I'm surprised a 1930's era pseudoscience is still hanging around professional law enforcement circles. The optimist in me hopes it's a clever ruse to screen people who simply aren't team fit. The pessimist tells me they&

And to add to your list: SilverStripe framework 4.0. Their PaaS solution is pretty pricey, but it's opensource so you can run it yourself. Their software ecosystem is mature as well, as they've been around for a while.

The Santa Clara principles are already outdated. Most large sites use learning algorithms to promote content that is advertiser friendly. So for example, if advertisers on Youtube don't like the content you watch you'll be shown l

Sure. The first issue I came across was that the relay compiler expects a strict specification when mutating data, one that wasn't compatible with the server library I was using. Expect to write your own server side scaffolder to get a

I went down the path of learning Relay instead of Apollo. I'm regretting this decision. Relay is too restrictive, and the relay compiler is far too sensitive for most server side endpoints.

Dependency hell is one of the main reasons why developers are flocking to bloated solutions such as election: a single monolithic dependency with guaranteed cross functionalist behavior. Most build tools are stuck in the 70-80's where

Vulkan is a horrible choice for a web standard. Their hardware support is abysmal, the only graphics hardware that supports it was made from 2012 on wards. Even then a decent chunk of the support is experimental: https://en.wikip
