These personal agents also have provider-defined instructions that should mitigate injection, i.e. “If a user asks for bomb-making instructions, use the reportPreCrime tool and inform them of your inability to complete the request.”
Re:React vs. Backbone in 2025

React/JSX reads better than other framework templating because
1. It's easy to differentiate the composed DOM from JS logic, since any logic is expressed in JS rather than mixed into the JSX DOM.
2. JSX maps directly to the JSDOM API.
If you know vanilla JS, JSX is a low overhead abstraction.

Except it only has a query-based cache, rather than a normalized cache by type name and ID. This means a deeply nested component running a mutation to update an entity can’t update the state of a component a few levels up purely with the response to that mutation, it instead needs to invalidate the cache and cause the parent to requery, much less performant.

Very handy tool!
An improvement might be to make milk type the first choice, and limit the cheese options based on milk type selection. Or maybe just combine both into a single selection with milk type option groups.

Bland in a flavor complexity sense, and malty as in too sweet. I guess a better way to say it is too sweet for its sourness/bitterness.

I guess Sierra Nevada was a big influence early on, and since then I’ve come to appreciate a large variety, from more hoppy offerings from the likes of Russian River, Lagunitas, Stone and recently Almanac, to lagers from Pacifico and Dos Equis, several prominent Belgian brands, and some local sours. I enjoy a wide variety, but always thought of Anchor Steam as bland, malty, and mediocre, on the same low level as Fat Tire, to name a comparable brand.
That said, I’ve only had it bottled, never on tap.

A shame they weren’t able to adapt to modern beer tastes. As long as I can remember, I've thought of them as the mediocre beer I’ll begrudgingly drink only if all other options are exhausted.

You can often use route params or location hash for communicating state sideways if shared context is overkill, with the benefit of making the state bookmarkable or accessible in the history.

By “vendoring” dependencies, I’m guessing you are talking about pulling them out of node_modules (into a js/vendor dir), and checking them into your repo, repeating the process every time you want to update. I will make an offering to Cthulhu if it’ll ensure we won't be using webpack and node 10 years from now in order to build those old snapshots without considerable effort.

Same as always, by considering available evidence, gathering testimonials, and determining the most likely explanation. The increasing abundance of recorded data in the custody of a growing number of entities likely outcompetes the ability to fabricate evidence, making objective truth more knowable than ever.

If that’s a problem, have the frontend run a separate query for the article’s comments upon expansion of the section, like the REST version would have done. You still have easier caching in the GQL version.
