internals··on Unlisted App Distribution
We use this, great to see it officially announced! This helps offer apps to potential/current/former employees without competing with yourself in App Store search results. The only way to load the App Store app page is via the direct apps.apple.com link. Past that, the app is treated like any other.

You still go through the regular app review process, but honestly I think employees appreciate that and trust the app more seeing it come from the App Store rather than from some enterprise MDM app that prompts for a whole lot of device access/trust.

internals··on Employing QUIC Protocol to Optimize Uber’s App Performance
What a great case study. Successfully shifting 80% of mobile traffic to QUIC for a 50% reduction in latency is amazing. QUIC and the ongoing work with multipath TCP/QUIC will be huge QoL improvements for mobile networking.
internals··on Ask HN: What is your favorite podcast on data science?
Data Skeptic is great! Alternates between <10 min shorts on a specific concept as well as longer interview shows.

internals··on Cloudflare and RSS
This was very informative, thank you!
internals··on The DNSSEC master key securing DNS is about to change
One big challenge was it didn't account for gated hotspots (hotels, Starbucks, etc) where you need to authenticate to reach the Internet.
internals··on The Imposter's Handbook
I didn't find it online either, but did just pick up the book. This is ToC of pre-release #2 (~500 pages): http://i.imgur.com/ssYr5ki.png

C# & Javascript/Node. You can find the sample code from projects in the book here: https://github.com/imposters-handbook/sample-code/
internals··on The Imposter's Handbook
I just picked it up. Looking great at the moment. There are diagrams and illustrations throughout, and the ToC is a solid list of things I have had to figure out on the way & things I know of but don't yet understand.

This'll be worth the $30 to me.

internals··on Welcome Sharon
Thank you for bringing attention to the remark as you did, and for sharing your own experience.
internals··on Happy SysAdmin day – Have an IT themed adult coloring book from Device42
Wow, in concept and execution the artwork is really well done! Thanks for creating this!
internals··on How to Compromise the Enterprise Endpoint
Bigger attack surface in the kernel, for something that doesn't need to be there, and that is historically very difficult to code securely.
internals··on 3D Touch is a demo feature, not a real feature
3D Touch as implemented is as worrying as the new Apple TV remote - how did it ship like this?

3D Touch edge swipe to app switch overloads back/forward, swipe actions eg Archive or side pane reveal, and iPad app multi-tasking. It's also more difficult than doubling tap Home.

3D Touch text cursor movement is wonderful when it works but iíncreélldibly frustrating when it doesn't. The success rate is not high enough.

3D Touch peek/pop has potential as a new means of interaction. The key to unlock it is solving knowing when you could use it. But 3D Touch is missing on iPads & the SE and implemented completely differently between OS X, iPhone 6, and the watch. Areas you can use it on one don't work on the other. Patterns don't match even between apps on a platform. Throw in confusion with long pressing and what's available in which on what, and you have a proper mess.

internals··on Ask HN: What is the best recommended domain name registration site?
I love iwantmyname.com. Great company, great site, great support team, and has almost every TLD out there new or old.
