They also treat newlines (\n) in the XML payload as an invalid character for <airquotes> security reasons </airquotes>. Authorize.net is an antiquated company that is slowly disappearing, having lost the race versus Bluesnap and Braintree, just to name a couple of providers in the field.

Good riddance.

As someone living/fighting through the performance degradation that the kernel patches have done to IO loads at AWS, I'm wondering if their Xen patches have had this or may include it in the future.

Would really really rather that there were no more negative changes.

We run 1.5 million messages per minute through our NSQ framework and we're starting to run into architectural limitations i.r.t to the number of workers in each producer/consumer pool, and are now testing/benchmarking Kafka in our staging environment.

AWS has recommended for us to move back to i2s. Geez, thanks

Something to think about: chess notation is 1-8 and a-f., with a1 on the bottom left and h8 on the upper right.

All you need to do is sum up the numbers on each row/column. Horizontal will produce the latitude (except after the 1,), and vertical will produce the longitude.

checked out caves.jpg with a hex editor, i'm thinking the next clue is embedded in the jpeg, which is causing the corruption

51.3015,-3.0178

MagicI.See_abeach,-yes._Iexploredaylight

we need to convert these to numbers to get the lat/lon of this location.

It sounds like the surf to me.

From the description:

>You can always count on a good time at the beach...

This JS instantiates a marker at these coordinates:

this.markers = [{ lat: -28.092472, lng: -52.419667 }];

which points to a field in southern Brazil. Anyone wanna go see what's there? :)

Great write up. There needs to be more mobile development writeups like this, they aren't popular compared to, say, developing something functional in a backend language such as Go, Node or Python that HN seems to love.

It's probably the hardware bruteforce unlock that's been floating around for about a year:

Chiming in here - I've got congenital profound loss in both ears, but I have a cochlear implant. I've grown in my career over the last 15 years from junior dev up to my current engineering management role, and what I've observed was:

1) The biggest hurdle in most cases is communication, especially in meetings. That being said, I still do fine in them, because I rely on lip reading as well as vocal cues/context, but I also rely on my coworkers to be understanding from time to time, and they are.

2) Slack has been hugely beneficial to me, but it requires the organization to be engaged with it.

3) I have accented speech because I drop some consonants (f and s sounds mostly), and it can be a challenge for some to clearly understand me shortly after meeting me. This usually resolves itself after 2-3 weeks.

4) Job interviews: I'm always up front about what I can and can't do - this usually comes up around the topic of phone interviews, I can't do them. People appreciate this, and I make it clear that I'm not ashamed or hindered by my disability. The confidence goes a long way. If you come off unsure, then of course others will be unsure. I've definitely had interviews where there was a communication disconnect, but typically that comes along with other circumstances that make the job a poor fit. I've never had the situation where the job/culture/people fit was there but it didn't happen because of a communication issue.

For other deaf developers out there, just own it and show that there is no hurdle out there that you can't overcome, and you will be successful. Always be trying to help others and others will help you in return.

RDS wouldn't be my first choice to run in a production environment like AirBNB...

Soon, you can commit your genetic code to GitHub, then just do git diff master..offspring to see where your kid got his blue eyes from.

Interesting, but I can't immediately think of any real-world use cases that this solves that aren't already solved with existing technology. The docs don't really describe anything beyond "automatic NAT traversal and end-to-end encryption with no configuration". No configuration? Not entirely true. :)

What are some use cases this can be applied to?

You're not trying to scale for millions of users. It's okay to let your CPU cook a bit.

Ditto.

We use it at Life360, formerly on RabbitMQ. No real issues.

I suspect you may be my coworker.
