> You're assuming average Joe has any way of knowing wether produced-by-paper seatbelts in car A is any different from vinyl seatbelts in car B without any governed inspecting organ.

Average Joe doesn't spend time figuring out which technology/product is good for him or not because of govt regulation. If not for that, then people would develop a lot more ability to figure these things out. So you can't say that average joe doesn't have a way of knowing something which he today doesn't have any need to know.

Not GP but ionic is really solid. It helps to think of it mostly as a CSS framework with a tool chain for deployment and testing. Theres also a lot of examples and a pretty big community around angular + ionic.
To be fair, there's lots of other organs in your body that are already single points of failure. Regardless, there's probably a reason we evolved with two kidneys. My personal theory (i.e. I have no idea if there's any actual research on this hypothesis) is that before humans discovered cooking, agriculture, sanitation, etc., there were a lot more diseases and toxins and such in the food we ate, so the organs responsible for handling them were much more active than they are now. This is why you can get rid of your tonsils, appendix, a large fraction of your liver, and one of your kidneys and still be "fine".

(To reiterate, though, I don't know how much research there is to support this theory.)
We're considering moving the new Rust language service over to this protocol, or possibly, having it as a default protocol while supporting other protocols.

Since I've been learning it recently, maybe some points to help understand it:

It's just the protocol piece. Currently, VSCode will stand up the language server and communicate using the protocol over stdin/stdout. Nothing to say they couldn't support http servers in the future, but currently it seems lower level that that.

They do support hovers, which you can use for seemingly anything. We currently are using them for type information and showing API docs.

I'm hoping this takes on with other editors, as once they support it, then they'll get the stronger language support the servers provide, which can do hovers, on-the-fly error checking, code navigation, and more. It's not perfect, but as a baseline set of features, it's a pretty good starting set.
What makes it your or my place to decide that? They're a private company, and they have plenty of profit motive for efficiency. If they didn't think they were getting value from all of those engineers, then they would fire them and save themselves some money. Or are we going to argue that corporate executives aren't greedy enough?
Don't HP cartidges have the print heads in them, i.e. the only thing you'll damage is the "empty" cartidge?
The question I was wondering about is: When does an organization realize and say, we have hired enough engineers to support our current systems?

Takeaway: use Elm.
Well, so are Amazon's lowest tier nodes. I think its fair to say that AWS and Azure aren't competing against cheap VPS like Linode or Digital Ocean.

Frankly, I'm beginning to think that things are swinging back to dedicated. I'm seeing ~$30 to ~$50 / month deals on a lot of dedicated servers (years old Xeon boxes), which have the main advantage of dedicated I/O. (No "neighbors" eating up the SSD or HDD IOPS).

https://www.nocix.net/dedicated/

https://www.kimsufi.com/uk/servers.xml

For a certain scale, aiming at dedicated is probably cheaper, especially when you consider how much faster a dedicated SSD box is than a shared VPS.

The main benefits of AWS (or Azure) are all of the other features they offer on their platform. But I don't think that they are low-cost anymore, especially in today's world with ~$42/month dedicated SSD Xeon servers.
A better approach than consumer reports is label certifications. A product bearing more testing labels (like things from Under writer's laboratory, or movies rated by MPAA etc etc) will have a better chance of being marketed to bigger audience.
There are also two App Engine backends... Standard Environment and Flexible Environment. See here (upper left):

Flexible runs on Compute whereas Standard runs on the well known App Engine.
According to the author:

> The truth is, it is hard to get good numbers about what happens to donors. Hospitals are required to follow them for only two years post-donation, which does not catch such long-term complications as chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular issues or psychiatric issues. There is no national registry for kidney donors or other large-scale means of tracking long-term outcomes.

That's surprising to me. Seems like it's one of the easier things to track. Though what is the status quo for health tracking beyond chronic diseases?
Presidential Temperament
Don't have a phone handy. Can anyone fill me in on what this is supposed to be beyond an animation?
There are real risks in the actual donation, of course. And some lifelong things you need to worry about. It does affect treatment of other things. For example, if you happen to have a rotator cuff injury, you can't just take high doses of anti-inflammatory meds for a month. You have to do physical therapy and steroid injections. And, in our wonderful US healthcare system, you'll get near-zero aftercare beyond a few months worth of checkups. You'll have to advocate for yourself for later extra checks on your remaining kidney's health and often have to foot the bill yourself because your overpriced insurance will refuse to pay for it.

Non-hailed cabs are regulated in many cities as well. E.g. in NYC the TLC regulates black cars as well as yellow cabs.

You can, and I think ethically must, take responsibility for the fashion in which people use the tool you make.

If you intend it to be only a toy, then you can, and I think ethically must, make that clear.

If people persist despite all warnings in using it in ways that might cause them harm, then you can, and I think ethically must, cease to make it available.

To do otherwise is dangerously cavalier at best, and incompatible with the minimal degree of responsibility which I would require of an employee or a colleague. Perhaps you feel otherwise. That's your prerogative. But, if so, I do hope, for the sake of any users you might have, that you aren't in a position to make similar decisions yourself.
Bummer, what a terrible outcome. This is why I always mind my business and abide by the 'your co-workers are not your friends' dictum.
I've always thought that humans don't perceive weight; instead, they perceive density.
Also, isn't AWS billing per utilization/hour? For small projects this means it is many times cheaper than Azure. Azure is more focused to enterprises than to individual devs.

maybe libraries are allowed, but I don't know any that can really turn this into a 30 minute project. And even researching libraries is hours of work :) If you have any suggestions for this on nodejs, I'll be happy to add it to my interviewing toolbelt :D
JavaScript, We’ve Got to Talk
There are 40 things listed in OP's site. And he claims to have written 40M loc. So approximately 1 mil loc per program, (or 2.5M loc per year)? Honestly can someone write that many lines of code?
You have $25/month for free for a year... And $200 free trial.

You also get credits when buying VS/MSDN.
TypeScript 2.0 and Strict Null Checking
I suspect not... The first plane I threw pretty softy, because I wasn't sure how much force was necessary, and in a couple minutes it traveled from Washington State to Serbia.
You might try looking around, for another company which does what you do now. I did 32-hour weeks for about nine years, both at a small company (~ 850 people) and the comparative behemoth I work for now (~ 90,000 people).
Lets convert a WPF app to UWP
My physiology professor told our class to never donate, especially at our age group (18-23). His presentation included some of the complications listed in the article. However, his reasoning was straightforward: Assuming a long lifespan, if you are in the position with your only kidney failing, you're screwed.

He was speaking generally of course. Not every situation has an easy solution and Poulson took a noble route, albeit when he was young and not fully informed. I have heard med students suffering from slight paranoia because they learn all kinds of diseases and their symptoms (as another comment has stated). I wish all the best to Poulson.
How I Built My Own Heroku for Phoenix Apps
I love that quote even it comes from a lunatic mule. Being prepared and being able to see the alternative endings is not a disability, but being completely obsessed and held hostage by that thought is. There is a difference.

I am not predicting impending doom, but when it hits the fan, better to have a plan than not.
The only thing you can trust is your trace output
40 million lines of code is a lot of code to have written. Is this number exaggerated a bit? Exaggerated a lot? Just doing the math: to code that much in sixteen years (assuming a start of age 10) would require writing 6,800 LOC, every single day.

wat? Azure has minute billing... So does google. AWS is a mess.
You could quite nicely use AWS Lambda for the materialized views, I think.
Of course software is eating the world. Wheels ate the world. Fire ate the world. Written language ate the world. Plumbing ate the world. Electricity ate the world. Radio communications ate the world.

Not every project or human endeavor that involved wheels, fire, written language, plumbing, electricity, or radio ate the world, but every project that did not involve them eventually got eaten, for the simple reason that you needed to keep up with technology as a minimum. But beyond that, projects succeed or fail for the same reason they always have: understanding the actual problem you're trying to solve.

Uber's success is not due to software. Uber's success is due to its understanding of the transportation market and how to play the regulatory game to its advantage while never getting permanently in trouble. Uber's ability to deliver on the huge market opportunity they saw—i.e., its lack of failure—is due to software. We quite reasonably call this "success" when talking about technology, but if we're talking about companies succeeding or failing, that's not a discussion about technology.

For me the most eye-opening lesson about the business world was the realization that you are not an entrepreneur just because you can build something. You become an entrepreneur when you build something that people are willing to pay for.

You may be good at writing software, but are you writing software that solves a problem for anyone? If not, you're going to be hard-pressed to find external validation.

You don't say what your family business is, but is there something there that can be made better -- more efficient, more profitable -- with technology? Some aspect of billing? Shipping? Inventory control?

I'm not suggesting that you acquiesce and go to work for your father if you don't want to. The fast track to misery is following the path that some else chose for you.

But at 26, you don't have a lot of years of hands-on experience in a profitable business. So your father's company may be a quick way to get your foot in the door and expand your skills for a while.
Well, if what's written in the Bible is true--if God is real, and Jesus did come and die for all people, and there is an afterlife coming for everyone, and those who have not washed their sins away will not enter into eternal life--then it's the most relevant thing in the world.

And Jesus did not tell his disciples, "If someone asks you about me, tell them." He said to go and teach. Paul didn't walk into the agora and wait for someone to ask him, "Excuse me, just curious, but which god do you worship?" He started conversations with people and sought those who would hear.

For some people it might involve door-knocking or handing out pamphlets. For others it might mean living a faithful, godly life on a daily basis, in all interactions with people--or to put it in biblical terms, being salt and light, and being in the world but not of it--setting an example that will pique others' interest and provide opportunities to share the gospel. It might mean volunteering for charity work, helping those in need. It might mean traveling to a foreign country and doing mission work.

Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 12 about spiritual gifts and the members of the body each serving their own function. We're not all called to be preachers or teachers or missionaries, etc. We are all called to use the gifts we're given. The parable of the talents in Matthew 25 is an example of this as well.
Yay, there are more videos like these from the same youtube account!

I added something here (https://deadmansapphr.appspot.com/help/), hopefully it's clear enough, but let me know if you have any feedback. I would hate to have people thinking this is secure against the NSA or anything.
I was assuming that JavaScript would already be known to a certain degree.

I would actually recommend React over Angular for a beginner, because (assuming Angular 2 here) they're going to have to learn Typescript too. That's a big undertaking.

A beginner could also use plain old ES5 with a JSX transpiler right in web page with React.

VueJs might be a better choice than both of those, but much more limited job opportunities.
I caught this one, which is almost completely filled: http://imgur.com/a/H58J4
Yep. You can benchmark your server with template rendering and then benchmark again just outputting the values you plug into the templates without rendering them to get a sense of what it's costing you in terms of throughput, latency, etc. The advantage of node.js for serving websites I believe lies in the reusability of JS code on server and web browser, and that outweighs this issue. But you have to make sure your template rendering is efficient enough or be willing to spread the load across enough cores.
Sure. For clarification: by G-space I meant 'how to govern well' or 'how to solve problems about, with, or in governance'.

This is obviously an enormous topic area. It is also a dangerous and highly contentious subject matter filled with many taboos, due to its nature and importance.

That said political scholars, like economists, have come to many consensus realizations. This is kind of amazing since Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are clones from a political science perspective, there exists a great diversity of thought.

This means that there is not as much of a gap between somebody like Francis Fukuyama and Moldbug as is popularly imagined. If you have a sincere interest in outcomes you find unexpected allies.

Here is a good start:

Volume 1: The Origins of Political Order by Francis Fukuyama
Volume 2: Political Order and Political Decay by Francis Fukuyama

Seeing Like a State by James Scott

Exit, Voice and Loyalty by Albert Hirschman

The Problem of Political Authority by Michael Huemer

The Collapse of Complex Societies by Joesph Tainter

The majority of the time these authors are interested in outcomes, not in winning for whatever their home team is.

Outside of academia Silicon Valley itself is having a serious discussion on this topic from our perspective:

Balaji Srinivasan : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOubCHLXT6A

Peter Thiel : http://www.cato-unbound.org/2009/04/13/peter-thiel/education...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3EBfS9IcB4

Patri Friedman : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasteading

Larry Page : https://techcrunch.com/2013/05/15/larry-page-wants-earth-to-...

Last but not least, the notorious Moldbug: Best explained by Scott Alexander : http://slatestarcodex.com/2013/03/03/reactionary-philosophy-...

If somebody is aware of an interesting line of thought around these issues I'll be happy to hear it.

One thing is perfectly clear and that is with the advent of the Internet we see the world differently and that this will lead to different forms of governance for the first time in several hundred years.

I also half seriously recommend you listen to audiobooks by Lovecraft to get into the appropriate mood for studying or reading about government.

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

I don't agree with his statement but it feels familiar after reading the books I recommended to you. This stuff has scale and is scary, the last person to seriously tinker with the subject on this level was Karl Marx.

That is why Patri's ideas may eventually win the day, but I leave you to it.
You stamp a paper with your location, "fold it" and then throw it using the accelerometer of the phone.

Then you can catch other planes, see who else has stamped it, add your own stamp and throw it back with the others. Quite neat.

Are you sure you're not the same when you tell someone your problems? How do you react when they give you advice that is outside of your own mental model, or that is different from what you want to hear?

I'm sure sometimes your assessment that someone else's assumptions are "ridiculous" is fair, but will you consider that sometimes it is your assumptions about their assumptions that are limited or flawed?

From the article:

> If, however, lack of insight is defined as a failure to accept an alternative view of reality, then do the rest of us lack insight, too?

> The assumption that someone else’s reality is invalid can foster distrust; it sends the message that we don’t respect this person’s experience of his or her own life. Many people who have been in the mental health system describe themselves as “survivors” — not of mental illness, but of treatment.
