The issue I've seen with GraphQL isn't necessarily the count of queries run, but rather the performance or said queries (i.e. most SQL queries are not performant without proper indexes for the specific use case, but GraphQL allows

The issue with GraphQL tends to be unoptimized joins instead. Is your GraphQL API available for public consumers? How do you manage them issuing inefficient queries? I've most often seen this countered through data loaders (batched que

Oh interesting. This claim makes more sense, but I'm actually surprised by it too - my memory of things is that Sublime Text 2 (released 2012) was one of the most popular editors for scripting languages (JS, PHP, Python, etc.) However,

VS Code was not based on Atom's code base.

Pedantic, but VS Code does not share a lineage with Atom, besides the fact that it is built on Electron (which was, admittedly, originally built for Atom.)

I think you might be missing the point of this quote, which is that you don't have to introduce additional code into the model to support MCP. MCP happens at a different layer. You have to run the MCP commands. Or use a client that doe

I'm not sure this contradicts GP's point - this reinforces that the author is comfortable using a different product (AirVisual Pro) and may therefore, almost paradoxically, struggle more with a product that displays data different

Github was originally written in Ruby on Rails back in 2008. React was released to the public in 2013 (though it was in use at Facebook prior to that.) If we inspect the source for Github back in 2010 on the Wayback Machine[0], we can see t

I know a number of people who report memory issues since starting statins. They also clearly exhibit memory issues but it's hard as an outsider to pinpoint when they started. Unfortunately, they really do need statins.

Most of how the NSA operates is classified but this does not sound far-fetched to me in the slightest. Cloud providers frequently provide law enforcement information via subpoena. It's not really "breaking in." From 2015, AWS
