TIL about a 2,000 lb "manhole cover" (big armored plate they welded on the end of a pipe to contain (HA!) the explosion) that got launched into the atmosphere in 1957 by a nuclear explosion test, leaving ground at 150,000 mph (220,000 fps). Spoiler: it probably vaporized.

This would be great to use on my sites so users choose stronger passwords.

Is there an api planned, or is it open source?

NSAIDs are anti-inflammatories. Analgesics are anti-pain. Completely different mechanisms.

I had arthroscopic surgery for a torn meniscus in my knee this year. My doc (well-respected pro sports ortho in Austin) put me on ice and rather long term Naproxen (NSAID). So not every doc has gotten with or believes in the new thinking.

All I can say is that I have never been so insulted (even by the likes of my moronic sister (who seems to delight in making me uncomfortable (and she is so good at it, knowing just how to push my buttons (which I think is a skill that all siblings possess to some extent (which I believe proves some sort of genetic link (despite the fact that I really enjoyed genetics in school (relating on so many levels to Gregor Mendel and his peas (but of course peas make me gag, since my throat swells when I eat them)))))))) as I was by someone suggesting that I have ADD.

Brilliant.

Three years ago I started a side hustle in the golf industry to pay for my obsessive love for the game.

Never really talked about it in my software circles (until now), but it’s probably time, as we’re doing mid 7-figures/yr, growing rapidly, and have three ft employees (sales and shipping). It’s become my ft gig as well and I couldn’t be happier.

Currently I’m considering hiring another dev with a similar passion for the game, ideally someone with computer vision experience. Austin location preferred but would consider remote.

Thanks for your response. This happens to me whether or not I've collapsed any comments or hidden any posts. Frustrating, because I've tried it on a couple of friends' iPhones and their phones don't have the same problem.

It feels like some kind of issue with the response cache headers sent by the webserver, but since it's not reproducible on some phones or any desktop browser, that's unlikely.

Surprising that with all that infrastructure he’s not compacting/obfuscating his JS.

Also surprising, of course, that an expert isn’t doing that redirect server-side.

Prefer a software engineer with a passion for golf and some experience with golf tech. RoR and iOS dev a plus. Our small team of three is innovating in the indoor golf space, which is booming. Email ron at domain above, reference HN in subject.
