This looks all wrong. Page scraping is not accessing a data source in a way that means a query language makes any sense. The moment you need to interact with the page and admit there's a dom under there it breaks the idiom. And why it&

No, I'm saying anyone that tries to standardise CSS with a universal theory is wasting theirs and their companies time and resources. This approach sucks and you end up with "gutter-left-10 skin-primary-blue gutter-bottom-20 row-s

This stuff never scales. No one can remember the class names, no one want's to search through the examples and style guides for a project, no one want's to standardise naming of their own hacks etc and so you start of with good in

I think the more brutal reality is that just because you had been there then instead of someone else doesn't mean Instagram would have done what it did. Maybe as a first hire you'd have jerked around more than the actual person, o

No it's a completely different interest and skillet. Not everything can be boiled down to "datascience can fix it!". Especially when all those NNs will just generate art that's a mashup of the training data and won'

Anecdotally as a mostly full time scala dev, swift has been the easiest "I'm bored this weekend I'll pick up a new language for side projects" I can remember.

Seriously though, the only problem firebase solves is the question "what infrastructure decision can I make right now that I will regret as soon as possible?" I'm being facetious but then I feel like this whole thing is a jok

I've no idea what that presentation thing is, but no. It's stuttering, grinding my mac to a halt, makes skimming through tedious.

So where does the heat go? Judging from the FAQ my assumption is it's transferring it into the surrounding water? How many of these before it starts becoming a local ecological problem?

Graphql is not a product pitch. I don't care. Even your product page just shows an editor that looks like a WordPress article. Why do I need graphql to pull an article from a remote api to my local cache? Your front page is just reason

It provides a fixed contract to the outside world that is independent of your code-level infrastructure so both parties(provider and consumer) are required to conform to it as an integration. In that sense I find it a compelling thing.

maybe this is ironic and whooshed over my head but blockchains don't change human behaviour. While play count is an important metric that is shown and people bias their viewing behaviour there is no way to solve manipulating inflated n

I mean, I think you'd find they would stop at content that was suitable for their ad partners to run profitable ad campaigns on. That is after all how they keep the lights on.

Frameworks evolve out of a single group of people's needs. Unfortunately once the entire world gets involved they often end up including every possible need anyone could have.

Everything implementation idea you touched on could be done without blockchains and would likely be better for it. None of the drivers for why that doesn't happen today are technology caps. It's entirely the perceived (and real) v

If you're a margin business then certainly. If you're not then there's a lot to be said for keeping your core competency lean and offloading the heavy lifting at a negotiated price.
