I built a GraphQL API earlier this year. The learning curve can be a little awkward coming from REST, but once you get the hang of it GraphQL is super fun. Can't recommend it enough. Enjoy!

The graduation rate is irrelevant, as a very selective bootcamp that works hard to make sure everyone learns and has a 100% grad rate will put out higher quality folks than a dev-mill that doesn't care what folks do and has a 75% grad

This is obviously not true. I'm a bootcamp grad, I got a great job right out of my program and it has been an uphill struggle ever since. If you read the answers from the other bootcamp grad devs here you will see nearly all of them me

It need not be stated that McCarthy's work is some of the most powerful and well crafted fiction of the twentieth century, but this article came off as a little strange and underdone. He has a few insights, but he jumps between ideas w

I don't think there is any reason to believe that the brain is like a computer in any meaningful way. Both the brain and an electronic computer are able to operate on information, but beyond that the differences between the two far out

This small Japanese village is attracting young tech workers to support their aging, agrarian population. Are their any towns pursuing a similar strategy in the US? If not, could something similar be encouraged in the US to simultaneously s

I'm pretty ashamed to see this sort of stuff making the front page of HN. If an argument for a similarly archaic and backwards explanation was posted about some other topic (this sort of stuff is on par with heliocentrism, creationism

You do raise an interesting point: would there be any value in emulating (some of) the subjective effects of a psychedelic to 'increase' blinding. Perhaps have all study participants wear VR headsets piping in video from their sur

The paper includes a caveat at the end: "Our study has several limitations. First, although the trial was formally double-blinded, assignment to placebo or LSD was unavoidably unblinded by the obvious psychedelic effects caused by the

Nice! Recommend 'Hard Boiled Wonderland' as well. His most tightly plotted and laid out book, if you like that part of his work. His non-fic is great as well. IQ84 is a bit long winded and sort of a 'b-side' IMO, might w

How far did you get into 'Infinite Jest'. Did you break pg. 200? In my expeirance there seems to be this energy hump at pg. ~200, but if you can push past that it is smooth sailing till the end. (and absolutely worth it)
