excellent collection, what's the closest to functional graphql directives you've come across so far? i think directives are really going to unlock the power of graphql, and replace a lot of code with something more declarative

another product that does this with syllables? sure i'd love to understand how sound syncing works

Very intelligent approach! JSX for routes always seemed weird.

I especially like the explicit url parameter passing vs. others where it just magically shows up in your component.

- TypeScript

JS will eventually support types natively and will be similar to TS/Flow's API. I have more faith in ReasonML taking off than Dart/Flutter but I hope I'm wrong.

- React and React Native, even ReactXP/react-native-web if appropriate

Vue is good but not good enough to convince most of the community and the community makes it. Their native strategy needs more work, and it's too valuable not to have one.

- Apollo Client

So much boilerplate disappears, and it's powerful enough to be your one data source which enforces many best practices and capabilities.

- GraphQL Gateway stitching GraphQL Servers and serverless resolvers

GraphQL/serverless does for the backend via microservices what React did for the frontend via components. The benefits to the entire stack are countless. Apollo Server (even AppSync) make it simple.

- A serverless datastore

There's also many great GraphQL ORMs but managing infrastructure/scaling should be avoided.

Two months with the Pixelbook i7, don't regret investing that much on a Chromebook, which was my main concern. Kept the old MBP just in case and it's been just sitting there, even through tax season.

Pretty happy with performance, Linux apps work well but still "feel" a little out of place. Very like how it runs Android apps, so much works but it's just the issues that DO come up that can be frustrating. If you're not ready for that experience then it might not make sense to switch your main dev machine.

Doubt I'll ever buy a laptop bigger than this one ever again, but it is a little harder to dev directly on this, mainly bc of that MBP trackpad, but this keyboard is MUCH better.

What advantages does your syntax offer over the ICU standard? http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/messages

I had a similar problem previously and considered automating it by comparing frames. It's not easy and would have obvious false positives/negatives, but YouTube does help by publishing key frames and it could at least be used to help rank results.

Take this example music video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vopR3ys8Kw

Frames:

https://img.youtube.com/vi/6vopR3ys8Kw/0.jpg

https://img.youtube.com/vi/6vopR3ys8Kw/1.jpg

https://img.youtube.com/vi/6vopR3ys8Kw/2.jpg

https://img.youtube.com/vi/6vopR3ys8Kw/3.jpg

And this lyrics video version (more interesting because it's SOMEWHAT changing):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoAqHxm5dpo

Frames:

https://img.youtube.com/vi/FoAqHxm5dpo/0.jpg

https://img.youtube.com/vi/FoAqHxm5dpo/1.jpg

https://img.youtube.com/vi/FoAqHxm5dpo/2.jpg

https://img.youtube.com/vi/FoAqHxm5dpo/3.jpg

Simply finding the differences between frames would give the first video a higher score than the second.

I see us at the beginning of a path that grants magic powers, controlling everything with our voice, or even our intention.

That requires machine learning, which requires data, which requires data collection, and the closest one to Google there isn't Apple or Amazon, it's Facebook.

This is worthy of a bug bounty, and I feel it should be handled as such: reported privately to them first. The people trying to hack reCaptcha at scale are not good people.

The temporary fix Google might have to do in the mean time however is to stop all audio reCaptchas, blocking the people who vitally depend on it.

so preact for vue? how is this not called prevue?

Laptops will be replaced by phone-powered VR goggles with wireless keyboards.

I really don't know if SDCs would become commoditized, lots of startups doing it are more indicative that they're all trying to win rather than be a small player in a large industry. VCs in the area are probably betting on acquisitions, I think it'll be incredibly hard for that space to be more than two or three top players.

I think it's pretty cool, great job.

I just wanted to give a positive comment, specifically about the things that people are giving negative comments about. The website design isn't boring, and emphasizes that the app differentiator is that it's looking to be a better design and have things like "album art first".

Electron does have a small resource problem, but that doesn't stop plenty of people from downloading the desktop version of Slack, or other popular electron wrappers. There's a reason a lot of people put up with Electron, it fills a gap.

Whether you did this to try Electron or design, comments on HN can be very subjective and not representative of actual reception. I personally never thought album art was super important cause I grew up with Napster, but like "cover flow" was REALLY well received. Artistic design is especially highly opinionated.

Sounds really cool, if price was a roadblock for you here's a tutorial I wrote on using RF switches:

Multiple smaller monitors over 1 big one. I use the main MBP screen plus three E2414H dells that I got for <$300. I have to context-switch so much less. I'd take utility over "ooh these colors look really good". 1080p @ ~22" is "good enough" pixel density too.

I forgive him but this is what I received if you're curious (about 15 emails across 2 accounts within a couple of days):

Thanks so much for signing up for Polybit and checking it out, and happy Saturday!

I'm Keith Horwood, author of Nodal (https://github.com/keithwhor/nodal) and founder of Polybit. The response we've seen to Polybit so far has been nothing short of amazing, and you're part of that. Thank you. No, really, it's been a lot of hard work to get to where we are today and your support makes everything worthwhile.

We're trying to learn as much as possible about our users and community --- it's important we can support everyone --- so I'd like to offer you some free platform credits. Would just like to know a couple things, a short e-mail response will go a long way. :)

1. Did you know about Nodal before checking out Polybit? 2. Do you plan on using Polybit for personal purposes, work projects, or both? 3. Where do you work? 4. Is there anything you'd like to know about us?

Let me know and I'm happy to add 1,000 credits to your account. By the way - if you sign up for our community Slack with the slack command on polybit.com, you'll get an additional 500 credits.

Cheers, - Keith

This is how Venmo does it so they don't have to make you do the "verify two microdeposits" process, and it's getting more popular. I think because when you give your login you're giving over complete access so bank is not liable for fraud.

I heard Samsung Node 7 is gonna blow up!

On a 4 yo Retina and couldn't be happier. I'd be paying to upgrade a fraction of a Ghz. It's Intel's fault not Apple's, but still don't see the need I did 4 years ago.

I've been using my laptop a bunch in my bed though, the Surface Book is detachable, and a Razer Core could give me multiple monitors when I need it.

It's probably going to be a year before another Apple innovation, and at this point the only thing holding me back from switching is the feeling that these other options have some sort of catch. Instability that will make me throw it out a window, or being ignored by the largely Apple development community.

The LinkedIn/Slack stuff is nice, but Microsoft should just invest hundreds of millions on improving Windows dev projects like VSCode.

A couple of days old so if it was zombies we'd know about it now... right?

A spokesperson from Bay Area Hospital asked to clarify some points of the narrative.

Barbara Bauder, the hospital's chief development hospital, said the patients were never formally hospitalized or quarantined.

The 5 people who showed symptoms of hallucinations were seen in the emergency room.

Everyone had been sent home by noon that day, Bauder said.

A managed RethinkDB/Horizon is exactly what AWS needs to compete with Firebase... AWS's closest realtime is what, IoT's MQTT?

I love Jest, but thought the 59% satisfaction with Jest was unfortunate... probably super-early adopters?

true, but i think even a lot of the other non-coupled technologies have higher numbers, but it's hard to say if that's higher percentages

I'm guessing/hoping it's going to be very similar to https://getchip.com/pages/chip in both connectivity (WiFi/BT) and built-in storage... and hopefully price.

Hey guys! I wrote a migration utility a couple of weeks ago to get your Vesper (http://vesperapp.co/) notes into Trello (https://trello.com/tour).

If your notes have a lot of pictures the process is rate-limited, but it will eventually complete!

I wrote the simple front-end using create-react-app (https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app).
