Their "Trusted Root Catalog" is a total fiasco as well. They were one of the AWS IoT launch partners and they apparently repeatedly failed to including AWS root authorities in their catalog. They were responsive in acknowledging, but typically took a month plus to actually update the SDK, (released quarterly,) to address it.
They seemingly failed to comprehend why anyone would not want to use TI's chain of trust, that is not manufacturer customizable, on proprietary IoT devices. This was explicitly an issue for code signing as well, as it required obtaining a third-party code signing certificate from any number of CA's instead of using our explicit root CA.
When going through a similar event, I was able to find resources at the hospital that helped a lot. In life and death situations they often have patient advocates on staff. I was able to reach out and had a patient advocate, either a nurse practitioner or doctor, that helped sort out the communications. A lot of the stress came from doctors' reluctance to put things in simple terms. The patient advocate was able to basically come in and say, "Look, they can put a pacemaker in, but your loved one only has 12% heart function and is still dying." It was received differently than a family member saying it. After all, their job is to advocate for the best interest of the patient. Ours actually got pretty angry with the doctors for how things had been allowed to progress. Hospitals usually have grief counselors and social workers as well. Just getting the brother extra support might be enough to open him up.
There is T.h.e. Brain trust that hosts online support groups for brain tumor patients and caregivers. I am on the adult ependymoma mailing list. It is a good way to find specific hospitals and doctors to get in contact with. The ependymoma list has a couple of doctors that regularly communicate on specific questions.
As a residential subscriber this is contractually the case. ISPs do not allow the operation of servers in residential contracts and they are almost always provisioned with asymmetric speed. 50 down, 5 up, etc.
>I have occasionally downloaded apps through one of the APK downloader services mentioned in the article comments -- I've had mixed luck.
One of the biggest issue of running Apps (open source or not) is the inclusion of the Play Store API in the app itself. These apps when not logged into the play store usually crash with NullPointerExceptions. Please... if you are an Android developer... expect your third-party services/APIs to be missing or to crash and handle that case... If you include the Map API or several other Google Services APIs in your app and the Play Store is missing or the user does not have a registered account... calls to those services will most likely result in NullPointerExceptions. Tell me to deal with it, don't crash.
What you are referring to is a design pattern called fluent interfaces[1]. They do make for very usable APIs when used to represent pipelines and filters. They are also used heavily in creating domain specific language features. In your SQL example it works very well such as in SQLAlchemy. But in that example, the chained methods are building a query as opposed to mutating the actual data. Splitting hairs.
I am new to go with a Python and C# background. Using Revel on my latest project. Not completely convinced it provides that much over roll-your-own or composition with Gorilla's libraries. I much prefer Gorilla's mux to Revel's routes. Looking at the source code has been highly beneficial to learning Go, so Thanks all the same.
"On February 5, 2013, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs announced
that instead of building a single integrated electronic health record (iEHR), both DOD and VA
will concentrate on integrating VA and DOD health data by focusing on interoperability and using
existing technological solutions. This announcement was a departure from the previous
commitments that both Departments had made to design and build a new single iEHR, rather than
upgrading their current electronic health records and trying to develop interoperability solutions."
"If you have a strong sense of the overriding moral superiority of your worldview, then the need to protect and advance it can seem the most important duty of all."
I'll take "What is the definition of succinct for 1000 Trebeck"
>Were I the folks in charge at Boeing, I'd be looking at a joint venture with Mr. Musk, starting today.
Boeing and Lockheed are pretty much the only space flight companies working with the government. Musk has an issue with this which is why his battery predictions are so enjoyable.
Yes, I would read Seneca first or I highly recommend "A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy". Then reading Epictetus and Aurelius. Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson can also be added to the reading list in my view.
I had never heard this term before. I agree with Jeff in general but there are very legitimate reasons beyond immaturity. One is maturity in the sense of picking your battles in life and knowing when your current activities are incongruent with your principles. There are many situations when the best course of action for everyone involved is to walk away. The result is not always having given up forever, but an opportunity to step back, reflect and reevaluate your approach. It is unfortunate that people do "rage quit" and give up entirely. Resilience is not always a function of maturity.

They did finally provide a method to use a custom root CA for SSL a year later, https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless-connectivity/wifi/f/968/....
