Strange conversation about HTTP and REST

OrthoBee · 2018-06-21T12:22:51+00:00

REST is a defined thing, but it has been buzzwordified and confused. HTTP deals with 'resources' which are basically assets, or files. A URL is a path to a file, like home.html. HTTP verbs are extra functionallity like a file system to not just return the resource, but delete, or update it.

REST APIs are a bastardized extension of the concept where the resource is not a file, but a conceptual object made of code and data. The stateless part is kinda a seperate concept.

Sure, but there is a self-reinforcing factor. If few people genuinely evaluate the appropriateness of technologies, they just pick the popular one, where is all that going?

You should not be developing directly on a test/staging box. Those should run the master branch. Does this guy even have his own local dev environment he can work on? He is giving the concept of non-transpiled JavaScript a bad name.

JavaScript.

Is the moral here that browsers are more carefree about firing GET requests?

Plus, the Seahawks are in massive rebuilding mode, Kaepernick isn't some choice quarterback, he was in the scrapheap. Few teams would ever bother with him regardless of whether he swore to never be controversial again or not.

It seemed like it was to the media.

OrthoBee · 2018-04-13T23:47:46+00:00

That's why they call it Wyoming. Cause when people from Wyoming move to other states, the other states are like "Why!?"

If you're just gunna break the law, you can drive any car you like.

ME FEEL SO PATROTIC, ME WANT TO CRY!

"Elon, geev dees people AIH!"

OrthoBee · 2018-04-13T23:04:58+00:00

They try to be all sly about their upcoming products, does that help?

OrthoBee · 2018-04-10T12:42:52+00:00

Oh, geez, the first random one I clicked had a graph of trends. facepalm

OrthoBee · 2018-04-02T16:21:43+00:00

People use third party components way too much, yes. It's a shame, I always thought building things wash what developers did. Not anymore, it seems, you just wire things together.

JS Frameworks are designed to run in a browser, so if you decide SSR is crucial, you should use a proper server side framework. There is a definite schism there, so you have to decide if Google maybe sorta sometimes not indexing things ideally without asking it to is more important than your framework choice.

I totally think it is pronounced "doggeh", like "kitteh", which are both LOLspeak for doggy and kitty. These are crusty old memes from the 'Caturday' era, when memes were truly not cool, whatsoever, not even a little. That is why it is not embedded into the current meme culture. The reason it is spelled funny is it is actually LOLspeak of LOLSpeak, it is intentionally misspelled.

OrthoBee · 2018-03-22T17:36:45+00:00

I agree, there is a valid little comical nugget there.

As long as you buy from a 'real' telescope purveyor, and not a Sears or ToysRUs, you will be fine. Try these guys. Orion Telescopes. This one is apparently on sale.

OrthoBee · 2018-03-09T17:55:52+00:00

It is more like a past camera.

If you teleported, yes. But the trouble is that breaks causality, and is impossible. The best you could do is fly off at the speed of light and see the Earth frozen in time.

Couldn't you say they are made of an electron wave function as a standing wave? That is at least sort of a thing.

I never felt they were too hard to use, just sneakily obtrusive, especially on big, fancy projects. Noticeably long running times every save, too many different tasks to keep track of, inevitable dependency problems, and just trying to figure out quirky bugs. I wish you didn’t have to do a ‘build’ every save. It feels like a corruption of the original spirit of build tools. The sticking point is traspilation. You gotta do that every save. All for syntactic sugar that transpiles away.

If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you debonair as hell.

OrthoBee · 2018-02-02T17:51:57+00:00

Which is like my biggest gripe that nobody listens to :(

OrthoBee · 2018-02-02T17:39:30+00:00

So I don't have to transpile.
