It can usually be implemented like this. No need for strings.

I can second this. Their sales people have such poor behaviour that I am considering moving away simply on principle. There is nothing predictable about being on an enterprise contract and they will hit you with bullshit overage charges like using too many dns requests (wtf??) all of a sudden to force you onto a much larger contract. On the 28th of December no less ! We have used them for a very long time but I am having very big doubts about how much we can use them in the future even though their products are great.

Unrealised gains compound faster than taxed gains. You then only have to pay taxes on the money you spend.

I would expect only Bitcoin markets to have the liquidity and depth where one can easily buy 5 million worth of coins. Similarly when the hackers want to sell the coins again.

Not sure of the total outcome but the heat source might not be as efficient at pumping out heat for it to get warm quickly enough than it would at a constant rate. I cannot find a source now but I believe this is even the case for new refrigerators that they run in a much more continuous mode than the jagged cool/off mode.

Re:Compile-Time DI vs. Run-Time DI

You are just refuting your own straw man.
Passing dependencies also qualifies as DI and is for the benefit of the developer. Maybe you are only talking about DI frameworks or containers in which case I share some skepticism but in general the concept of DI is pretty sound.

Re:Show HN: SentinelJS – Detect new DOM nodes using CSS selectors
on Monday September 18, 2017 @05:57AM (#15274552)
Thanks for the response and sorry. Maybe I was not quite clear. I was attempting ask if it would trigger the event handler before DOMContentLoaded (relevant on big document where DOMContentLoaded takes 10 seconds to fire)
Example on a timeline:
0. Browser starts parsing the document
1. Sentiel.js loads (ie. by blocking script tag)
2. Handler is set for .my-component (ie. by inline script tag)
3. Browser parses <div class="my-component" />
4. Handler is fired for .my-component
5. Browser parses rest of document
6. DOMContentLoaded is fired.
Will the .my-component handler will always fire after DOMContentLoaded or have you experienced that it might happen before? I guess it reduces to the question if key-frame-handlers will fire before the document is fully loaded/rendered.

If the author is watching this thread or anyone else. Would this work for elements not yet loaded by the browser before DOMContentLoaded?

No that is not all an attacker could know. TLS does not provide confidentiality of the number of bytes transmitted. So in your example an attacker would only have to crawl the public website and find the pages matching in size to the ones you have been browsing.
