If you have time, I have a question I haven't been able to answer reading the docs or skimming the linked book. My company's front end apps communicate exclusively with a GraphQL orchestration layer. I tried a while back to learn

Yeah I seriously doubt that. Not without a lens that costs 3x-4x times the camera. If you spent 500€ on a kit that makes iPhone or Pixel photos look bad... you bought it stolen, lol.

That's probably true. The benefits of local business are 1) that dollars spent there generate more wealth for the local economy, as they're not extracted to offshore bank accounts; and 2) that there can be more accountability to

Right. Regulation is what works, but it's not a magic wand. We can't keep allowing industries to write their own regulations without meaningful public input.

You misunderstand. The third group is not only companies that sell software-based products, the third group includes companies that use software to sell their products or manage other aspects of the business. Having an in-house online store

No, it's roughly 200 million years too early for woody plants. Rocks aplenty, though.

Although it absolutely chugs after a while on my PC, The Sapling [1] is a newer sandbox game which simulates evolution pretty effectively. It's simple and made by one person, don't expect too much. But at its core it is fulfillin

No, activism and legislation are the only things that can even potentially hold back these kinds of unethical business practices. There's no way you're going to educate enough of the general public and make them care enough about

It means I, for example, wish I didn't know how to use WP and PHP so I didn't have to work on them in our legacy apps. Because I don't want to write or read PHP. I'm much happier when I don't have to. Get paid the s

Or, again, make it easier to raise kids. Subsidize childcare, or even better, allow zoning that stimulates community development so people have free childcare in their neighbors or extended family living nearby.

On the other hand, there's no evidence this stuff isn't influencing elections either, is there? It's happening, and people are believing it, so I'd say it's almost self-evident that it's influencing elections
