I absolutely think GraphQL will be the way forward once it evolves a bit further but I have 2 immediate concerns with this: > As we've seen, we could attempt to use GraphQL to execute scripts, including conditional statements and ev

Well I’d love to give GPT3 the abstract as a starting point and see what comes out the other end!

This is very neat looking and at some point I may give this a go to control Spotify. One concern I have though is with this running the LED light on camera is always going to be active (which is fine) but I then won't know if some othe

This website is a choreography of poor UX. starting with an easy to miss ‘continue reading’ button - purpose not clear and continuing with injected links and other distractions mid-article. I had to go through it twice before I actually got

Only related to ‘low-power’ AI I recently came across Ogma[1] And though the combination of online learning and something that works on a Raspberry Pi was fascinating. Surprised it’s not appeared on here before [1] https://ogma.a

With stuff like this being exfiltraded (let’s admit if hackers got this they prob could have a whole ton of fab secrets) it won’t be long until America’s IP is all in the hands of China/Russia/Europe. We will have confirmation whe

How many other criminals can avoid jail time right now due to the Covid threat?

Oh and it also becomes more obvious for people who may not have access to the source code that its there!

I think its a bad idea to hard-code anything like that. If you have to do it then accept it as a command-line argument or read it from a config file - at least then it can be backed-out with an application restart instead of a recompile.

I was in a situation where it went NOTICED for months but the managers were too scared to fire him (a contractor so should have been easy) because there was some 'HR mess-up' that they were very cagey with details on.

But the employer wanted a full-stack developer, everything else is just details! I’ve seen worse code than this. How about a hard coded backdoor check that looked like: || pw == “debug0”

I understand why but on the other hand, there is a sense these vaccines are being rushed and the obvious question is what corners have been cut (if any). The last thing we would need is for anti-vaxxers to have a genuine concern and this ra

Nice! Thanks. Postgres is just amazing in so many respects. The work you guys do contribute to that.

I live in Europe and I never understood the in-network and out-of-network concept (I know what it is, I just see it is ripe for abuse). So I wonder, why hasn't Congress enacted legislation to put a ceiling on out-of-network charges to

Perl does have a fair few quirks but those that know it are probably content for it to stay the way it is and those who don't like it have probably moved to another language. Personally, I don't like a major version of a programmi

Have you been following ZHeap and do you think Timescale will benefit from a storage engine like that (less write amplification)?

Meh, author certainly has a point about K8s being overkill for 99.9% people out there. Unless you need to operate at a certain scale (that most people never will) then Kubernetes is like taking an F1 car onto a regular road. Recipe for pain

Guys, this is really really cool. Been looking to learn Rust and it just so happens I need to write a Postgres extension in the near future so two birds and one stone. Btw - Also, I've seen ZomboDB and while I've not used it I mu

I am fairly certain it wasn't the recruiter who put in the experience requirement. My dis-interest wasn't due to the recruiter but to do with whichever manager thought they needed needed more experience than the age of a product -

No doubt someone is gonna update their CV to show 12 years of Kubernetes, apply, and get the job being the only suitable applicant with the required experience.

This happened to me - got a call from a recruiter who said client needed 10 years. I replied 'I was a teenager back then' to which she said 'so you don't have enough experience?'. I responded 'Well I helped cre

Missed that thanks. Sounds like their tech was too complicated to maintain cost effectively. However, that isn't a valid justification to not open-source the code. I also read this comment on their blog 'We do this for free, inves

I hope no one sees this as insensitive but would they consider open sourcing the platform? Might find a 2nd home amongst people that would self-host?

Well if AWS was the sole culprit then they could have spent time to migrate to a Hetzner or OVH. I think I read their revenues were 1500/mo - not nearly enough to pay for running costs and a single founder salary.

What ever you try to do with JSON has probably been tried before with XML. Including XML databases. Now I’ll accept that XML databases has their use (especially if it involved storing and transforming third-party XML) but I can’t think of a

Ok so this is just a re-packaging of GraalVM by RedHat. Which is great for those who want nothing to do with Oracle. But I see this as the only plus - there really are no other differentiators. Keep in mind the relevant license here: GPLv

I know the average user probably doesn’t care much for URLs but I definitely do and it seems a chunk of HN crowd are with me. Would it be THAT hard to have a toggle option in the Settings so those who want to could preserve the URL?
