Do teams tend to use GraphQL Schema to synchronize syntactic expectations between FE and BE?

My experience in doing so is limited, but I do know that this synchronization tends to be difficult and really like the idea of an explicit contract-based synchronization strategy.

It seems like a very big potential benefit but again, I don’t have enough direct experience doing too so be willing to put much stake in defending it.
This kinda reminds me of movie ads (previews? Not sure what they’re called). Those two minutes have the best scenes from the 90 minute movie. Then you watch the movie, it ends up being ridiculously bad
> I can definitely imagine a counterfactual where 12bit bytes became the basic building block.

It's definitely fun to imagine. I personally have a soft spot for a hypothetical ternary architectures, where the "trits" are either -1, 0 or 1. There's a mathematical elegance to that number system that binary can't match.

> 12bit bytes also work great for encoding RGB values for video

Can you elaborate, do you mean historically? The more bits the better, of course -- I get why 12 are better than 8, but it's not clear to me why you would want to stop at 12 bits. And if you don't stop there, what's the advantage?

> The << and >> bitshift operators even on a 64bit number are only using 6 bits of their operand, so even on an 8-bit-centric architecture you’re not realizing any great synergy with the powers of two.

6 bits is still cleaner than the 6.58 bits required to encode shifts for this hypothetical 96-bit architecture, just use the lowest 6 address lines.

And in general I think there are more places where stuff like this comes up than is apparent at first glance. How many bytes in a page? How many pages in a RAM chip? How many address lines and data lines?

In the current era, RAM chips are agnostic about word size (as long as it's a power of two) because what they actually address are these much larger pages that chips can cut up in any way they want. Perhaps if everything standardized to 12 bits as the base at once, you could solve that or find workarounds, but I think would be mathematically tedious at every turn. It's so easy to just chop off a few bits and not worry about it.

GitS for 11 y/o?

A bit too early, IMO, a not because Major's tits, but because besides a nice artwork it would be a dull, slow, non-sensical film with 99% of the plot over the head because 11 y/o doesn't know yet and doesn't know how to process that.

But while we are here, I would advise Violet Evergarden then, it's rough sometimes, but for a kid who already seen GitS I doubt it would be a problem. It's very beautiful both visually and story wise. And watch past the credits, ffs.
Clinical settings can violate "set and setting", though. Lots of people, including us, would not want to use psychedelics in a clinic isolated from the world. We'd want to be at home, in our comfy bed, playing nice music, while talking to our friends on the internet.

Luckily, in Oregon, possession of small amounts at home is only a civil violation, so it's basically OK as long as you don't get caught. Even if you do, there's no jail time, only a fine, and IIRC the fine will even be waived if you pass a psychiatric evaluation.

Obviously, possession being legal means nothing if you obtain it illegally. But it's completely legal to buy research chemicals online for "research purposes". Then, even if you end up consuming it, the sequence of events is that you bought a research chemical (which is fine) and then a research chemical in your possession was also a psychedelic in your possession (also fine) once you used it (also fine).

If you have tight interfaces that fully encapsulate the use of any, you're fine. If you want to return `any` or pass it around outside of an insulated zone, you're gonna have a bad time.

`any` is a contagious/viral construct where anything it touches could become `any`. And then you spiral out of control and the whole codebase gets nothing from typescript but gets all the operational overhead.

Final note is that you likely shouldn't blindly cast unknown to stuff that you hope it is but instead use type guards to find out what the type is.

Zod is really good at making this ergonomic for most use cases. More niche types using nonprimitives or uncopyable attributes require hand rolled type guards :/

Type guards also update the type of your unknown var after it passes through them if you gate scopes with them if(isX(y)) {...}

Additional guards will merge attributes onto the type

The linked article seemed to me to clearly state if she goes to jail it’s to isolate and definitely also to get treated (“ordered her to jail to undergo involuntary testing and treatment until health officials deem it safe to release her”). Hence my focus on people who are against forced treatment - I don’t think notice and warning ameliorates their concerns at all.

After having tried their PostgreSQL plugin I feel like it's a bit too early to use in production.

Very little amount and unclear pushdown filters are one of the issues, not handling certain data types and thus not being able to scan the table (even if the column in question isn't used) is another.

I think that DuckDB is also missing a PostgreSQL logical replication driver to continuously replicate a subset of tables you want to run stats on.

Syncing the full table every time is too slow.
gitlab is pretty nice mostly because of the CI system and runners, the groupings of things, the permissions (deploy tokens etc;) and the way it handles merge requests.

Jira is used mostly because it's "okay" at doing things the agile way, it's impressive how few things actually have the concept of a backlog or sprints (Asana for instance has neither despite costing 4x as much).

I can't honestly find a decent replacement for confluence that would allow non-techs to also write documents. :\

I would hate myself for saying all this 4 years ago, but unfortunately I am now in a position where I have the ability to inflict my personal tool choices on people and these are the least bad options sadly.

It seems the true, deciding factor is good credit and able to pay your bills. You still only need to put down closing cost, and the federal government will cosign your loan. I don't understand this idea that only the wealthy can have homes. Perhaps it is that some people want certain homes, in certain locations, and can't afford them. That's not a problem, indicative of the market, they just can't afford it.
Not one mention of the tech sanctions placed on China, but so much focus on COVID controls. Easy to see where this author's bread is buttered
I second that. Great program. Not only does Qalculate! also handle binary operations and numbers of any base of your choice (including hex, octal, binary), both for output and input (even when working in another base, e.g. when the output mode is set to decimal, you can just input hexadecimal values such as 0x1AF and Qalculate! will understand)…

… but most importantly it can calculate with units and show the result converted to your liking e.g. you can write

10 Nm×2pi×20/minute to W and Qalculate will show the result as 209,4395102 W. When you get used to that, you don't want to use any calculator that doesn't have that feature any more.
Their ESG score tells me otherwise. They can single handedly destroy a company or industry with this score. They control trillions in investment capital. They have seats in the largest governments.

Why do I feel like we're close to the same age...
Occasionally I too have this ability to "wake up" within a dream and thus exert at least some form of influence over it, such as an ability to fly around the dreamscape. I even came up with a system to reliably verify whether or not I was indeed in a dream state. It's very simple actually. The first thing I do is look around for something with writing on it. Having done that I then turn my head and then back. If the wording has changed, I am dreaming. If I don't do something like that, I fall back into the "subconscious dreaming state" much faster than I would have than otherwise.

The Reality of Chasing Pop
I would have expected that sessions are completely independent from each other, and don't magically inherit some (but not others) environment variables from when the first session was created. (Especially considering the first session might not even exist anymore!)

That said, I can understand why it would work this way for simplicity, if all sessions are hosted inside the same process.

Luckily for me, I never use more than one session at a time, so this doesn't affect me.
The sad part is that it’s still one of the very best VR experiences out there.

But you only care about the difficulty of extracting eight-bit bytes from words because you need to do things like interoperate with protocols or storage media based on eight bit bytes, or eight bit parallel interfaces.

If everything were based on a different basic ‘byte’ size that objection would go away.

Sure, oddball things that used 8-bit data would exist and you’d need to work with them - but in our 8-bit world oddball things based on 10-bit protocols exist and we live with the impedance mismatches that causes.
> accusing the whole New Zealand academic establishment—and the seven Auckland Uni professors who, in the infamous Listener letter, said that MM was not equivalent to science—of being riddled with racism.

I was a junior when I first grasped the concept of repeatable experiments, and my career wasn't even in science. I remember being blown away by the profoundness of it. Such a simple yet powerful idea in order to reliably predict your surroundings. You would be hard pressed to find another way of doing so. It is a beautiful concept when you think about it, and arguably the greatest achievement of the human race.

Now, how does someone with a PhD simply not get what the scientific method is about? Like every single thing you have studied, your entire career, your achievements are all based on the scientific method. Is it really possible to go through the ranks, even do a PhD, without really having a basic understanding of the philosophy of science?

H. zschokkei is notable for its absence of mitochondria, mitochondrial DNA, aerobic respiration and its reliance on an as of yet undiscovered energy metabolism.

[...] it is the only known multicellular animal that does not rely on the aerobic respiration of oxygen.

[...] animals such as H. zschokkei were originally cancerous growths in free-swimming jellyfish that escaped their parent organism and thereafter became a separate species parasitizing other animals.

Absolutely wild, thought-provoking biology!

it's not magical or hidden. every invocation of tmux is a call to a running tmux server. the only exception is when no server is running, in which case a new one is started.

i have tmux running all the time. started once when i connect to a server for the first time, it keeps running until the server is rebooted. i have tmux sessions that go back years.

the only time the environment is causing me trouble is when a new ssh connection is forwarding an ssh agent, which doesn't get transferred into the tmux session when i attach. but screen would not help here either. if you connect to an existing screen session it has the same problem. we really want a way to adjust the environment for specific variables on attach.

There's plenty of them to go around and are plenty of adaptations for when there wont be anymore. You ignored 90% of what you replied to.
You wont change price by buying and selling back. Because neither supply nor demand have changed. You can keep prices up by buying and hoarding over a long time, but it means locking up capital in something that doesn't generate return... And wait, this has been tried in 2008 :) didn't end well especially for investors because no Ponzi scheme can run indefinitely. Eventually the stream of stupid money runs out because there are no bigger fools left, and to generate returns you need to sell, and if you sell, market falls.

"Imho you have a very idealized perception of marriage that doesn’t line up with the various shades of grey in reality."

I appreciate you letting me know about reality as I have led a sheltered life with no real world experience.

I've been alive and married (20+ years) for longer than I was alive and single.
Its been pretty ideal.

How long were you married for before you learned these things and formed your real world marriage experience that I am unaware of?
If you were married and it failed then I can understand your negative view of it. I'm sorry it did not work out for you, the end of a marriage / relationship can be hard.

"Divorce is a very real outcome of marriage, as are prenups." lets change that to
"Divorce is a very real possible outcome of marriage". prenups are a before marriage thing.
So is a long happy life together.

My sister is going through a divorce because they married for reasons other than love and it was clear that it was not a marriage of 2 good people in it for the other.

My brother has also been married for longer than he has been single. Been through some incredibly tough family issues (deaths) that if they were not married would have probably broken them up. Years on they are very happy.

Marriage if done right and again entered into by people that care about each other is an incredible bond and one I feel has contributed strongly to society.

There are negatives to everything but again if its a good match the positives far out weigh it.

Marriage can be a wonderful thing, If its not for you then more power to you, there is no reason to knock the institution that has worked for so many others. Its been around and working for many people for tens of thousands of years. Maybe be open to the fact that there may be some good things that you are missing rather than that through all of human history people have been dumb.
At the end of the day the "metaverse" will just be a bunch of servers that are keeping track of different application states that are sent to different VR clients. It's basically a VR MMO game (massive multiplayer online). It seems Meta did not see this connection well enough, considering John Carmack left with concerns, and he represents the pinnacle of this effort to take video games into a new domain. The Metaverse will have to leverage all the lessons from video games, or risk reinventing the wheel. On a side note, I'm surprised Epic and MS didn't contribute more to the actual metaverse, since they both have experience making games. I think Epic is probably in the best position to take this forward and Meta could follow (instead of the other way around).

It is depressing, to put it mildly
> Marriages are fundamentally just a societal complication of a relationship - complete with dubious legal consequences and a not a sure thing that can end.

Depending on how you see the marriage. Did people or God[1] invent it? TBH, I'm wondering if you are / were married or just talking.

- Marriage is not about finding the right person, but rather BE the right person.

- Don't expect a not perfect person to fulfill your desires, but rather try to be there to support the other.

- Don't try to change the person. You fell in love in the end with that person. Why change her/him?

[1] I know that this might not be popular on HN. I can accept that.
Who has influenced your mind the most?
For me, Tyler Cowan, Sam Harris and Richard hanania have influenced my and way of thinking radically, like I’m a different person completely since being exposed.

I often don’t agree with them about specifics, escpially hanania, but that’s not really the point, it’s the style of approaching ideas that struck me.

Not always certain the influence is for the best. Most people do not think about the world in this way, in my setting. Sometimes I miss then ease of being very tribal, easily falling in line with another persons simple talking points instead of just quietly nodding or sometimes rarely dissenting.

Who has influenced you? Who do you still respect and look up to?

The other half of the dual license is commercial. They can purchase a license and use it under the commercial terms, or use it for free under the GPL terms.

Under the GPL terms, the derived work becomes GPL (this is why people call GPL infectious or viral). The project may include unrelated MIT components alongside GPL components, but the project itself becomes GPL, along with any derived components (i.e. components making use of the GPL components).
