Postman mac os2/13/2024 ![]() This work resulted in us developing the Postman agent. To allow developers to make API requests on the web as part of this latest release, we had to find a way to get around these browser limitations. We needed a new approach to solve this issue, and so the Postman engineering team got to work to find a breakthrough. In our journey back to the web, the CORS limitation was a fundamental, ongoing issue that hindered our ability to bring an amazing API developer experience to the browser. In the early days of Postman, these challenges with CORS while working with APIs in the browser quickly pushed Postman from the web to the desktop, resulting in the Windows and Mac versions of the Postman app that developers depend on today. ![]() This feature protects website users from malicious activity, but it is also something that negatively impacts one of the core capabilities of web APIs: the accessing of data, content, media, and algorithms across a variety of domains.Īs a developer, if you’ve had the chance to work with many APIs using JavaScript in the browser, then you have no doubt encountered challenges using cross-origin resource sharing (CORS). Leading browsers like Chrome and Firefox restrict how data is exchanged between different internet domains, limiting requests to the domain you have loaded in the address bar. Modern browsers are great for humans surfing websites, but they have limitations when it comes to pulling data from APIs across many different domains. The limitation of cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) in browsers We needed to overcome a fundamental limitation of browser architectures to truly bring the Postman experience to the web. (We encourage you to read the launch blog post here.)īut bringing Postman to the web wasn’t as easy as simply building a browser-based UI. ![]() Today we announced a new beta version of Postman that we’ve been working on to address a wide range of requests from our fantastic user community: Postman on the web.

Dying light 22/13/2024 Given the above outcomes, it should be pretty clear how to get the best possible ending out of Dying Light 2: How to get the best ending in Dying Light 2 Mia dies, along with pretty much everyone else except you and Lawan. If you save Lawan, then Villedor is largely destroyed. However, Mia will still die shortly after saving her, and Lawan will also die unless you spared Hakon. Lawan will successfully detonate the charges, destroying the missiles before they destroy the city. If you give the VNC Tower to Jack Matt or Juan, then the Peacekeepers take over Villedor (if it still stands), and whether Lawan lives or dies, Aiden will leave the city without her. If you give the VNC Tower to Frank, then the Survivors take over Villedor (if Villedor is left standing - see the next choice), and if Lawan survives she will leave the city with Aiden. What changes if you give the VNC Tower to Frank? If you choose this route, then you are locked into leaving the city on your own. If you kill Hakon, then no one comes to rescue whoever you don't choose to save, and they immediately die in the explosion. However, even if Hakon saves Mia, she will die shortly afterwards. If you spare Hakon, then he will arrive at the very end of the game to rescue whoever you don't pick to save between Lawan and Mia. Below we'll walk you through what changes with each of these choices, and explain how to get the best ending and the worst ending in the game. For most of them, the differences are fairly minute, but the above choices still matter. What this means is there are technically 8 different endings to Dying Light 2.

What changes if you give the VNC Tower to Frank?.What changes if you kill or spare Hakon?.We'll talk a bit about each of the major choices and what they change in the Epilogue, alongside walkthroughs of how to get the very best and worst endings in the game. In Techland's newest story there is no clear right or wrong a lot of the time, and it's rarely clear which decisions affect the ending and which do not.īelow we'll walk you through everything that can influence which of the 8 (yes, 8!) Dying Light 2 endings you can get. Want to know how to get the best Dying Light 2 ending? Throughout your playthrough of Dying Light 2, there are a number of fateful moments where you must make hard decisions which can influence the ending you receive in the Epilogue.

World war 2 polish gas mask2/12/2024 ![]() Contact the National Archives to plan a research visit.Īmerican Unofficial Collection of World War I Photographs, 1917 - 1918Īccessing World War I Photos in the Digital Age, The Unwritten Record blog The records highlighted here represent a small portion of the National Archives holdings, many of which have not yet been digitized. “They were fighting a war in the laboratory at Oxford, and I think to understand what they were doing and the risks that they faced I think you need to understand the urgency of the situation that they saw themselves in,” Sturdy said.Begin your research with these World War I overview guides and resources from the National Archives. The box respirator was ultimately designed by another scientist, Edward Harrison, who died prematurely because of exposure to gas during testing. Haldane, for his part, helped to work on the box respirator, the direct ancestor of the modern gas mask. Due to racism, Morgan initially struggled to sell his product, but he found success after hiring white actors to pose as him at trade shows.Įdward Harrison finally designed the small box respirator that was the direct ancestor of modern respirators. It was not a practical proposition at all.Īs the frequency and concentration of gas attacks grew, the technology needed to change. Though Black inventor Garrett Morgan had patented an early gas mask in 1914, a full year before Haldane began his work, Morgan’s device wasn’t designed for battle instead, wrote Leo DeLuca for Scientific Americanin 2021, his safety hood was intended to protect workers from smoke and fumes. ![]() ![]() One stretcher bearer quoted in Chester’s article described being among the first to use the veil respirator:īut, I found using it in the gas cloud that after a couple of minutes one couldn't breathe and so it was pushed up over the forehead and we swallowed the gas. “Basically it was pads of cotton waste that were wrapped in gauze and soaked in a solution, sodium thiosulphate, which neutralized the effects of low concentrations of chlorine gas.īut it was far from a solution. Then Haldane’s first effort was a “makeshift” respirator, Sturdy told the BBC, called the “Black Veil” respirator. “Naomi was stationed outside the door, which had a window in it, with instructions that if any of them were incapacitated she should get them out as quickly as possible and perform artificial respiration on them,” Sturdy says.īefore Haldane and his team made innovations in keeping soldiers safe from gas, the suggested remedy on the front lines was holding a urine-soaked handkerchief or urine-soaked socks to the face, Chester writes. Haldane and his fellow researchers would expose themselves to gas and test its effects. The scientist’s lab was in his home, and he employed his daughter Naomi, then a teenager, as a research assistant, historian Steve Sturdy told the BBC. Haldane and his team were able to identify the gas used at Ypres as chlorine by examining discolored metal buttons on soldiers' uniforms.Īfter he returned to his home in Oxford, England, he started experimenting to find out what would keep the gas out. His job was to ID the kind of gas that was being used. Thirty years into his career, in 1915, Haldane was sent to Ypres after the battle, the BBC writes. He had also done previous work on how to protect miners from gas using respirators, according to Jerry Chester for the BBC.īut Haldane’s other big contribution didn’t just endanger birds: It endangered him and his family. Smithsonian has written about Haldane before, because he was the man who devised the idea of using canaries and other small animals in coal mines to detect odorless, deadly gases. He taught at several universities and developed medical remedies for common industrial ailments. But he wasn’t a practicing doctor: instead he was a medical researcher, writes the Science Museum in London. Haldane, born on this day in 1860 in Edinburgh, Scotland, got his medical degree in 1884. One of these scientists was John Scott Haldane, whose spectacular moustache (see above) would likely have prevented him from getting a good seal when wearing a gas mask. Unprepared for German forces to use chlorine gas as a weapon, many Allied soldiers suffocated, unprotected, during the Battle of Ypres in 1915.īut they gained protection thanks to the efforts of scientists who worked on the home front. The story has been updated to reflect Morgan’s contributions. In fact, Garrett Morgan, a Black inventor based in Ohio, filed a patent for a gas mask in 1914, a year before Haldane started researching his device. Editor’s Note, May 11, 2022: This article previously suggested that John Haldane was the first person to invent a gas mask. |
