Hmm, you're not quite thinking in GraphQL properly. That isn't how your schema should be designed. Your mother field should resolve to a Person type, with a mother and/or ancestors field, which would be a graphql list type of

I'm genuinely surprised by the number of people on HN who seem to know very little about what has been safe to call the successor to REST for quite some time. Forgive me if this sounds hyperbolic, but unless you have unusual or strict

Could you clarify what you mean? Got an example?

Great, some meaningless numbers without context.

I agree it seems like a silly thing to do (block browsers without a valid reason, of which there are very few), but to blame JavaScript or modern web development in general is ridiculous. The user agent string is not a JavaScript concept. T

> AFAIK GraphQL is not good at querying recursive datastructure, it's better at "neighborhood" kind of query, so you can traverse Foreign Keys, but not "indefinitely". That isn't true. You can request data i

There's no "The Email Company" to fix such vulnerabilities. Given the damage that could have been caused, the prank is incredibly harmless. At worst it has temporarily embarrassed a few people already shown to be immune to em

Oh come on. It's a form of social engineering and I'd say it has a net benefit for society. These emails have brought to light some weaknesses in these systems. Hopefully they'll be patched very quickly.

Why would you want to use callbacks? Here's a code example from an npm package I was looking at, vs how I would rewrite it in modern JS: https://gist.github.com/scf4/8157abd755eb9c232e87dcc342b78b4... Some of it m

Function declarations work like this typeof myFn === 'function'; // true function myFn() { }

You can technically still use var if you wish, but I'm not sure of any reasons to do so. When switching to let/const, bear in mind the difference in scope: var is function-scoped: (function () { var x = 1; })();

Looks great. I love modern JS, and the faster everyone can move on, the better! I didn't see any async/await stuff though, is there a reason for that? I'd imagine it would make some code much easier to follow.

What why?
315.
by scottmf 9y ago
Yep. They turn a blind eye to all of it because they profit from it. If I weren't so politically burnt out right now I'd call for a Reddit boycott. Either way this thread has reminded me to block it and delete my account because I

Comments on HN can be just as toxic. The only difference is people give a lot of weight to what's posted here.

I feel like accounting for people who like everything would be one of the first things built into such an algorithm. He should try alternating the privacy settings with each post.

They're not writing queries/API calls inside components. They're defining the components' data requirements alongside the components.

It should be able to. I'm using websockets in Apollo with a JS back end.

Take a look at Apollo. https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client

They're not using React right now. If you read the article it says they'll be introducing the new version over the next several months. A lot of this "JS is slow, what happened to good old HTML and CSS, get off my lawn"

Seems like it's all you ever see here lately. I really should avoid reading HN comments on new web technologies.

Isn't that what yarn.lock and NPM shinkwrap are for? I wouldn't recommend putting the entire node_modules dir in git...

It's slower for a reason. I'm not sure why they'd switch after a decade simply because Google asked them to.

It's 2017. All modern browsers support JS and it's no longer reasonable to expect all websites to work very well without it.
