At Allegro we decided to introduce GraphQL as our API Gateway for building several internal client systems. By building such a solution we’ve learnt a lot about this technology and we would like to share it with you in this article. What’s GraphQL and how does it work? To understand how to increase GraphQL’s performance we need to understand how it works under the hood. Why is it so important? In GraphQL most of the common ideas on how to speed up the communication are useless. timer ( "api.g. (BACK TO TOP)
Once you’ve determined that you want to use Kubernetes as your base for developing applications locally, it’s time to figure out which development solution is the best. There are many different options out there, but a few select reign over the others as the most common, including minikube , kind , K3s , kubeadm , Docker Desktop , and MicroK8s . In addition, all these reasons help you avoid the situation where something works on one machine and doesn’t on others.k3s.io | sh - .dmg file. (BACK TO TOP)

A few weeks ago, an interesting HN thread caught my eye. When implementing an interpreter for a programming language, Lisp is often cited as a particularly attractive example due to its simplicity. Why is that? I've really enjoyed implementing Lisp interpreters and compilers in the past [1] , so I'd like to reflect a bit on this topic. But first, an important clarification: when I say "Lisp" I mean a family of languages, some of them minimal (like the original Lisp 1... (cadr e) a) (eval. (pair. (BACK TO TOP)
Today we’re delighted to introduce Tailscale SSH , to more easily manage SSH connections in your tailnet . Tailscale SSH allows you to establish SSH connections between devices in your Tailscale network, as authorized by your access controls, without managing SSH keys, and authenticates your SSH connection using WireGuard®. Many organizations already use Tailscale to protect their SSH sessions — for example, to allow users to connect from their work laptop to their work desktop.” And so we did. (BACK TO TOP)

The public FotoForensics service only provides a small subset of the tools that we have for detecting alterated photos. We explicitly don't make everything available to the public. One of the big reasons for holding back the advanced algorithms is that I often see people using the public service to develop new fraud techniques. These developers often upload a series of pictures, each with minor changes, until they end up with a solution that is not detectable on the public site. 22 deg 9' 58. (BACK TO TOP)

The goal of recruiting is to find a match - the right candidate for the right role. To find that match, my main goal is to always help a recruit make an informed decision. If a candidate chooses to go elsewhere and knows all the pros and cons - it stinks, but it’s not a match. If they go elsewhere and don’t understand the role’s value and opportunity, that’s a big failure.

I recently finished a collection of Seneca’s letters, in which there were a few lovely insights 1 . I found this one particularly relatable. As someone with ADHD I am particularly prone to rapidly flitting between subjects, but I am sure every developer has gone through stages in their growth when they just want to know everything all at once. What is wanted is neither haphazard dipping nor a greedy onslaught on knowledge in the mass. We mustn’t take on more than we can manage. ↩︎ (BACK TO TOP)

When you are the only dev building a software project, you can create and modify your code according to personal preference. When you contribute code to a team-run project, you need to follow a standardized set of guidelines and coordinate precisely with other team members. Standard guidelines and coordinated work effort are vital to the success of every team-based software development project. To address this need, engineering teams worldwide have devised many development workflows. (BACK TO TOP)

Some readers have written in with questions about my photo geotagging post from last week. One common question is whether the place name has ended up in the file's metadata somehow. The answer is: I don't think so. I did an "export as original" on the photo in question and ran it through a bunch of exif dumper tools and didn't find anything that suggested a name like that. The EXIF data looks like this: Create Date : 2014:06:16 13:02:15.202 Date/Time Original : 2014:06:16 13:02:15.12mm f/2. (BACK TO TOP)
I like finding inspirations in unusual places. Several summers back, a friend shared a link to a story about apt-get starting Dwarf Fortress (!) when they tried to upgrade packages, or something like that. The general consensus was that it involved something intending to invoke df (as in /usr/bin/df, the command on the box) and getting the game instead of the "disk free" info.

I used to work at Facebook. That was both the name of the service with all of the cat pictures and the name of the company that paid me every two weeks. The cat picture part still has the same name, but the parent company does not. It's called Meta now. I left well before any of that renaming happened. As a result, I have plenty of pictures that predate that change on my Macs and other Apple devices. It's no longer "Facebook HQ". It's now "Meta - Headquarters". Companies do that all the time.

2020 年 11 月，Meta 執行長 Mark Zuckerberg 傳送電子郵件給技術長 Andrew “Boz” Bosworth 和 Reality Labs 首席科學家 Michael Abrash，信中提出非常直白的問題：「是什麼阻礙我們擁有虛實難辨的 VR 顯示器？我們需要解決什麼問題才能達成目標？」 Zuckerberg 和 Abrash 多年來針對打造先進的虛擬實境（VR）顯示系統，已進行了一系列深入的對話，包括在 2015 年造訪具前景的擴增實境（AR）公司、頻繁的電子郵件對話、一對一討論、技術審查，以及多次在雷德蒙德和門洛公園的展示；上述是最近期的一次對話。 他們大可以回覆天馬行空的推測，但實情卻恰恰相反，因為由 Douglas Lanman 帶領的 Reality Labs 顯示系統研究（Display Systems Research，簡稱 DSR）團隊在過去五年來，已深入研究了回答 Zuckerberg 提問所需的所有技術。事實上，這個問題來得正是時候；是時候具體規劃 DSR 對 VR 顯示器未來十年的願景了：通過視覺圖靈測試。 顯示器研究的終極目 (BACK TO TOP)
