That's the trick, right? Building just the features you need while keeping it minimal. Alas, that lightweight feature set is going to be different for most people. I'd like an approach of several different libraries where you can

I’m all for a lightweight GraphQL client, but does this do any client side caching? Query diffing? Query merging? To me those are the killer features enabled by GraphQL.

You don’t have to be in ketosis to burn fat for energy. Ever notice how cardio gets harder about 45 minutes in but then gets easy and you can go on for hours? That’s your body running out of stored carbs and switching to burning fat reserve

I would think that the point of writing a single process monolith with components communicating via a bus like this is that it’s a small step to break out one of those components into a separate process and scale it horizontally.

You’re not wrong, homelessness was illegal in the Soviet Union and not in the “we will not rest until everyone has a roof over their heads” kind of way, rather more like “you better be staying at your registered address (raspiska) OR ELSE!”

At my current company we have 4-5 independent teams and the PMs talk among themselves and come up with the roadmap, but then they bring it to their teams and there are multiple opportunities for devs to comment or raise any objections. It w

I think it’s fair. If the management is incompetent and keeps rushing programmers to build poorly thought out features, they’re also usually unable to evaluate the quality. The programmers on the other hand know exactly how bad the things a

It didn’t work for me. It’s one of those things that would be awesome if it worked with a human or better level accuracy, but they never do. Now I’ve wasted a few minutes looking for a penny and good lighting to take a picture - I could hav

You only realize that the field doesn’t support pasting once and don’t attempt it ever again. If it allows pasting, the password will be in the clipboard every time you log in, which arguably could be more times than one.

Yes, yes, and cash only has value because someone else is willing to give you something for it. Congrats, you've realized that it's all made up and nothing is fundamentally valuable!

The article states they have found numerous cases of workers injuring themselves at Amazon warehouses. Let’s hear that number. What percentage of warehouse employees is it? How does it compare to Walmart? Why is everything written these day

Off topic, but why do people here try to “erase” controversial opinions? It literally happens when people downvote something enough, the comment gets lighter until it’s impossible to read. If something gets you thinking deeper about an issu

What’s wrong with a life insurance company getting a more accurate probability of me dying from some rare disease? Maybe my rates should be raised if there’s a higher risk of me kicking the bucket. This works both ways too - my DNA can reve

Did the new ownership fire every developer and middle manager? If not, that means there are folks at the “new” sourceforge that are perfectly happy bundling malware with OSS downloads. It was not addressed in the article at all so I’m not b

I’d say neural networks abstract over successive layers until the answer becomes self evident. That’s not the same as reasoning though.

Preference for less regulation is a normal cultural and personal characteristic, nobody had to implant anything. I don’t view big business as some amorphous entity but rather a collection of people that will do what’s best for them. It’s th

That is assuming the market cares about opting in and security. Since their customer is a business that needs information on you and not you directly, I'd say it doesn't. The pressure to change will need to come from elsewhere.

You're not likely to run multiple threads in NodeJS. If you do need to scale up to multiple threads or processes, SQLite might not be the right choice, but then again it was never designed for that use case.
