There's no confusion that netflix == television, and also no confusion in the tone of your "article"

Why the focus on Netflix? Just because it's popular right now?

This blog post honestly just comes across as "I'm better than you because I claim to use my time more productively, and I'm telling you how to live your life."

Speaking of a waste of time, I'd like my 5 minutes back after reading that.

These guides always ignore authentication/authorization. Is there a standard pattern or way to do these when using GraphQL?

Edit: a quick search for apollo graphql auth turns this up for reading https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/recipes/authenticat...

"Use jQuery"

Seems silly to exfiltrate the data during a quiet time instead of a busier time of day where it should go unnoticed? "Hidden in plain sight"

> Have you _looked_ at the patches you are talking about? You should have - several of them bear your name.

This made me so nervous on his behalf

> "you do <X>, who hurt you?"

It's a meme format, Netflix is just trying to be edgy/cool here, trying to fit in with the "fellow kids" [1]

In case you're serious, and too lazy to google it... [1]

LISP is a family of programming languages.

For a change of this magnitude you would expect some tests that actually verify these assumptions? Or am I missing something in this PR? [1]

It honestly made me close the tab after one "page"

> ... I also set Emacs to full screen. I'd like to do this on Windows as well, but Windows and Emacs don't really love each other and it always ends up in some wonky state when I try this

Seems to work fine for me

You're conflating management and priority issues with programming issues.

1. Make it work

2. Make it right

3. Make it fast

"Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%." - Donald Knuth

OT: which Hugo theme are you using? Custom?

I have no links to share, but it seems obvious that a dynamically typed language will need tests to ensure that a function "behaves" correctly given incorrect types, where the statically typed language will not even allow you to run that code.

You could use ublock origin (or similar) to "block" the offending elements.

Thought this article looked familiar. Dan please add dates to your blog posts, Admin please add 2016 to the title.

In {G|Mac}Vim you can also use the mouse cursor and selection.

The Internet is truly beautiful at bridging generations of knowledge in this way.

Great post. Thanks for sharing!

It seems their tech doesn't pay their bills quite as well as advertising?

Real User Monitoring (for those who don't know the acronym)

I meant privatised in order to remove the state ownership and encourage competition in the sector.

Telkom (and also Eskom) are beyond kak. We desperately need telecoms/electricity to be privatised.

In South Africa the local metered taxis have gone as far as petrol bombing Uber drivers cars.

It doesn't seem so, visiting Panopticlick[0] on my unmodified Safari/iPhone7/iOS 10.3.3 gives "your browser has a nearly unique fingerprint"
