How do you secure this data in Hasura? The article does not seem to mention security.

anandr2013 commented on Ask HN: What back end skills do I need to become 'fullstack'? · Posted by u/anandr2013
Different approach. The whole idea of full stack developers is a corporate wet dream; they managed to reduce the developer role into something that looks more like a janitor, someone who takes care of everything that no one else wants to deal with. It's been proven over and over again that mastery is what really drives motivation and satisfaction, being really good at what you're doing; but corporate a-holes couldn't care less about humans except as means for more awesome profits.
Hm...I guess.
But don't you think getting a basic idea of all the different things happening on the backend (by doing them once since that seems to be the only way to really know something) would help when I focus on specific area again.
Things move so quickly that having a detailed understanding of different moving parts would seem to help. It's kind of how I grew into doing interactive stuff from just HTML/CSS too.
Hi, this is the author of the post. I would love to hear your opinions or war stories about building infra or provider agnostic applications.

Looks interesting. How are permissions handled?

As described in a post by Zuckerberg, before the Paris attack it was only activated for natural disasters. Paris was the first time it was activated for human disasters and they will be doing it more in the future.
I think the post had a bit of a frantic working backwards and managing PR tinge to it. A cyclone/tsunami also takes place over an extended period of time, and is very similar to a human disaster.
In any case, it is a really nice feature and the fact that they will start using it for more disasters is undoubtedly a good thing.

I don't think you understand what drives the violence in Lebanon. It isn't a handful of radical citizens. It is national level political parties that draw strong support from the population. If you can find any French political party or ruling faction that had a hand in the attacks then I would agree with you but I doubt that is the case.
I'm also not arguing that they are used to violence there for it is alright. I'm saying that they support violence or at least the use of it by their politicians to achieve their political goals there for they get what they promote.
Firstly, these attacks were not perpetrated by any national level political party. Your line of thought, as the article puts it, portrays "a busy civilian, residential and commercial district as a justifiable military target."
However, the more important point is that it is always a radical fringe. Saying it is otherwise is terribly offensive and suggests a fundamental lack of understanding.

The apple music search is also atrocious - that gets a relook as well hopefully.
I think in general, we (or at least I) have underestimated how good Google is at search, probably a result of how they have been monopolising talent for the last several years. This technical superiority (particularly in the machine learning space) is going to be a huge advantage going forward, as already evidenced by how much better Google now is than Siri.
