good candidate for a Dyson Swarm because stars don't otherwise look anything like that. This is what makes any "Hidden Aliens" type scenarios rather implausible. You just can't hide these things.

Let me add this perspective: on Earth we consume (IIRC) about 10^11 Watts of energy. The Sun's energy output is in the order of 10^26 Watts. It is almost unfathomable what you could do with that much power. That's using humanity's entire energy consumption about every 30 nanoseconds.

So what's more likely: 1. Detecting a few decades of radio emissions or 2. the IR signature of what would likely be millions of years?

So I applaud any investigation into the wow! signal just like I do of FRBs. We should understand likely causes but technological life? It almost certainly isn't.
> it is unreasonable to consider the only risk of US debt to be default and you have to consider the inflation loss.

The Fed mandate says "stable prices AND maximum employment". It says nothing about setting the fed fund rate in a way that enables investors to earn money from lending to an entity which has a zero default risk.

They set the rate and investors use that as a reference point to calculate the rate of everything else, starting from the security which mostly resembles the overnight Fed fund rate : the US. Treasury with the shortest duration which if I recall correctly is the 4 weeks US Note.

When investors are very scared it happens that they get very defensive and pay the Fed govt. for the privilege of parking their money in US Treasuries. It makes sense even, you only have to get rich once and if you are born in America you are essentially already rich the moment you are born (on a global basis), the desire for capital and wealth preservation has steadily increased over time and the Federal Govt. like any borrower is taking advantage of this thirst for safety from investors at home and abroad, this phenomenon actually reduces the Federal Debt which was a huge topic of concern circa 2011-2014.
I wonder if ingestion of relatively large amounts of robust probiotics would have helped. I've tended kefir grains off and on for the last 20 years or so, and have read that the curd that forms from kefir remains intact a bit deeper into the GI tract than e.g. yogurt. Some people eat the grains themselves which seems like it would be a large, robust colony of mostly helpful bacteria that I assume would fight for territory against c diff.

Reminds me, it's probably time to source some more kefir grains!

I think the last couple years have been especially bad. We've had a pandemic that isn't 100% over that removed a lot of the non-Internet interactions from most people's lives, we have a major land war in Europe now that could turn into a civilization-ending nuclear war at the drop of a hat, we had a contentious election in the U.S. about a year and a half ago that culminated in the Capital being ransacked, we've had ongoing droughts, wildfires, and heat waves that will probably just keep getting worse, we have supply chain disruptions, and so on.

It's really no wonder people are paying attention to the Internet, because at any moment some new calamity will be upon us. (It was kind of also true for me during the Trump presidency: I felt compelled to check the political news multiple times a day as if somehow my personal supervision and online comments would keep Trump from doing anything too crazy.) I've started to wonder if I'm exhibiting ADD-like symptoms, and I'm also wondering if it's not just me, that it's happening to most people at the same time.

Maybe things will go a little bit back to normal as in-person social interaction ramps back up. (I'm in the Portland area. Here, Covid restrictions are basically over but a lot of people are still operating in a pandemic mode. We've just now been allowed to work from our cubicles again, and only a couple of my coworkers actually do it on kind of a once-a-week cadence.) I don't think things are going back to anything like what I'd like to think of as normal, though. The world's just a really turbulent place right now.

Rather than looking at the overall situation, which is not useful and only encourages making bad, FOMO-driven decisions, just evaluate the offer in your own personal context. Can you afford to take a risk of losing a great position in a year or two if everything goes bad? Are you comfortable with the stress and uncertainty involved? Do you think the company has a good chance at 'making it'? I think if you answer those questions for yourself, you'll know what to do.

Nobody said anything about Bill Gates, microchips, or the devil.

That's just hogwash that liars like you roll out to silence debate and prove that their viewpoint is the only intelligent one and therefore the only one we shouldn't exterminate people for holding.

The truth is that the J&J vaccine was previously determined sufficiently "safe and effective" that people should be mandated to inject themselves with it by the FDA and, now that they've vaccinated almost everybody, the very same FDA is saying that actually they lied and it's so unsafe and so ineffective that people shouldn't be allowed to inject themselves with it.

When you're past the denial stage, you're already halfway there. Glass half full and such.

From the blog it is clear that the real problem is a lack of a meaningful physical/social life, as the person indicates they have no friends, hobbies, etc.

Therefore, none of the tips on cutting down screen time are likely to address the fundamental issue. If you free up time this way but have no better purpose for this time, you still end up in the same spot.

So you need to rebuild your physical/social life and I have a solution at hand: volunteer work.

An animal shelter is incredibly fun and rewarding work. Another thing I tried is to help out the elderly. Where I live you can volunteer to "walk" them. You can chose the commitment in hours per week. These people are very old, typically lonely, and immobile. So I go outside with them, push the wheelchair whilst chatting with them.

I figured this would actually kind of suck, a job nobody wants to do. I was totally wrong, it's awesome. They are so incredibly grateful and the chats are tons of fun. They're full of stories. In case you're socially awkward (I personally am not), this is a safe way to practice just making casual conversation.

The great thing about volunteer work is that you will be universally accepted and LOVED, there's no anxiety of being rejected like you might have in making new friends.

The reward is infinite. I'm a stoic but truly there is nothing in this world more rich and rewarding than the response you get from helping others. You can see it in their eyes. This tiny commitment from your side means the world to them. A beacon of light in darkness.

Your work changes lives and you get to feel good about yourself. Your time has meaning and you have meaning. Volunteer work is also a great proxy to get to know the community, make new friends, etc.

Do it. Look it up in the local directory and just try it.
Not looking to actively bash anyones work here but I’m really confused on the value proposition here over something like gRPC which has a lot of substantial advantages from speed, to wide cross language support and has been battle tested in the most extreme scaling scenarios possible.

A truly huge amount of time, money and optimization went into a project like that and has been proven to work well for years now.

The JS ecosystem confuses me with things like this regularly just the other day I was watching a video where the lead devrel person from Vercel was trying to explain “edge functions” to a senior backend engineer that started falling apart under the most rudimentary questioning so much so that in the video they have this awkward hard cut and they rush to wrap up the interview. Link if anyone is interested https://youtu.be/yuxd2kurpzk

This gives me kind of similar vibes in that I just don’t really get the use case here unless it’s to intentionally stay strictly in the JS ecosystem for some reason?
I use it to share certain activity photos with a small group who aren't on Insta/F (like me). For that, it's great. No expectation that it'll be around forever -- it's just real time photos of us on vacation in a way that doesn't bombard Messages.
the... same deal the EU currently has? Yes, that's ratified.

Both with the EU and the UK. Because that's what the "continuance" was.

Canada _does_ have a trade deal with the EU, there's a more comprehensive Free-Trade (IE; not just a Trade agreement like the UK's) one that's on the table since 2016 but is actually already in active use, despite not being officially ratified.

But that's different to the one that the UK has "continued".
The original title An approximation to determine the source of the WOW! Signal seems to fit the limit just fine.
In a world w/o rent control, how do you imagine things playing out here? If the landlord lowered rates now and got tenants (without rent control), then demand rebounds, does the landlord then increase the rent again? Wouldn't that put a lot of the new lower-rent renters back out on the street?

Anyway, the OP's point stands: there are perfectly good homes going empty. They aren't out in the woods. They are right here in SF.
I really dislike blogs/articles/publications that don't have a publication date prominently placed for the reader. This, at least according to the wayback machine, is from at least October 31st, 2021 -- Although I seem to remember reading it before this date.

It really does the reader a disservice by not giving them the temporal context in which the words were written.
Same. I have a Kindle Basic (great for reading, bad for pretty much everything else). It can fit my back pocket, so I put it there whenever I go out. Every waiting moment is an occasion to read a few pages of my current book. I've also disable cellular internet on my phone, so it's always the best distraction instead of going to Twitter or Whatsapp status.

The "right" way to fix this is by reducing car-dependency - better public transit outside of metro areas, less subsidies to gasoline, taxing car makers to cover for externalities - and not by instituting policies that can be used against law-abiding people.
We might be running Linux, yet it has so many virtualization layers on cloud infrastructure, user space stacks to workaround switching to kernel, with microservices for everything, that it is effectively a monolithic kernel being bended into a microkernel one.

Same thing with Python, those business succeed despite Python, and when they grew it was time to port the code into something else, or spend herculean efforts into the next Python JIT.
Ooo, you're giving me LaTeX vibes!
Any civilization that realizes that they are not alone quickly stops bleeding RF signals to outer space, or at least learns to mask them as natural.

Chances that two civilizations, if they detect each other, would be on the same level of development are slim. And once a less technologically advanced civilization meets a more technologically advanced one, game is over soon. Ask Aztecs, or Sioux, or pick any other historical example.

> Somebody's reaction to the color blue is probably socially constructed, like the author suggests.

On some level this is obviously true. The important question is on what level? Blue being male coded, socially construed. Blue being perceived as colder probably not, which leans me towards sadness association being real. Something to test.

On a related note I listened to an Agnes Callard podcast we here she used small girls as examples of experts, on prettiness, as that’s the thing they care about disproportionately much. Thus the fact that they agree pink and purple are the prettiest colors is evidence this is in some real way true. I thought that was interesting as my son’s favorite colors at the time were purple and mauve. He’s now moved on to pink. I’m persuaded that something like an objective ranking of color pleasantness exists. Obviously you can self-modify to like things, like architects self-modify to find Brutalism and other crimes a against beauty good, or how people grow to like coffee.

That doesn't make sense to me.

Chesterton's fence is about explicitly removing something. You can't implicitly invoke it.

What you're describing is a lack of explicitly removing things. Chesterton's fence does not apply here.

Beyond Limits: A Conversation with Professor David Bohm
The two big features I see brought up are:

1) Front-end devs can often write novel queries without involving back-end devs, if querying existing data types.

2) Clients can request only the fields they need, rather than requesting giant payloads only to use a couple of fields.

Since GraphQL is a bit more standardized than REST, client libraries can offer other features like optimistic updates, intelligent caching, and offline reads.
So, I’m curious for the more legal minded HNers — To what extent can a court order non-parties to do stuff? How do such things get challenged if someone doesn’t want to comply?

Also, does this differ in other countries like the UK?

After 72 generations on a ship, it’s possible the occupants won’t even know they are on a ship (fictionalized by Brian Aldiss in the excellent book “Non-Stop”).

And if they know they’re on a ship, why would they leave? After all, it is home and will have been for ages.

How could a game not have a "conflict loop"?

Even Minecraft in Creative god mode has the "conflict loop" of "am I creative/smart enough to build something cool in this sandbox?"
I think this is really different in other countries.

For example here in Czech republic we have lot of reasonably cheap hosting companies and whole backyard industry of small companies and individuals willing to create website for you.
