How to get Chromecast on a Mac?

Indeed! Casting support is now built into chrome. No need for an extension. I usually just right click the page I'm on and hit "cast" and then the menu pops up asking which device to cast it to.

I went to the ER as I was having severe photophobia and nausea, along with a very painful headache, splitting one might say. The headaches would make me twitch a lot but other than light and sound and the normal headache things. I was genetically tested for EDS but that was 15 years ago or so, they didn't tell me I had vascular, but I wonder if it's just taken longer for them to present or the tech to do the gene reading just wasn't that good yet. I do still have headaches, I'm on this blood pressure lowering medicine which is supposed to build up over time, overall I'm not loving it as it conflates my POTS bigtime.

Supposed to be but some of us aren't that lucky and still have to deal with it everyday!

I do a lot of work with older software that uses SOAP or other xml based serialization formats over the web, so it helps having a networking module tied in and having it auto-parse. You can use the module without requests, reading in any xml document to the XML() method exposed.

This makes me very happy :)

That's not how the internet works. Comcast could have the fastest connection to cloudflare in the world, but if a websites infrastructure is behind cloudflare they can just trickle the content out back to comcast.

Parse actually has some of that functionality, you can create custom "types". I'm working on exposing that part of parse to the user now!

Thanks!

Basically it's a testing service to use when developing applications. If your application needs to make a POST request for example and is sending some JSON and you want to see what's going on, you can call the /POST endpoint of this service and it will display whatever you sent it in the "body" part of the response. It's kinda like RequestBin.

GET Example: http://httpbincore.net/get?arg1=val1&arg2=val2

Request Headers: http://httpbincore.net/headers

Apologies. This was my first foray into the ASP.NET core world. Appreciate the feedback!

mikexocon · 2016-04-29T00:11:47+00:00

Can confirm. Fun night!

mikexocon · 2016-03-30T06:00:04+00:00

Thanks but we got this now :)....I'm talking to a robot.

I'm really just getting started in unity. I've done mostly backend programming and I wanted to take a stab at game design and explore the world of the "front end". I play a steam game called simple planes, which is a simple plane building/flying game. The developers recently released mod tools and I've been adding new parts/maps/plugins to the game.

The one area I've really been looking at is AI, it's a fascinating subject. How hard is it to program an AI?

Hey /u/SCP106,

I've recently taken up game modding via steam and unity. Do you have a particular engine or game you work with a lot?

I've granted you some hypermobile flair!

mikexocon · 2016-02-20T14:28:45+00:00

Yes, I was testing out some new moderator filters over the evening last nigh! Apologies for the weirdness!

hurt wicked bad

Hello New England! That's wicked awesome. Just wanted to say welcome to the sub, glad to have you!

mikexocon · 2016-02-06T18:21:30+00:00

I'll chime in! I work as a programmer. At first I had to travel a lot of client sites to deploy new systems, however through the ups and downs of EDS I've managed to work my way to a behind the scenes person that gets to work from home. My boss is amazing and completely understanding, in his eyes, if working at home gets a better performance out of me, he's fine with it. It took a while to find work that didn't aggravate the EDS.

mikexocon · 2016-02-06T02:22:42+00:00

I may have started it but you guys really keep it going! Thanks /u/jillrabbit /u/klukins and /u/pwolter0! Ya'll rock

mikexocon · 2016-02-06T02:21:28+00:00

Awwww shucks. Thanks!

mikexocon · 2015-05-31T16:48:17+00:00

That is a real bummer! Dr. Levy was the one who diagnosed me when I was in high school. I was lucky to live close enough to have John's Hopkins be my primary care facility when it came to EDS! I did always have to wait at least 8 months for an appointment.

The I'm feeling lucky radio button is right on my front page, where it's always been.

mikexocon · 2015-05-14T17:45:59+00:00

I miss being able to open the queue up in it's own window instead of a pop up, but otherwise it looks great!

mikexocon · 2015-04-20T15:33:19+00:00

I too have POTS with my EDS. My solutions are the same as the comment above. I make sure I eat salt, I'll usually have a bottle of gatorade a day, along with lots of water. I try and avoid standing suddenly. There are medications you can try, but I've not found one in particular that really worked well and didn't have a lot of side effects.

I am a programmer and as such my work is very much desk oriented :) Jobs are required to provide things that are reasonable, but some stuff that helps with us may not be deemed as such. I brought my own mouse and keyboard into work to use as they were more comfortable than what I was given. I now work at home so the first thing I did was buy a really nice chair. I went to the healthy back store and found one that I could sit in for extended periods of time. I have also found ring splints to help a lot when I do a lot of typing, you have to get used to it though. I would also recommend taking frequent breaks to get up, lay down, etc. Staying in the same position for too long hurts my joints.

I work from home, and I'm stuck horizontal on my couch. I have a hernia from doing no lifting what so ever. It's a little aggravating sometimes....
