it seems the maladaptive images of text thing is being used to work around the 140 character limit rather than any sort of authentication here.

it's pretty funny where you see this and twitter "threads" of like 14+ posts.

I saw a video explaining where if you attribute just 5% of outcomes to luck, then the people who have the best outcomes are among the luckiest people.

It's hard to define just how much luck would matter in any given situation, but if you consider every aspect of our lives as part of luck, which I think is what people mean when they debate luck vs hard work, then I think it's a lot higher than 5% actually. That is, things like place/time of birth, parents, family, socioeconomic status at birth, schools, friends, teachers, health, timing of things, chance encounters - these things are all mostly outside of your control.

Someone on hacker news might be thinking how they worked hard for years to learn software engineering, spent time networking, practiced interview questions, applied to several places, performed well in the interviews, and landed a lucrative job. And that's all part of hard work and it's often a necessary part of success. It doesn't feel like you lucked into anything. But the lucky part was mostly all the stuff I mentioned before - things that happened at birth, or things that happened because of others' actions. If you're born an affluent white American, for example, your luck meter is highly filled from the start. Then maybe at some point you had a teacher that helped you in a meaningful way, or you met a friend that influenced your decision making. And let's not forget there are people who are just as qualified, who study hard, practice, do all the same things, and they don't get the job. Maybe because the interviewer had a hangover, or maybe it was just someone else got in before them and wowed the interview team and made up their mind before seeing them. That's luck.

I believe this is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LopI4YeC4I&vl=en
> SATs and IQ tests are highly correlated.

GP already implied this with IQ-type tests. I’m not sure what you’re arguing with unless there’s a disagreement about brilliant, which in this context GP seems to be different from what IQ measures
From your school of thought, shall we say.

The singling out of state school graduates in that missive did seem rather strange (and contrary to observation).
Nothing comes out of thin air, as far as we know. My assertion is not something from nothing. It's something truly new and unseen. The idea that electrical transmission over wire is just a better smoke signal seems to deny the most basic differences between the two, or that there was any ingenuity or human contribution in the path from one to another.

Many animals have language, the chief instrument of intelligence. But no animals other than humans have put language together to make something new -- like buildings, roads, or power plants. Why is that? Why don't other animals evolve language that makes new things? And why do the things not evolve anything new themselves?

I think humans are unique and special. As I said, it could be my own bias from being one, but I'm gonna stick with it because -- in the practical world in which we live -- our position and role are unique and our intelligence can lead to truly new and unique outcomes which machines and other animals can't do on their own.
That seems ... fine? A monitor with low resolution or low pixel density is ... not HiDPI, right?

Other providers do recovery by asking for a "secret code" that was only transmitted to you when you first signed up, or you can tell them to put a passphrase on your account. The first is more like a recovery code (but smaller), the latter is a second password you never use for anything else.

Another solution is for users to upload identification documents when they sign up for the service. To recover your account, the service asks you to provide the documents again. This way it doesn't matter what the locality is, and you can provide literally anything (a picture of a duck!). Some providers have asked me to send a copy of my Driver's License before, but I don't think I had provided it to them before recovery, so that wasn't great.

A couple startups are beginning to build "identity" products that I imagine will cover a lot of this space. I expect soon there will be one company that everyone uses for identity, and then rather than be at the mercy of GitHub, we'll be at the mercy of Sauron's Eye.
To the former point, you’re saying it doesn’t make sense for GQL, I’m saying why fix what isn’t broken? Request level caching works great for certain needs. But I get your point that it doesn’t apply as directly for GQL and yes, people do have these needs also.

To the latter - at least with fetch, reading the response payload is a second blocking call after running the initial request. You can read the status with one less method. Amazing argument for pre-optimization? No, I get it, but it just feels like more overhead in practice to me at least.

I think the point has been made clear to me that there is definitely one or more use cases that GraphQL solves for better than REST, and it is still right to pick and choose the right tech for each specific job as it fits best.
It's worth mentioning that conscientiousness is a personality trait that's part of the "big five" personalities traits. It's a personality trait brouping that is supported by evidence [1] unlike Myers Briggs [2].

Sorry, that doesn't cut it at all. Far from it. Being able to cache a response is not the same thing as optimizing queries that hit your database. Being able to cache a response means not having to hit your database to begin with, and save up on things like traffic going into your database, and round trip time.

With REST APIs I can get a web service to return responses that are HTTP cacheable, put a nginx instance between the ingress controller and the web service, and serve responses to REST clients without even touching the web service that provides the REST API. I can even deploy nginx instances in separate regions.

What's GraphQL's response to this basic usecase?
I figured I'd get this from someone. ;) I'm approximating that 99% of people who use Windows use default terminals for built-in legacy shells, and thus effectively analogous terminology. You're correct though!

Remarks on Women Becoming Part of the Constitution (1988) [pdf]
That's because in Victorian times the lower classes often couldn't afford a meal at that time and had to subside on some tea and perhaps a slice of bread.

The use of "tea" for that meal remains a class signifier; my paternal grandmother used it, my parents did not (my mother, despite not being a native speaker, presumably is the one who eradicated it from my father's vocabulary), and yet I continue to say unwittingly say it occasionally though I now live in the USA. A vestigial Australianism in my case

It's definitely "non-U" in the UK, though that whole world is mostly gone.
The counterpoint is that we needed higher rates earlier to combat inflation before we had stagflation. My understanding is that with stagflation the better policy is to accept the inflation. Raising interest rates combats inflation but also contracts the economy. Contracting the economy during a recession is extremely dangerous. As in start talking about the D-word dangerous.

I think raising interest rates so aggressively now is poorly thought out and is going to bite us in the ass.
You are not wrong, although I don't believe this will be the death of Plaid. Their growth is certainly limited. Plaid should focus on improving their product. They made a mistake by not expanding into related product segments. Now they will have to directly compete with Stripe on product quality.
No one hates middlemen more than other middlemen.
I think about smoking almost daily, although I haven't smoked in 20 years.

We just haven't created anything remotely comparable to smoking that looks as cool, and fills that fidget hobby space in the same way. I used to love rolling my own cigarettes, and just the act of smoking. Was hoping some sort of vitamin nicotine free vape would fill the same void, but so far nothing has.
Unfortunately, I can still never look at these blog posts for more than a few seconds without becoming disturbed. Any time an animal (human or otherwise) is included in the image, it's terrifying--especially the hands/hooves/paws. Granted, I'm more phobic of monstrosities than the average person, but still. The technology has some distance to cross before I can call its output beautiful.
The website is a crypto ad making a big deal about the gold standard
There were a few points in my life where:

- I forgot how time could pass outside of internet. Days were flying in-house.. yet everytime I walked to anything 5mi away.. suddenly I felt like I lived a whole life yet only 1 hour had passed.

- It reached a point where when my ISP was failing, seeing the internet box being solidly offline dilated time in the blink of an eye. I had a giant "oh god yes." screamed by my brain because I felt free.. no more F5/refresh of stuff that only satisfied me shallowly and forbid mind wandering or in-depth activities. Stunning effect an electronic pipe..
The Fed is supposed to be politically neutral, that is, not acting to help one party or the other. But that does not mean that the Fed has no opinion on the effects of big fiscal decisions. It is perfectly within the remit of the Fed for them to suggest that a large amount of Federal spending would currently be a good idea, and that it could usefully be applied to some end.
It's not just a primary home exemption. No capital gains at all, so it's a huge incentive toward secondary home ownership as well.
Couple of anecdata to cool off fans of logging.

Imagine you develop in multiple environments and in prod costs of keeping logs can only let you have few percent of it. Guess what would be there? Right, most spammy message that no one of team leads would recognize as useful. Checking what actually is in logs in prod env is a hard work and usually no volunteers.

Logs can mask problems especially concurrency related. I dont want to give examples here to protect innocent but i can say in 20 years i have seen cases.

Logs can be huge pain in the neck of your performance analysis team. Especially if they have to use instrumented environment for their work instead of prod. Even "disabled" things that don't produce output might still be doing enough work to make any prod and qc environment results completely not comparable.

Logs can be pain in the neck of security and risk teams if you happen to put your code into untrusted hands. Logs often used for reverse engineering your smart solutions with ease. My particular experience with game clients is especially bad in this regard.

PS. My personal best logs in development let you track single element of data from a whole lot of others. It takes time and lots of work to design such logging in complex systems. I have not met many systems done like that. People tend to just spam everything and hope for the best with text filtering. Then the stories of crashing text editors while opening giga sized logs are born xD.

just my 2c.
As a happy Zerodha user since 2017, I agree with all of this. Even if the pandemic would not have happened, Zerodha would still be India's largest, most profitable broker.
What do you think your git repo is?
This! It's wild, so wild.
How difficult is to make a `yarn && yarn build`?

Also this is important to have a validated/tested environment to deploy your code (that's why a VM is really handy).

Regarding XO website, it was again for historical reasons when we sold mostly to Citrix (where the words "open source" was feared by those customers).

Now we got plans to have a better split between org projects and the whole "stack" to be able to compete with VMware (eg more commercial stuff on Vates website).

Again, most of what you see now is in transition before a clearer model since we have the whole stack control :)
>>There is also no shortage of area on land or sea that is otherwise useless to us.

1) Yet. There is not yet any shortage of land.

2) There are other users of land than "us". Few would want to chop down forests to make room for solar panels. Yet we will flood those forests to power dams. Put the solar panels somewhere with no animals or plant life. Don't assume that all this land is ours to do with what we please. It isn't.

You can't write off all lending that you don't see as "worth it" as a "penny box". We spend money on things like housing and cars because those things empower us to create and forge new paths ahead. Sometimes it's more of a liability we are putting capital in to--but we tell ourselves it's an investment. Likewise lending capital to acquire a company may have societal gains, to say nothing of the long term economic growth that this argument ignores.

Correct. Unless you are positioning the monitor further from you than normal. There is at least one person on this site who uses a TV at a distance instead of a typical monitor setup.

I can imagine people being a bit irritated about this.
I think that people underestimate what this feels like for the Plaid founder and potentially for Patrick too.

For Plaid you've spent your life building this business. Presumably there are many happy customers and you're working really hard to define the space and provide service. One morning you flip on your laptop and see a headline that one of your customers (and competitors) launched a new service that directly competes with yours.

As the founder of "attacked" company not only do you see the competition coming from a customer but from another "friendly" company in your space. Yesterday you were friends, today you're enemies. Doesn't matter who you are, this comes as a shock and it stings.

Worse still, when you show up on HN, a space that in the past might have championed your service, you are now met with comments about how your customers are excited to switch.

Showing up to HN and seeing your comrades immediately jump ship stings no matter who you are. And if you're Stripe leadership and you believe that you're playing an infinite game, then pissing off another similarly minded company (and supplier) isn't a good feeling either.
... or you could just log.

I don't understand the extreme attachment to interactive debugging that I see in some of the comments here. It's like people are so attached to this idea that they will do anything to make it work as each complication is added.

Furthermore, the amount of attention and manual labor needed to use a debugger effectively is just staggering. One mistake, e.g. you step over a function you should have stepped into, and you've got to start over.

Or you could just log.

Yes, writing logging code is no fun. But you don't even have to do it all at once. In fact, you probably shouldn't. I often found that I didn't know what to log until I had to investigate some problems turned up in integration testing. So I added logging to solve the problem, and then benefitted from it forever.
When I worked at Google, I made an App Engine Flexible runtime for the Whitespace language (only valid characters are space, tab, etc). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_(programming_langua...

App Engine Flexible was another one of these products that just needed a container that responded on certain ports, it was quite fun to get it working. But I ended up writing a tiny "compiler" that would compile a small subset of Python to whitespace since writing just whitespace itself was quite challenging, obviously.

I wanted to release it on April Fools Day but my manager was totally against it because April fools had become its own serious entity in the marketing org and he didn't want me stealing their thunder ( these days Google has dropped April Fools jokes altogether, I guess it got a little played out).
I have dealt with Stripe as a partner for my last three companies, and I do not trust them.

The core team was A+ and very reasonable, but the non-core folks would regularly lie and misrepresent themselves. I have to be careful about examples because I don't want blowback to my colleagues, but here's one: telling a third party that they should not do a hybrid Stripe + my_old_company solution because our product couldn't support the use case. But, of course, we had the exact product requested in market then, and the team in question knew that. It's fine to want to close a deal, and I guess some people lie to close a deal. But saying one thing to me and another thing to the world has happened many times with Stripe.

I don't know anything about this particular case, but it does match a pattern that I have seen firsthand.
Not the same degree! Its apples and sea shells.
This. This is VERY true. Pricing is capital if you want to have some respect. The worst "customers" are often those paying nothing or the cheapest price.
I've heard it as "breaking bread." I like the phrase. But yeah, it's essentially the same as eating bread, and it clearly refers to having a meal and is not limited to bread.
The SAT is out of 1600
Presumably, the website has a history or reputation (such as Stripe or Plaid’s official website). I guess Twitter might serve the same function, especially since this is a real person posting under their supposedly verified account, but I do not use Twitter, so for me, it is less easy to verify the source.

A better example is the tech emails twitter account that posts screenshots. How would I know if they are fake or not?

I would think a website with links to the source material such as the court filings showing the emails on a government website would be preferable.
I made the switch from Windows/Linux to one of the new M1 MBPs and it's been mostly great. But one of the most surprising things has been how poorly MacOS handles high resolutions. Windows has completely nailed it at this point with easy DPI scaling, and even Linux w/ Wayland is easier to reason about. But MacOS has very few options for playing with resolution/DPI, and frankly looks like shit on 4K 27" displays. I had to disable font smoothing via the CLI just so the text wasn't a blurry mess.

Correct! Instead of codegen, it relies on the TS language server to enforce schema compliance.
Yep. The freedom of choice created by microservices and developer tendency to play with everything under the sun and immediately rewrite tooling into it. Now you have people writing node alongside python alongside haskell alongside rust in the same org all talking to eachother via really inefficient http calls.

It’s not just that of course. It’s the entire web toolchain and build pipelines, SPAs, react,
node/npm, that entire community reinventing “SSR” and caching.

It’s the “modern data platform”
movement where people stop using databases and slap everything into
python and 10 layers of ETL and job queues and dags all so it loads into a cloud data platform with a separation of storage and compute at the end.

It’s all a bunch of crap is
my issue and why I call it a bubble. Nobody is solving actual business problems. They’re just creating tooling and then new companies to make that tooling less insufferable.

As one tiny example, how much of say Datadog’s revenue is coming from overfunded VC companies who have never considered cost or utility. Those logs should have been sent to /dev/null in the first place is usually the answer.
How does this compare to gRPC? That the wire protocol is actually http+json instead of binary? I wasn't able to find much on their website
Software architecture really needs to acknowledge the human aspect of building platforms. GraphQL is great solution to organizational problem of slow communication and/or misaligned incentives between frontend and backend teams. GraphQL is essentially a self-service approach where API developers can create a flexible, open-ended data access plane that end users can consume as they wish. That incurs a lot of extra technical complexity, but obviates a lot of organizational complexity. That could be a very valid concern if your backend is public or otherwise serves a really diverse group of clients.

The most efficient and effective API integration projects I've done is where the API and frontend teams are tightly knit, working off a shared backlog and able to pass a chain of requirements from design, to contract writing, to development on both sides and get really tight alignment. That lets us create very tightly optimized REST endpoints that are very cache-friendly and can deliver precise payloads to optimize both round trips and bandwidth. It's actually easier to build because requirements are really clear, but comes at the cost of doing all that communication to align on requirements.

Your idea about marketing might not be entirely correct. Sending out notifications on important announcements (could be regulation-related changes, acknowledging an outage, confirming that a trade was successful) is indeed for keeping the user better informed. Sometimes Kite also gives out notifications for new Finshots blogs - which again deeplinks to a web URL, not the app.

The "ads" you are talking of aren't really ads. They are partner startups who solve specific problems around the same financial domain. Like Sensibull, Quicko and all. I believe it's a nudge to the user to check out some of their partners (and often their invested-into startups) who happen to share similar philosophy with Zerodha.
We are just monkeys smashing buttons in front of us
