asp2insp | 8 years ago | on: How GraphQL Replaces Redux
The graphql tutorial has a chapter devoted to this: https://www.howtographql.com/advanced/4-security/
In a nutshell, you can limit the depth to which a query will resolve in order to prevent abuse. You can also go much further and whitelist a specific set of queries (which comes with some additional bandwidth wins!) See https://dev-blog.apollodata.com/persisted-graphql-queries-wi...

Naively, yes, but in practice this is one of the things a good graphql client library can solve. Apollo Client, for example, will bundle query fragments from all your components together into a single request, and manage caching under the hood for you.

I think the GP is referring to Apollo Client 2's ability to abstract over the underlying data source. Their intro blog post for the 2.0 announcement gives a good overview: https://dev-blog.apollodata.com/apollo-client-2-0-5c8d0affce...
asp2insp | 8 years ago | on: Show HN: Vexlio – Create precise, beautiful diagrams
I love this idea. I can't try it out because I run OSX, but I've signed up for your waitlist. Seems very competitively priced for something that looks like it competes with some features of Microsoft Visio (which starts at $300) for similar diagramming/snapping functionality.

We have an internal tool that allows us to mirror subdirectories of our monorepo into individual github repositories, and another tool that helps us sync our internal source code review tool with PRs etc.

For Apocalypticism you randomly die at some point for no reason. For me it happened around 40 points

The oplog replication provided by Mongo is a very different mechanism than RethinkDB's change feeds. This is a pretty good overview of the differences: https://www.compose.com/articles/rethinking-changes-how-two-...

Checking the source, it looks like it uses hyper under the hood for the nuts and bolts, so presumably it will benefit from the move to futures without too much effort

The market for all such devices is growing and is expected to be around 18 million units by 2005, according to IDC, a market research firm.
asp2insp | 9 years ago | on: Optional arguments in Rust 1.12
This is pretty cool and will definitely simplify some of my code.
It's worth mentioning that there is an RFC discussion for first-class support optional (or keyworded) arguments here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/323
asp2insp | 9 years ago | on: Show HN: “OK Google” – Explore Google Now voice commands
My guess is that the list is a representative sample, and the dynamic nature is to indicate that it's variable. Google will correctly answer that question for anyone who has their own Wikipedia page with a birthdate (Try 'how old is Richard Stallman') so seeing the "full list" is not a useful piece of information

asp2insp | 9 years ago | on: Announcing Rust 1.9
The time complexity of comparing variables for equivalence during type unification is reduced from O(n!) to O(n). As a result, some programming patterns compile much, much more quickly.
I love this. Not just my code compiling more quickly, but the underlying implementation is super interesting.
asp2insp | 9 years ago | on: Show HN: Illustrio – Search, customize and download illustrations
Very cool! I initially thought it was just color swapping, but the percentages section in particular is fantastic.
Led by the CTA arrow: http://i.imgur.com/odtBsuE.png, I clicked on "Illustrations" first, which I actually think is the weakest example of cool customizability. Percentages and Words are both more compelling IMHO.
asp2insp | 10 years ago | on: What does Unsplash cost?
They've written previously about how they consider Unsplash a valuable side project: http://blog.crew.co/how-side-projects-saved-our-startup/ From the wording in that blogpost, I would guess that they consider it part of their marketing spend.

Wow, fantastic! I just made a codelet form and it works beautifully! I'm now recommending this to everyone.
asp2insp | 10 years ago | on: Show HN: Fieldbook Codelets: Host snippets of code, integrated with Fieldbook
This looks fantastic! I use Fieldbook to organize my life and it's great to see the pace at which new features are being added.
I would love to see a custom forms feature where I can build a form for myself or for others to enter rows. Collecting info is the one feature where I still turn to Google Spreadheets

Estrogenic substances such as atrazine have been correlated with lower sperm count in agricultural workers (e.g. https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/04/0427_050427...) but I don't know of a study showing the effects through the food distribution chain, only ones on field workers.
