GraphQL doesn't allow for recursive types. This limitation cropped up in a project and was a frustrating (re)discovery. You have to pick a maximum depth and explicitly define that depth. It abuses POST. No way to tell by a quick glance

I don't think so. Apple builds an insanely strong core from which any and all other teams can (maybe must) build on top of and use to power their team's platform. You have a core messages team for example - off of which Mac, iPhon

The benefit of AI is it will make workers more efficient and free up workers and thus businesses to focus on additional projects and problems, create new tools, grow, etc. One real issue I hope we resolve is to then see workers benefit from

As simple as it is, this idea manifests in even the alignment of the screws on an outlet cover being horizontal and aligned to each other instead of random wherever they end up. It's about showing intention and thought through your wor

This gets even worse in tests. People notice a handful of tests with similar structure (setup, tear down, assertions etc) - debugging those future test failures that now share a common abstraction becomes a pita and destroys confidence in t

Agreed - communication is important. This should be the very first sentence. Keep your TV screen off while playing audio through your Apple TV. Then the page can go into why they built this, the problem it solved, the benefits, challenges e

What's more revealing is how easy it is to maximize FDIC for large sums of money. You can get 250k per account per institution. That also applies to joint accounts. If you have a spouse and two kids you can get 5 insured accounts per i

higher interest rates encourage more saving and less spending. If the going interest rate is 0% you're much more likely to spend money in the economy somehow - goods, services, stocks etc. If the going interest rate goes up to 5% are y

I've used this guide as a reference and now feel pretty good with a lot of FP concepts and why they exist - pure functions, monads vs applicative vs functors, referential transparency etc It's easy to understand Lists, Options, Ei

Don't worry - the Twitter web team also made this mistake. But they made it at a time when TS was popular instead of earlier when the two were equally popular. Even well after TS was clearly the better option (as in 2022) the twitter w

I'm gonna stick with neovim - from the Zed homepage seems like its using all the same base technologies, Treesitter, LSP, and some out of the box support for the capabilities these base layers offer.

I enjoy the flexibility to work from home. I’ve found wfh however disastrous personally. I am single and live alone. I have a great social life and see family often. Even so, work is a vital social outlet for me. Joining a company remotely

JSX has been around for 7 or so years... that's a good amount of time. Over half of your 13 years :) Do you avoid JSX when using Vue or other libraries that support JSX? Are you invoking the library function directly - React.createElem

FB's reputation has no bearing on my choosing react vs svelte vs x or y or z. I continue to pick React for projects because it's better than the alternatives - not because others before me have picked it and I'm just copycatt

React definitely continues to innovate. Functional components and hooks were a huge innovation to class components and significantly improved the ergonomics of the library. That was only a few years ago. The team is actively working on RSC

I personally much prefer not using cash. I also do not trust checks - they can be stolen, washed, changed to be cashed by someone other than the intended recipient. We still need a better way though to transact between individuals and busin

Yes! Forgot about this part. Lots of funds are focused on capital preservation - if the market is down 20% in a year, a funds goal will be to be even (0%) or maybe down slightly like 3-4%. They may be less focused of being up 20% when the m

If every investor was buying only index funds, all it takes is one investor to find one stock that has great fundamentals and is undervalued relative to its performance. They will beat out the other investors on this one pick. Once someone

He has to in order to get TV time. He's moved on from being content with being rich - now he's after fame, presence, and recognition and the only way you get that in finance is in making "the end is coming" predictions.

My take is the watch is more successful because I don't need any special apps to take full advantage of it. I love what apple has built around it - health and fitness monitoring primarily but also siri integration (setting reminders, a

No other language or framework seems to get the same scrutiny as JavaScript. The Enterprise Java solutions never seem to get as much discussion but we all recognize it also as being equally if not more so absurd[1]. This is true of every la

This can be a tricky subject to get right. What I found useful for this aspect of functional programming was having to implement a new monad as the result of a real engineering exercise. https://sambernheim.com/blog/bui

I like FP - I think that engineering and writing code in a way that would also let it be written in all the craziness of full FP style means you found the right abstraction - but I would never write it that way. A nice example from the arti
