I suppose, then, that ignorance is bliss. Because once I explained Windows 10 telemetry to my own parents, they opted to run Linux. They're nowhere even close to the penumbra of the nerd sphere. But, it is anecdotal, though it does

I have learned many languages. Just because I adore Java doesn't mean I despise everything else. I just happen to prefer it and have no reason, at this time, to use anything else for server-side work.

Wholeheartedly agree. Kids coming out of college/university these days seem to think that if something isn't brand new/fresh, that it's old, outdated, useless junk. The truth is, Java as a language and as a platform (J

That's great for you. Java works quite well for me and I've had no need to go elsewhere for a server-side language in the last five years. And what do you consider are ad-hoc frameworks? Spring is hardly ad-hoc.

It's wonderful how much you know me. Funny thing is I know many programming languages (Java, Scala, Javascript, C++, C#, and a few others I've had dealings with). I also like Java AND the JVM. The difference between you and me,

I adore Java! It has been a skill I’ve used at a few jobs now and I wouldn’t want to do anything else. If people get upset about your opinions, then that’s their problem.

I have a 2018 MacBook Pro, i7-6core, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD. I can run Ubuntu in Parallels without issue (or VirtualBox without much issue). Parallels does run the laptop a little warm, but that’s all. I came from an ASUS ROG g751jy which was

So how do we truly know if we're affected? OpticsML claims they are "working to notify all affected parties", but they have lost all trust and credibility, so I'm not holding my breath.

Windows performance is abysmal. Instead of beating around the bush, they should just state that it is the combination of everything that makes Windows dog slow compared to either Mac or Linux. Someone said it on that thread, but Windows r

Is there something special about today that this is being posted again?

No, it's time to start remembering history and that if we don't learn from it, we're doomed to repeat it.

I completely agree. I feel the same about MS buying Github, too. We are seeing so much consolidation in so many markets, the only true outcome will be that it will be a worse environment for the rest of us.

As a Georgia resident, this is highly disconcerting. I would be quite happy, willing, and patient with polling precincts had to switch to all-paper ballots if it meant guaranteeing that my vote was accurate and actually counted. While I al

Nice idea, but in the end the consumer will be the one who pays for it.

I'm glad you find it hilarious. Does MoviePass have competition? If not, then of course I have no better alternative since they're the only ones in this space. Better alternatives to what I laid out? Sure, restrict to, say, thr

It was a horrible service in the beginning and it still is. It won't matter how much it changes hands. You cannot ask a customer to pay money, commit to a contract (they required this in the early days), and then limit their use in v

PMs have a role, no doubt. They should help facilitate discussion and help protect the team and communicate upward, and provide guidance where necessary. I have worked with some that did this well. I have also worked with some who cared

In my experience, at least at bigger companies, standups are there to justify the project manager’s job. It’s for them to tally that everyone is doing their work. Simply, they see that the team wishes to meet for development purposes and

We decided against it. We’re in a java backend and GraphQL in Java with ORM is considerably problematic when trying to create efficient resolvers. We simply ran into one hurdle after another and we were finding ourselves in diminishing re

I love the optimism. Really. However, while IRC is a great collaboration tool, and one I also grew up using, I find that though users are anonymous and no one can see each other, there are still plenty of trolls who have many ways of getti

I completely understand now where you’re coming from. Thing is, we’re taking an existing data model that has REST in front of it (a layer or two up), and trying to instead use GraphQL. I think, though anecdotal for me, that this is the mo

by ulkesh 8y ago
Can you explain the difference? I’ve written many RESTlike APIs (no hypermedia) and they mostly returned data. In fact, the whole premise is to be able to access resources which typically boils down to some data model response.
178.
by ulkesh 8y ago
The difference is that REST is more opinionated on the server for what gets returned, and how it is returned. With GraphQL, that power is in the client request. And allowing the client to dictate the full scope of data to be loaded on the

by ulkesh 8y ago
I’m referring to the fact that if you don’t directly use the ORM models as the model being returned in the GraphQL response, and instead use a DTO, in order to not have to eagerly load everything you would have to deep inspect the GraphQL r

by ulkesh 8y ago
What’s really missing is that every single GraphQL tutorial glosses over the server. Sure there’s a chapter on it. A whole chapter. There are no good articles on server best practices, how best to use ORM with it (especially as it relates
