It’s called the linguini effect.

Speaking of analog: Light Guns don’t work on modern televisions due to the high latency relative to CRT screens (which had essentially zero latency).

It baffles me that they sell Chrome as private and/or secure, and baffles me even more that people believe them.

“Turing Completeness” != “Turing Test”

I assume this is a joke?

Where?

Tbf people say this about a lot of things the Republicans do.

Can’t say we as a species have a great history of granting rights to others.

Those are two very fair points - I agree.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean.

For an API there should always be a version parameter/endpoint, imho.

Edit for further context: Ideally, a parameter.

The biggest reason for me is that it’s less data to send over a network. Especially when I’m working with lists of objects, including null fields can add a noticeable chunk to the payload.

There are some cases where it might be worth it to differentiate “No value” and “No attribute”, but in most cases they can be treated the same, since the data should really be validated against a schema anyway.

Yeah, I’m also confused. If an attribute is null, I would prefer to simply not serialize it.

I’m sure there are edge cases where someone might prefer to include null attributes, but generally they should be treated the same either way.

I say we ditch this nonsense altogether and go back to vague descriptions of the Sun’s position in the sky.

In case anyone is curious - as I was - here’s the commercial: https://youtu.be/uTVlnehpRHQ

Love how they make this sound like some incredible feat. When you aren’t bound to license agreements, turns out it’s actually very easy to have a “massive” content library. Literally the only hurdle is storage space.

Because all the legal services are incredibly anti-consumer and are offering less services, with (more) ads, for more money every year.

It’s like they took an ergonomics textbook and read it upside-down.

Haha literally what planet do they live on?

That was quite a segue into complaining about inflation.
