The breakdown products of Teflon are also toxic to the prostate, as I found out personally once by eating lots of eggs scrambled in a Teflon skillet. I avoid it now.
This is the reasoning that made Windows so crappy for so many years.
Perl would be my bet.

With something like RethinkDB though, you're relying on it in production.

With a compatibility layer or a game, you're just toying around, trying to make it run something. If it works - awesome, if it doesn't, you're not losing money over it.

I think there's a substantial difference here.
Every other laptop I've ever had, the power connector was at the back so you could avoid hitting it with your leg. With the MBP, its on the side and it's small enough that my lap is wider than the laptop, so my leg pushes on the power connector.

Magsafe might be better than breaking a connector, but those aren't the only choices that exist. There is a far better solution, and it's really odd that Apple hasn't figured it out.
Question - you peaked my interest in the Cooperative. What is your goal going out of the Cooperative with an MS?
How does Chrome or Firefox running on iOS, using WKWebView for its backend rather than their own rendering engines, in any way turn the iPhone into a "bare platform"? How would users even know or care that these 3rd party browsers are not using their own rendering engine?
I'd be curious to see an itemized list of such costs and compare the total to the opportunity cost of waiting another 2 months for the ultra-perfect candidate.
one thing I'd love to see from you guys is a User Interface where I can physically move around my tasks. The trello integration is great, but I feel like you guys could do a better job with the task automation component
>to give their independent legal advice to the president.

In private, and when he tells you that you're to carry out his wishes- since you're serving at his pleasure, then you go and do your job or you resign.

If you picked a public fight with your boss in the middle of the scrum and then refused to do what he wanted when you were overruled- how long would you last?

Also- let's not forget that Office of Legal Council had already said that it's perfectly Constitutional and legal.
San Francisco, Full-Time Sales Director for Ad-Tech Startup
Ah well. I was probably going to qualify anyway, but it will take a number of months and you'll have filled your position by then.
> This doesn't require the $99 it used to either, anyone can do it, though it does require you to get a free signed developer certificate from Apple which signs the app (you'll also need to tell your device to trust your cert).

There's a limit of 3 installs per device, though. And you'll have to re-sign the app every 7 days if you choose to go down this path.

> You can even distribute an IPA file and install it via iTunes and not the App Store, but it needs to be signed by a trusted authority (your company; your dev cert; or most likely Apple, as long as it is a non-revoked cert).

Doesn't this specifically require an Enterprise Developer account?
If it works for what they need it for and, comparatively, has better reviews, then how is that a waste of money?
Are emergency services also a "privilege"? Do you think our right to free assembly means we get to block ambulances and fire fighters from passing?
> I once swallowed some strips of teflon tape (settling an argument with a friend...) and they were bright white and intact (sharp edges where cut were still sharp) on the way out.

Oh god, thank goodness it didn't cut up your insides on the way out.

Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.
Why not? Given the number of people paranoid about teflon, I'd expect someone would have demonstrated the danger at lower temperatures by now if it exists.
Backup is elementary. It should not need to be learned nor manifest itself as a hindsight revelation. Frankly GitLab seems more and more like a mom and pop shop that learned Rails over a weekend. They did not even know if they had functioning backups before shit hit the fan.

Ask HN: Instagram oauth login broken from within their app webview?
Hi,
I am working on a product where I need to let a user to signup/login via instagram (thus verify account ownership). All is working fine in the webapp in safari/chrome, but when signup link is opened directly from instagram app, it opens the link in a webview and for some reason that webview is not able to open https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/ URL on iOS 10 (and latest app version). Works fine on android though, but iOS users are the main target group.

Does anybody else have this problem and knows a workaround? or a way to 'escape' the webview and open link in safari?
> no gain to the people

They're not giving it away for free as I understand it. When the government takes money, the people get better stuff, according to at least one political party. However the current cheap lease rates are doing no good to the taxpayer: http://people.oregonstate.edu/~muirp/wpubland.htm

> you can find that some of these pushes to transfer public land are driven by campaign donations

So? See my previous comments -- some of this land is very profitable, and some of the land is great for recreational purposes. Why not try to find land where these least intersect and drive land designations in that way?
Outbound Sales for Beginners: The Sales Process
The reason that Windows sucks are often linked to it's long backwards compatibility. Remember when the first Surface came out and they couldn't sell an entry level version with 16 gigs storage because the OS took 13 gigs?
How much breakdown would really occur? If the whole point of Teflon is not to stick or react at all, I would expect that if you eat a brick of Teflon, you crap a brick of Teflon.
Closed-source "patent-pending" cryptography technology and absolutely no contact info other than an e-mail? Sounds like the kind of place where I would input my most secure data.
Thank you for asking this question I was too afraid to ask. And daemonk - thank you for answering without snark. I love this place!

> The amount of tobacco and nicotine and tar is the same. The amount delivered isn't as appreciably different as a smoker might like.

If light cigarettes have any amount less tar, then that's still an improvement.

Anecdotally, I smoked for 8 years and used ultra light cigarettes (1-3mg) as a tool to cut down and eventually quit.
> But others perhaps care. So I strongly encourage you to open-source it if you don't care about it anymore.

This is false thinking in my mind. Others may care, but that does not mean they have the right to guilt someone into releasing the source for _their creation_.

On a grander scale - nothing lasts forever. Not even stars. So, we don't need to preserve everything - this is very egoic mind to me. It is ok to let things die and be forgotten. Software, art, ideas, songs, poems included.

If the creator of these things decides to not release it to the world, that is _their_ prerogative.
Kentik | San Francisco | Full Time | REMOTE, VISA considered

https://www.kentik.com/careers/

Interested in building a distributed column-store time series database? Crafting a sleek, intuitive front-end? Evangelizing a breakthrough approach to network intelligence? This is your opportunity to get involved in a dynamic, rapidly growing San Francisco-based startup.
Kentik Technologies is the creator of Kentik Detect, a big data SaaS for network traffic visibility, DDoS detection, and infrastructure optimization. Accessible via web portal, psql client, and API, Kentik Detect is the network visibility solution that our founders — former network operators from Akamai, Netflix, YouTube, and CloudFlare — always wanted but could never find. It lets network operators see complete traffic paths, find root causes for link congestion, reduce costs by peering with other networks, and know immediately when their networks are under DDoS attack.

In our first 18 months on the market we've landed 100+ customers including: Shopify, Pandora, DailyMotion, Yelp, Box, Neustar, Instart Logic, Cisco, Appnexus, and University of Washington plus top carriers, telcos, and hosting providers.

On the backend we're looking for folks with real-world experience building distributed systems in Go/C/C++. On the frontend we need experts at both client- and server-side JavaScript, with broad experience in monitoring, visualization, and building state-of-the-art Web applications. And in sales we need proven performers with a track record in highly technical markets (network-related preferred).

Sound like a good fit? Check us out at https://www.kentik.com/careers/, and contact us at hr@kentik.com.
Well, that is true.

My caveat is that currently @supports is far more heavily supported than grid layout which is not fully available in any current browser. As usual, only IE is the major holdout for @supports and most likely we'll be doing special things for IE until it totally dies out anyway.

Sure, the approach is different. But the "large company allows a couple of devs to work on a faster Python impl for a while until they realize it's harder than expected" story seems very similar.

ESports: The missed billion-dollar opportunity for publishers and platforms
Sounds a bit like what John Sculley did to Steve Jobs.
It's a bit unusual for an organization with thousands of sites, spread across an entire country. I haven't checked, but it probably has a huge IPv4 allocation too.

I'd expect something more like the university networks.
There's also the fact that people accepting contract positions are at a significant disadvantage regarding banks if they want to get a loan to buy a house. It's considered lower status to not be a seishain.

But, on the other hand, when it comes to Software Engineering, salaries for contract positions tend to be higher and, in my experience, being a seishain or being a contract worker has no bearing on the competence of the person.
Behind the Scam: What Does It Take to Be ‘Best-Selling Author’? $3 and 5 Minutes
Completely agree. I honestly believe reading the shareholders letters is one of the best "life lessons" readings I have come across. One of the reasons for this is that it's written consistently across the span of one (intelligent) person's life, spanning decades of changes and challenge. WB is transparent about making predictions, and likewise reflective when they don't turn out. He's extremely gracious to everyone around him (constantly calling out great attributes about business partners, colleagues, and even competitors). He's got this consistently optimistic tone about him which is hard to ignore - what could be brittle-dry business writing, instead is full of cheeky humor, anecdotes, advice, etc.

In contrast, when I read [auto]biographies of notable people today, we are ONLY seeing the life from a snapshot in time - n accumulation of their life, from deliberately chosen points of view - and we never get to see that relatable part of "what was this person thinking when they were 35 years old, stuck in a panicked business climate".

I also think its fascinating to see people's decision-making processes and attitudes change over time. For example, anyone who has read WB's shareholder letters see his attitude change from "buy cigar butts, and sell those" (basically, find OK assets which are undervalued) to "pay a premium for great things, and hold them forever". WB even reflects on this attitude change at times - some of his earlier purchases (like the actual textile mill) was an attempt to identify decent businesses in a bad spot, buy them on the cheap, and turn them around. Later, he basically said - that was just a bad idea, and it's buying trouble for years. Instead, pay a premium for a company which is solid, run by solid people... and let that naturally appreciate in value, and get out of its way.

WB mentions Dale Carnegie frequently - I do think reading both "How to Make Friends & Influence People" and Berkshire's Letters to Shareholders could basically be a business course itself - how to do business honorably, ethically, and respectfully. Lots of lessons to be learned there.
Free Advanced JavaScript Courses
If you have a 32-bit app that you are not willing to strap into 64-bit, then the medium in which it can be used on with stay in the past. So if I don't update my iPhone, I can continue to use your app and will have to begin finding ways to preserve your app for myself and people like me who enjoy it.
Yes, we take region/country into consideration, but ultimately performance can negate that.

If you know the setting on the stovetop that holds the pan at the temp you want to cook at, you probably won't burn the seasoning by putting the burner modestly higher than that.
Hunting is one use. Managed properly, it has its place, as others have discussed. But this land is also used by campers, hikers, birders, amateur astronomers, scientists doing research, and others.
> OK, so what else do you suggest?

Slopes, a.k.a. the parameters in a regression analysis, ideally as a confidence interval or prediction interval to account for uncertainty. Interpreting and communicating regression analyses is a pretty big topic on its own so I chose to only hint at it, though I understand that might not be very satisfying for some readers.
The technical issue is that WKWebView does not honor any custom classes registered with NSURLProtocol (`NSURLProtocol registerClass:`) like UIWebView does, so you don't get to intercept/change/deny every request (not just top-level requests) that the browser makes.

> There is also one sure-fire way to increase telomere length : get cancer.

This badly needs a source.

This article from 2013 [1] says the opposite, that shorter telomeres are associated with cancer:

In recent years, shorter telomeres have become associated with a broad range of aging-related diseases, including many forms of cancer, stroke, vascular dementia, cardiovascular disease, obesity, osteoporosis and diabetes.

And another [2]:

"Telomere shortening is common in cancer, but the degree of shortening varies from one cancer cell to another within each patient, and this variability may give us a better idea of how prostate cancers behave."
