I have always felt that "center" was less a matter of the specific opinion positions* , and more a matter of the style of discourse, or the degree of nuance presented about the varying opinions for a particular topic. That may be

So far so good, especially on the front-end. We love the queries, the caching downside don't bother us too much , but mutations make me a little nervous (conceptually, ecumenically, grammatically...). On the server side, it is a mixed

Looks good. I think it will be of great help to anyone reading it to have those two links for a little framing.

Authorization != Authentication. Pas, who you are responding to, used the more ambiguous abbreviation of "auth", but I was specifically referring to authorization, not authentication. So once you are authenticated, i.e. once I kno

Solid writeup. Happy to see I am not crazy in the conclusions I had drawn in my first GraphQL project. Or if I am crazy, at least I am not alone. However, on the topics of pagination and authorization, it took many hours of comparing differ

This is very back of the napkin guesswork, but here goes: If part of the pitch is that, more than just "vertical" farming, it is "vertical urban" farming (e.g. for logistical advantage of proximity to demand), that wou

I have followed a few companies in this space over the years (I believe only one of which has survived), and a few in adjacent spaces, e.g. general urban farming, not necessarily "vertical". My enthusiasm aside, and based on some

I agree that this is not an exceptionally insightful blogpost. With that in mind, wrapping this in <rant> tags is a lot like being the person who says "I apologize in advance if I act like an ass today but..." It doesn'

That the W3690 is not the same uarch as the W3670 and W3680 is weird as all hell. Even weirder that it differs from the X5690, to which it is almost identical. Did they start selling the W3690 before the other Xeon W-series SKUs? Saw the he

Interesting. They all work fine for me. I wonder why? I have tested on Firefox 59 and Chrome 65 in Linux.

Oh wow, and it's even kind of a neat effect! Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately it only works with the scroll wheel, or scroll events on a trackpad. It works finger-crampingly slow with my scroll wheel, about 15 full seconds of constant

For what it's worth, and setting aside opinions on the design itself, at least https://dropbox.design/ never steals focus or disables core navigation keys in frustrating, alternating ways.

This is one of the most frustrating page navigation experiences I have had in long a while. I tend to scroll with pgup/pgdn or arrow keys (or more occasionally, space/shift+space) and when I got to the big "IBM" logo the

Apologies, I intended that as a shorthand for "fiat currency" the way the parent post had ("there's no way back to fiat for a lot of them"). I did not mean the bare word "fiat", and will update my post a

When did they leave fiat currency at all if they are using Bitcoin? Is not cryptocurrency the ultimate fiat currency? It only has worth because we all "agree" it does via supply and demand for the currency itself, rather than any

Oh, definitely. My post was not intended to be criticism of Intel. I sure as hell couldn't offer a strategy to a multinational semiconductor giant and hope to do any better. Mostly I am amused at how things come full circle: the Knight

Slight point of nuance: The Xeon Phi model mentioned in the article is not a coprocessor. The original Xeon Phi MIC coprocessors, which have been EoL since 2013 or 2014 [0], were known as Knight's Corner or "KNC" for short. T

I want fewer fossil fuels as much as the next guy, and while the core argument about ICEs is beyond my expertise, the data the author presents seems to support it so that's pretty neat. However, I take issue with the article's cas

Your guess is incorrect. I have the most expensive available from that lineup at the time of purchase. I might be mis-remembering but I recall there being two i7 offerings (plus an i5 version) and I shelled out for the more expensive one.
