We used to use Mongoose in our project[0], but found that at the volumes of interactions we were dealing with, it was orders of magnitude faster to just use the raw Node.JS driver. [0]: https://github.com/coralproject/t

Definitely think that it would have been a good tool to counter fraud/abuse. The issue of course would be that abuse of said tooling and the rise of ad-tech is what's caused the major issues we see today. I'd imagine that it

For us Canadians out there too, SimpleTax[0] is complexity free as well! Super simple design, easy to file. We've used it for a while. [0]: https://simpletax.ca/

Interesting! Personally, I started with an B.Sc. Astrophysics, finished that. Realized that it may take a while before I could get in a job related to an area that I'm interested in. I went back and completed an B.Sc. Computer Sciences

How would you represent more complex types? It would work fine if your models are flat and containing only POD, but if it contains something like GeoJSON (from Postgres for example), it would be pretty difficult to ensure that the serializa

I'd think that Pachyderm [0] would be mentioned in the article, but it wasn't. It uses Docker under the hood for the data pipelines. I've always wanted an excuse to do some data science... [0]: https://www.pachyder

Typically, unless I'm writing a shared library, I find myself putting everything under a `internal` folder. It keeps people from importing possibly unstable code until it's exposed.

You can certainly use the tools for anything you like! We have been focused on working with newsrooms, where we feel we'll make the most impact. You can use the Ask tool to build a form, or Talk to power your comment space. Once we rea

One of the features offered by Talk is the ability to ignore comments from a specific user [1]. It is designed just as you described it here. As mentioned in a previous comment, our server api's should be sufficient for you as a site a

As a site admin, not a user. If you see our server side plugin api [1] you can see ways to extend the graph schema, hook into existing mutations/queries completed by the system to apply any set of rules or moderation policies you want.

Completely agree. I'll often take a look at the "top in-app purchases" as well. "$9.99", ok, but if I see a "$129.99" for a "big crate of gems"... I just got to question how the developers felt t
