The section of the document you refer to is regarding the response , not the query-language itself. From the document: "A GraphQL document is defined as a syntactic grammar" -- therefore GraphGL has a (one) preferred syntactic em

Why doesn't GraphQL just define semantics over what is JSON syntactically so existing tools and parsers are sufficient? It's already so close to JSON, why use parens and strings containing emedded JSON? E.g., instead of: {

I think the code is much more readable and less annoying with inference. And as for your examples, you don't need to know the types - the compiler will complain if you try and use them inappropriately whether the type was explicit

Compiling helloworld.c with one floppy and no hard drive on the original PC required one disk for each of the following: (1) source code, (2) cpp.exe, (3) cc1.exe, (4) cc2.exe, (5) lib manager (can't remember the name - something like

Should have been the Z-8000! I would have liked to have seen Zilog/Motorola be the battle rather than Intel/Motorola. (But maybe that's just my TRS-80 bias showing...)

Should have some props in there for Topview, Desqview, and especially QNX...

As a language, JS is what it is - therefore you can use or ignore parts of it, target it from a transpiler, etc. It's Node, its de-facto execution environment on the server side, that's the travesty - a hardly-glorified version of

If that's your opinion, then certainly your tertiary meta-comment adds even less value. I think it's truly interesting and worth looking at when, post-hoc, something seems like it should have been obvious, but was not. This can i

And, if they did hang out at Radio Shack, they would have come across the venerable Minimus-7 - one of the first examples ever of a high-performing micro speaker with a sealed-enclosure design, that still stands up to the test of time. htt

They weren't using the POTS line for power (though I remember holding the leads when a ring signal came in - quite a shock! - seemed like the NYC local-loops must have had a RI# of about 20 at the time...) -- and they weren't just

"[book] gave us the secret ... sealed enclosure created two separate acoustic environments ... one inside the speaker enclosure ... and one outside, where the microphones were" I would have thought that part of the design would ha

What about a simple time-management explanation? When one is feeling melancholy, one tends to also be anti-social - this leaves more time to focus on one's artsy tasks.

It always struck me as odd that many programming languages have standard printers that will output any data structure expressible in the language, but they don't have accompanying readers - this forces one to roll one's own or use

You can do amazing things with Forth for its footprint ( [compile-time] forms, etc.) - but it's not dynamic, it's typeless.

To what degree can one expect to extrapolate this behavior up/down/across the taxonomy of species? (I assume the more predatory, the more likely this would evolve.) Once you have a theory of mind, you can move from seemingly-intel
