This is like building a custom swagger implementation

"The vaccines provide nearly perfect protection against serious outcomes."

I am vaccinated, however, my young child is not. If I get a breakthrough case, I don't want to spread it to my kid. I know this is anecdotal, but... my wife's office just closed because of a breakthrough case, and another friend was recently exposed to someone with a breakthrough case.

Can you expand on that? How do you get out of paying taxes?

I know it would be nice to have it built in to GitHub, but you can try this as well: http://first-commit.com/ (and comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10610065)

gregory144 | 10 years ago | on: The secret message hidden in every HTTP/2 connection

I named my hobby HTTP2 server after that string in the connection header:

https://github.com/gregory144/prism-web-server

(obviously haven't had much time to work on it lately).

gregory144 | 11 years ago | on: Show HN: Dependency-based prioritization makes HTTP/2 much faster than SPDY

That is one of the main advantages of HTTP2 - it's called server push. When the server receives a request, it can send the headers for the requested resource plus the headers for as many related resources as it wants. The client can choose to either disable this, or reject pushed streams when it receives their headers.

I agree with you that this would be a great experiment. However, that won't stop any potential bias once they get the job.

My point was that he's making it seem like this happens a lot without actually quantifying it. It seems misleading to me.

gregory144 | 11 years ago | on: Reminder: Oh, Won't You Please Shut Up? (2011)

  But in the last 12 years, I've seen it in a dozen cases...

Once a year, throughout the country? How many thousands of investigations are performed per year? Doesn't seem very likely to happen.

gregory144 | 11 years ago | on: Why Federal College Ratings Won’t Rein in Tuition

I think you're being a little harsh. S/he was listing things that are not essential to a college education. The second point is referring to a different type of college education - one that obviously needs the internet since it would exist on the internet.

Also, Wifi != internet access. You can get to the internet without Wifi.

How is using something from a TV show taking your self too seriously?

gregory144 | 11 years ago | on: Tesla Model S JSON API

I agree with you, but I have trouble understanding the right way to implement "commands" like this - I must be thinking about it in the wrong way. How would you design a "real" REST interface for a command like this? What's the advantage a "real" REST interface gives you in this case?

gregory144 | 11 years ago | on: HTTP/2.0 – Please admit defeat

Can't the client side do this already (with HTTP/1.1) by turning off cookies?

Or are you pushing for browsers to turn off cookies by default?

I bet the "redefinition" is intentional.

gregory144 | 12 years ago | on: Haskell in the Newsroom [video]

Why do you say that unit testing is pointless in Haskell?

Edit: My bad - I missed the 100% part.

gregory144 | 12 years ago | on: An old system and a SWAT team

I don't think "swatting" is a common enough term to assume that everyone knows what it means. I certainly didn't.

It's possible he did consider that fact and the kettle wasn't on the same circuit with another high draw appliance.
