The dinosaur with the most horns still has the most horns. Present tense is acceptable in reference to the record.

Ads are extremely effective in aggregate though it’s difficult to impossible to assign value to any individual ad. Targeted ads are popular because they are more directly attributable to purchases, but it’s also likely that other ads led you towards that decision as well.

There’s levels to it. True quality isn’t worth it, absolute garbage costs a lot though. Some level that mostly works is the sweet spot.

Leaders that don’t take leave is a common warning side of fraud happening.

Passing a driving test in the US is usually one of the first accomplishments of becoming an adult, which makes it notable, but not necessarily big.

This is why I’m not a fan of REST, the whole as possible part is meaningless. It could be an api that’s 99% REST with a few well thought out methods for common actions that aren’t quite REST, or it could be a mess of an api that uses PUT occasionally.

Self documenting at an application api level is not really possible. What I’d rather have is consistency and predictability, which is impossible in a REST as possible system.

There’s also value in treating http as just a transport later. It can give you clear boundaries, 200 the app processed the request, anything else the app didn’t process it.

Yes most things are crud if you zoom out enough that doesn’t mean REST is just fine. The scope is larger now, the states are more complex and interrelated, relationships are more complex, data privacy laws can affect the physical implementation. REST also has a lot of baggage that leads to excessive bike shedding, or refusal to allow useful endpoints that aren’t sufficiently restful. Proponents also tend to be more concerned with the purity of the api than the usability and effectiveness of it

Yes I’d rather have a self defined standard that accurately covers the scope of an application and it’s use cases than stretch an old standard design for basic hierarchical text docs to work for a modern application.

The people that decide which rules are important or not when designing a “REST” api are generally insufferable as well.

I’d rather see this than actual rest or the more popular use the bits of rest that are convenient.

A large part is fear of rejection and you are paying for an AI girlfriend anyway, it gets pretty blurry.

Is it? Prostitution has existed since forever. Women as property is still a cultural norm in some countries that exist today. We are within living memory of marital rape becoming a crime in the US.

Those bills were part of the problem, they front loaded a ton of spending with the hope of massive returns in a decade. Now that Trump killed any chance of success it really sucks.

Biden gets a lot of credit for Covid, but he did very little on that front. The vaccines were something Trump actually did well in getting them developed ASAP. He did sign some additional spending related to Covid. Inflation wasn’t 100% his fault, but he did sign a lot of spending that probably shouldn’t have happened, the interest rate staying low under Trump was also a big contributor.

I think the farther we get from Obama the more he will become considered a bad president. Trump is worse, but that’s not helping Obama’s legacy.

That ending was super dark, so I’m not surprised they changed it up in theaters.

Watching butterfly effect in college. 30 seconds into the movie I jokingly say he’s going to go back and kill himself. My friend who had already seen it was pissed and held his tongue through the whole movie.

it’s just a hummingbird moth Who’s acting like a bird that thinks it’s a bee

There’s also about that many nuclear powered ships in the US Navy.
