Look into postgrest instead of graphQL as well and use the database as a flexible middle layer to construct your API on demand. http://postgrest.com/en/v0.4/

(repost) Statistics about my situation (1992, Austria): These are the statistics about traffic-accidents back then. Unfortunately there's no distinction whether the children were in the car or walking/cycling. * Austria had 7.8 mi

I agree. And it's different if a child is 4 or 9 years old. I posted some statistics: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13549214

For those interested: I live in Austria, the year of my story was about 1992. These are the statistics about traffic-accidents back then. Unfortunately there's no distinction whether the children were in the car or walking/cycling

I see your point, but don't you think it's possible to teach children to cross traffic safely? When I was little, I regularly walked 3 or 4 miles to visit friends. I had to cross at least one "big" road on my way, where

"never have a problem with multi-threading again" was not meant literally. Rather that grasping the concept of "sharing data by communicating" helps you structure your programs.
248.
by cel1ne 10y ago
I think it helps a lot. I read about the principle (share data by communicating) 10 years ago and structure most of my multi-threaded apps using BlockingQueues or similar. Didn't have a problem since.

Look up communicating sequential processes and never have a problem with multi-threading again.

Yes of course, because people are often busy or too lazy to think the answer through. But that doesn't matter, I can work with the subset. Sometimes the questions resolve themselves, sometimes I just write another email, it really depe

Reading an API's documentation doesn't mean that the mental overhead when using it is gone. You still have to think about how the pieces fit together, how to get from generic examples to your specific case etc. I can dream up APIs

After having read the API I decided to use a hand-written navigator instead of ReactNative's. Key was to explicitly expose the z-index/component-ordering, so what it does is accepting a "render-list" of compnentName&#x2F

Why not use it on a file-to-file basis in a Java-project. That is exactly what the makers thought of.

From the wikipedia article: "As with similar "laws" (e.g., Murphy's law), it is intended as a humorous adage rather than always being literally true."

There's a book you might want to recommend: "The emotional life of your brain" by Richard Davidson. Written by a neuroscientist, it gives a thorough, scientifically tested framework for classifying traits of personality and c

And sometime a workaround is the best solution you'll get. Because solving the problem properly might introduce new issues, which might require new workarounds.

I tend to read books after I've tinkered with something for a couple of weeks, to fill in the blanks. But what I actually wanted to point out is that learning bash doesn't seem to have a giant appeal to OP. If it had, he wouldn&#x
268.
by cel1ne 10y ago
That is actually very correct. I remember reading a book about the Shell and bash 15 years ago. It was the only book I read about the topic, but it helped me a great deal to develop an intuition about what it can do. Didn't prevent me

by cel1ne 10y ago
Why do you even set yourself such a goal? Just learn to use it when you need it, or when you have a task, where you suspect that it might be faster done in bash.
