In Apollo server you can add directives to your scehma for authz. It's dead simple.

I'm surprised how so many HN posts about graphql just slander it. If you go to the website and look at the use case of why it was made, it makes it pretty clear when it could be a good to use. My experience with it has been very straight forward and a joy

Because they probably never programmed in modern c++ (c++11 onwards).

> Most websites are about delivering and exploring content. HTML is amazing for this, and you don't need JavaScript.

Most commercial websites want analytics on how users browse and click on the website. So this point goes out the window.

> To its credit, the owner of the DSP, Battle-Tested Strategies (BTS), voluntarily recognized the union and signed the collective bargaining agreement almost immediately.

> The problem? Amazon did not.

The headline is misleading and doesn't make it clear the workers don't directly work for Amazon. They work for Battle-Tested Strategies

Re:Please Let Me Monetize My Hobbies on Sunday May 14, 2023 @12:06AM (#35935237)
It being a business, even if it makes $2/mo, can be part of the hobby. Reading about taxes and small businesses is fun for me.

It being commercially successful is not a concern for me. That would be the difference between a hobby and a job for me

Re:I won’t spend more than $250 on a new smartphone on Thursday May 11, 2023 @11:35PM (#35911578)
I buy a flagship I enjoy and replace it every 4-5 years
Using a rtx 3070 with the Nvidia drivers. It worked fine until some update but like I said, I gave up on debugging.

It goes to show that I got downvoted for my original comment. I used to use Linux as my main os for about 7 years, but now my free time is more limited. I don't care to debug these type of problems when I am trying to just use my computer.

At work I remote into a Linux vm, so I'll do that at home as well whether my host os is windows or mac. It works for me.

I want to switch back to Linux but I keep having gpu driver issues. Everything was fine until I got a 165hz monitor then had random crashes. If the fact I am using gnome on xorg vs Wayland was the problem (who knows, I gave up on debugging) then I'm all for it

I'd rather just use windows and run Linux in a vm then not use the features of the monitor that I bought.

Re:Windows ARM Dev Kit 2023 on Saturday April 29, 2023 @07:38PM (#35758371)
I would be interested in this but I recall a video comparing it to the m1 Mac mini and it's just not even close. I've enjoyed using visual studio for c/c++/c# but for usescases outside of that, I feel like the developer experience on Linux or Mac is better
Interesting an article like this would not mention h1b at all. On Blind you see posts of people laid off from fang willing to settle for whatever pay as long as the employor can sponsor their visa to avoid deportation
Re:Django 4.2 Released on Monday April 03, 2023 @03:41PM (#35430101)
I feel like lately js (and more importantly typescript) frameworks have been more popular. If someone were to start a new project today, how does Django standup to the current offerings?
If you want the basics then 2 cents by pbs is pretty good. I like the plain bagel on YouTube has he is very level headed and has his cfa and cpa
More tame inflation for people who maintain their good paying jobs will be in an even better position
Re:Why are developers expected to estimate tasks at all? on Sunday March 26, 2023 @02:07PM (#35317487)
> If developers have to be the ones carefully calculating estimates and managing expectations then there's really no purpose to middle-management.

Op is not saying that having estimates is useless, but rather it should be a management task rather than a developers burden.

To me, that sounds even worse, but I do think devs are expected to do wider and wider tasks across the business. Their post reeks of resentment against management and PMs and I don't blame them. Especially in my experience, I have worked with PMs that I have no idea what they do as devs need to step in to do all project management related tasks themselves

A good example of how driven individual can have a positive impact in a domain (with help from all other contributors too of course)
The admin bloat ought to be cut in order to qualify for federal student loans.

I'm always baffled how much tuition was at my public university, yet teacher and TA salaries are so low. It's like everything except academics attached itself to drain money from students

Saying big tech workforces are shrinking is true in the literal sense but is misleading when you look at it at a bigger picture with the hiring frenzy that went on the last 2 years
I really like fasterthanlime, especially with the depth of knowledge. He was the first video creator that explained register usage in assembly in a way that wasn't so dry that I lost attention.

Re:Is life too short to fight Rust's borrow checker? on Sunday March 05, 2023 @02:42PM (#35033154)
I was expecting more to the article than those few lines. This, along with most rust pieces that get posted here, can be answered by if your code needs to be performant or not. Not everything is just a CRUD web app and using rust for everything obviously isn't a silver bullet
Re:Soylent Acquired by Starco Brands on Wednesday February 22, 2023 @01:41AM (#34892434)
I understood the powder and the mission to be super cheap nutrition but then they pivoted to expensive bottled drinks and marketed it to yuppies.

I don't get how they are different from ensure outside of the marketing
