While I appreciate he put in a lot of work (thank you for the theme) - Material Design is someone else's work as well..

Lol, I forgot all about that - though there were some cute chicks over there. I remember chatting with one about her upcoming French Toast test :-)

Ah I got there 1/93 so may have missed. I remember going to "fundies", getting called "pinger", etc. Good times.

I agree with you, but the issue afaik is that B-52 was more flexible whereas the B-70 was basically single purpose and basically obsoleted by ICBMs. B-52s were able to pivot to new roles so have stayed around. I'm humbled for us laughi

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something but your first link seems to show a solid lead by the conservative party?

Yeah it's not partisan to wonder if it's a political move to maximize annoyance to point blame back at the current administration. Similar to teachers having to buy their own pencils etc but school administrators and their retirem

> Your naive GraphQL API, on the other hand, will let me query large chunks of your database at a time No it won't, because it's not tied directly to the database and does not allow for arbitrary queries. Any of the "aha!&

I think the OP is possibly confusing GraphQL with an ORM like Active Record. You are correct that you don't accidentally "expose" any more data than you do with REST or some other APIs. It's just a routing and payload

by gedy 2y ago
This is a silly argument and sounds like a hot take from someone who's never used this. You could say the same about REST or whatever. It has nothing to do with "the database".

Over 50 and yes I do. Especially when am WFH and can ignore office politics, posturing, and ladder climbing. As someone who is not a status-seeking individual, I don't need to "see and be seen", and it pays well.

No when I say "schema" I mean the GraphQL structure, not your DB schema. The GraphQL structure can be totally independent from your DB if need be, and (GraphQL) queries on those types via API can resolve however you need and are d

by gedy 2y ago
GraphQL is not arbitrary queries into your database! Folks need to really quit misunderstanding that. You can define any schema and relations you want, it's not an ORM.

If not clear from headline, this means the much cheaper compounded semiglutide won't be available soon. I just got approved for semiglutide this morning (not covered by insurance), and wow the price difference between compounded and br

Makes sense, though if the OP says he's tired of startups and wanting a "normal job", might have make some tradeoffs in the perfect role.

You would be fine with some looking assuming you have common tech stack experience, also do you have a technical degree? In either case the leet code nonsense is probably unavoidable so worth some time as well. Have you tried who's hir

Not at all, as keep in mind they pack up a (random) operational ICBM and crew from Wyoming, South Dakota or wherever and transport it to Vandenberg SFB in California to test launch it from there.

by gedy 2y ago
I think that's fine, have seen this published publicly before. A major part of the test is the operational testing, so the crews who actually do the test fire treat it exactly like they would in the field, and are isolated from the mo

Not my post but used to work on these test launches years ago. I can answer some not-classified questions.

These mostly end up in the Kwajalein Atoll lagoon, and they are quite monitored, lol.

They've been testing launching these since the 60s, and they are honestly quite reliable given their complexity

As someone who did Java WebApps for 10 years - they sucked if you cared about making a good user interface. I thought JS was bad at the time, but node.js was a breath of fresh air for API development, and client side JS has been fine for li

> people are distracted during meetings It feels like he's just old and pining for days gone by - in person meetings have people staring at their laptops and phones too. I dislike that as well, but that's not a WFH issue.
