The bonus with this is that at the start you are probably only interested in a few of the fields in the webhook, but as your application develops, you may need to extract more. If you've stored the JSON of previous webhooks, you have a

Thanks for these screencasts. Very informative. You sound like you grew up in Rathgar or Rathmines.

In the X1 Extreme, the hdmi port is wired directly to the Nvidia card, so if you want to use an external monitor, you need to enable the card. This causes all manner of nightmares. Gnome also used to forget monitor layouts and resolutions h

Is Nvidia Optimus going to work or will it still require a dirty hack? Will you have to choose between decent battery life and the ability to use an external monitor? I bought an X1 Extreme and even with Pop!_OS it is incredibly annoying.

Does this call into question whether the virus arose in China? The last bit of news I saw from there said they had their first case on November 17.

This comment is peak HN. I am not sure if some of the assumptions are correct. Is it true that there are two populations - productive people and welfare dependents - and that people live their lives in one or the other bucket? Is it true th

This is a good review. Note that I am not saying that no women experience serious negative psychological consequences. Some do. https://www.sexualwellbeing.ie/for-professionals/research/re...

Another person who equates capitalism and the free market. Capitalism is not the absence of state intervention in the market. Capitalism is the system where one group of individuals owns businesses and other assets and lives off the profit

I wonder if there is a similar mechanism in humans.

Sorry, but this is nonsense. Fluency in a natural language is a woolly concept. There is no such thing as being "completely fluent." There are various dimensions of language proficiency and even native speakers vary greatly in the

Excuse me. I meant a CT. CT scans were used extensively in China to check the progress of the disease in the lungs. My point was simply that it is not feasible to bring a CT scanner to his house.

I don't understand how someone arrives at this position without starting off with an axe to grind and looking for facts that fit. Do you think that a liberal capitalist country would have managed to contain this? How, in that case, do

The dry eyes thing is crazy. I got Lasik about two years ago and had a period of dry eyes afterwards, which abated in time. I got them again about a week ago. I also got an intermittent fever and a dry cough. The fever wasn't severe an

Pox parties are forced infection. Children do not choose to go or understand what is being done to them. Their parents exert power over them to make it happen. You can argue about the morality of it, but the analogy with adults voluntarily
