You can easily write a parser for this in Python. As long as you only support expressions it should be pretty straightforward.

URLs are not supposed to change since a URL identifies a resource. It is weird arguing for HATEOS as a mitigation for breaking a more fundamental constraint of REST.

I see this so often with fake news. People spread it because they want to believe it because it confirms their worldview. So when you point out the story is fake, they insist that it might as well be true.
875.
by goto11 5y ago
But what is the point? Why introduce an extra layer of complexity to mitigate changing URL's, something which has no purpose in the first place?

> Well the problem is exactly that they do change sometimes. Well they shouldn't! And if the API arbitrarily changes URLs around without reason, then surely they might also change the URL for the initial request.
877.
by goto11 5y ago
What is the problem with hard-coded URLs? It is certainly simpler than having to extract the URLs from some other request. If they don't change (and they shouldn't!) I don't see the problem.

It is the style of API's people commonly call REST API's which he suggest should be rebranded to HTTP API's. Because they are not really REST and don't need to be. He is not suggesting rebranding the architectural style

The problem is not REST per se, the problem is people thinking a machine-to-machine API "should" conform to REST. I have not seen a coherent argument for why HATEOAS should be a useful property for API's beside "REST say

I think HTTP API is fine. "Web" implies some form of hypertext or hypermedia, but this is not required in a API.

Then so is this code: function main() { let name = prompt('Hello, what is your name?'); alert('Hello, ' + name); } This function can also be passed around, kept in lists etc. without executin

The problem is not really with this book IMHO. Most of its advice and guidelines are perfectly sensible, at least for its intended domain. The problem is people applying principles dogmatically without seeing the larger picture or consideri

It basically means "append only". You can add new data to the database, but you can't change or delete existing data.

Yes but it was already relevant, since it was the lingua franca of higher education. It wansn't like Latin only became relevant later. I'm just confused about who would even suggest Latin was "useless" in the first pla

My point is just that input/output is not pure in Haskell. I believe it is an unfortunate misconception that obscures what the actual cool properties of Haskell is. IO functions like putStrLn is curried by default, so you can pass them
888.
by goto11 5y ago
Probably, since the local name part can be basically anything. But the way to prevent injection attacks is not to disallow or sanitize input, it is to escape correctly when interpolating strings in other languages.

But why restrict the syntax arbitrarily in the first place? It is not going to catch the common typos anyway. Most typos will just result in a wrong but still syntactically valid email address.
890.
by goto11 5y ago
I disagree. This code: main = do putStrLn "Hello, what's your name?" name <- getLine putStrLn $ "Hello " ++ name is not pure in any meaningful sense. At least not any more

The JavaScript equivalent would be: const io_actions = ["hello", "world"].map(s => () => console.log(s)); io_actions[1](); which also prints "world" when the JavaScript runtime evaluates the

But isn't it the case in any programming language that impure operations only have side effects when they are executed? You might as well argue that a JavaScript program on its own is pure - it is only when it is executed by the runt
893.
by goto11 5y ago
This is beside the point. Haskell have a number of built-in unpure operations like putStrLn. You can use the built-in IO type to execute these unpure operations. If you define your own type called IO you can't use it to execute unpure

But there are many generations of cruft. Table-based layouts is just one thing, how about font-tags, quirks-mode-triggering doctypes, frames, float-based layouts, <!--[if IE]> and so on. Each of these might by necessary to understand

My peeve is really about how to structure teaching. Teachers often seem to forget how they learned things themselves. You learn a programming language by diving into it it and making things work - not by first studying its historical roots

Email is a different can of worms, but it does not just correspond to web design 20 years ago. You can use a lot of CSS in email, but in a different way and under weird constraints with never exited on the web.

How would that eliminate cruft? Browsers would still have to support old version for backwards compatibility. Much better IMHO to extends the languages in a backwards-compatible manner.
