>Another thing is those of us with O blood type have to wait much longer for kidney transplants because we are universal donors for organs also.

It's two things: we're universal donors, but non-universal receivers. We can give blood to anyone (Rh factor is an extra complication here), but we can only receive O blood, not any other type, so we're really screwed when we need something. Us O- people are even worse.

>If they don't know the patients blood type would they check for the Rh antibodies before using O+ blood?

In a trauma case, they probably don't have time to type your blood at all, so they just give you O+. There's lots of O+ available, but not much O-. Rh- people could have a real problem if they've already had an Rh+ transfusion, but oh well...

There is a startling statistic that shows colon cancer for older people is dropping, due to routine colonoscopies recommended for those 50+, but is increasing in those that are in their 20's and 30's. It's a more aggressive type too.

All I can recommend is that if one has previously unexplained constipation, thinning stools and/or blood in the stool, get checked right away and insist on a referral for a colonoscopy. My doctor initially thought it was constipation or IBS and it was two months before a referral to gastro.

In 5-10 years I think medicine will start to recommend a colonoscopy at age 30.

Bookmarks used to launch in a little docked file browser style window. It was ugly, but it was easy and quick to organize. You can still get it to behave like that, but it takes a lot more effort so, it has definitely gotten worse in my opinion. Certainly it takes more effort to organize.

Really, what they should have is a "Snapshot" option and a bookmark option where the snapshot saves a static local copy of a site and a bookmark saves a link. Bookmarks should have RSS integration so you can optionally sort by recently updated. History needs a meaningful search option and a way to group/nest by domain. We haven't even tried to pick the low hanging fruit.

Bookmarks are however, antithetical to Google's worldview and business model which I think drives some of their languish given that so much of the internet now relies on Chrome.
>> Which modern aircraft does it cost more than?

Wikipedia indicates the A10 runs about $12M. Maybe it's actually more, but there is alot of room between 12 and 81. The article also indicates that the F-35 needs upgrades as soon as it's purchased, so they are playing games to lower the quoted price.

You did ask about "modern aircraft" which the A10 is not, but that's my point. "Modern" or "Advanced Technology" is not relevant - the troops and pilots are saying the F-35 can not perform the mission of the A10 as well as the A10, so it seems to be a case of "modern advanced technology" is actually an expensive step in the wrong direction.
Luna looks great. I've been doing work in this area myself and hope to launch my own visual programming environment next month or so: https://imgur.com/a/zLS1g0t

Unlike Luna though, my own environment does not have a dual-syntax representation. It can import functions from TypeScript though and export them as nodes. I also plan to target build tools rather than data processing.

So a cryptocurrency that is more currency than crypto? Again, back to the argument that the market is the same as in-game currency, store gift cards, Chuck-E-Cheese tokens, etc.

Let's be honest, most of the hype around cryptocurrency is for speculation and not as a legitimate means of exchange. Normal money works fine for means-of-exchange barring a few exceptions e.g. capital flight, money laundering, generally escaping regulation so the only value left is hype.

It's still the case under some circumstances. When traveling on an international data plan in Europe, I've been burned a couple of times by a map download or a background sync operation that burned through my whole allowance--leading to another $60 or so charge. I try to remember to turn off cellular data when not actively using it when on such a plan but I sometimes forget.

It's gotten better. The plan I usually get for a couple weeks of travel gives me 1GB these days. But not that long ago it was 200MB or so.

Here's a simple example of a strategy that would be hard to obsolete: walk around campus scanning girls' faces. Cross-reference them with girls who have recently posted anything like "I'm so lonely I'll go out with the next guy who talks to me" on social media. Go talk to them.

The following exchange is interesting to read in the context of a dystopian mass surveillance society (John 4:16-19):

Jesus told her, "Go, call your husband and come back."

"I have no husband," the woman replied.

Jesus said to her, "You are correct to say that you have no husband. In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully."

"Sir," the woman said, "I see that You are a prophet."

This should be a lot higher. Hexfloats are not just a C/C++ thing, plenty of languages and software packages support them by now. And they can very much be used as part of a text input format, to avoid the sizeable overhead of "human-friendly" float parsing. If you maintain a text-based format that has any chance of being a CPU/compute bottleneck in this way, you should definitely make sure that hexfloats are supported!

Edit: someone else mentioned that roundtrip accuracy could also be an issue. Theoretically true, I guess, but really, if you want to use decimal-based float input you should just use an algorithm that roundtrips correctly, and eat that overhead. Anything else has a potential to impact reproducibility of results, etc. It's not worth it silently corrupting your data just for that saving in compute cost.

Ok this is getting a bit meta recursive, I made a mistake in the explanation of my mistake that I attempted to edit away before you replied to it. Anyway, I was talking about the range above your range, yo dawg :D...

How if you took a limited precision range of rationals in base 10, e.g 0.10000 to 0.20000 and convert them to base 2, there are "holes" of non-representable numbers in the range. These holes are of different sizes, (one of which is the range you are talking about), so I summarized it as that.

That's a bit too idealistic; in practice, any commit MAY have a bug which passed quality control. The problem is that it's all down to people's discipline, it's not an enforced standard.

A package manager where every release has to be reviewed, tested and approved before they become generally available would be a pretty interesting case, I know bigger companies who are reluctant to upgrade because of known bugs in the past would be willing to pay for something like that.

Roblox has kind of gone through a number of iterations. There was a time where it was really deep by default (and not much point and click) and knowing a good amount of Lua was useful.

Hear, hear!

Sometimes you do need to reliably communicate a floating-point number across a text channel. Hex float is low-risk in the sense that both the encoding and decoding process are much simpler and therefore easier to verify than something that round-trips through decimal. Yes, there are some correct implementations of the decimal<->binary algorithms that round-trip correctly. But there also remain a number of incorrect implementations.

> Aimed at large scale companies. We only have 1000s of users, and we care about each individual exception, but I think it is really aimed at consolidating large numbers of events.

What you're saying here confuses my slightly. Sentry is aimed at consolidating large numbers of equivalent events. It looks at things like the stack trace to determine when to merge events into a single issue. If you deploy a bug that results in one exception occurring a thousand times per second you want sentry to create one issue with thousands of events, not thousands of issues, right?
Very intrigued. The things that threw me off were:

1. It would be great if you could give an example of what the fees look like. For instance, borrowing £100 for 30 days costs £5 or something. Sounds like I have to sign up and load money into the app to get a sense of how expensive it would be.

2. The nicknames for common banking terms may cause more confusion than they're worth :/ I had to make a mental map between "pocket" = account, "bit" = loan, "superpowers" = also loan? before I could understand what I was reading.

Good luck!

There's not going to be any reality to your role once you start either. Your devops role might suddenly become an IC role on their line of business app. It might become a support role. You might be asked to skill up on a stack you've never even considered without any notice or slack before you're expected to produce results in that stack.

Sure, it should do precisely that, IMO. Serialize it and dump it. All of this is in browser cache AFAIK anyway, so it's not like it's some completely novel programming exercise.

As for keeping up with the server side - I don't care. The "sync to the server state" button exists, and is called "Refresh" button. Nothing needs to be implemented by website author.

Well, you could probably ask the same question of any good salesperson today. The answer is likely that people stick to what they want to do and what they're good at. If you want to build a company, you build a company. If you want to sell, you find a product you can sell and you excel at that.

This is a natural consequence of an increasing supply of qualified labor. Do you need a college degree to serve coffee? No. Does it have anything at all to do with serving coffee? No. Yet, it's now something sought after among new baristas, who generally earn a hair more than minimum wage. [1] Why? Because there enough people who have a degree that be willing to do this job at these wages to make it a requirement.

The consequence of 'get [anybody with a pulse] into coding' is to help increase the supply of people with some coding ability. Out of curiosity I just searched for 'QA job listing' and found stuff like this [2]. A 'senior QA engineer' requires, among other things, a masters in computer science alongside a willingness for unanticipated travel/relocation for "long and short term assignments at client sites." Starting salary? $73k. That's probably an H-1B angle-shoot (H-1B employment requires not displacing American workers, and if nobody applies you're obviously not displacing anybody!) but even then they still have to be able to argue that their request was not entirely unreasonable.
