Lack of strong evidence is not strong evidence of lack. Subtle effects like "well-being, creativity, and cognitive function" can be quite hard to track, and there are confounders galore.
If they can't enforce their decisions, they're not really making decisions. GP was implying that regulating speech meant "truth" and "lies" would depend entirely on which political party happened to be in power at the time. But we already live in a society in which speech is regulated, and that doesn't happen. Trump tried as hard as he could, but every lie he spouted was still pushed against, much to his dismay. He convinced people who already bought into the party line, but no one else was forced into accepting or spreading his point of view.

Freedom of speech still exists where debate, conflict and truth discovery can still occur. Regulating speech mediates free speech, but doesn't have to eliminate it. The marketplace of ideas can accept that some ideas are not worth keeping.
I assume there’s a row or column that this applies to in their sheet. So I’m suggesting instead of having some regex applies to check the values. Just setting the entire row or column to text would resolve the issue.

Web forms allow social media sites to capture bare phone numbers and store them in other places than just for authentication services. The places they store these numbers are often exposed to the public and to partners for a fee, along with personal data, which regularly is connected to other personal data on each account user. 2FA does not keep your account secure, and is just a bogus ploy to get your phone number, by social and other platforms) if most of your personally identifiable information on a site stores can be scraped ALONG WITH YOUR PHONE NUMBER, as it was, from a social media site (Which is exactly what happened in the original article cited).
However, there could be a really nice language emerging from the swamp.

Arrow notation, destructuring, functions as first class with underlying lambda calculus semantics (as opposed to lisp), async/await, back tick templating - strong features. Just need to get rid of the old cruft. Typescript and friends seem a good first step towards an implicit type system.

Assuming it's about https://allaboutberlin.com/tools/tax-calculator you can have a few canned answers like

> I can help you to use my tax calculator estimator, but for more complicated task you probably have to ask a tax advisor. For example, there is a list in [link]

Also, don't answer instantly. Apply exponential backoff. Just delay the answer a few days even if it's trivial. (Gmail has a delayed sending option :) , but I never used it yet.)

Another trick is to just repeat the same polite answer, like

GraphQL's primary feature is enabling data exfiltration for bad actors
> If you have an rest api which returns an object with 6 properties. And a graphQl scheme which returns those same 6 properties. You’re not saving anything.

You aren't thinking big enough. We have a graphql API where we have a bunch of enterprise users all wanting to pull out different types of data. They can decide what they want to get, and pull exactly that data. They want access to different tables, fields, and for different purposes and with different filters. We don't have to be involved, we just give them the schema.
Great point about the financial implications. We implicitly recognise how weird transactionality is in “normal” relationships so we’re going to AI and web3 to make it possible to layer on the transaction, not to our own benefit.

Sounds to me like you just peer-reviewed it! We all appreciate your contribution to science.
When he says "various google sheets" it sounds like new ones are occasionally created so you would have to do that each time a new one is created. It's extra friction which you can easily avoid.

IME GraphQL is kinda great on the consuming side, but the complexity and maintenance overhead of query resolvers can outweigh the benefits. I agree that it makes sense to look elsewhere first. For example, react-query can solve many of the problems GraphQL aims to solve (eg overfetching), without the downsides.

Like I sais in a sister comment: certainly. The difference is that you may have something like 10% of crackpots at the university (in science), when that number is a strong 100% in pseudoscience/voodoo/religion etc.

> In many countries you can study Homeopathy in the university. Is that a professor you should trust?

Absolutely not. In order to be a homoeopath, at least in France, you have to study medicine. Then some of the graduates who apparently were mostly partying when studying go for that and this is why I always double-check what my MD prescribes. She is really great but I have a limited trust in everything.

But see, I have a PhD in physics and I have been running the skeptics branch at my university. So again I am special.

> The list of food that babies can not eat before they are one year old changes from country to country, and even from one medical doctor to another. Find a few friends abroad and compare.

My children were raise in three countries (one in Asia, two in Europe). I've seen that but these are nutritionists - a branch of "science" that is at least laughable. A friend of mine who is a tenured professor in nutrition, when she was doing her PhD, asked me to review the statistics. I could not - it was such rubbish, and she was such a good friend that I told her to find somebody else or just give up - the people who will be reading her thesis are as clueless as she was regarding statistics.

> What if a military expert tells you that a normal looking truck is a secret mobile factory of weapons of mass destruction? Should you invade?

> What about cold fusion, aka low energy nuclear reactions

Cold fusion popped up, and then disappeared when more people started to test it. I was studying at the time this happened and I think it went on foe a month or so. And then nothing - exactly because the scientific community called bluff.

> At one point people must choose the expert to follow.

As you see I agree with most of you points (and I guess you have a scientific background because of the (very good) examples you gave. But I do not see your point.

You need to give a simple rule for the general population. Between choosing the scientific community that sometimes fail and the bozos in pseudoscience I say - blindly trust science.
It's not applied very uniformly though. The ongoing glysophate debate is a good example, there's reason to believe it's harmful in several ways and yet banning it doesn't look set to happen anytime soon.

We'll I do and I'm gen z, although I've inherited that from my mom. If not for her I don't think I would care about bookstores at all. Not a lot of the people I know read books these days, it's been replaced by TV, YouTube, and video games. Not that that's inherently a bad thing (there's plenty of good, thoughtful content and plenty of mediocre, dopamine filled content - just like with books) but it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Ultimately I think I spend too much time on these kinds of things anyway, and would rather spend time making something. I tend to find more enjoyment from actively creating rather than passively absorbing.
Twitter requires a phone number to use it. You can make an account without one, but this account is very soon going to get locked until you submit and verify a phone number, even if you just follow a lot of people. On some level I understand this, even following people sends a notification, and some people do use this for spam. And yet I wonder whether instead twitter could just not show these notifications, until, based on the users activity, it's certain that it's a real human, and not a bot.
That's awesome. Glad to see your method worked. If you ever have a chance to encounter a serious mathematician, they can probably give you the proper name of it. Or perhaps we'll have to name it the Yarg integral :-)

That’s a great use for graphql. My issue is toooo many people are building web apps with graphql where they are the only consumer. They are not getting any of the benefits of graphql, especially bandwidth savings.

If you have many people integrating and you in vision the types of integrations needing very different queries for data then graphql is great.

But most companies are a website, maybe some mobile stuff, and not enough traffic to warrant the complexity or benefits of graphql.
Not sure what you mean, I added the expected resulting GraphQL queries and they're about the same size. They aren't really normal queries, because I'm trying to exercise all of the features at once in the tests :)
Those aren't valid expressions. It's when there aren't any numerals after a letter, then the letters can be interpreted as variables and the numerals coefficients (for each term separated by a subtract).
To me it sounds you don't really know why it's not a good idea, but you are just annoyed by the phrasing of the feature request.

So my advice would be:

1. Relax.

2. Take the emotion out of the equation.

3. Actually try to think about the feature request and why you will or will not implement it.

4. Calmly explain your reasoning based on rational grounds.
Do they use a debugger as a tool of first resort? Do they step through their code line by line?

One of Carmack's points was that gdb's terrible interface has made debuggers a tool of last resort in the Linux/open source world, when they should be a tool of first resort, and code should be stepped through even before it's run normally because that's how you get a clear picture of how it runs. Visual Studio's excellent debugger integration alone has made the open source development experience truly "stone knives and bearskins" by comparison until relatively recently.

Well, at least I'm glad I know I'll never be working with you!

I'm not giving you shit because you don't like GraphQL, I'm giving you shit because of your asinine "if you use GraphQL your company is poorly run and a nightmare" comment.

Whenever I see a comment from any developer that says "If you use technology X then you are an idiot", then I know that developer is either incredibly junior and doesn't understand the tradeoffs in choosing any technology, or they're showing typical "if you don't like what I like than you don't know what you're doing" arrogance that inevitably always makes it a pain in the ass to work with that person.
Yes. The maximum of the RHS is not the minimum of the LHS.
If I think it's actually a good idea, I tell them I'll happily accept a pull request. I've had dozens of feature requests but only once has someone actually taken me up on this.

If I don't think it's a good idea, I'll give reasoning why and close the issue. If they reopen the same thing I'll ban them. Very simple.
Curious as to why you hate it specifically. Because what you could be doing is exposing every table / field automatically based on permissions (which you could set up a system where you don't even have to be involved).

I have no idea how libraries decide on how many copies of a book to carry. I assume they have some sort of metrics or formula they learn in school though. If there are an librarians on HN, can you share what, if any, calculation in done for this?
That doesn't mean he's wrong.

$400k and also -$400k is created ex-nihilo by the bank, balancing to $0.

If the bank just created $400k and you paid it back and it made $400k profit plus interest for printing that money, then they would be much more aggresive in giving you a mortgage, in fact you would see negative interest rate loans, because if they give you the $400k from thin air, and you only pay back $40k real money, they still make $40k profit! Hell they would probably just go around buying houses from other banks in circles in a scheme a bit like modern web3 defi wrapping all sorts of coins and reselling them.

Don't be too quick to dismiss the "training wheels" of AVR.

While ARM and RISC-V may have beefier processors, and will probably be migrated to or adopted, AVR has a lot going for it.

First, a common AVR board like the Arduino Uno has built-in peripherals like a temperature sensor. You can build something out of the box without buying external items. If your target market is cheap educational, that's key.

Second, it offers basic microcontroller features like power management, external interrupts, serial and other stuff.

It provides a terrific cheap platform to understand managing interrupts and concurrency safely in your language of choice. Which can be applied to the bigger boards.

Finally, memory constraints require careful thinking through code. I'm not going to implement a full standard library on an Arduino AVR, so what do I bring with me?
It's a good thing to keep in mind: if you really want someone who you're pretty sure already disagrees with you to at least entertain an alternative viewpoint, being clever isn't the way. Simple, straightforward and polite is the best point of entry.

If they're willing to pay attention, then you can try introducing some complexity in a more intelligent manner. Note the word 'clever' has a lot of negative connotations - highly manipulative people are generally described as 'clever'. Consider also the phrase 'too clever by half' - it's a way of stating that someone isn't trustworthy.

> Why pointing out something that is a distinguishing feature of open source?

Because users exist who are:

- clever enough to use github and open an issue

- not clever enough to know this is a possibility

- care about their problem enough to complain, but not enough to do something about it

By basically telling users "if you really care, you could do $labori tensivething" often they realize that they do in fact not care enough. And if they do, you could still use the fruit of their labour if it really turns out good.
I'm people who denied that Dual EC was a backdoor (my position wasn't an unusual one; it was that Dual EC was too stupid to actually use, which made it an unlikely backdoor). Dan Bernstein didn't educate me about that; like anybody else who held that position, the moment I learned that real products in the industry were built with libraries that defaulted to Dual EC, the jig was up.

I'm honest about what I'm saying and what I've said. You are not meeting the same bar. For instance, here you're insinuating that my problem on this thread is that I think NIST is good, or trustworthy, or that NSA would never have the audacity to try to bribe anybody. Of course, none of that is true.

I don't know how seriously you expect anybody to take you. You wrote 13-paragraph comment on this thread based on Filippo's use of an "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Meme", saying that it was a parody of "A Beautiful Mind", which is about John Nash, who was mentally ill, and also an anti-semite, ergo Filippo Valsorda is an anti-semite who punches down at the mentally ill. It's right there for everybody to read.

I think I already made the same point as you, ie that no narrative is the absolute truth.

You then say how my comment frustrates you. In fact, you provide a case in point about how easily things can be misunderstood!

You accurately quote what I said about evidence, but failed to provide the context from the preceeding remark, where I talk about the appearance of 'mountains of evidence'. I'm not sure if it is intentional, but I feel like you have cherry picked something too make your point, despite my intention!

Here is what I said:

> We really can't know how people lived a 1000 years ago, despite what might appear to be mountains of evidence. This evidence is actually the creation of historians in the past century... and when you look at their sources for yourself, you will see that they are open to interpretation despite being presented as fact.
