if you already have an api that exposes all the information that your parter who is willing to pay for an API key wants, then sure, that's perfect. but what if you don't have an API, or your API doesn't expose the informatio

i did the same last month - i used chatgpt heavily to explain oauth to me. and then confirmed what it was telling me my checking the actual spec documents. i think, as the article says, oauth is so varied that while there are documents

It’s just a blur. Like the background of the photos in this article. You can get some cool distortions at very slow speeds, but at car or train speeds you won’t see anything

This is a completely meaningless statement. It sounds good, but contains no actual argument. why are chips like agriculture? What makes that statement not apply to literally every product category that exists? Agriculture is self-eviden

you might not be kidding, hopefully they were. when you decide titles don't matter and let people choose their own, you get some titles that weren't created in total seriousness.

we've done this before, either with sales or support calls for the product. customer interaction is good, and can lead to good things. but it also leads to things that are heavily focused on the needs of one customer or one point in

i think it's unclear whether newsmax is a "real" company or not. is there any indication that they're trying to make money, or are they trying to push their agenda? because they pretty clearly do have an agenda to push

you're currently allowed a carry-on and a "personal item" like a purse or a small backpack. the carry-on can be stowed, but the personal item has to stay with you in the seat. getting rid of the carry-on doesn't mean no

laws are inherently national, which the internet is not. by all means write a law that crawlers need to obey robots.txt, but how are you going to make russia or china follow that law?

this was basically a cheat code in the original cities skylines. if you zoned 4x1 alternating residential/commercial/office, you can pack in way more residents, they were happier, and there was less traffic.

i think that sounds like a perfectly fine compromise - choosing not to provide services that are an especially high risk of fraud should be within their rights. it just means that they could be forced to defend those decisions in court, whi

yes. i don't mean to unfairly criticize the web as a platform, i just know it's warts because it's the platform i work on. my criticism is reserved for the concept of "first principles", as if there should be a coh

not really. the web is 30+ years of fixes, shortcuts, compatibility hacks, tech industry politics, and other assorted mistakes. the "first principles" to understand it all is the complete set of mailing list archives of the WhatW

As is usual with these JS critiques, the problem is that you'd never do most of this. Yes, it's silly, but nobody passes random strings into the date constructor because all you really need to know is that the date constructor do

i don't think it's ironic at all. the AI boom exposed the value of data. there's two inevitable consequences when the value of something goes up: the people who were previously giving it away for free start charging for it,
