Let's Encrypt implements a protocol, or, if you prefer, an API called ACME, which is being standardized at IETF. This allows you to make software-based requests for certificates. You can implement an ACME client or adapt an existing one to make requests for certificates on behalf of your customers.

See

https://letsencrypt.org/docs/integration-guide/

There are a lot of clients, several dozen of them already. There isn't necessarily a client that's specifically oriented toward provider integration, but one of the lightweight clients like acme.sh might be a good fit because it will work well with external scripting.
Those studies are starting to be shown as wrong.

What is LCs ? and can you expand ?

But also, my point is: if you put someone as skilled as Jobs, but without the track record, could he say no to investors wanting growth ? Could he give up such a huge opportunity as wireless ear buds ?

And even if, could he create amazing new features/products out of thin air ? on his own ? when the whole world have learned how be great at design ? IDK.
How to fix missing apps after installing Windows 10 Fall Creators Update
That's what OP is saying though. That there is no reason we couldn't have both waterproofness and a headphone jack. Legions of android phones are, of course, examples of this.
I'm just reporting what they claim.

It's interesting, though, that the fix to that problem had been developed by Google months before and submitted to Webkit; Apple has just not merged it into Safari yet.

I don't know, if I were an Apple investor (I'm not) I might be kind of pissed that supposed supply chain geniuses missed out on billions in potential sales because of entirely foreseeable and avoidable difficulties. Are regular employees whose screw ups cost their employer massive sums given a second chance? Why do we hold executives to a lower standard of performance than those below them?
Leaving the text the way it is?

I try to keep a fairly small number of sub folders that are well named. I keep a file that lists what each folder is for. I also like to keep a TODO.txt that I append to the top with a date an what needs to be done next.

I write a few tests and some good comments on code that I feel is likely to change. There is always the tendency to not write either of these, but I think it is important if you want to iterate fast.

$7.5k gross, $5.6k net after all taxes. Subcontracting platforms take a huge cut, so the client is paying around $13k to the platform.

I'm sorry, maybe I'm missing something but what you're saying is not making any sense to me. Furthermore it gives me the impression you completely misunderstand the biological science behind this project.

I thought you meant figure out the number of different types of cells, but you're actually saying counting the numbers of cells of each type?

You're putting the cart before the horse, since we haven identified each cell type yet. That's what this project is doing!

What does counting cells in tissues even mean here? Which cells? If you can't even tell the cell types apart, what exactly would you be counting? Do you think we already know every kind of cell type and what does? Because we don't.

And even ignoring that: say that we figure out the liver has N hundred million cells. On average, because tissue size wildly varies per person. But hey, sure, from a Pure Science perspective we could figure that out. What does that information then tell us? Is it information in any way meaningful?

How does counting the number of cells give us a better understanding of what that tissue does? Would you suggest we try to make sense of how countries are organised and what kind of culture they contain by grouping them by population size? Apparently Ghana and Nepal are identical according to this logic, as are Cameroon and Taiwan, and Niger and Sri Lanka[0].

By comparison, determining cell types via gene expression is like measuring education levels and which percentage of the population is in which profession. I don't know about you, but when it comes to making sense of how the body works, my money is on that.

Good points there. The autopilot thing - I don't see it like that at all. You can be doing a repetitive task and thinking at the same time. It can help you focus and relax. Also when you finish the menial task, you get a little smug satisfaction. "I've earned that beer". Autopilot for me is sitting on the couch asking your electronic friend if the fridge has cleaned itself yet.

Many favorite hobbies are repetitive and in theory could be outsourced. Some people enjoy knitting, raking the yard, organizing their record collection, finding Waldo etc..

Hey, it's all down to personal preference and where you get your kicks. I won't labour the point as I've gone on too much. Just putting forward another perspective.

In this short example you compile, the compiler

reported. You don't extrapolate on the variations
possible in another dialect.

You don't optimize early, you don't overthink.
You can then add platform convention, indentation and other

Nice to see that other people besides me like having their news presented this way. I will be launching my own iGoogle clone in the next couple of months.

You wouldn't know from the article, because the author of the article doesn't cite any studies and just sort of takes Neil Postman's word for it.
With respect to quality, some software is so fundamental and widely used that flaws are noticed immediately and fixed. Examples include microcode, firmware, operating system kernels, compilers, and embedded databases such as SQLite. Flaws in low-level software are generally much more destructive to value than flaws in high-level application software.

Apple can't be king of the mountain forever.

IMHO, the thing that folks are not seeing here is that there's value in "making stuff" in having actual FABS, factories and manufacturing. Apple and other "fab-less" companies have been training their competition for decades now. There will someday be a comeuppance.

Samsung could, at some point in the future, decide to "fire" or at least throttle-down Apple as a customer at the worst possible time. What would you expect if you come to depend on your competitor as a key supplier?

Don't quit just because it gets hard.

But don't persist if it isn't worth it. Which decision should be made independently of personal discomfort.

(Also, in general don't take life advice from 20 something Internet marketers. Why do you clog up the interwebs people? Please quit! Not because it's hard but because volume of SEO junk to sell some coaching books is simply not needed by humanity. Lets improve the quality of the net with original ideas rather than rehashing again and again. Do something worth doing or do not do at all.)
>> X friends + Y followed pages x Z average posts per day.

Not sure how it works for you, but facebook feed dropped in quality about 9mo ago for me -- Without any change from my side, I usually only see "Close Friends" posts plus significant posts (high likes, live events) from all friends. I also see lots of repeats of posts I already saw earlier in the day or previous days.

At first I thought, perhaps my friends have blocked me, but no -- I can see their posts if I search for them. Then I thought, perhaps you have to be mutual "Close" but even that was a no -- because I actually verified with others.

All I can guess is i'm on the wrong side of some A/B test where you see the same old stuff and keep coming back hoping to see more. Except in my case, i've just stopped using it...not enough to look at on the "infinite" scroll.

So for me it is more like X friends (* 0.05) + Y followed pages x Z average posts per day. I wish i could reset it somehow back to 2015 functionality.

Poor choice of name, as the term "bastion" is already commonly used in AWS to describe a bastion host for a VPC.
There's more choice online but you have to pay shipping for everything. Quantities available, prices and discoverability are less attractive in the marketplaces but you can potentially save time and there are certain stores where you can get what amounts to nontrivial free in person implementation or product selection consulting. In general we buy online because we source so many things, but if you are starting out in electronics or just need some standard parts for cheap then the markets are pretty cool.

There's a difference between wanting to do that, and feeling unable to do anything else. If you _want_ to go home and veg for an evening that's OK, but if you can't do anything else, that's probably not OK.
What of having a pure ANSI C implementation of pack and unpack available?

I, too, am concerned with future data loss due to codec extinction. A solution seems like it’d take the shape of an archive of the codecs in a simple, pure C subset with an actively maintained compiler. Unused code should be refactored out of mainstream tools
I've been waiting on this since July, when we implemented Apple Pay at edX. They missed the advertised September deadline. Despite signing up for the mailing list, I have yet to be notified about the functionality. Now that I'm seeing all the press about it, there still seems to be no way to register as a merchant. This is quite disappointing.

To take London, a very exceptional case IMO, and present it as an example of European transport is not very meaningful. England is really much more like America in this regard, you even have American style suburbs. It is not really a counter example to say that London hasn't got a reliable subway line. And I think that it is perhaps a little arrogant to think that London in any way represents Europe. Most european cities have a series of subway lines which cross in the center. The center is therefore easily reachable by all. However, the outskirts are not, due to the need to change trains. My suggestion of putting terminals in city centers, rather than in the airport at the outskirts of the city, is therefore reasonable within the context of Europe. London being an exception, due to your professed lack of functional public transport, is a pity, but it is not a counter argument.
I expect it's either a scatological reference or something to do with an eager dating partner who is unrequited.
>That's what happens when we abandon protocols (RSS feeds)

Yes, in general terms, there's always an abstract discussion about RSS vs Facebook,Twitter,Google AMP, etc.

However, your particular comment is not relevant to this particular blog post. The RSS protocol is "free" but that doesn't matter if it does not address the targets that Facebook does.

(Besides that, the journalist writes for DennikN and they didn't "abandon" the RSS feed. It's at:
https://dennikn.sk/rss-odber/)

We can't just reflexively reply with "RSS" every time the trigger word "Facebook" comes up. It needs to be relevant. RSS is not applicable to what the journalist is talking about. RSS is not relevant to the perspective of the publisher for metrics of "audience reach". RSS feed is a convenience tool for the reader and the blog post isn't about that perspective.
I think the reasons the new phones aren't selling is that:

- Anyone who already has a 6S or later can save money by not buying a new phone. Before this year, the way phone contracts worked is that you were paying for a new phone whether you bought one or not, so it would never make sense not to buy one.

- No B71 or 4x4 MIMO support, meaning that next year's phones are going to be the ones you actually want, whereas these phones don't really offer any advantages over the 6S.

So unless you dropped your phone or something anyway, I don't really see any compelling reason to upgrade.
Guitar Overdrive Pedal Shootout: Electro-Harmonix East River Drive Review
George Hotz (“Geohot”) says Tesla Autopilot = Apple iOS, Comma.ai = Android
Jobs wasn't infallible, but the fact is even if the Hockey Puck mouse was a weird design, it also worked, which is something that Apple has struggled recently to manage with their entire product line.

Jobs also was actively against having multiple phones, specifically because of the confusion it causes in the customer. Apple now sells the SE, the 6s, the 6s Plus, the 7, the 7 Plus, the 8, the 8 Plus, and the X will be available soon. Jobs would've never allowed that, the SE would probably stay because it's a different size, but then it would be the 8, and the X and that's it.

Software quality especially, iCloud especially especially, has become abysmal. We're up to 11.0.3 now for patch releases, 3 patch releases after a major OS update is unheard of for Apple.

And all of those issues isn't even getting into the Mac line which has been brutalized under Cook.

I don't hate Cook, he's a fantastic businessman, but he has no vision whatsoever.

Personally I'm extremely happy with the vim plugin in Jetbrains IDEs like IDEA, Rider and so on. It gives me the best of both worlds. I can use vim commands for effective navigation but also have the great static code analysis, smart auto completion, project navigation (find symbol, class, file, ...) etc. of the IDE.
Depends. I had been waiting for the X but it so annoyed me that I went with the 8 instead. I realize that the cannibalization is the narrative and it’s likely more true than not but I can’t be the only one who went 8
It’s still just a few keystrokes.. 10dd 5j p. Take 10 lines, move down 5 lines, paste those 10 lines. With relative line numbers in the gutter there’s no counting involved either. The whole thing is faster than even just reaching for the mouse.

Async testing Koa with Jest
I don't understand why people have a problem with hard-coding features. The argument is that it creates more work later. But this is a fallacy as the work "later" is not guaranteed to be necessary or requested. The idea that all software has to be abstracted, configurable, and future-proof to be "good" is just wrong. We hard code features all the time on my project. The earth keeps on spinning, the company makes money, and the code is usually removable with a single 'git revert' when the time comes to clean up. That time may never come, which is fine. That is the natural way. Nature has yet to do 'git revert male nipples' or 'git revert human appendix'. Both are dirty hacks left in by mother nature.

Flash is dead?
The real reason Adobe will move on from Flash, though, is the other big knock against it: obsolescence. But still on internet things roll on by big players like http://www.miniclip.com, http://www.kongregate.com, https://www.friv.cm or http://www.y8.com and so many others with millions of game players use Flash. Why it's still not dead after-all? Why unity3d or html5 are not as popular as Flash?
Huh?

Chengdu doesn't have a fab and is hardly in the middle of nowhere. Normal logistic costs.

Dalian is in a highly industrialized liaoning province, again highly populated and lots of resources. Again, normal logistic costs.

If they put it in the middle of gansu or qinghai or maybe Northern Yunnan or southern Sichuan (pretty much the Tibetan plateau), that would be the middle of nowhere.
How to build macOS architecture software?
I am a product designer and sr. iOS engineer. I am also an Architect. I am wondering what y'all think the best approach would be to build a BIM app for mac? Think Sketch/Framer/Xcode but for architectural design. I am willing/excited to learn another language so not limited to iOS SDK. But putting whatever in a macOS app would be no problem.

The application would need 3d modeling, image rendering(willing to sacrifice quality here to begin with) and precise drawing capabilities. What do you think the best approach would be?

I'm sure if you're young, pretty, and can hold forth effusively on the framework du jour, you "magically" get invites to host webinars all the time. But when you're old and jaded like me and have seen fads come and go -- history spitting rhymes like Eminem -- you can't muster that oh-so-marketable enthusiasm for what's hot this month, and as a freelancer you may find yourself struggling for scraps. In that context, the corporate nine-to-five starts not looking so bad. Especially if you have other mouths to feed.
