This one feels like the list-maker is struggling to communicate with me rather than telling me a surprising truth. I can't tell whether it's meant to mean "a TCP segment won't always fit 1:1 into an IP packet (but in the

Putting a dataloader in front of batch APIs usually works okay. You end up with round trips but they're 1+1 and inside the data centre. I've used AST traversal to compute joins a couple of fields ahead + custom resolvers that only

It depends on what you're doing. On some projects we've put the job queue into our database, which works great at low and medium traffic volumes and means we can do exactly the same thing for external systems if they let us send t

This does not match my experience. If the root query lets you query a user of type User, and the User object embeds an array photos of type [Photo], then there are two possibilities: either the resolver for user is loading the photos and l

I was responding to someone who was talking about one-by-one checks in REST. It is in fact true that using one-by-one checks in GraphQL is pretty similar to using them in REST. You can do the equivalent of applying middleware at a routing l

You don't treat resolvers like RESTful endpoints. You check that the user has permission to access the object (edit: or other value) which the resolver returns. This has nothing to do with RPC and does not stop you using the "grap

The permissions checking is one-by-one checks. It's exactly as hard a mistake to make in GraphQL as it is in REST unless you've got more resolvers than an equivalent REST app would have, which is unlikely and would mean GraphQL

It's pretty easy. Treat each resolver that retrieves data like it's a REST endpoint and secure it, and add a query allowlist that you append items to during your CI builds. You don't need to touch the AST or understand the co

It's hard to know what to do about SQLite's dangerous defaults. Changing them breaks backwards compatibility, while leaving them means some users are unintentionally using their database without referential integrity or strict tab

This is interesting. At work we use PRs like the author uses commits, and in fact we squash-and-merge them at the end, but our approach requires rebasing the later PRs whenever we make a change to the earlier PRs. This can be quite laboriou

I write stuff for fun, but there's always some reason why I chose to build e.g. an in memory inverted index with a gRPC CLI client instead of anything else. Usually it's a simple non-business reason like "I wanted to see how

You can get burnt out while not neglecting any of those things. Going to bed at 10pm with fresh sheets after a nice healthy dinner with friends is not able to offset an unlimited amount of workplace stress, although it's surprisingly e

The largest open cut mine in the world, Bingham Canyon, is more than ten times as deep. While it's not a good idea to just chuck stuff into an abandoned mine, the effort to excavate a hole that size is doable for a single site operated

Landfill leachate is quite terrifying. You end up with a bunch of reactions between whatever random assortment of garbage found itself on the same truck, and the resulting liquid is acidic enough to dissolve pipes as well as heavily contami

I quite like charter cities, at least in theory, and I'm a little annoyed that everyone sees them as an attempt at world domination. They could let us A/B test legal frameworks, and I think that's neat. Hopefully someone who
