I find it bizarre that urlscan.io displays recent scans from paying customers. I assume GitHub is large enough that they have to pay, anyway. If they're not, who is?

The problem is that there actually are patents covering GraphQL. So anybody who writes an alternative GraphQL server implementation is potentially infringing upon those patents. The issue with the GraphQL spec is that people actually want

I normally hate it when people immediately trot out the old "premature optimization" quote, but it really applies here. Please don't go around naming all your returns just because today's compiler happens to generate bet

The Go library's standard AST package[1] similarly stores comments and whitespace information. It has to, since it's used by gofmt, and you wouldn't be very happy you lost comments when formatting your code. [1] https:/

Maybe something like "Do you have more older siblings than younger siblings?" would work. One twin has to be born before the other. That question has some problems, but I feel like it could serve as the basis for a more specific q
