The graphql spec does include a DSL to describe the api though, so this is similar to that specific piece. The DSL powers a lot of what people like about grapqhql, like auto-generating a client sdk with type safety. This library does seem t

I’ve been trying to get access to Adobe’s RMSDK for months, but their email is just a brick wall. A dev I know who works at Adobe said he can’t find any internal docs for it either. Does anyone know what’s going on with it? Anyway, this is

Exactly, if a medium-sized company is struggling with Postgres, either they have very niche requirements or the scalability problems are in their own code.

No, plenty of tech debt is caused by over-engineering or pre-maturely optimizing for the wrong thing. I'm not sure if the second outcome is meant to blame Postgres specifically on under-engineering in general, but neither seems to me l

If the problem is needing more competent people, that tends to be an expensive problem to solve because competent people generally cost more to hire.

When I said "UX designers often take this from granted", what I meant was "literally every single UX designer I have ever worked with professionally has taken this for granted".

It is not universally true that accessibility efforts always benefit everyone. For example, implementing ARIA markup on HTML only benefits those using assistive technology. If developers don't know how to make web services accessible,

My takeaway is that the chip's goal is to provide a way to produce random numbers with some configurable distribution that is faster and more energy efficient. As far as the feasibility and impact on AI in general, I have no idea.

I think radiatori has some additional advantages compared to this. Its shape is more symmetrical, so more consistent saucing, and it's easy to get the right size bite with a fork. Eating this pasta seems a bit awkward due to the asymme

In this case, I would take discerning to mean noticing smaller details that other people might notice. That doesn't preclude having preferences. Also, $5 for a pound doesn't really seem like a lot of money. Pasta is cheap in gener

I work as a staff employee at the university library. I expect there are a lot of similarities to working at a smaller company or for the government. Here are some specifics, some good, some bad: - Schools have a certain vibe. The campus wh

I work as an engineer at a university. The pay isn't great but cost of living is a fraction of somewhere like SF. The pace of work is pretty relaxed. The interview process was more relaxed too, less intense problem-solving and more con

"Moving parts" is a metaphor for pieces of a system that add operational complexity, and it's not a useful metaphor in this case because a language just having some feature doesn't add any operational complexity

by nfw2 3y ago
A language feature isn't a moving part. I would say that what makes a language "powerful" is the capacity to express complex concepts simply. CSS and HTML are not a languages built for expressing complex concepts at all

All the examples in this blog post use CSS to implement the functionality of the widget, not just appearance of them. By your own reasoning, that should be handled by JS, not CSS

Why is choosing the least powerful language for a given purpose a core principle of web development? If a language has flexible abstractions, it can make hard tasks possible, and ALSO make simpler tasks easier. Whereas a language with clunk

But Larry David explicitly did not recommend FTX. He got paid to say he didn’t like it in a comedy sketch. I don’t see how anyone with any knowledge of Larry would reasonably conclude that he is genuinely into crypto after that ad.

With the rate AI is accelerating, it's possible that nothing akin to a CAPTCHA may be viable soon. That sort of verification is already approaching the threshold of what's reasonable to ask humans to solve.
