Microservices
When people are worried about changes in "many layers of the stack", it's usually a good time to re-architect the system and build microservices. Basically, you get the entire stack in every microservice and you stop worrying about ripple effects; you upgrade or troubleshoot things at a much smaller scale.
I highly recommend this book:
https://www.amazon.com/Buildin...It explains how to achieve this, including how to deal with the tough parts like the database layer.

Re:and that would be a bad thing... because?
Right. Fascism/Hitler. It's always Fascism or Hitler with you isn't it? Why is that?
You keep hearing that from me because it accurately describes the economic ideas that you (and, in general, American and European progressives) advocate.
Do you ever find that when you're typing in the word Hitler or Fascism something doesn't go off in you head that says " I've used these words a little bit too much lately, maybe I should change it up a bit"?
Actually, something goes off in my head that says "I have had to use these words a little bit too much lately; how is it possible that these failed ideologies are making such a comeback in 21st century America and Europe?"
If you are genuinely interested in the economics Google it.
I don't need to "Google it" because I actually read plenty of books on it. You should try reading actual books and following arguments and analyses that are longer than a web page and written by people with a bit more understanding than a Slate reporter or a Wikipedia editor.

Re: Well that makes sense
It was designed by a fucking moron in 10 days.
So the "moron" designer was given 10 days to come up with a language that met marketing requirements, and he delivered, and beat Java (applets) at its own game. Not only that, he slipped in some advanced programming features that still makes the language relevant today. From your link:
"Although the schedule and constraints might have been impossible for most programmers, Eich had a long history of building new programming languages, starting from his experience as a student at the University of Illinois, where he built languages just to experiment in syntax. At Silicon Graphics, he created languages that could be used to build extensions for network monitoring tools.
Clearly, building "yet another" language wasn't the hard part for Eich--the hard part was producing a rich and powerful language while being prohibited from using the object-oriented syntax reserved for Java. He wanted to embed advanced features in JavaScript without using language syntax so the language would initially appear simple and lightweight, yet sophisticated programmers would be able to exploit its underlying power.
Like many other languages, Java-Script took its basic syntax from the C language, including curly braces, semicolons, and reserved words. It was to be a light, friendly version of C with simpler semantics and better dynamic memory characteristics. Because a typical webpage's lifetime lasted from a few seconds to a few minutes, JavaScript could take a very simplified approach to concurrency and memory management.Eich built a simplified object model that combined structs from the C language, patterns from SmallTalk, and the symmetry between data and code offered by LISP. The Hypercard event model inspired the pattern for adding events to the HTML document. Object-oriented patterns were possible but via runtime semantics with prototypes (as in Self) instead of compiler-supported class syntax (as in Java and C++."

Re: Well that makes sense
> All languages suck in various ways.
Except JavaShit is brain dead.
Any JS programmer worth their salt uses the triple equality test, ===, because JavaShit fucked up the normal equality comparison test, ==, due to unwanted type conversions -- one ends up with this retarded operator comparison table.
if( 0 == "0" ) console.log( "equal" );
if( 1 == "1" ) console.log( "equal" )
console.log( false == "0" );
console.log( "0" == false );
console.log( true == "1" );
console.log( "1" == true );Which produces this output:
"equal"
"equal"
true
true
true
true**FACEPALM**
This forces one to do string concatenation with a dummy empty string prefix: var text = '' + x;
Lastly, any language that ENFORCES the K&R Brace Style for "return", because it will silently fail otherwise, is broken by design.
return
{
ok: false

Re:of course
Do you remember how women were normally treated before the feminist movement? I'm not interested in returning to the 1950s-type racism and sexism.
I'm not suggesting we go back to the 1950s, but I am suggesting things the benefits of the feminist movement have been unequally distributed. On average women have lower reported happiness now than 50 years ago. Only wealthy women can afford to get married and stay at home with kids today if they so choose. Evil arch-conservative reactionary Nazi Elizabeth Warren wrote a book called "The Two Income Trap" about it. My upper middle class wife stays home with our darling children, and when I walk through the rows and rows of cubes in Billing and Accounts Receivable on the way to my tech job office I see all the lower middle class women (the majority of whom are black) chained to their desks, getting yelled at by insurance companies for 8 hours a day and I think "gee, feminism, fantastic job freeing these women from, ugh, loving homes and children and chaining them to the corporate machine instead. Progress!!" I don't think those women are there by choice, pursuing their dream of a rewarding career in call center work.
Thankfully as a heterosexual white Christian male upper middle class engineer the progressives will never set their eyes on "liberating" me.

Re:Go, Poker, Chess, Jeopardy...
So, what you're saying is that Trump isn't Hitler any more? How'd this happen? Were you even around during the travel ban? What about right after the election, when ecstatic Trump supporters beat up Muslims and spraypainted swastikas everywhere? "Make America White Again", they said.
Just look at these images - come on, moving up from Hitler to easily replaced by an AI is a gargantuan upgrade. What's next, "I don't agree with him but he's not that bad"?
The most historical figure most commonly referred to as an analogue to Donald Trump is Adolf Hitler. Instead of dismissing the parallels, isn't it time that we confront them, and consider them seriously?

Perhaps you should find more constructive forms of discipline. I keep several math workbooks in my home office, and every time my kids come in to ask me a question I make them do a few pages.

Re:Denver to Vail: DO NOT WANT
If you talk to Vail locals who knew the original founders (there's plenty still around), they will tell you that Vail's site was chosen in part because it's on the opposite side of Vail Pass from Denver, thus making it hard for large numbers of people to get in after a big snow dump. I don't think Vail would want this tunnel thing.
Have you read the book The Inventors of Vail?
As I recall, Vail was basically born to be a resort that was between Aspen and Winter Park on US hwy 6 (now I-70). They were banking on the fact that I-70 would take the US-6 path rather than the US-40 path (this I-70 decision was made in 1960 before Vail got off the ground in the mid '60's even though I-70 didn't start construction for another decade).
FWIW, the California Zephyr train takes a track that goes from Denver to Winterpark ski area, and then to Granby and Glenwood Springs. The tracks don't currently go near Vail (which is sorta between Granby and Glenwood Springs) because Vail is in a deep valley surrounded by mountains, so the train goes around following the less treacherous US40 route (north through winterpark, granby and kremmling).

Re: Participation Trophy
My idea of the function of government is to provide those services that it makes sense to provide on a collective basis to the taxpayers who fund the government to provide them, not to "transfer wealth." As I understand the political use of the term "transfer of wealth," it isn't used to describe the normal activity of paying taxes to the government so that the government can use the accumulated funds to provide services that benefit the taxpayers. The phrase "transfer of wealth" refers to the practice of taking wealth away from those who have "too much" and giving it to those who have "too little," with a lot of argument/discussion about where the lines for "too much" and "too little" should be drawn. And a little bit of pain because those who have really "too much" are usually capable of gaming the system to avoid paying, leaving those who just have more than "too little" to foot the bill.
In the US, "we the people" created our federal government "in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity." We can know that, because the folks who did it took the time to write it down. Other countries have different origin stories, but that is ours. To understand the contemporary meanings of those terms, it's necessary to study the ideological origins of the United States. A book that might guide one is this one https://www.amazon.com/Ideological-Origins-American-Revolution/dp/0674443020. Wealth transfer isn't in there.

Re:But but but!
I definitely am a fan of the idea of doing space exploration in a systematic way. We should build a space station that includes a fuel depot, and use it as the hub of space operations.
I am loathe to just destroy the ISS. It was expensive to get it up there and it should be affordable to keep it going. How hard is it really to just boost it into a higher orbit? If we want to save money we might want to stop having people on board for a while... just turn off the life support and other things, but do keep boosting its orbit to keep it where it is.
We will have a real game-changer once we have a "space pickup truck", a launch vehicle that can take a relatively small amount of cargo to orbit, but can do it affordably and frequently. The biggest problem with the Space Shuttle (aside from the fact that it was only 99% safe) was that it took man-decades of labor after each flight to service an orbiter for the next flight.
SpaceX is really working on the "space pickup truck" idea. Recovering the first-stage booster to be refueled and re-used is part of making launch more affordable.
Additionally I would love to see a mass driver or other sort of "cannon" to fire inert payloads (oxygen, water, fuel, dried food, sturdy electronics) to orbit. I've read about this. The biggest problem is that anything you fire from Earth will return to Earth unless its trajectory can be altered; the two obvious ways to do that are to put jets on the cargo capsules so they can adjust their own trajectory, or to have some sort of cargo capture system (a net? a drone with grabber arms?). I favor the latter because I want the cargo capsules to be as simple and cheap as possible.
Once we have an affordable way to get fuel into orbit, all sorts of things become possible. Make a rugged and simple craft that can shuttle back-and-forth between Earth and the Moon, and Moon visits become dramatically simpler and cheaper. Re-boosting the ISS, re-boosting satellites, launching space probes, all of it becomes much simpler and cheaper. Once you are in orbit you are halfway to anywhere in the solar system.

Re:So they just reinvented the docking station?You, sir, have absolutely mastered the art of debate.
I thought we were debating the validity of this patent; were we not? What, exactly, do you think goes on in court, when the validity of a patent is being tried? More or less, they're arguing over the interpretation of individual phrases.
If you don't want to do that, you must not have a very strong belief in the validity of this patent. You, quite simply, have no argument, so you turn to personal attacks, as always.
Unlike you, I actually read the patent, in its entirety and understood it. As a result, I was able to point out claims which, with respect to the Atrix and Lapdock, are novel; there are 5 of them, a list which does not include the two you chose to discuss. However, while none of the claims appear in the Atrix/Lapdock, they do all appear in similar products. None of them are novel.
Backing up to your previous post for a moment...This patent is for a phone placed where a touchscreen would be in a laptop, so that it can be used for both touch and display.
The bit about touch being used to control the accessory is claim 24; claim 5 merely mentions that the host device (that is, the phone) has touch capabilities. The bit about the phone being used as a display is claim 7, wherein the host device (phone) displays host (phone) content. That claim says nothing of where the phone is positioned, nor that the phone's screen must be visible at all times during use; it only stipulates that the phoen display shows, well, phone stuff. Which the Atrix continued to do while placed in the dock. Claim 4, which you cited, only mentions a screen on the dock itself. The patent, likewise, says nothing about where the device should be docked, but more on that later.
I get what you're arguing, based off the bit I quoted here, but neither claim you referenced supports that argument; and neither are novel.
Hell, one of their drawings (fig 4) is of a freakin' iPad keyboard case, which they're also claiming is novel because it has a trackpad (not the iPhone, but an actual trackpad in the case) which, well... I guess would be novel for an iPad, but that very configuration has existed in the Android world for some time. Here is just one example, you can google "Android keyboard trackpad case", without quotes, for more. Yes, the iPhone dock drawings show the phone docked in the trackpad location; however, that is not a claim in the patent, it is merely one representation of the claims as a whole. Remember how I said I'd get back to that? Here we are:
Were there a claim as to the host device docking location, or were it stipulated anywhere else in the patent, the iPad drawing could not have been included, as it does not fit that stipulation.
Of course, such positioning is obvious for the iPhone; and changing positions is obvious for the iPad (and with just shy of 7 years and thousands of examples of prior art, it should be clear just how obvious). As such, if it were detailed in the patent, the patent would likely be invalidated by that inclusion. Of course, that's not to say that the patent is valid in the first place.
From the detailed description:[0019] In one embodiment, the accessory device can have a form factor of a laptop computer having a display and a keyboard as well as other output/input devices known to be available with a laptop computer. The accessory device, however, does not have the processing resources (such as a CPU) generally associated with a conventional laptop computer. In this regard, the host device can provide the necessary computing resources, but it is the accessory device that provides additional functionality, such as a large display, enhanced audio capabilities, and further input means. These can include, for example, a mouse, track pad, keyboard, and the like.
That's the Atr
