Since when does Apple make major software update announcements at Christmas?

At the risk of sounding like an Apple apologist, Apple has a pretty good (though not perfect) track record for privacy and security. Microsoft on the other hand… well, I understand they just pulled the recall feature after it was discovered

Google was cool, once upon a time, but they always used your personal info pretty openly. The CEO a himself famously said, “The Google policy on a lot of things is to get right up to the creepy line and not cross it.” Apple has taken a mark

I’m working on a prototype now but I deliberately made it run entirely in the browser (indexeddb) to avoid the problem that I might be asked to put it in production!

The only thing that matters is the implementation of the system you’re communicating with or using. With any luck, their interpretation of the specification will be similar enough to yours that you can communicate. The only wishful thinking

This is just whataboutism. Maybe you don’t know this but there are many alternatives to both neo-capitalism and authoritarianism. Tim is not blaming capitalism. Without wanting to put words in his mouth, I think he’s blaming unfettered capi

I can’t imagine how annoying it would be if we had to write queries in JSON! writing queries is stupid easy if you use a tool like GraphIQL especially with the explorer.
106.
by doctor_eval 2y ago
But if you write the query to use variables, the variables are json. JSON is great (though not perfect) as an interchange format, but it’s decidedly not a query language.
107.
by doctor_eval 2y ago
I just reread my post. I meant to say that GraphQL requests , not queries, are JSON. Of course the query itself is not json, why should it be? It describes the shape of a json object, and queries are generally pretty static. But the reque

So you’re not familiar with AngularJS, the incompatible version 1? Angular 2 was effectively a complete rewrite - cleverly using the same name, thereby making it even more difficult for us - and the rewrite was done because Google Decided.

Agree with this 100%, Postgraphile is awesome. I started a new project recently and was writing “REST” APIs because I’d been reading that people were put off by GraphQL, but it was a complete pain - instead of exposing my data and querying

by doctor_eval 2y ago
What do you mean? Both GraphQL queries and results are JSON. The query expression is just a json string. Are you referring to the schema language?

Yeah I recently lost a chunk of hearing and all I can say is, you will miss it. Much better to wear headphones than to need hearing aids (also: some forms of hearing loss aren’t helped by hearing aids. Mine, for example).

It’s not the cost of chargers or construction, or even the battery capacity, but the cost of transmission and delivery of the energy to charge them that has been the main problem. Urban bus operations are just one aspect of the bus industry

I happen to work in the bus industry and the way we work, at least, is the buses are all out working by day and in the depot at night - there’s a lot less demand for bus ops during the night. For a variety of reasons, you don’t really want
