At Samsara our golang graphql implementation ( https://github.com/samsarahq/thunder ) works this way. We write out resolver functions using plain old go types and use some reflection magic at startup to compute the graph

I think this is something that graphql implementations are still trying to figure out. At work (samsara.com) we use a time-based batch[0] for our queries to help with n+1 issues in our graphql server. Separate branches of the the graphql qu

Hmm, GoodReads seems to be an imdb for books. I'd be more interested in a format more suited toward discussion/annotation - like what you'd get out of a good college-level literature course.

Tangentially - I consistently find myself wanting to discuss a book I've read, but unable to do so for lack of others who're in the same position. Are there places on the internet for good discussion around individual books?

Where do the 10 microstellars go? Are they actually destroyed?

The problem there probably wouldn't be the node.js code, rather, the library has a dependency for mp3 encoding with LAME (used on the Sonos end for streaming), which I've found hardware like the raspberry pi sometimes has trouble

Thank you! Would love further feedback (stephen at stephenwan.net) if you find yourself having any problems using it. The code is very-much early stage, so there are some issues to squash.

Thanks! Behind the scenes, I've written an node.js component that's able to talk to OS X/iOS devices ( https://github.com/stephen/nodetunes ) via AirTunes and stream in raw audio data. From there, AirSonos

@por and @berberous - Does audio play at all even when the error happens, or completely doesn't work? I've noticed that sometimes it occurs but the streaming still works fine. "strange error flushing buffer" is emitted f

Tangential point - what does the phrase "any dish?" mean?

Very cool! I bought a Play:3 a few months back and was also dissatisfied with the given OS X/iOS apps - I'm currently working on enabling AirPlay support for Sonos devices. ( http://stephen.github.io/airsonos/

Had this very probably on Friday - wanted to learn more about what was new with the SpaceX launch and ended up spending a couple hours on Wikipedia.

In re the sections on "hiding the lag" - Bungie (the guys behind the original Halo games) have a pretty cool presentation on how they hid lag in Halo Reach. http://downloads.bungie.net/presentations/David_Aldr

Makes me wonder - would we ever get to a point where it's in Square/Stripe/Coinbase/et. al's interests to contribute mining power to help their own transactions along? Or is that pretty much taken care of by transac

How is Square/Stripe getting around the issue that most exchanges wait for 6 confirmations before a transaction is accepted? Are they ignoring the risk of a double spend and just going ahead once a transaction has propagated to the net
