I'm the creator of Appsmith, an open source internal apps builder. We just launched native GraphQL support in Appsmith. With this addition you can write GraphQL queries with variables faster in a neat two-pane layout.

You can expect to see a 20%-30% improvement in dev productivity with:
* Intuitive auto-complete and auto-indent for code
* Fragments for repeated params
* Cursor-based and offset-based pagination

We are excited for the future of Appsmith + GraphQL. Give it a spin and let us know what you think.
Every few months someone thinks they've proven that these companies are recording us via our phones, scanning our messages secretly, etc. What's more likely that these companies are going to break the law but manage to keep it a secret that not one engineer who worked on these features speaks out after all the whistleblowers that have come forward or that you're that predictable they can guess what you're wanting/thinking from what you content they already serve you?
That they have so many products ?
:)
It's a solution sure.

Doesn't sound like the solution of a functional societal environment though (for one, a functional one, wouldn't have that issue or it would be very very rare)
If you play anonymously you virtually never see cheaters. Every so often you get an upset person who was playing quickly, suddenly takes a long think and then all moves subsequently need many seconds to play. Obviously turning an engine on.

The caveat about playing anonymous is that you play all kinds of people. Noobs you crush and stronger players you don't learn a great deal from. Ideally you want to play people around your own strength. which means getting a rating and competing properly. Now you have to deal with engines.

I find that's not a big deal. It's against the rules to sandbag your own rating intentionally but if cheaters are going to do it for you... hell ya.
> Just because that the messages might be sent end-to-end encrypted from Sue to Joe does not mean Meta cannot read them.

I think it does actually no one except them can read them. If someone else can, then by definition it's not end-to-end encryption.

> End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a system of communication where only the communicating users can read the messages.

There are scans of old newspapers going back ages, and current ones also. Stop using the web, it sucks ass. Use ProQuest and other similar databases. Web searches are wastes of time for most things. Google wants to train you to believe research is not a skill and that you can get usually get good information from the open web. Neither of those points are true.

You had to plug in to charge so at least for people working regularly with a computer there was zero additional effort required.
>extensions can delay requests making the browser slow

There's an older UBO wiki post showing, with their default set of rules, the onBeforeRequest() processing adds about 130ms of latency per request on an older i5 machine. It does also show that a less performance focused ad blocker adds around 420ms.

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-vs.-ABP:-effic...

Of course, then you can subtract whatever performance issues loading all those ads would have caused. That math often ends up in favor of the ad blocker, even if it's not a particularly efficient one.

Could you share some of this evidence that hopefully isn't from obviously religious sources or religiously funded?
> Have you looked into the amount of copper required to build this grid? It is many multiples of the current annual production

Yes, I have, and it is, even including aluminium (surprisingly a better choice for various reasons). I think I'm one of the main proponents of this on Hacker News, so you might have even seen my previous comments calculating this.

WRT economics, not my field; all I can say is that higher demand increasing prices will encourage (but not necessarily ultimately create) an increase in supply, which has a difficult to forecast feedback relationship when planning for a specific total output.

For me, it's mostly driving which, since I haven't commuted in years, means I don't listen a lot. Doing stuff around the house? I would mostly only be half-listening and I don't really care for having background noise on in general when I'm at home.

I also mostly don't listen to podcasts for technical content. I get plenty of that during the day.
> when looking at data regarding defensive gun use in the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), there was no evidence that gun use reduced the likelihood of injury during attacks on women.

That's my perspective too. I'm a woman who lives alone, and has no vehicle. Right now, I specifically avoided getting a gun. A friend gave me a knife I have no intention of ever using, maybe carrying it as a "pick a new target" kind of message. Obviously I'd love to feel more safe but I've yet to be convinced more firepower is actually effective at protecting me.
> (though I doubt the necessity of 100MB file sizes for an hour of talk)

An hour of uncompressed audio at a standard 44.1 kHz sample rate and 16 bit depth is 317 MB. Opinions on what's acceptable compression obviously vary, but I don't think 100 MB is too outrageous.
Weather these safety issues are real or imagined, feeling so unsafe you have to do sports with a firearm is a clear sign of a failed society.
"multiple crises" could be crises that are dependent or independent. "polycrises" tells the reader that the focus is on the subset of multiple crises that are dependent and likely have complex interaction effects.
I admit this gave me pause when you said this. But I'd note my comment was pretty specific:

> It's very likely that realistic looking (to the level of Stable Diffusion) video will happen and tools to create it will be available within 12 months (maybe 80% likelihood).

> What is likely to be missing is the ability to control that video in useful ways directly from prompts.

ie, I'm not claiming it will entirely text based.

As an example of the kind of things we'll see I'd point at https://twitter.com/karenxcheng/status/1564626773001719813

This is using live video as a source, but I think an integrated version of this combined with some kind maybe game based interface to script it is achievable.
Sorry, but internship is very specific term and that means school & student & company.

You are very wrong about it being illegal! Stop spreading misinformation.
API, I want to get rid of zoom as much as possible.

The lowest hanging fruit is being able to use huddle in calendar invites for daily standup. I can't even use Huddles apart of the basic workflows Slack offers.

Once you have that you'll have habit forming behavior with your user and they'll reach for Slack huddle before zoom.
Roughly speaking, the differences are:

Dolby Vision is effectively 12 bit while using only 10 bits for encoding the actual signal. HDR10 is effectively... 10 bit. To achieve the same 12-bits of dynamic range they'd have to come up with a HDR12 format or something.

You can think of 8-bit SDR brightness as something like 0 nits to 255 nits of brightness. This is technically wrong because it's a nonlinear curve, but ignore that for a minute. Increasing this to 10 bits like with HDR10 gives you 0..1,023 nits with the same "steps". Going further to 12 bits lets you take this to 4,096 nits while continuing to preserve the same level of gradation.

The hiccup with this is that some displays have 600 nits of peak brightness and some have 2,500 nits. There are rare displays that can go to 4,000, and prototype displays that go to 10K nits.

HDR10 only goes to 1,000 nits.

Dolby Vision goes to 4,000 nits.

Does this matter now on some cheap LCD TV that only goes to 600 nits? Probably not.

Does it matter on an OLED panel that only goes to 1,000 nits? Maybe, because Dolby Vision has more true-to-life mapping from the maximum range to the display panel range.

Will it matter more with next-generation panels capable of 3,000+ nits? Almost certainly.

Then again, HDR10+ has dynamic metadata, which compensates a lot for its lower bit depth. Additionally, most smart televisions smooth the "steps" in smooth areas, largely eliminating the artefacts caused by HDR10.

At the end of the day, they're both significantly better than SDR, but Dolby Vision is a touch better, especially on high-end panels.
> The well to wheel efficiency is still better for EVs

You're still displacing 2+ tonnes of metal to move your 70kg ass. Using the word "efficiency" in this scenario is an insult to intelligence
I cannot imagine how hard it has to be for a religious memeber of the LGBTQ community. One part of you, the religious part, is abused by religious leaders people you have faith in and trust, to deny the other part.

But hey, the Catholic church has a tremendous history of accepting whatever abuse from priests while using some deeply rooted desires of their followers to accept that abuse.

That being said, the "priest" in the story is just a simple and abusive cult leader.
The best way to help the unemployed is to create jobs. As an aside the unemployment is still historically low though this will probably not last.

I also suppose that pretty much everyone knows that the basic rate is currently 20% because virtually everyone pays it. This is not an obscure piece of info known only to experts.
There's enough of them and I am sure non-affiliated as well, they could likely scrape together enough engineering 'power' to maintain their own sane fork of Chromium.

To elaborate a little on ncmncm's reply, there is a cornucopia of alternatives available for grid battery storage.

Sodium sulfur, iron air, aluminum air are three technologies we have waiting in the wings if lithium ever runs short. We'll never run out of any of those raw materials.

(Edit: I'm not going to mention flow batteries, thermal storage (will we run out of rocks to heat up?), compressed air storage, or other chemicals like hydrogen or ammonia storage.)

But, we are not short of lithium. There is plenty.

There is a temporary shortage of lithium refining capacity, plants that take in the raw mined lithium and produce high purity lithium carbonate ready for the battery factories. But lithium mines? No shortage there.

Also, it'd be reasonable to hold nuclear to the same "dust to dust" standard. Check out what it takes to produce and dispose of nuclear fuel and reaction vessels sometime.

Ignore all the jargon and analysis and just consider: is a todo list possibly more effective when divided up into states of completion/activity?

I’ve been doing it this way for a good 15 years now (albeit just with a markdown/notepad file) and it’s been ridiculously effective. Especially in school.

Guarantees on future price is what Germany did/does as subsidies to the renewable sector. If prices fall significantly then it would be the German government that has to pay the difference between what investors expected and what the market is willing to pay.

With prices going the other, governments in EU (including Germany) is now considering subsidies again by creating a price roof. Any difference between the roof price and the market price will be paid by the government.

Nuclear plants can have similar subsidies. Price guarantees and price roofs are market tools rather than technology dependent tools, but they are more likely to trigger if the market price is fluctuating a lot. The more weather dependent the energy grid is, for now (and in general), the larger and more frequent the difference between max and min price are, the more likely the government will have to pay out in order to offer such subsidies.

Of course the government are not required to offer either subsidies.
It is not illegal. Educate yourself about internship in EU.
If you have a VPS handy you can port your org files there and use Prompt to ssh into it and use your configured emacs there. If you use a terminal multiplexer like tmux which you can attach / deattach as needed there's the added benefit of never losing state.

The only annoyance is the inability to use non-terminal emacs, which is what I prefer. I'm sure there's a way around this (running a local non-terminal emacs and accessing files that exist remotely) but I'll attempt that on a day when I have the will and time. :)
The smoke levels in the Western USA are horrible, and are only going to get worse due to the inability of state administrations to allocate proper funding for brush clearing and controlled burns, and this is only compounded by the drought we're experiencing.
It has been a long time since a subtitle on an article immediately soured me on it as much as this one did 5 seconds after I opened the article.

Has there been an "everybody is listening" style hit since Serial? No. And I strongly disagree that it is even a desirable outcome. It is just something that happens extremely rarely in democratized content where the barrier of entry almost doesn't exist. This creates a landscape where an infinite number of niches can form and provide more content than you could ever listen to. Do you just want to hear discussions about philosophy? video game sub-genres? an author's books? sports team? Fantastic, there is probably hundreds of hours of content for you to listen to (or reject due to quality reasons). This does create an environment where "famous talking heads" can flourish, as mentioned in the article, but as long as the barrier to entry is low and the podcast platforms remain open, it also creates an environment where a terrific variety of content can flourish.

What Serial did was get millions of people to investigate that Podcast app on their phone, but instead of then just bouncing to The Next Great Over-Produced Narrative Podcast they discovered there was a massive, and growing, number of podcasts that spoke directly to them. I've been podcasting since 2014 and the really interesting thing that happened after Serial got big is that I didn't have to describe what a podcast was anymore. That is why Serial was such a big deal to podcasting.

All the Podcast companies trying to replicate the success of Serial are, in my mind, chasing a mirage. You can recreate the quality of the show, but you can't recreate the environment that it was released in, and it was that environment that made Serial a "hit".
Including white lyching? "scholarly consensus" is that it was racism?
>all efforts to stop it faced an attack

Lockdowns, and the labeling of society into "essential" and "non-essential", occurred nearly everywhere with no debate at all.

The most basic freedoms guaranteed to us - the freedom of movement, association, free speech - were taken away from hundreds of millions of people who had literally no say in the matter.

What world were you living in where these restrictions were only nominal? They literally roped off certain sections of businesses preventing people from buying non-essential products. It was everywhere.
> Why do we celebrate athleticism, musical talent, and other forms of ability in others, yet also feel so fiercely insecure about other people's IQ test scores that we have to co-opt the term "intelligence" itself? To apply it to socialization skills and other various abilities. Other than perhaps video games being labeled as "e-sports", you see no major push to label the less physically gifted as "mental athletes", or any other co-opt.

I would think there's a social, visual, and auditory aspect with athleticism and musical talent that other types or intelligence don't have. Music and rhythm start in the womb so that's naturally something we all gravitate to. Sports are easily measurable and almost anyone can relate to not being able to shoot three-pointers one after another.

Things happening solely in the mind are much harder to celebrate.

Meh. Complaining that coffee snobbery has got more accessible is like complaining that good cameras have got more accessible. Yes, there are some people whose expenditure outpaces their talent. But a lot of the original coffee snobs weren't people of great judgement either. And complaining about those kind of middlebrow coffee snobs in the same article where you talk about how you'd pick Dunkin over Starbucks is the height of hypocrisy. This guy comes off far worse than the people he's criticising.
> Sure, there hasn't been another serial,

Even Serial could not make another Serial themselves. Talk about an outlier.
The rationale for podcasts isn’t that they have content that can’t be found elsewhere (though there is some of that). It’s that it’s content optimized for people on the go.
Exactly. Computers are boring these days.
The 1982 Hobbit game and the Monkey Island series don't really have much in common beside both being graphical adventure games with a (broadly speaking) fantasy setting. The Hobbit has a command-line user interface with (some limited) first-person graphics. It's also, very unusually for any kind of "adventure" game either then or since, not a tightly-controlled theme-park ride but a genuine simulation of the actors and situation which lets the chips fall where they may, even though some runs of the simulation will produce "broken" outcomes. At the time Sierra had already started to put graphics into much more conventional text adventures (see eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_House ) and those led directly to the third-person graphical point-and-click Sierra adventures which Monkey Island spoofed and imitated.

The conversations being e2ee do not affect the app itself from acting on contents. By definition the app needs to know the contents to display it, but it can also update your ad profile. It doesn't even need to send the whole message to meta, just the keywords triggered, or a preprocessed vector defining your interests.

E2ee means only the messages themselves can't be intercepted and read. But if anyone can actually prove fb acting on message contents, I suspect the EU banhammer would be interested.
What if to:
1. divide information in two parts where first part will be the image with no hash added and second part is the MD5 hash in string format.
2. Sign with MD5 both parts of information.
3. Add that two more MD5 hashes on the same image.

Will the new task be any harder for a really skilled cryptographer?
Yeah I agree absolutely.

I find the rise of video and podcasts quite tragic actually. Destroying our collective attention spans year on year.

I understand the idea, listening to something while driving, walking, etc.

It just doesn't work for me at all. I zone out during boring bits, zone out during interesting bits following my thoughts, and generally lose interest if the narrator/dialogue is too slow (they usually are).

Do you know the impact of mines ?

Do you think they use lemon juice and electric excavators ? No, they go though thousands and thousands of tonnes of dirt to get grams of valuable metal while pumping shit tonnes of chemicals in the ground.

Everything that starts with snobs and crosses over to the mainstream (with "quality" pricing) will eventually revert to lowest common denominator crap quality (while retaining quality branding) because the marks can't tell the difference. Why not cut costs and increase margin if most of your customers don't notice?

Apple is one of the few companies in a position to do this who doesn't consistently do it, because quality obsession (far far beyond that of their median customer) is in their DNA. For most orgs it is a no-brainer.
coffee, when done well, is much better at home
