How did we end up purifying the amount of U235 needed?
I saw on another page "General Leslie Groves consulted with lead scientists of the project and agreed to investigate simultaneously four separate methods of separating and purifying the uranium-235: gaseous diffusion, centrifuge, electromagnetic separation and liquid thermal diffusion."
Seems like a ton of work.
tachang | 7 years ago | on: REST and GraphQL really aren't that different
The reason you'd do this is because you are probably planning to return the same response for all the HTTP verbs.
Like if you wanted to return a empty hash {} for:
GET /
DELETE /
PUT /
PATCH /
POST /

This is some seriously good marketing. Tesla is in a unique position to offer their car up as a prize and target. Other manufacturers could do this but because it is hard to update their firmware they don't do it.

Reading the discussion thread is fantastic. The postgres community culture definitely feels a lot different than some of the other open source projects I've seen.

What are you doing that I am not? Jira is slow as hell and updating statuses take forever.
Are you on an onprem version?

It's possible at some schools to have 89s through most of your classes which equals a B (3.0) and have a few Cs and thus have a 2.6 GPA.

Where exactly in the link does it say the army discourages lead testing?
Reuters says "Yet it also “discourages” this type of lead-paint inspection" at the link https://phc.amedd.army.mil/topics/workplacehealth/ih/Pages/L...
tachang | 7 years ago | on: Serverless Best Practices
I agree with this. Having a traditionally relational store can be a huge help: lots of people know it well, the disadvantages are well known, and everything is insanely mature. I dislike how the article tries to say that isn’t serveless’s fault when it is just a trade off.

What if you can’t because you want to use a hosted provider for your homepage like wix? Which doesn’t support reverse producing?

Banks do this so they can gain the interest on the delay. Very annoying though for the end usrr

Some of you conspiracy theorists are insane. No Comcast didn't purposely do this. I can guarantee it was just a backhoe digging around. Happens more often than anyone would care to admit.

For a react developer I'd say one level is understanding reactive design and maybe how you would implement it in pure JavaScript without react. One level below that would be how you would implement JavaScript and maybe a bit of knowledge how the engine works and shadow Dom.

It's a testament to humanity's ingenuity that we managed to put a rover on Mars. I sometimes wonder if in 1000 years we will look back and think how primitive we were and curiosity will be in some museum.

Can you explain a bit more what your code is doing?
Are you suppose to instantiate the handler class and call it?

You're thinking too much into it. They might just record the screen every few seconds and save it to their servers. There's software that does this easily.

If the passwords were salted it still means that a determined adversary can find your password relatively quickly.
Other better hash functions for passwords include things like bcrypt. Though I do understand it is a pain to migrate users over since you can only do it when they login.
