Great article.

Interesting:
With Amazon, it’s amazingly a bit easier, as Amazon has massive leverage with the credit card companies, and they also know that this is a big problem. Up to half of our returns through Amazon are fraudulent or at best unethical, and so when fraud does happen at Amazon, they are actually great about it.

Completely agreed. Without knowing the team experience, greenfield project or not or in general more information about the task at hand, how can anyone say GraphQL is good or not?

One thing I've noticed among some people who've failed to move up in their career is that they carry these extreme opinions due to a proper understanding or a bad experience. Right tool for the job and all that.

Personally I think that individual game designers were important when the whole game could be made by like ten or twenty people. Remember that in the seventies and early eighties, literally a couple guys could slap together a game and sell it (which pretty much led to the crash of '83, since there was a lot of garbage). This changed a bit in the 90s, but still small teams did a lot until around mid-2000s when everyone flocked to larger publishers and got reshuffled into mostly nameless studios. Plus, games up to mid-2000s often explored new territory and invented new genres—in the 90s, many gamers knew who made the three outstanding games of the year. Whereas these days, new stuff appears maybe two or three times in a decade, and then gets flogged to death by dozens of copycats.

Perhaps today it's just meaningless to name one or two people who ‘design’ the game, when most of it is concepts borrowed from the common pool of the industry, and the content proper is made by twenty designers.

Indie games are where the individuals are now. Jonathan Blow, Zachtronics, Zach and Tarn Adams, Toby Fox, Emily Short, Jason Rohrer—these kind of guys. People still not just buy, but fund games by Ron Gilbert because it's his games.

Kratom binds primarily to mu-opioid receptors. It's a bit disingenuous to say it binds to gabba. I mean, I am sure it is true that some alkaloids in Kratom bind to gabba, but that's not the primary interaction.
But Nordic countries become Christian just in 12th century. And it took considerably longer for actual Christian beliefs to establish themselves among the people in these regions.

So all these “don’t bath” nonsense promoted by pope was ignored (like, Pope Innocent IV passed the verdict against Frederick II of being a heathen. The first accusation on his list was the King bathed daily.)

In short, people did not wanted to smell bad but church considered an unwashed body a stinking badge of piety (as mentioned by Saint Francis of Assisi).
I called out schools and employers because of the inherent power imbalance. Students are compelled by law to go to school. Workers are generally compelled by necessity to work for somebody; you aren't free when the invisible hand of the market has a knife to your throat.

What you as a customer or an employee do is your own business, but I do not regard employers as customers for rented labor.

>I don't find the scripting language any worse or better than any modern script languages. What are the missing features?

lambdas, closures, support for error handling, constructor overloading, list comprehension, packing/unpacking (arguments/lists), varargs
The SIGINT (if the terminal is configured to generate one) goes to the
foreground process group, not the current process. See the termios man
page, look for INTR. This gets complicated in shell pipelines (oh look,
a process group) where one or more of the tools involved are fiddling
with the global terminal state, in which case there may be a process
group signal, or there might instead be a key for some random program of
the pipeline to to read, which it may ignore.

With an important productivity app like rogue(6) there is (probably)
only one process in the foreground process group, and curses has
(probably) set the terminal to have control+c either ignored or
delivered to the rogue process as a key event. The player probably does
not want to have their rogue process vanish because they hit control+c
by habit, like trek(6) likes to do, but someone wrote blocksig(1) as an
exec wrapper so that SIGINT can be ignored. With a complicated shell pipeline, the
player probably does want the whole thing to go away, but that may be
difficult depending on exactly how complicated the shell pipeline is and
whether any processes in that pipeline are fiddling with the global
terminal state. (Global to the process groups and their PIDs under that
particular terminal, not the whole system or universe or whatever. But
global enough to cause problems.)

Opinions also vary here, some want that LISP image to never go away
(those emacs users, probably), others may want control+c to murder the LISP
image so they can go back to hacking in vi. POSIX probably says
something about shell pipelines and control+c and such, which various
shells may or may not follow, exactly. Etc...
Microdosing isn't supposed to make you high. OP said they were taking /20 of a high dosing. So the assertion of "being high all the time" is sort of insulting.
It's not the first time either and it won't be the last. NIST chose Rijndael over Serpent for the AES standard even though Serpent won. I vaguely recall they gave some smarmy answer. I don't think anyone submitted a FOIA not that it would matter. I've been through that bloated semi-pseudo process and saw how easy it was to stall people not answer a simple question.
Those aren't always mutually exclusive
The premise is that any real number is non-negative when squared, so integration of a squared real function must yield a non-negative number. What is done next is that we now f(x)^2 is greater than a two-variable expression in a and b, so we try to find a maximum. It does not have to do with any particular values because of convexity or concavity of the two variable expression (e.g. if the minimum of a convex function is postivie, then the whole function is positive).
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.
> I well remember the epiphany I felt while learning Logo in elementary school, at the moment I understood what recursion is.

Yep, this was 100% me too.

I "got" recursion through math and induction and a bit of graph paper, and the way it made my mind recurse to infinity made me feel ... funny ... in that age.

But it wasn't until I used Logo on the school's only Macintosh LC475 that I got the full psychedelic effects.

Nothing as intricate as NetLogo (e.g. see its Koch curve here: http://www.netlogoweb.org/launch#http://ccl.northwestern.edu...), but still a strong impression.

Funnily, that had as a consequence to fall in love with iterative function systems and pizzabox-form desktops, leading to me being introduced to Matila Ghyka's book, and Sun's Sparcstation 5.
At first glance it gave me a crackpotty vibe. Another commenter here mentioned something along those lines too.
Am physicist. First of all - this paper was never peer-reviewed. (And I suspect will never be.) The "summary table" looks weird and all over the place: both in levels of abstraction and in cause-effect relationships. The rest of the contents of the paper reek of "non-mainstream unrecognised genius" stuff.

I bookmarked this, I really like how the author dug into mostly one song. About 45 years ago I bought a good book Masters Of Instrumental Blues Guitar that had a few of her songs.

I also had a bad experience with graphQL, or perhaps more accurately the Apollo client for it.

I hated the namespaces on the code-generated classes and ended up manually wrapping them, obviating the benefit.

It was also super brittle, when the back end would change something it would break the clients.

There are several good independent bookstores in Madison, WI, the medium-sized college town near which I live, and I'm happy to say that most seem to be well-supplied with customers who actually buy books, and have not resorted to the shenanigans this article describes.

One of my favorites, Leopold's, does have a small coffee shop that serves the best coffee in town. That's not what makes me love it, though: its small collection is arranged by country (or in some cases region), and it's exquisitely selected. Every time I go in, I find several books that I would never have noticed or thought to search for in a more traditionally-arranged bookstore: Turkish religious wisdom stories, a history of the Russian revolution, a volume of Sholom Aleichem's stories, the autobiography of a woman who lost her family to the Khmer Rouge — it's a treasure of a collection. I expect to keep going back there for a long time.

I wonder if other bookstores could stand out like that by structuring their collections in a way that helps their customers find interesting things they might not otherwise look for. I think — though I'm no expert — that most people go into a bookstore thinking not, "I need to find a copy of X," but "I hope I find something good to read!" A bookstore that solves the second problem connects better with actual customers.

A quibble with the article:

> “Browsing” itself is an agricultural term, he points out, in one of his book’s many divagations, often entertaining but sometimes a bit twee, on the culture and language of bibliophilia: it’s what cows do in a field, and only started to be used to describe reading habits in the nineteenth century.

Cows don't browse; they graze, evenly cutting the omnipresent grass. Goats are browsers, picking bits of what they believe are the tastiest, most nourishing plants, and leaving the ones they don't care for.
I see. To me, it is not very useful to talk about "psychoactive" substances, since sugar, caffeine, or nicotine are also "psychoactive". I would recommend the term "entheogens" in your original post.
I keep a snippet for that.. (something like) “if you would be so kind as to provide some details? What are you trying to accomplish? What have you tried? What problems have you encountered? Help me help you.“
In a small organization there isn't generally any reason to divide the teams between front and back end. As you've alluded - once you have many clients you'll want to separate responsibilities in order to increase velocity.
That's dang's decision, and he is welcome to act accordingly. Until then I will speak from the heart; I honestly believe that women, LGBTQ people, non-white people, non-Christians, and neurodiverse people should arm themselves, learn tactics, and be prepared to enforce their human rights with violence -- since the law will not uphold them on their behalf.

While I likely wouldn't notice the difference, digital space is so cheap now that it costs me very little to store everything I want as lossless copies. Even if the difference is negligible, there's little reason not to get the best quality I can.

The main reasons why not would be streaming (currently Qobuz is the only one I know of that does it properly, and services like Roon + Qobuz can get pricey) and bluetooth (which doesn't support lossless at all).
Nope. You want a Library, you get a Library. A Library is a cache of information and knowledge, and it is guaranteed at least some is going to be disagreeable to you. That's a certainty. Knowledge hurts, or is otherwise unpleasant and character challenging at times. That's the point!

The same reason the Public University is viewed as being a bastion for the free exercise and pursuit of controversial ideas, so too is the Public Library.

I will never understand the mentality that makes people think Libraries are there to please you, or serve as ideological echo chambers. It's like you've never spoken with a Librarian before.

You don’t need a whole tub to bathe. A person can take a reasonable “shower” with a bucket of water and a cup. It’s much easier to heat one bucket of water than to fill a whole tub. I would be surprised if peasants didn’t primarily take bucket baths.

> boosted by from inflammatory effects of UV damage

That wording supports a notion that the boosting is to encourage the most essential activity of a species—reproduction—in the face of potential harms that may shorten the opportunity for that activity (cancer-induced final exit).

That said, I’m aware of counterarguments to the simplistic takes on “sun bad” messaging and think they have merit. Not trying to open a debate on the latter, just clarifying that I’m not trying to grind an ax with the first paragraph.
> "Good" means you didn't think about your answer...

Bullshit. I gave my answer plenty of thought, and came to the conclusion that, "Mind your own business. Let's focus on work." would be counterproductive.
It's not about disingenuousness, it's about the proper terminology. Caffeine is "psychoactive" yet very few people would say that you need to clear your mental baggage before you start drinking coffee.

> Even amongst mushrooms from the same rice cake, the dosage wildly varies

This is the main reason with psychoactive mushrooms overall. You can't dose exact via bio material so overdosing happens regular and could be actually harmful.
but you can't blanket say meat is carcinogenic. If we acknowledge that meat has no link to cancer in alligators or sharks, then we need to question if it is because of animal, the meat, or both. Likewise, if mountain lions have higher rates of cancer than deer, is it the animal or the food? Likewise deer are eating acorns which are very high in antioxidants. So its another variable. Do mountain lions have higher cancer rates than a wild hog? That is an interesting question. As far as my bias from what I want to do. I want to eat ice cream and drink scotch all day, but I won't argue either are healthy. Alcohol is generally listed second after tobacco as a cause for cancer in humans. I really just don't think the link between meat and health is well established in humans, or even if it is the same across human variation.
The blog is a front for the meat industry. They try to stick to the areas where they can have vaguely plausible deniability that they're not just attacking everything that would impact meat sales and agriculture subsidies, with the cover that they're "wanting to look at the evidence". But the comment I replied to quotes them having a swipe at a challenge to meat from a non-nutrition angle, which tips their hand a little.

The whole, "we just want the science to be certain" thing is a popular tactic, see for example the Heartland Institute's attempt to have a "Red Team" of scientists pick holes in climate science:

I didn't want to sound "tribal", just making it clear that Taiwan hasn't been as bad as mainland China. It's true that there's a lot of corruption inside the country, and I guess that even the USA has been hesitant thanks to that.

Originally, I didn't even talk about the USA's morally dubious nature, which I think it can certainly be pointed out. But try and formulate those points in a different way next time, don't imply something others haven't said.

Nevertheless, I agree. There's a lot of hypocrisy on this, even if I think that it's for different reasons (the USA just wants to make sure they have a way to choke out China's navy through another "friend").

> It can save you bandwidth. Get what you ask for and no more

I feel like this a false truth.

Most people are building a web app, or a mobile app and consuming an api and displaying all the data they retrieve.

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.

Now if you have a website and a mobile app, where the mobile app needs 3 fields and the website needs 6 fields. You will obviously save on bandwidth with the mobile app.

The problem here is most of us are not building Facebook. The data saved is peanuts and the bandwidth cost is probably going to be far less than the total cost of doing the work to support graphql.

For a company like Facebook which has many different integrations as well as 3rd parties integrating, graphql is obviously a godsend as integrators and integrations can consume only what they require and save Facebook millions of dollars in bandwidth.
Seems like a very uninteresting semantic argument
Fucking everybody's position is to combine classical key exchanges with PQC KEMs. It wasn't NIST's job to standardize a classical+PQC construction. The point of the contest is to figure out which PQC constructions to use. NIST also didn't recommend that everyone implement their cryptographic handshakes in a memory-safe language. But not doing that is going to get a bunch of people owned by NSA too. Do you see how silly this argument is?

Hard to Be a God
There never has and never will be a good stats-based study on human diet.

We are the most complex things we know of in the universe.

Confounding factors abound. Isolating one is impossible, unless researchers have access to a million identical twins separated at birth and forced to eat a certain diet all their lives, in which case there’s probably a huge human rights crisis going on… and the study would still be invalid because identical twins and authoritarian diet regimes are not the norm.

The only way is to map out the entire chemical pathway in the human body and figure out what is good and bad that way. That will take a very long time; in the meantime, I will eat red meat, butter, animal fat, and eggs like my very-long-lived and exceedingly robust ancestors all did.

One other approach might be to personally try a diet and get regular blood panels and heart scans done. I believe this is the best way.
