The diameter of an atom is between 0.1 to 0.5 nanometers. Does it mean when the researchers build a 0.1nm scale we can't expect to have any more improvements in chip production?

Sure. Here is a story from 4 years ago. [1] Barclays says blockchain cut this process from 10 days to 4 hours. [1] https://www.reuters.com/article/us-banks-barclays-blockchain...

It's not in the public eye. The blockchain is only accessible to trusted parties, like banks and merchant representatives.

No, we don't. That's why it's slow and expensive to trade across borders, especially if the counterparties have never done business before. It's an arduous process of proving creditworthiness through letters of credit. Y

Banking systems are complex. You can't build a single centralized system that works for everyone, let alone get everyone to trust each other on the system. The solution needs to be decentralized, trustworthy and provide built-in checks

Permissioned blockchains can be useful in trade finance and international trade. Financial transactions across borders can be delayed to allow for clearance and settlement between several institutions, which requires multiple banking system

I wouldn't call that creepy, either. You were opted-in to a feature that makes your account more secure and it is better for you to have more security than less security. It's for your own good and protects you against real creepy

There is nothing creepy about 2-factor authentication.

You can borrow against it.

There is some truth to that. They are designed to serve a number of personas in an organization, so if you just need to do one thing or another, they will seem overly complex, but I think you could say the same thing about a cockpit or any

Snowpack is a bundler, not a build tool. It works with a variety of file formats, and it uses esbuild to compile JS/TS assets.

by picardo 6y ago
esbuild can be a good alternative to Webpack in some cases, but Webpack solves a lot of edge cases well. For example, just today I debugged an issue where a library had used `require` in an ES module instead of `import`, and that broke the

Just a throwaway line, written, no doubt, in a fit of high-mindedness.

Yep, that's probably what I'll end up doing.

hey, thanks. That sounds interesting, but this is a volunteer project. I'm donating my time, so I don't think I can justify a service like that right now. The datasets are around 200MB each, just over the 100MB limit of Github.

Thanks for making Datasette! I've been using it to build a project to make US ranked choice election results more accessible. It's very intuitive and easy to use. The main difficulty for me is how to get around the limitation that

It's not mentioned in the article but Amazon had disabled their affiliate link program for Goodreads ahead of this announcement, which cut off a major source of their revenue for them, and forced them to sell. They had no choice. The s

Wow. That's crazy. I can't imagine what they're thinking. The weird thing is I have gone on Linkedin and looked for who they hired after a role I applied for is closed, and it's usually journeyman programmers who don&#x2

I'm a full stack dev with 16 years of experience. I've applied to various roles at Thorn nearly 30 times over the last 6 months. Never even got a rejection. I realize it's a small team and there are a lot of applicants, but I

I do this sometimes, but I don't email the people. It's a personal exercise. It was recommended to me by a therapist. While it does lift up my spirits and fill me gratitude and compassion, it'd make me feel worse if the perso

I never used Absinthe, but if you're initializing an ORM in your resolver, loading the entire record into memory is unavoidable. How does Absinthe get around that? (Sounds like it generates the SQL?)

I haven't used Apollo Server lately. But the way you describe it doesn't address the core issue, which is the initialization of the intermediate objects in-memory. So just to give an example, if I wanted to query for the projects

I'm not sure if this is mentioned in the thread, but one of the reason it takes so long for the requests to return is when GQL initializes the entire record in memory and then reduces it back to only the fields you wanted. This can be

True, but these requests cannot be made simultaneously. The code is loaded only when the UI needs it.

I think what he is saying is since there is a network delay of 300ms for every request, it's better for him to make a single request for a large file than to have to make 10 requests for 200k files and wait 300ms * 10.

Is there a similar conversion tool for Flow types?
