GET shouldn't be used for a delete action, because it's specified as a safe method[0], which means essentially read-only. On a practical level, clients (like browsers) are free to cache and retry GET requests, which could lead to

JSONPath is a full query language ( https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9535/ ), similar to XPath for XML. It supports things like transformations, array operations, filters, etc.

I don't know of anything quite like what you're describing, but there are "half" or "twin" ropes, which are meant to be used as a pair. They're each thinner and lighter than ropes rated as "single&quo

In climbing, most of our gear is redundant. Anchors are built from at least two pieces (but ideally more), our harnesses have two tie-in points, and modern belay devices rely on both a camming mechanism and a brake hand. But there are still

I'm a rock climber, not a tower climber, but I've been on climbs that are >1k feet above the deck. For me (and I gather most climbers), just hanging off an anchor at 1000 feet doesn't feel particularly scary. You're f

LD50 is (an estimate) of the 50th percentile (i.e., 50% chance of dying), but that doesn't mean it's linear. It _certainly_ doesn't mean that 1% of people will die at 2% of that value, which I think is what you're implyi

Nobody is dying from the caffeine in coffee (like 50-100mg per cup). According to the NIH, LD50 of caffeine is 150-200mg/kg (so say 10g for a small person). That's like 100 cups of coffee. Even with espresso that's hard to im

A cynical view is that it's not just 2-3 providers, its any competition to their cloud-hosting business. See for example the recent wordpress drama, which concerns a small competitor. SSPL and related licenses are ambiguous and scary e

I worked at one of the big adtech companies at the time. DNT was a carefully negotiated compromise between the ad industry (and by proxy, the sites that depended on it for their income), the browser vendors, and privacy advocates. We implem

I can maybe give some justification for why this feature exists. It's designed for synchronous, single-threaded consumers which do something like this: loop { 1. Call poll 2. Durably process the messages } I think a po

This is a low-level embedded db that would be used by sql databases/query engines/streaming engines/etc rather than something that's likely to make sense for you to use as an application developer. It sits in a similar s

I'd encourage you to read the article. This is something that has been studied in depth. It's true there was an increase in visible homelessness in cities across the west coast (although, at least in SF, this has since declined) b

One advantage of having 50 states with various laws is that we don’t need to just speculate about this stuff. The fentanyl epidemic and increased homelessness impacted many places, but the evidence is that it was much, much worse in Oregon.

Games are "easy" for reinforcement learning because they have win conditions that can be automatically evaluated. Music isn't really like that.

This is so cool! I appreciate Debezium for its wide DB support (no part of me wants to know the inner workings of MSSQL's replication protocol) but it's finnicky to run. Great to have an alternative, at least for postgres.

You don't need to distribute via the app store for your app to be notarized, you just need to have an apple developer account ($99/year) and go through the notarization flow, which is automated and typically takes less than a minu

As someone with an opensource project that ships a helm package, I wish you the best of luck. Helm has many flaws, and we can definitely do better. It sounds like your pitch is focused on users, but I think you might want to think about how

There's nothing inherently wrong with the disaggregation of kitchen and dining rooms, so certainly you can get good food out of a commissary kitchen. In my area there's an amazing korean katsu place that's run out of one. But

Right, the ghost kitchens make (generally) terrible food, but are able to get orders by spamming the DoorDash/UberEats search pages. And if a particular brand gets too many bad reviews, no problem. Shut down and start a new one with an
