I would think that once enforcement becomes automated (and thus applies to those with resources, who currently get away with it), there would be a lot of pressure on the legislature (by those who currently get away with it) to make the rule

Genuine question: What is stopping some small percent of drivers from installing cameras and using ML to identify cars driving dangerously (e.g. speeding, running reds, changing multiple lanes at once, etc.), and when their license plate is

Certainly, if you can either force your clients to refresh their browsers or can tolerate clients breaking, that works! That might work great for internal tools, for example (as long as no work is lost when you refresh, or you can just expe

You want to execute a single query for a given page for performance. But whether a field is included in the query should depend on whether a component uses that field. If you write the raw query without fragments, you introduce implicit cou

I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying swr allows for fragments and deduplication? If you don't have fragments (in particular, if you have a single call to an swr hook at the root), then you have implicit deduplication. But then yo

GraphQL gives you the ability to compose fragments, so if the UserDetail component and UserPaymentInfo component both use the user’s name, it is loaded once. With ad hoc solutions like tRPC, you end up fetching the same field multiple times

This solution works very well, and I’m surprised that others on this thread do not take advantage of persisted queries. Yes, it’s recreating REST, except that you don’t need to version endpoints, etc. The source of truth is the front end re

Folks on this thread should check out Isograph: https://isograph.dev and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO65JJRqjuc . GraphQL has a lot of advantages, the most important of which is data masking. In a properly s

The problem with REST (or really, any current non GraphQL solution) is there is only an implicit link between the consumer of a field and the query declaration. So, REST queries are append only, especially at large organizations where incre

Isograph is very much a work in progress, and more of an experiment to the improve developer experience of building GraphQL-backed apps than a production-ready framework. The other frameworks are production-ready. It has a lot of similariti

This was an entertainingly written piece. Threads, as an MVP, does not yet have the ability to see only content from those you follow. That hardly means it won't. Already, activity from those you follow shows up first in your feed, so

Yes, the requirement that static constructors are used makes this substantially less ergonomic than it would otherwise be for the reasons you point out. Some of the React hooks in Isograph use this pattern, and as a result the constructor r

In my opinion, this is a flawed proposal. The disposer should not be a method on the object, because it means it cannot pass around the resource without the risk that the recipient of the resource disposes it themselves. A safer alternative

As someone who would like to use SQL to return a tree-like structure, how well does this scale (in terms of readability, performance, etc.) when the query is extremely large and nested? For example, if we are attempting to replace GraphQL w
