@qgustavor FWIW I’ve had this happen before, and it was because the API in question defined the return type as non-nullable. To support partial responses, return types must be nullable so that GQL can insert a null where the data would go, and then put a corresponding error for that null in the errors array.

A GQL implementation might rightly be unable to give you a schema-compliant partial response to your query in that case, so it has to fail the whole response.

The last few months really highlight how much corporations prefer fascism to socialism, and why the democrats refuse to adopt a populist message even if it means losing.

The ACIP vote was tied 6-6 for requiring everyone to get a prescription for the COVID19 vaccine. The chair broke the tie by voting NO. Prescriptions will NOT be required.

@thecorodon @babe Reminds me of when I had a friend over and we spent an afternoon downloading every MIDI we could think of and rating them and singing along. You make fun with what you have. (MP3s existed, but took too long to download on dialup, as well as being difficult to find.)

❝ BILLIONAIRES ARE THE ONLY DANGEROUS MINORITY ❞

back in the day, even with birthright succession, if the nobility decided you shouldn’t accede, then you didn’t become king (or queen).

that’s the system of government american b̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶a̶i̶r̶e̶s̶¹ want: one in which b̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶a̶i̶r̶e̶s̶ (not even millionaires) act as a nobility & decide who you accept as your ruler with pantomime elections.

“Trump’s social security chief says ‘everything’ is on the table and retirement is about to get a ‘different set of rules’”

Trump himself promised hands off Social Security, so he either 1) tells SS commisioner Frank Bisignano to STFU or 2) is asked from now until the day he dies why he lied to millions of Americans.

Your choice, Donald.

Why aren't we trying to cut off the US from anything in the rest of the world? Break their international supply chains, stop relying on American products, start building local alternatives.

Stop making the US the center of the world. And maybe we can also make sure it doesn't go back to being the center even after it stops being an authoritarian regime.

This was a three second exposure (with about 10 stops of neutral density). The sun was behind the clouds and just above the center of the frame; the lens required careful flagging to avoid glare.

The rendering of water, especially in the sea, differs greatly with exposure. 30 seconds looks quite different from 3 seconds, which is just as different from 1/30 sec, which is different from 1/1000 sec. About 1/30 sec renders roughly the way our vision does; anything else requires a camera to see.

An article went around a few days ago in which one of the songwriters from KPop Demon Hunters apparently claimed that ChatGPT helped write the song “Soda Pop”.

TL;DR:

The songwriter actually never claimed that.
The AI-translated interview did.

Yay, more AI-generated misinformation!

@cstross @Azuaron @Jennifer @ewen

It's a bit more than that. A load of real estate funds were sitting on what was about to become negative equity because COVID reduced the demand for office space. A lot of loans came due this summer, but the new data centre leases let them refinance them and hide other losses. But that depends on their tenants not invoking early break clauses. Rather than the bubble bursting, it was propped up by another one. And that means they are likely to pop together.
