  1. GraphQL Alternative on Facebook's GraphQL Gets Its Own Open-Source Foundation (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Anyone who finds GraphQL to be a little, uhm, heavy for their needs might consider restQL, which is a middle ground between GraphQL and REST.

  2. But if I watch the episodes 1231321312 I've covered all six in an overlapping way. Is this the shortest way? I don't know.

    123121321 is the shortest way, containing only extraneous (invalid) combinations 313 and 131.

    We need a society and a government that makes it's decisions based on facts and not "feels". You "feel" he will continue to live a good life even if he fails to get to SCOTUS? He won't. He will forever be an accused rapist.

    Don't be stupid. 75% of Trump's administration have been overturned, and I'm sure that all those low-lives will still go on to lead prosperous lives.

    I have 60 one-minute accounts for sale. Who wants to buy the bundle of them for a price of less than $2000?

    If someones not prepared to send a woman to death row for an abortion, one must conclude they don't *really* think its murder.

    Also consider that a ridiculously high number of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Getting pregnant is like taking a 1 in 5 chance that your body will kill a fetus. How do Christians reconcile that? More fetuses get sent to heaven as a result of God's will than abortion.

  6. Re:We get it... on New Yorkers Sue Trump and FEMA To Stop Presidential Alert (cnet.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    ...you guys are still butt hurt over the 2016 election.

    I'm butt hurt over the fact that I live in a country where half of the population is stupid enough to vote for Trump.

  7. No proof. Earth has been warming since the end of the last ice age and warming and cooling models more closely match solar cycles than anything else.

    Thank you for that highly scientific analysis, AC.

  8. So it only took the plebeians 8 years to catch up to your genius? Slacker.

  9. So if the purpose of the proposed change isn't virtue signalling, what exactly is it?

    It's fucking called empathy, and maybe you should try developing some.

  10. It's just more useless virtue signaling

    Oh, I like how if you dislike something, you can reduce its merit by merely labeling it as "virtue signaling"!

    That's a standard feature within Android that you can optionally enable. No 3D touch required.

    Bose-Einstein condensate is not a classical state of matter, it's a modern state.

    I'm still waiting for the headline "Sports team discovers new...", or "Religion discovers new..."

    Thank you for implying that all people with autism are the same. My respect for you has increased.

    They just aren't as functional.

    Tablets aren't as functional due to a few primary limitations: lack of native support for peripherals (the most important of which are mouse devices, which require deep integration with the operating system user interface); lack of ability to fully customize the operating system; lack of ability to truly run multiple applications concurrently; and lack of ability to run whatever software one has access to.

    Of course, tablets that are designed to run desktop operating systems don't have these problems. They have a separate problem: after adding a keyboard, mouse, peripheral hub, stand, etc. to make the tablet as functional as a laptop, you might as well just buy a touchscreen ultralight laptop.

    Not many people who are seriously productive on a PC are willing to make the compromises required for working with tablets.

  16. using taxes we collect, particularly from the very rich to fund it

    Hahahahah! Good thing the very rich don't have lawyers, loopholes, and lobbyists to help them avoid paying taxes.

  19. What kind of tripe is this that you're spewing? While I agree that replicating consciousness seems like it would be an impressive and groundbreaking accomplishment, it's certainly not a pre-requisite for intelligence.

  20. From TFA... on IBM Wins $83 Million From Groupon In E-Commerce Patents Case (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "IBM invests nearly $6 billion annually in research and development, producing innovations for society," IBM spokesman Doug Shelton said after the verdict. "We rely on our patents to protect our innovations."

    Mr. Shelton then continued: "As a perfect example, look to our patent for drawing thick lines. Think of how unfortunate the world would be if IBM hadn't invested so much effort in the research of drawing thick lines! Clearly, we should be allowed to profit from our innovation, for at least seventeen years. If the rest of the world wants to share in our innovation, a seat at the table only cost a few tens of millions of dollars."

  21. how can I have confidence in *anything*?

    Well, sir, your post ID ends with 20000, making you unique to the degree of one in ten thousand. I guess there's that.

    Hopefully it will be better than Google's "Find your phone" feature.
