Nothing to do with each other, in the way that internet protocols would have nothing to do with how we purchase goods. Crypto creates a validated economy in a VR/AR world. Digital goods have a certain tangibility with crypto inside of a VR/AR environment, that creates true ownership.

SPAs arent meant for solving the issue of offline apps and building games in web browsers. Their target was to address the difficulty of building, maintaining, extending an ever changing UI in a corporate development environment.

Having worked on a ui in this setting, built with erb, jquery, and pjax... It is not about the degree of difficulty building it, but extending/modifying it, and collaborating with multiple crews in the same codebase. These are problems enough teams have experienced that they have moved away from the approach of jquery+handlebars.

Now granted, SPAs have a bandwagon effect because of where the job opportunities are, so you get people using them not to solve those problems, but to align their technical skills with employable skills.

That site says 23andme stopped providing health information, but they clearly still offer the service. Are they not able to use the results from 23andme if it is recent?

Also, what led you to your curiosity of MTHFR? Are there other services you use to “hack your health”?

As a frontend developer it has been quite easy since the industry leaders are all very active on Twitter. My rule of thumb is to unfollow people who tweet out of context to why I follow them.

Something I recently stumbled upon through a coding challenge was https://webtask.io/

Having used ApiGateway + AWSLambda + AWSCloudwatch, I found Webtask to be infinitey easier to use and deploy. The only downside of Webtask, for some users, is that it is all Javascript, where AWSLambda allows multiple languages.

But you CAN get rid of React and not have to rewrite your whole app. Redux, for example, isn't coupled with React at all. React-Redux gives you the tools you need to tie the two together, but you could easily take your Redux code (reducers, actions creators, selectors) with you to a new framework like Angular 2.

It sounds like you are just trying to justify your decision for Node. I use Node and Rails in production for different products/services. They both serve different purposes well.

"Going away" was said about .NET and PHP and they don't seem to be going anywhere, albeit they are less popular than they use to be.

Too many discussions on HN have this paranoia lurking around of whether or not "I chose the right path". I find it unhealthy, and find that the longer life of a product exposes the weaknesses of any language/framework.

Aws/Gcloud bring DevOps and Developers closer together. We are able to work together with a better understanding of the tools being shared. Now I am able to set things up in the Development ENV, and DEVOPS can create a process to manage and automate the transition to Production. Sure I could write the scripts and tools, and it makes DEVOP roles more attainable, but it doesn't diminish the role by any means.

There is such a unique opportunity Twitter has attempted but not fully captured with Moments. When big events happen, people take to Twitter. With an aggregate of Periscope, Vine, and Twitter, we could have interactive LIVE events. Tune in on your phone, and don't just join the conversation, be part of the event. Unfortunately, Moments feels too static. They hand pick some decent tweets and there you go... Give me the car chase feeling of the 1990s! Where is a white bronco when you need one...

Screw the Facebook copycat. I want a quick filter by my lists. Right now I only follow other deveopers, and have narrowed my usage of Twitter for that one use case. When I start following more than one "circle", the feed is overwhelming and I end up never looking at it.

I could even see a Moments section that is fed off people you follow.
