My understanding is the json type stuff is a language specific workaround and not part of the standard. I have .NET, go, node.js, and others and while I could make any one of those languages work with specific changes they would not necess

Hate to complain about GraphQL in general and not specifically this guide but I ran into to major issues with it and really wanted to like it but ultimately gave up on it until they fix some core issues. I don't see how I can implement

Many years ago, my friend's mother tried to bill my mother for some perceived amount of food that I was apparently consuming from their house. Which I largely wasn't and was also after the fact so if I knew there would be a bill

While I'm not everybody, I think its decent and better than the default which is your ISP. Normally pointing directly at google or cloudflare does not hide it from your ISP. I actually just did this yesterday though not with a raspberr

I'm going through this right now. I'm sure we are not willing to pay the price but some VP wants a commercial solution not an in-house solution. So I have to get quotes from enterprise vendors and cannot get even ballpark number

My experience mostly overlapping in time in Colorado where I went to 2 high schools. The one was the bad one with fights in the halls and mostly poor kids that did not offer any accounting/finance/home economics. The good school

this has led to some interesting observations for me in linux when I've had really large log files that were still in use and were "deleted" but the file was still in use. (I think cat /dev/nul > file will do thi

Its an improvement but Comcast has been delaying real improvements for years but collect insane profits (afaik). I would love to see the numbers as well. The X1 DVR as far as I am concerned was horrible compared to the ReplayTV or Tivo ci

I think there is a lot of "it depends" in here. If deployment is zero friction to the customer then maybe this applies. If deployment by customer is disrupting then forcing them to go through multiple release cycles due to bugs o

Just listened to interview on All About Android and their explanation sounded plausible that it was done wrong and they will delete any collected data. I just bought a 5T and did not hear about this so I'm interested. Sounded like th

Depends on the product but indeed I want stability over all else with updates for security. We have a product sold to us 2 years ago and still hasn't passed UAT. It is enterprise and they use agile so after every 3 to 6 weeks we get a

My db issues for last ten years have frequently been a mix of bad query plans and terrible orm layers. Doctrine in Symfony rarely yield good queries in mysql for us. We've been moving away from orm where possible because we don&#x27

One experience I had with a bank that was hard in the past was querying specific account information, specifically routing numbers. Either search would tell me where to look on a check (great let me go find those) or give a generic FAQ. A

I may be wrong but the reason is again privacy (and probably cost). If they tracked your queries and tied them back to you for future then they need to store your information or enough to tie to you and what you clicked on and the history

While I partially agree, some of these people will also actively ignore information when presented and do not have a skeptical mind. Many people do not change their mind after they first form an opinion on a subject or it takes a lot of ef

Exactly, this reminds me of a podcast from last year about how a master artist forged sketches/drawings and fooled the experts to prove he was just as good [1]. What is the likelihood that this was really just found in a book? [1] ht

Glad to see the promised investment from PM but its sad that it appears the only reason is because its likely impacting tourism and therefore jobs/income which is likely real reason. I vacationed in Cairns (and elsewhere) in 2001 and

I disagree that the whole argument is moot but the yes those are made up numbers. The gist of the argument sounds about right to me. I had a vacuum cleaner break and I took it to a local fix-it man and he wanted $80 dollars to fix in part

Not an expert but RCU is more complex with respect to checking the CPU states for activity to ensure consistency. Sequential locks use spinlocks and a counter and allows for concurrent reads. This link [1] actually answers it specifically

Thanks. That actually doesn't look that bad. It would be nice to have anonymous type objects but I recognize the difficulty in that. This looks like a nice compromise. Now if they could also fix passing in arrays as part of a parame
