Large queries with lots of nesting is exactly the situation I'm in. Perform a mutation and boom - very slow response from useQuery().

Agreed. In one team I managed, we artificially created "red teams" to take opposing view points if we were getting into traps with too much group think. Leaves the teams with confidence in their choices and real buy in, as you sai

This hits home for me right now. I'm currently battling some performance problems related to a lot of "magic" that happens when using the Apollo GraphQL framework and am strongly considering ripping it apart and taking back c

Because it's not particularly ethical? Doesn't seem less deceptive than lying on a CV to me.

I was guessing A was FB due to the one-time mega download (though I've not worked there so I'm not sure if there's a linux VM in that picture)

But doesn't the burger menu usually open/close a drawer? On gmail all it's doing is expanding/collapsing the menu that's always on the screen no matter what. Feels like Google is breaking their own convention here.

How does RDS Postgres beat GCP hosted Postgres? Genuinely curious as we're running on GCP and I'm wondering what we're missing out on.

It doesn't as the two have no connections whatsoever. The point was that Safari is the most battery efficient browser overall on MacOS, so they're willing to put up with sub-standard support for web standards if their battery last

Same here in Norway. Grocery stores are feeling pretty normal these days (didn't check for alcohol gel but toilet paper is bountiful).

In a previous gig I worked on an identity system for a large media company. Using the forgot password link on every login is actually a very common pattern - though I think the reasons most people do it (they log in and are rarely logged ou

Never seen a general purpose utility for this, but some apps clean up their own content. For example, 1password copies your 2FA codes automatically to the clipboard when you log in and then clears them out after a few seconds.

Congrats on launching! I’m curious - do you find people actually power down their laptops? I generally slam the lid shut and shove it in my bag.

Go to Preferences->Profiles->Default and find the option over on the right for "Working Directory". Then set it to "Reuse previous session's directory". Then for me Cmd+D and Cmd+Shift+D (split with current pr

Totally agree. Especially here in Scandinavia where people disappear for 6-12 months at time, their co-workers need to step up.

It has no external dependencies but supports compiling typescript, flow, etc. Does this mean compilers for those will be re-reimplemented inside Rome? Not really looking forward to build tool-specific bugs with those languages.

Assuming you mean the “acquisition” that was rumored around the time of Spotify’s IPO, you may want to check the date of that article: April 1, 2018 https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2018/04/01/spotify-microsof

Not sure I buy that argument. By that reasoning Code written in Go must be more complex than code written in Scala since the language is much less expressive. However in practice I haven’t found that to be the case at all.

Well since this is HN, the overwhelming majority will say DuckDuckGo. I switched to DDG as my default browser search around 3 months ago and it's mostly been fine. However, when I _don't_ find what I'm looking for, I do find

Nice list but for me missing the most difficult pieces - while giving a review, how to not focus on superficial details but instead really take the time to understand the problem and the solution. Making sure you can really understand why t

IANAL, but this is not entirely true. Under GDPR data can be used by claiming "legitimate interest" [0]. In the case of legitimate interest, the user needs to opt-out rather than opt-in. 0: https://www.gdpreu.org/t

Anyone have recommendations for what to use instead with similar ease of use? Our company is about to start a blog and we want non-techies to be able to write articles. We don't to host it ourselves (ideally) though we'd like to u

Completely agree. All of the phrasings he proposes presuppose that the thing he's suggesting makes any sense at all. Why not let the person take you through the design/thought process and then, and only then, if you're still

The biggest benefit for me (I think) would be if the product/design people I work with could find issues and send their recordings to me. Don't think I'll be able to convince them to switch to FF though.

This looks really handy. Quite frequently I want to iterate on a migration without having to write the "down" migration until the "up" migration is done. This will save a lot of DB dropping and re-seeding.
