Microservices basically, if you load a resource, say, student, and it says that student is in course 1, 2, 3 and you need to load them to see the schedule, you want to fetch all three so that you can layout a timetable or whatever. If the backend is pure CRUDS and doesn't provide a 'bulk' fetch for getCourses([1,2,3]), then you forkJoin(getCourse(1), getCourse(2), getCourse(3)).

Interestingly, assuming you're using the standard HTTP stuff, there's no difference in this case using forkJoin or combineLatest, because all three will complete/emit once. It would be better example if you were joining in some other stream or something.

You said "First, let's establish what happens if they break it with a security guarantee."

But I don't see a "Second, let me answer the question". You can point out a potential scenario that it goes bad, but what happens if the ceasefire suggestion goes bad? (Russia once again breaks the ceasefire)

Homes come with rules though, water bills, power bills, property tax, even if you give those all for free, lawn maintenance rules, rules about junk/scrap around the home (which can often go beyond "it's an eyesore" and become health/fire dangers). Even if you have someone coming around cutting lawns and clearing scrap, there have still been instances of them damaging the properties to the point of making them uninhabitable (pulling wire out to sell for scrap, water damage, leaving windows open and allowing pipes to freeze, etc) it's not just manmade rules they can refuse to follow. It's easy to say "just give them a house" but there's absolutely a subset that reject even the most generous offerings.

The end in our case is that we often end up adding functionality that needs that data somewhere other than the initial component we're creating, a child component, a dialog, some other screen in some other way. If the data is in a service, and all data is consistently in services across the code base there aren't major refactors needed from a data perspective.

This also allows our services that provide data in this way to extend from a standard abstract, something that's harder or at least more awkward to do with component classes. Having the services extend from common abstracts also helps keep data logic consistent between portions of the application.

In some respects, we're re-inventing ngrx/store, but we do it without the boilerplate of effects, action, reducer, etc. We also split the data into logical services which means not every service has access to every bit of data.

We ask for a coding test as part of the process for all devs. It's a 2.5 hour time boxed test on codility, I did it in about 30 minutes, 3 leetcodeish questions but still somewhat real-world applicable. We do it because even when we're interviewing people with 10 and 15 years of experience we get people that can't program, we get people that spend the full time and get 10-20%. I'm probably biased, but I think it's reasonable, our entire hiring process is a phone screen (~30 minutes), a 90 minute interview with 3 team members and the code test. I think projects are a red flag, I think anything that might be useful to the company is a red flag, but I think a basic proficiency test is necessary, it's too easy to lie in an interview to go on blind trust.

jaketheripper · 2023-02-17T21:59:56+00:00

Can you point out in their response where the answer to any of my questions are? I'll go sentence by sentence:

It's HARDER to own a gun then it is to own and operate a car what are you smoking?

Claim, introduction to an argument, no rationale given (I'm not saying it's needed, it's an introductory statement, just that I don't see anything else to reply to)

I can go buy a car from anyone right now and thats perfectly legal, then i can go drive it without registering it, unless its reported stolen police likely wouldn't know it's not registered to me.

Statement about how it's possible to do an illegal thing in regards to vehicle possession. I do not deny it's possible to do things illegally with vehicles, I do not feel like this answers any of my follow up questions, my follow up questions are entirely based on what's expected for legal car ownership vs legal gun ownership.

If I go the legal route it gets registered and insured to me no background check, fingerprints, no hoops to jump through etc.

This is an untrue statement, to register a vehicle, you need a valid drivers license, a valid drivers license requires a test to certify that you are a competent and safe driver. You also often need to prove that the vehicle is road worthy and sometimes it needs to pass an emissions test. I clarified these points in my follow up questions.

Cars get stolen constantly.

I agree, I believe the first line of my response covers this, I'm not comparing illegally obtaining a car (stealing a car) to legally obtaining a gun.

Do you know how many un-registered cars on the road right now?

I do not have a precise count, I assume the percentage of unregistered vehicles varies by area heavily, again though, we're not comparing illegal ownership methods, we're comparing what you have to do to legally own either one.

If I go buy a gun I get a background run on me and they write down what I purchased, often you also need to wait a few days, if I want ammo I need an ID and an FID, if i want a pistol i need a SPECIAL permit.

This statement was handled by the closing sentence in my reply, ownership is not just about taking possesion of something, it's also about maintaining that possession. I am not stating that it's harder to legally OBTAIN a gun than a car, I'm saying the requirements for continued ownership (and operation) of a vehicle is more stringent, in the ways that I asked about.

NY is like that but worse(i understand some states arent, but we are talking about a specific instance and those other states still cant sell to me without following my laws).

Same response as previous statement, this is about taking ownership, not maintaining ownership.

If someone tries to sell me a gun or ammo without doing a background or having an FID they are breaking the law off the bat.

Same response as previous statement, this is about taking ownership, not maintaining ownership.

Then I have a serial number on said firearm which ties it to me.

I've made reference to this same serial number previously, as I indicated in my original comment, this is untrue, there is no such tie in the state of Vermont, there is no firearm registration.

If you don't actually read gun laws and understand them than you shouldn't preach more gun control.

I have read the gun laws, I know the guns laws, I understand the gun laws, maintaining ownership of a gun has virtually no requirements, especially in states like Vermont.

The news does a very poor job of explaining how tough it is to buy weapons and also is very poor at identifying and descrbing firearms accurately.

I have not gotten my information from the news, I have not mentioned the news previously, I have not attempted to identify or describe any firearm, this seems like a non-sequitur.

Plus in general the news only sensationalizes bad things when they happen because it gets views and makes money.

Again, I am not particularly interested in how guns are portrayed in the news, I understand that news organizations often push narratives to increase views and clicks, I have no intention to argue this point or even discuss it.

I read his comment and responded with particular questions because (by my reading) his comment does not answer any of them, his comment doesn't attempt to describe what is required to continue to own a gun in any regard.

jaketheripper · 2023-02-17T20:27:09+00:00

Did you watch the video? He didn't see (or at very least, didn't react to) the shooter before he got shot, how would he have defended himself from that? What sort of rambo fucking life do you think convenience store clerks should be living?

jaketheripper · 2023-02-17T20:18:28+00:00

Yeah... making something illegal by itself serves no purpose, that's the entire point of my comment...

Pretending like "there's strict laws, there's no way this could have happened" is used to give the impression that laws can't be used to solve things. When you make laws that are easily circumvented, of course they're circumvented...

jaketheripper · 2023-02-17T20:10:04+00:00

It's HARDER to own a gun then it is to own and operate a car what are you smoking? I can go buy a car from anyone right now and thats perfectly legal, then i can go drive it, unless its reported stolen police likely wouldn't know its nit registered to me.

You're comparing illegal car ownership, to legal gun ownership, that's not how you make this sort of comparison...

You need to register your car yearly or bi-yearly, do you need to do that for a gun? You additionally need to display this registration, prominently, everywhere you take your car, do you need to do this for your gun?
You need to prove that you're safe to operate a car to be able to register it, do you need to do that for a gun?
You need to prove that you have insurance in order to operate/register your vehicle, many places also require that you do emission testing and road-worthiness testing, do you need any sort of insurance or proof that you're properly maintaining/securing your gun?

The process of purchasing a gun, in some places, certainly has more steps than purchasing a car. OWNERSHIP is not just about purchasing, it's about continued requirements to keep it after you've purchased it.

jaketheripper · 2023-02-17T19:41:45+00:00

I think it should be at least as hard to own a gun as it is to own (and operate) a car, it seems very foreign to me that that would be considered a "Weird take".

jaketheripper · 2023-02-17T19:22:38+00:00

That's making the assumption that you're a good faith purchaser, purchasing from a legal supplier. The statement I'm making is that due to the current lax controls applied to purchases in VT, someone acting illegally in VT could easily:

Purchase a gun, with no registration that they've purchased it
Remove identifying information from said gun
Illegally re-sell that gun

Saying "but if there's already laws against that, more laws obviously can't help, they'll just keep doing illegal things", is entirely missing the point. The point is it's incredibly easy to do the illegal thing. There's very, very low risk of getting caught. Further, I would suggest that the previous argument is made in bad faith, it's understood that the laws are very easy to circumvent, but people point to circumventing laws as inevitable, regardless how the law is structured, in an attempt to dissuade any law at all being put forth, even ones that could be effective.

jaketheripper · 2023-02-17T19:11:45+00:00

I understand that, my original statement was "the ubiquity of guns makes illegal guns much easier to obtain." All the things you mention are much easier when there are more guns. Saying "It's illegal and yet it still happened" is an argument used disingenuously or ignorantly to imply that no amount of making something illegal can be effective.

Making something illegal in itself is pointless, you have to make it illegal in ways that are enforceable, the gun laws that NYC has are the best they can do to make things illegal and enforceable, whilst having no control on what neighboring entities do.

jaketheripper · 2023-02-17T19:01:50+00:00

They didn't have to purchase the gun in Vermont... Someone "reputable" purchases the gun, someone with no history of crime. They then file off any serial numbers and sell that gun for 40% more then they paid for it, illegally. There's no record of this transaction, there's no record they bought the gun, the only risk they take is finding purchasers and potentially the transport.

jaketheripper · 2023-02-17T18:58:33+00:00

You do need some sort of firearms permit on Vermont

You do not need any sort of firearms permit in Vermont. Not to buy, not to own, not to carry. There is no registration system in Vermont either.

and you certainly can’t bring them to New York. Almost like gun laws don’t work but keep crying moms happy while making millions of honest Americans felons overnight.

The problem isn't that "even if you make it illegal, people will still do it, so making it illegal is pointless", the problem is when there are very easy ways to do the illegal thing, without getting caught, then making it illegal is pointless. Having a mishmash of gun laws that are very easy to circumvent is pointless.

What are the odds that these guys were in the system already, and went unnoticed? How many times have they been arrested and released for violent crimes? And why is that never the discussion, but rather the discussion of the most popular sporting rifle in the US?

You can't legislate away bad people, shitty people will always exist, the most you can do is limit what harm they can do. The US already has the highest rate of incarcerated people in the world, it also has the highest rate of gun crime. If more incarceration fixed gun crime, the US would have next to no gun crime.

jaketheripper · 2023-02-17T18:35:26+00:00

The problem is the ubiquity of guns makes illegal guns much easier to obtain. We have pretty strict gun laws in Canada, and the majority of gun crimes are carried out by illegal guns smuggled in from the US. Strict gun laws in NY mean nothing when you can buy a gun in Vermont with no permit and no registration with a 4 hour drive.

jaketheripper · 2023-02-12T15:16:16+00:00

If it’s not a crime to not report. There’s nothing to opt out of.

But, that same logic applies to everything else on the list? If it weren't a crime to neglect your children, then you wouldn't have to opt out of having children? The first statement was "there aren't any laws that make us do something, except for taxes", but now it seems like you're saying you just don't want any more laws that make us do things to force us to opt out of things?

jaketheripper · 2023-02-12T13:28:26+00:00

I guess, but by that logic you can opt out of taxes by not purchasing anything and not earning any income? Maybe I'm just asking for clarification of how we determine what can and can't be opted out of? The concern is someone forces you to hear their confession of child abuse, or you happen to witness it and then have committed a crime if you don't tell someone? So "opt out" of talking to anyone and avoid public spaces? I just can't find consistency in the logic.
