  1. GraphQL and SQL are about as related as Java and Javascript
  2. Are we sure that the things listed here will not go away in a few years if Google continues to exist?

  3. Expected Value
  4. By the way, acquisitions are easier to defend IMO. There are definitely cases of "Business X acquires business Y" that have no anti-competitive intent or anti-competitive consequences. But at least anecdotally, I can say mergers that do not lead to anti-competitive behavior are quite rare.
  5. It is called something like chai in half of the word and something like tea in the other half :)

  6. Not Finnish, but in Turkish (another language without gendered pronouns) I'd use something like "o ne dedi bu ne dedi" (what did that say, what did this say)

    I'd guess Finnish has more than one demonstrative pronoun, too :)

  7. A blockchain-free protocol is not a protocol with "no you can't do anything blockchain related on this" restriction. A blockchain-free protocol is one where the protocol itself does not involve a blockchain. Like HTTP, or FTP, or Gopher, or IRC, SMTP etc.
  8. I remember there was an instance of a soldier being beheaded on the Bosphorus bridge. Not sure about the plural though
  9. It is y/y (comparing Nov 2021 to Nov 2020). m/m 7% inflation is generally something more catastrophic.
  10. More like two thirds of it, by the way.
  11. Isn't that just erlang?

    Snarkiness aside, that would be interesting. Not just as an educational tool, but it might be useful in the same way as erlang is (large, fault-tolerant, massively parallel systems). But with OOP instead of FP (Elixir attempts to be the "friendly"/more conventional version of erlang, but it is still very much a functional language).

  12. Kind of. I mean, that's pretty much the reason it stayed there after being the provisional capital.

    Why was it the provisional capital? Well, the major cities (Istanbul, Izmir) were occupied. Ankara was * Controlled by Ataturk's government * Centrally Located * Decently Large (i.e. not a village)

  13. > There needs to be some sort of institution that can verify these claims that these companies can use.

    A government?

  14. I guess the solution here is to not use your main Google account with youtube vanced?
  15. What about I randomly generate a number, add it to the illegal number to get a result. Is the resulting number illegal or not? (Thinking about it mathematically, the resulting number's distribution isn't really affected by the illegal number - Maybe we can practically find something by taking a lot of generated numbers and analyzing the apparent distribution)

    Another idea is to generate a random number and multiply it with an illegal prime. If the illegal prime is a sufficiently large number; we can extract the original illegal prime with very high confidence by just finding its prime factors and picking the shortest one.

  16. Well, not as much of an organization. Ulku ocaklari is the successor organization. Although it shares the same ideology as with its historical counterpart, it is considered mostly harmless. Generally due to the sheer incompetence of the organization).

    However, there are far too many individuals/groups (Equivalent to Mafia in Turkey, ultranationalist gangs in Europe) that sympathize/share views with said organization. And those guys are definitely not "mostly harmless".

  17. For me in Turkey: Having my tied to a foreign country is kind of inconvenient (paying fees and having to wait for a swift transfer). Having it tied to an exchange rate has benefits that far outweigh the inconveniences of the transfer (With the way exchange rates have been going for the last few years, it feels more like* you get automatic raises throughout the year tied to inflation in addition to your yearly raise)

    * I know it is not that, but it feels like that. Also thankfully not tied to the officially reported inflation rate in Turkey

  18. That would be a good point if the non-metric system we are discussing was based in binary. It's mostly (but not entirely) based around base-12 and uses 1/3 very commonly as a fraction (as well as 1/6). 1/3 and 1/6 does not have an exact floating point representation.
  19. Hacker news was written in Arc, which, AFAIK, explicitly has no object-oriented features.
  20. What about the ones that are on fridges?
