> GraphJin DOES NOT hook GraphQL straight to a DB. It is a backend service which in DEV mode saves queries to an allow list and in production on queries from this list are allowed to be run. GraphQL does not mean clients are allowed to change the query willy nilly in production that would be a nightmare.

Thats "straight to a db" by my definition. But I agree that saved/allowlisted queries are a key problem that needs to be solved in any prod environment, regardless of tooling you are using.

I'm not saying there isn't a use case for it, but I think there is a better solution 100% of the time. I am clearly not the target audience for this though, so my opinion is kind of irrelevant.

In my world graphql is a tool for aggregating microservices in to a supergraph, when you are at a point that a monolithic DB (or a couple of them) with data from lots of different domains no longer exists. In that sort of environment, which is an extremely common use case for gql, doing this to expose your domain data in a graph breaks microservice isolation patterns and directly ties your domain contracts to internal datamodels; both of which are almost always bad long-term.

If the problem you are trying to solve is "spend less time building http endpoints for CRUD apps", then something like graphjin is a win, but I'd argue it not a pattern you'll want to use forever. If you are using graphql to aggregate cross domain services in a large engineering organization, this is a bad idea.
Also sometimes people ask a question, but its not really a question, its a veiled invite to spar verbally. Indulging those remarks are aiding in your own abuse.
I don't disagree but at the end of the day how do you really plan to tame it if it's still a "niche" hobby in 10 year? Which I doubt a lot as Wall Street and other industries are starting to get quite involved in it now investment-wise. The practical approach from a government pov would be to regulate the hell out of mining businesses but nothing prevents me as a user to set up a mining rig at home and join a pool somewhere around the world. Look at China as an example. They still have 20% of their previous mining activity happening (after the ban) and they have the "best" surveillance system in the world. That's why I think fighting it is less productive than guiding it to use clean sources.
Sure. But they do actually do very impressive things. Generally people we write off as "grifters" do not actually produce anything of value.

And 10 years ago, the list of things they were merely purported to do includes many of the things that today they actually do. E.g. manufacturing EVs at scale, reusing rockets, etc.
I think you are right re: productized services. I don't want to go from employed generalist to contractor generalist. I've been an IT contractor earlier in my career and I felt it was just another form of employment, with certain advantages and disadvantages (ymmv). I had been thinking of pivoting out of generalism completely but perhaps productizing some aspect of what I have done/learned is worth exploring. Thanks
How do you take a cross country train and stop at Montana to do hiking ? Won’t your train and all your stuff on the train have left by the time you finished your hike ?

I imagine the train only stops for half an hour or so for long breaks…

As the Court sees it, there is no "gap." The legislature defined fish to include terrestrial invertebrates, including discussing one specifically (a snail).

The Court has to do something to resolve the issue. Either the legislature meant to include some but not all terrestrial invertebrates (e.g. snails but not bugs), or they included all (snails and bugs). The court went with the literal meaning of what the legislature wrote rather than drawing arbitrary lines without support.

What would you have them do instead?
Does that mean that they leave all the data out in some kind of a honey pot that everyone can access, but are fired if they do?

If they have the capability to see who is authorised for what to alert security, why not use that capability to simply not allow it in the first place? Why give people credentials to do something that they are not authorised to do if you can avoid it?
+1 hate when your companies HR tools use this crappy AI stuff and you are stuck trying to figure how in the hell to get help, spending hours and hours finding out how to get help because your issue wasn't one of the 3 things the AI was made to answer (and AI is such a generous term, its more like a dialogue game)
It's just an incorrect attribution. If there are no transactions, blocks will still be mined. If there are more transactions than can fit in a block, no extra blocks will be mined. If the transaction format changes so that more transactions can be included in a block, the energy usage doesn't change.

It's just a very obfuscating way to describe what's happening. Not only is it not a useful abstraction, but it actively leads you to wrong conclusions to talk about it in terms of energy use per transaction.
They do have a disclosure, but it is at the very bottom of the webpage.
The Prophet 5 was also a huge step forward. The combination of polyphony and many memories in a great-sounding synthesizer of practical size was a giant achievement at the time.

It was a really hot item for ages. I worked in a music store in the 80s that had a demo Prophet 5 in the back room which musicians would try and then place an order, which would take a few weeks to come through. One production team was so desperate to get a Prophet 5 that one member ran out the back door with our demo model, while the other guy plunked down a pile of cash and begged us to take the money and not call the cops.
We grudgingly let it slide, told them not to try that again, and the distributor had to scramble to get a replacement demo model for the store.
I later heard that the Prophet saved them weeks of time finishing a lucrative rush project, hence the desperate measures.
> And yet, a bumblebee is clearly not a fish.

A bumblebee is clearly an invertebrate.

The statute explicitly defines “fish” for the purpose of the power at issue as “a wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate, amphibian, or part, spawn, or ovum of any of those animals.” [Cal. Fish & Game Code § 45, emphasis added]

A bumblebee is, unmistakably, a “fish” under the applicable statutory definition. The challenge to the executive branch action here called on the court to disregard the express language of the statute granting regulatory authority.
This is awesome! Great work! I’m so excited to see more things being built with svelte.
I've had good experiences with hover.com
For games it can be frequency of transaction as well as amount that increases over time. I don't think either case is about being particularly thoughtful though. More a sign of that thing becoming more important in your life.

There are generously 2k transactions per block. Block reward is 6.25 bitcoins. A bitcoin costs $30,000 so the block reward is $187,500. Amortizing over 2k transactions, each transaction is worth a smidge under $100, before transaction fees (which as you point out are two orders of magnitude smaller so don't really matter here). $100 is about the average US monthly power bill, and it doesn't seem unreasonable that miners making use of the cheapest energy around the globe would be paying 2.5x less than that.

What you’re describing is basically the split between “liberal/conservative” (separate from the political usage) interpretations of law. Liberal justices don’t see themselves legislating from the bench but interpreting law as Do What I Mean instead of Do What I Say.

At any point the legislature is still allowed to correct the record and override the court’s interpretation by making their position explicit.

A miner gets like 6 bit coins for each block they mine. The transaction fees are just icing on the cake for them.
> The whole experience of having it in your system is dominated by the processes trying to get it /out/ of your system!

That is not exclusive to alcohol though. I am not extremely drug-savvy, but I do believe this is true for psilocybin mushrooms and a few other hallucinogenic plants/fungi.

> Folks who drink alcohol should consider taking safer and more powerful drugs.

This is often an issue with legality and sourcing for many, not to mention the cultural acceptance of alcohol by many cultures.
Chief Operating Officer in my case though I have other catch-all titles too. lol.
The title should be: 'Proof-of-work cryptocurrencies are worse for the climate than you think'. The author knows it as described in the footnote [0], but why not put in some clickbait anyway and hide the fact that the study they linked to are related to all PoW cryptocurrencies [1].

Not all cryptocurrencies are PoW like Bitcoin. XRP, Cardano, Solana, Polkadot, Stellar and Algorand to name a few with over $1B market cap are not 'burning the planet'. Maybe by that logic, every single car (including electric ones) is worse for the climate than you think. Is that a safe generalization? Does that mean you should stop driving your car, truck, etc? No.

Greener alternatives to petrol and diesel actually exist for such vehicles. The same is true for some 'cryptocurrencies' (coins) that have over a billion market cap which are greener alternatives to PoW cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

But nice try with the clickbait headline and sweeping generalization to all cryptocurrencies though. How comes this petition, led by many critics also know this difference? [2] They tried to ban mining in the UK and it appears to have failed to get attention and enough signatures for a discussion in parliament in the UK.

“fully” charged is a red herring, and foolish in practice.
My experience is like this:

• Go to the Epic Store

• Collect the weekly free game

• See that it needs a *40 GB* download

• Go away for now, because I do not have so much free space

• A few weeks later, after cleaning the disk, start the download

• Let the download run for a few days, like 10 GB / day, because my internet connection is slow (either that, or download it at the university)
No -- electrons travel at the Fermi velocity, which is about a tenth of the speed of light. You're talking about the drift velocity.

It's not so odd. Those people are willing to transact in Bitcoin because it's sufficiently secure against a 51% attack. So in a sense they're consuming the benefit of the overall network hashrate, even though the cost they pay is heavily subsidized.
Seconded. I live in NJ, too, so any trip to a gas station usually involves waiting quite a bit for a human attendant to pump my gas. At least I don't need an attendant to charge my EV! I don't need to swipe a credit card, I don't need to wait for a pump spot to open, and I don't need to listen to ads playing on a tiny speaker. The EV charging routine is so much better in every way than ICE. Another consideration is that I always have a full 'tank' in my EV, almost every single time I drive. There is no consideration I'll run out of juice during my commute or errands.
>Get rid of people who are either take too big risks, and people who don't take risks.

The alternative to getting rid of these people, is offering positions to them that better match their risk tolerances.
Back in the 2000s it used to be common advice to tell people never host anything with their registrar- your registrar should basically just be your registrar and nothing else. This way issues with your hosting (or email) can be resolved by changing providers. I think it's time to start handing this advice out again.
BIEVERY! THE WINNER in The Freshworks Refresh App Challenge
(Business Intelligence for Everyone)
The Freshworks' Refresh App Challenge allowed us to look at ourselves as entrepreneurs while imagining a solution we can build for customers and employee-facing teams with their developer platform!

The competition introduced credits worth $10,000 for startups and also $33,250 in prizes in Refresh App Challenge

This is a great news that a startup with name BIEVERY won in the category of Entrepreneurs. Winning this competition is the result of many years of efforts by BIEVERY team. The prize money will cover our expenditures for some time but we are searching for investors. We want to raise investment and also investor to become a part of our team which has already achieved a milestone by winning this competition. Here is the link to the competition results which includes our project with name BI4Freshworks which is an offshoot of BIEVERY solutions:

Welcome to BIEVERY! A brief introduction!

BIEVERY is needed to give the power of business intelligence to every one. From a buyer of a laptop to manager measuring the performance, we provide a service which can be used to create powerful dashboards in any BI tool for easy decision making. How this idea evolved?
Collaborating with DevOps and interacting with them for creating dashboards, an idea came up that APIs are sources of data. If we can turn the data generated from API into relational data then we can use BI tools to create the dashboards in no time. Any BI tool can act as a front end for data viewing. You can visualize relevant data generated from API’s in beautiful charts and data grids. You can filter data using controls available in BI tool. No need to trigger an application to dump data. You get updates sitting within the BI tool. A step towards connecting data residing in heterogeneous software systems. A complete picture in one place!

Literal same issue. I messed up the payments, got marked as some type of fraud, and have had no luck in resolving it
My bad, when you said "lengthy" I assumed you meant something more complicated than "install this game normally and then run this single patch executable". And you never mentioned Wine.
Unrelated but I'm wondering. Should I switch from bash to zsh, if so, why? It's taken me quite a while to get up to speed with bash, especially scripting. How steep is the learning curve?
On the topic of emulating old hardware, this reminds me of the Nintendo 64 VRU accessory, which is a mic + voice recognition that was used in games such as Hey You Pikachu. Nobody has emulated the hardware which performed the actual voice recognition, instead opting for modern VR libraries. So while you can use it in an emulator, the performed VR won't match what you'd get with the limited hardware implementation.

>This is an HLE implementation. I did not emulate the manner in which the VRU does voice recognition

If all people stop using bitcoin, the amount of electricity goes to zero.
I think e-commerce (AMZN) is a safe bet. And TSMC, with solid earnings and a market dominance that won't change anytime soon.
But, the only purpose of mining -- the whole purpose of the blockchain -- is to facilitate transacting.

So if the network can only do X transactions per day, and it costs $Y to run the network, it seems fair to use a "cost per transaction" to describe that inefficiency.

Kind of like how I could represent the total cost of ownership of a car (purchase price, oil changes, tire changes, big repairs, fuel) in terms of $ per mile, even though out of all those costs, only fuel is directly consumed by driving a single mile.

Your assessment has a name: power law!

> for them to publish this anyway means they did a pretty good job

The standard shouldn’t be “we did the best we can” for the sake of publishing. It should be “is what we’re doing useful”.

> I’m guessing this study will make some institutions think/rethink their guidance on coffee consumption.

This is the major issue with all these kinds of studies. The absolute last thing they should be doing is influencing public policy. Data that’s more or less garbage but you treat it like it’s solid because it’s “science” is harmful.
Nearly all books published in the last two hundred years are unobtainable.
Millions of books have gotten far enough to earn the backing of a publisher.
They have a small print run of say 100 - 500 copies.

If sales are dismal usually the books go on "regular" sale and if that does not work, then once a year the (Norwegian) bookstore dumps them out for $1 a piece.
If they still have not sold, they get dumped into a recycler and will never be read or seen ever again.

I love going to the yearly sale and buying books for $1 per book.

I do feel sad when I look at the bin.

All the blood, sweat and tears an author has invested into it.
Writing it, sending them out, getting rejected from publishers
but finally finding one that will publish it.
That must be a proud moment.
Becoming a "real" author with a published book.
Maybe getting recognized?

Instead, it becomes a sad tale of loss.
Seeing your book out there for $1 and still not getting picked up.

I have discovered a few books I got for $1 that I thought were great.
I note them in my blog and try to harass friends into reading it.

I have been scanning and putting out my grandfather's books.
Technically the publisher owns all rights, but I doubt they care anymore.
I am not saying he was a great author or that his books will be "discovered"
but at least they are available for free should someone want to read one.

It is my dream that a system can be made globally so that all books
published are made available for free online once some period time has passed.
For books that ended up in the recycler the publisher could let them be
published sooner.

The national library would put it out on their website and someone
can enjoy a few of them later on.

The cost of storing en ebook is cheap.
Granted storing millions is not that cheap but worth it to preserve
more of the culture and perspectives from the past.

The national library in Norway has copies of most books published after
some date. They are also allowed to, perhaps supposed to publish books online
(yay) once they enter the public domain. (yay).

The national library does not have the resources to follow up on it.
I talked to a couple of the librarians.

Someone needs to keep track of when a book enters the public domain.
It appears the rules surrounding that in Norway are a bit complex.
It would be helpful for them if the publisher sent them a signal when
a work enters the public domain, but they have no interest in doing that.

If someone such as I write a letter to request a book and someone finds
it worth their time to go check on it, they have to contact the publisher
and try to figure out what the story is.

A majority of books available digitally at the national library are
"streamable". They have a picture of each page. Often not a good photo.
A lot harder to read than an eBook.

They can in most cases if the publisher agrees to publish an eBook of it
but again, it is a question of having enough manpower to manage all of it.

Hopefully one day.
I agree 100%. My move is 12-18 months out. I'm ready for an income drop, just not to zero.
For me, the method of loci [0] is much more effective and efficient at storing long term memories. I have memory palaces still embedded that I can mentally walk through from over a decade ago, and I didn't have to spend days of time that I would have had to with spaced repetition. If I recall correctly, it took me only about an hour to put a palace into place, and after that, it's been there since then.

If you have aphantasia though, the method of loci will not help you but spaced repetition just might. Different things work for different people, of course.

While I can see how point-and-clickers love things like this, I prefer building connections using markup. So things like Graphviz, PlantUML, and Mermaid appeal to me. However, they leave a lot left to be desired in terms of simplicity. Wouldn't YAML or something similar be better at representing connections, and just have some markup options for types?

Such a shame the SGI engineers didn't try allocating more silicon to that tiny texture memory, this is perhaps (not an expert so don't quote me) the biggest bottleneck and annoying constraint in the system. It gets even crazier when you compare how much space the VI filter/blur takes on the silicon, removing it could easily allow for double the cache memory.
