You make the assumption that a lack of on-site comments is a lack of feedback, which I think isn't substantiated.

I don't use an RSS reader or similar, so when I read a blog post, it's generally because it reaches me through some form of social media -- friends or coworkers sending links around via IM or email, Twitter, Hacker News, Reddit, or so forth. All of these mechanisms come with a built-in avenue for comment. All of these mechanisms also ensure that, unless I know the author directly, someone other than the author thought the post merited reading. This works as a natural feedback cycle if the author cares about impact at all. (And if they don't, comments wouldn't help.)

And as the internet democratizes, perhaps the best feedback mechanism is for commenters to have their own blogs. Nothing requires giving the world a chance to speak at your own pulpit.
Application code will look like regular React components. The only difference is you declare what data you want in a GraphQL fragment.

Worth remembering it's tort not crime.

[Not that you're saying it's criminal, just that sometimes illegal is taken to mean criminal whilst torts and such are described instead as unlawful.]
Best way I ever heard the law of jante described, was in a TV-show about the Danes for an American TV-channel ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_jo69ZTwbE ).

Where some dude says "They have this thing called jantelaw, which essentically says that you're no better than anybody else, a garbage man can live in a middleclass neighborhood and hold his head high." - Which I think is a nice way to look at it.

Of course there's differences and social "classes", but there is some truth to the contentedness of many Danes, many people know that more stuff will not necessarily make them happier, so why work so hard to earn money for it?
> It's not 'possibility' it's 'likelihood' of confusion that is considered, amongst other factors

I used "possibility" deliberately. "Likelihood of confusion" is a factor in the legal test for trademark infringement (and generally the most important one). But the mere possibility of confusion might be enough to get a retailer to steer clear of a trademark as a practical rather than legal matter.

I was at Kodak when the terminal decision was made. Among other factors... Film sales were driven by retailers/drugstores, which were hooked on the model of customers visiting to buy a roll, another visit to drop off the roll, and a third visit to get the prints - and odds were that they'd buy something on each trip. When digital photography started catching on, those stores made clear that if Kodak did anything to disrupt that pattern, they'd drop Kodak products fast and destroy the company. Ergo, Kodak was reluctant to dive into digital. Yeah, there was a long-term plan to cope, but nowhere near as fast a transition as customers made.

I tried to push the idea of a cell-phone-equipped camera which would immediately upload images and mail you prints, but was a mere peon so that went nowhere.

Don't lose sight of who your REAL customers are. Bulk buyers who resell product aren't.

Electrical activity from the muscles (EMG) is of larger magnitude than activity from the brain (EEG) and tends to saturate EEG recordings during vigorous movement unless a signal processing technique (such as blind source separation) is used to distinguish the two sources.

I actually saw a woman driving her car with one of those flosser things in her mouth today. First time I've ever seen one in the hands of a person outside of a house or store. I'm certain it's now free of captivity and back in its natural habitat of the street.
As a person who prefers this new style of aggregators let me explain:

The main idea is consistency.

There's a consistent interface and experience to hacker news, reddit, and even facebook.

Not only that, there's a consistent community. HN is HN, reddit groups by subreddits, and Facebook is your personal social circle.

When I click through to a new blog, I have no idea what to expect, and a few bad websites ruin my expectation of all the good ones.

-- that applies to both the interface and the community. Both are foreign and unfamiliar.

Let's say that you park at home 10 hours a day every day, and 10 extra hours over the weekend. That means you can drive 80 miles per day and 8*80=640 miles per week with no problems. The fraction of drivers who drive more than this is pretty small.

I can easily imagine that a few drivers drive more than this. Why do you think that's important for the overall success of electric cars?
VIRAL!! FIRED from Golden Corral for telling manager food is unsafe to consume
My understanding is simply that many programmers have a habit of passing parameters as const references. If they want a copy of the parameter, they make that copy by hand. In fact, on Thursday, I found a function in the code I work on that does exactly this.

That prevents some compiler optimizations ( http://stlab.adobe.com/wiki/images/8/85/2008_06_26_classes_t... ), but those optimizations predate C++11, so I don't know why the advice is in this article. In any case, if you want a function to operate in a copy of a parameter, consider passing that parameter by value instead of passing it by const reference and then making a copy. Note, this is not advice to start making unnecessary copies; instead it's advice that if you need a copy of something, rely on the compiler to make that copy for you.
Developers are definitely not the typical users. The hoops you have to jump through now are much greater than Apple II Where you got a BASIC prompt.

I think the reason people are scared of such things is not because they are incapable of learning the tools, but because developer culture has a good reason to make it look hard. Otherwise, why are we payed so well?

I'm also work in (applied) cognitive neuroscience and disagree with respect to the utility of these studies (ie "every little bit counts"). Pop-neuroscience articles that make large claims have the potential to poison the well in terms of the public's interest in, and the reputation of, neuroscience. Too much hype in a field has the potential to create a backlash, as in the "AI Winter" of the 1980s.
Inferior except in convenience. All of your other points are still completely valid.
The best way to convince a client they are making a mistake is to do it the way they asked and do it the way you think is better and then show them both. Sometimes the client sees their error. Other times it turns out that the client has an unarticulated need that gets teased out and the final design incorporates both the ideas of the designer and the unarticulated need.

It's important to realize, that often the client is more experienced with their requirements, i.e. the business domain. And their understanding may be sophisticated in ways that are contrary to the naive take of an outsider.

Does it matter that Andrew Sullivan was one of the early and very vocal champions of gay marriage? Or that he is quite openly gay and married himself? If you haven't heard of him, you might not have known that and it may change the way you view his defense of Brendan Eich. In addition to being a champion of gay marriage, Sullivan is a proponent of liberalism in the old sense of the word. I think his defense of gay marriage was always so compelling because he gave respect to people who disagreed with them while showing how wrong they were on the issue.
FB Messenger used to be a part of Facebook. They broke it out into a separate app. According to the author, the mere act of breaking it out suddenly gains Facebook an extra 500 million active monthly users. How does that make any sense? Splitting one app into two doesn't make it worth any more, and double-counting the users seems completely pointless.

What tool do you use in sever side to parse graphql?
We use splunk but there's something to be said for the low-tech approach for ad-hoc queries.

A great little tool is 'since' - a stateful tail. http://welz.org.za/projects/since

since is a unix utility similar to tail.
Unlike tail, since only shows the lines
appended since the last time. It is useful
to monitor growing log files.

It's in the usual yum/apt repos as well as homebrew for Mac.

It's a bit hard to websearch for because 'since' is a common word.
When I had a Keurig, there were two little blue LEDs under the water tank. Every once in a while, I would notice some little green bits of algae (or something) would grow on the bottom of the tank, directly above the lights. They kept coming back even after I would thoroughly clean it.
Show HN: Daily Pulse, a Tool That Increases Work Engagement and Retention
(I've used GraphQL at Facebook, but I don't work on it.)

If I understand your post correctly, I think it could. GraphQL prefers to expose full objects, rather than IDs, which lets you query for data inside objects at the same time. So for your example above, you would only need one GraphQL query:

viewer() {
posts {
node {
author { id, name, favorite_color },
// any other post data you want
}
},
friends {
node {
id,
name,
favorite_color,
}
},
notifications {
node {
source { id, name, favorite_color },
// any other notification fields you want
}
},
}

The "id, name, favorite_color" is just a sample set of fields, you could replace it with whichever your components needed. Relay also has functionality to avoid duplicating the set of fields, which is especially useful when you want to add or remove a field from what a reusable component needs.
"if Sullivan can't make it as a blogger, who can?"

How didn't he make it work? He made it work, but he wants to try something different. I don't think his decision says anything about blogging that it doesn't say about many other go-it-your-own-way ventures like writing physical books, recording music, gigging, crafting, etc.

Actually, the dust is more pronounced on these examples you gave (GoPro, mobile phones) because of a (pretty complicated) relation between the size of the sensor, the aperture and the depth of field, not necessarily because of the wide angle, although it exacerbates the problem.

Greasy is something else, and affects all lenses pretty much the same way, by messing with the transmittance and refraction.

I like the sentiment, but reading http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html about buying optical media as the best way to get openbsd, and how to boot a floppy, I immediately became skeptical. So I did a quick search for UEFI and Secure Boot and nothing comes up. I see a reference to GRUB (which can be compiled to boot UEFI computers) and rEFIt which is abandoned in favor of rEFInd. rEFInd can support both UEFI and Secure Boot. Any Mac or PC with Windows 8+ is (U)EFI based, and additionally Secure Boot enabled with Windows 8. Yes that can be disabled and then re-enabled to go back and forth between Windows and openBSD, but this is pretty well solved on Fedora, Ubuntu, and openSUSE out of the box. Maybe the best is openSUSE which has the proper chainloader patch to boot Windows from GRUB in Secure Boot mode, obviating the need to go through the firmware's boot manager to switch between OS's. If openBSD install media lacks UEFI support, it isn't a deal killer, however it makes it rather substantially less "out of the box" if this isn't just dealt with at install time like it is on at least those three linux distributions.

It's quite difficult to transition an organization to identifying and coupling upside-downside relationships, but it's worthwhile.

On a lighter note:

Many of the super successful class think they are “over it” in terms of receiving praise and awards. Reid explained that Paul, now a legend in the industry, has this self-conception. Compliments do nothing for him anymore, Paul says; he’s heard enough nice things in his life about his intelligence. Begin to flatter him and he’ll say, “Oh stop, you don’t need to say those nice things about me. Come on–we’re peers!” Actually, Paul is deceiving himself. Paul expects people to kiss his ring. Paul expects some amount of deference or due recognition of his superior status before he’s ready to partner with a lower status professional.

Surely this is about Peter Thiel. :)
> However, one thing you're unlikely to find in OCaml and which is unfortunately not uncommon in Haskell is functions with a long list of positional parameters (since you have named arguments) or different versions of the same function with a "_" suffix, depending on various defaults (since you have named arguments). It makes a tremendous difference of readability when dealing with complex code.

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing

They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chineese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing

There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung
He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they did it with expert timing

(repeat)..make sure you have expert timing
Kung-fu fighting, had to be fast as lightning

The parts about Sweden's law that I love the most:

1) You can take these 18 months intermittently up until the child is 8 years old.
2) The days can be shared between both parents.
3) Both fathers and mothers are required to take 60 days each of those 480 days (versus one parent taking 421+ days).

"Since Swedish men started to take more responsibility for child rearing, women have seen both their incomes and levels of self-reported happiness increase. Paying dads to change nappies and hang out at playgrounds, in other words, seems to benefit the whole family."

Great country (obviously it has other flaws, but this is not one of them) :)

This is an fairly ignorant post - it's well established that introversion has nothing to do with shyness [0] [1].

One common definition of extroversion vs introversion is that an introvert needs time alone to recharge, whereas an extrovert needs time around people to recharge.

I would suggest doing some reading on the topic to prevent undervaluing a large portion of the population. For example, see [2], or Susan Cain's "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" [3].

Surely that prima facie just means that courts should proceed with cases [that don't challenge the validity] assuming the mark to be valid once registered rather than that once registered the mark can not be challenged. For example genericisation causes a mark to become invalid despite that mark being registered - surely other objections work the same way.

What I was trying to intimate was that someone with big enough cajones could challenge the validity of the mark as being merely descriptive of some goods (TV broadcasts, say) rather than being a proper indicator of origin of goods/services.

ref: http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=0882283, http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=0846056 are some of the early registrations - NFL do appear to have seen off several other registrations and uses to the term "super bowl" (superbol, soul bowl, superbowlz, ...) in court however.

Great work! Relay is really exciting.

My concern is regarding the server-side implementation of the GraphQL endpoint. My understanding is that GraphQL endpoints couple tightly to a graph-oriented backend. Facebook already has TAO so it's a no-brainer, but how feasible do you think a normal SQL-based backend can adapt to efficiently process arbitrary GraphQL queries? Or would it be easier to switch to a graph-oriented database (e.g. neo4j) instead? The former option seems to be quite an engineering endeavor, while the latter is just too risky right now.
My first computer too. Stuck a match in with the RAM pack, along with a bit of Blu-tack to keep it all together. Stunning memories of typing programs in KNOWING they'd be zapped once I pulled the power. Funny thing was we had no TV until we got the ZX81. I spent two weeks with the user manual and no TV: for a long time after that I was irritated by people who didn't RTFM in advance. It still worked last time I tried it. RAM pack'n'all. Very much a treasured possession.
