That's probably the major reason of the acquisition.

I think the point of machine learning is that such detailed models do not need to be explicitly modeled, but as some implicit layers to learn.

I see. Now I see a strong point of favoring implicitly passing the context - attaching the context to a go routine local variable (no such thing yet), so the aspect of context passing can be decoupled. Of course for some logic we probably still want to do some explicit context stitching, but that won't pollute most of interfaces. Would that address your concern?

I would expect one can reason about the program of the proof in less than 100 hours, which is essentially the proof.

Not sure why don't you like go's context model. It works pretty well in our production system.
I can see people would like to pass the context implicitly. But I don't have a strong opinion. Explicitness is not that bad.

There's a movie on business like this: The Bride of Rip Van Winkle by Shunji Iwai. But not sure if it is inspired by the exact same company.
Re:Apollo Client 2.0

We tried Apollo in its very early stage, the code complexity and the hard to debug object cache management drove us away. We are quite happy with some simple combination of raw fetch and mobx.
Will definitely take another look at the v2!
Re:Why English is such a great language for puns

Chinese here, I agree that it is very easy to have puns in Chinese. But I don't think Chinese find puns very humorous in general (probably it is too easy?), is it more often used to make blessing or satirical phrases.

Re:Language-agnostic schemas based on Haskell's type system
on Sunday May 21, 2017 @09:26AM (#14387185)
If you are already a haskell shop and need some way to write JSON schema, this probably doesn't seem too much over engineer. On the other hand, if the purpose is just to limit the expressiveness of JSON schema, I think a runtime checking is more than enough (that's how we solved our problem). Since any data schema we write inevitably has a "validation" phase during our build process. And doing runtime checking during the build phrase allows more flexible and extensible validation; with less abstraction to be understood by the strawman.

Exactly, that paragraph is a very strong argument in favor of GraphQL.
Re:Fuchsia: a new operating system

I can see the major point of making a microkernel is to allow kernel or other service (like driver) upgrade to be de-coupled; it would also allow much easier integration of non-open source driver and service, which could be a pain with Linux as it doesn't provide a clean way to do without rebasing (which could explain why Android upgrade is much lag behind for existing phone). But don't get me wrong, I totally support Linux philosophy.
