That sounds very similar to the "what was she wearing when she got harassed" mentality which I believe was frowned upon around here.

TL;DR doesn't always appear at the beginning which is what cmdkeen was talking about.

If you have two fields in a query, does that mean two resolve functions? If I using a SQL database and the two fields were stored on two columns on the same table, wouldn't that cause 2 SQL queries to be run?

Closest thing I can think of is Microsoft's WebMatrix.

The docs page delivered 270kb of compressed and minified JavaScript (1MB uncompressed) but sadly didn't seem to show anything with JavaScript disabled. I thought all the hot new React apps were isomorphic nowadays.

This reminds me of morning routine back in grade school called "Mad Minute" where we would be given a sheet containing 30 or 50 simple equations to solve. You'd have to complete it in a minute and the teacher would stopped grading at the first wrong answer so getting the first one wrong follwed by 49 correct answer would net you a score of zero.

When I first transferred to that school I was terrible at it but I did get pretty good at it later on. I think it did a lot for my arithmetic skills.

Anyone know what the "$Windows.~BT" folder is would supposedly be located?

Wow, can't believe how bad some of those issues are. It was like reading a DailyWTF article without the forced humor.

Predictable for a typical large corp. Not particularly predictable for companies projecting a cool hacker company persona.

Aren't generators part of Babel? As long as you target ES5 shouldn't you be able to use generators via Babel?

There was a guy who joined the Knockout or Angular team (I forget which) since they had similar ideas for the future of their frameworks. Not too long later, he left them and restarted his project as their vision began to diverge.

I don't know why anyone would want One True JS framework. Many of them provide different things. Angular has the kitchen-sink approach handling everything from templating, model-binding, routing and ajax requests and on the other end of the spectrum there are small libraries that do one thing well and encourage their users to adopt other libraries to do other stuff. Choice is a good thing.

> It is not a fully standalone GraphQL server that a client developer could use to start manipulating and querying data.... The only “backend” we have targeted for this early preview are in-memory stubs in test cases.

> To that end the target audience is not the client developer, but those who have or are actively interested in building their own GraphQL implementations and tools.

I guess I'm kind of happy that FB are releasing something regarding GraphQL since introducing it in February. I just thought they got busy with React Native and forgot about everything else they hyped up back in February.

> You can have less plea bargaining and more court overhead, or you can have more plea bargaining and fewer delays for trials.

That sounds like a classic false dichotomy. How about less plea bargaining and more resources for the courts so they don't have require massive delays to deliver justice.

I doubt you'd feel the current system was just if you experienced what Browder went through. How about a little empathy.
