OOP classes (well, their instances) combine data and functionality into a single "thing" (well, object). Inheritance is nasty because you are not just composing structures of data or interfaces of functionality but both at the sam

foo = foo || {} "mark foo as being foo if it is already defined or as an empty new object {} if it is not" It's just to not accidentally set a already defined foo as an empty object incase foo is already defined. Yeah

I think there are two answers here that also point out a couple things about the question & its framing: 1) Because almost no project is just CRUD Web UIs. There are always so many small and big details that deviate from the CRUD Model.

It's certainly doable and has been done. However, it's not as pretty as the rest of GraphQL and there's still a lot of work to be done. And comparing to something like Django/Rails - there's a lot more DIY involved.

Actually, my point was about losing control over queries when using JoinMonster (say, you wanna do something fancy like Postgres' to_json, array_agg that JoinMonster doesn't support). However, I totally understand the confusion in

GraphQL is a very nice spec for building APIs that have many sources of data and then building a modern frontend with proper caching etc. on top of it. The ugliest part of it, or one requiring most hacky solutions, is optimising queries. Fo

Well it was about the damn time! A lot of ICOs are borderline (or just straight) scams. There have been even cases where the ICO funds have been "stolen" but rumours say the founders just took the money and ran. A lot of the so c

The statement "Country X has a lot of startups" also applies to more or less any Scandinavian country (and Finland, which isn't part of Scandinavia but part of the Nordic countries). One thing to note about Norway: they might

Visual mode is slow and awkward compared to what ST can do with cmd+D, for example. IME, vim actually loses in performance too when editing multiple lines.

Agreed. However, this is unfeasible/impractical. Ain't nobody got time for that. Are there any commercial or non-profit organisations that maintain lists/repos of audited and trusted software with their checksums? It seems li

so how does that one-liner transform data from log A to log B in realtime? are talking about creating a new table or materialised views or stored procedures or...?

Postgres could in fact be used here by creating an append-only table similar to: id, data (JSON field) However, Postgres doesn't have good support for creating derived append-only logs (=streams) from that table. Kafka has Kafka Stream

if you read more closely, this article is not about the amount of data, but the way how it is managed.

I almost always roll a basic Makefile for even simple web projects. PHONY commands like "make run" and "make test" in every project make context switching a bit more easier. While things like "npm start" are ni

It seems we have some mismatch between the abstraction layer where we want to talk about cryptocurrencies and how their actual implementation goes. IMHO, we are venturing to the domain of lawyers; most people are not just going to be saying

Not quite like a stock split. In stock splits its almost guaranteed that the total valuation is similar. This is wild, wild cryptoland. At the moment both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash are rising - so a lot of "free" money (at least in

Well, at least they have the best appearance. As in, UX, UI, Docs, APIs, service design etc. are all top notch. Which would make it probable (but not certain) that the more technical parts are well engineered too. Coinbase is doing perhaps

Using Clojure as the first language is interesting. Being one of the most expressive and efficient (I am not talking about clock cycles here) languages I've used, I think it will set a great mindset for programming. Clojure is declarat

"had I more time, I would've written a shorter letter". Remember that "in simple terms" does not mean easy or over simplifying something. To me it means making a to-the-point and jargon-free explanation.
