Don't you have the same problem with ill-specified binary protocols?

Would that really cause a problem in determining if the text being sent is well-formed? Having GET, POST, PUT, etc. and header names be in another language wouldn't prevent you from determining the well-formedness of the text.

That's because you need to know the format to know how to interpret it. Otherwise the best you can really do is use a hex editor. Or are you suggesting a tool that lets you easily specify the binary format? I'm pretty sure there a

I guess it comes down to how well they do it.

It may also come down to what else the web service needs to do. If you're just doing a CRUD app, you're probably right. But if you're wrapping some complex logic that itself makes sense to writ in Rust, then I can see why you

I think they're useful for different things. Media-type versioning is useful for supporting different data types/representations of the same resource. URL versioning is useful for versioning resources themselves and their behavior

> Delivery companies are free to buy and resell product from restaurants and add their own markup. Which is fine. I think the problem is that they are representing themselves as if they are the restaurant, not a reseller. Customers mig

> The customer pays the extra 20%. Which means they might order less food than they would have with lower prices. Or that they might decide it's too expensive, and order from another restaurant.

If you owned a restaurant called Fred's Diner, you might have a website called freds-diner.com. If a delivery company gets the domain freds-diner-restaurant.com, then they're competing for your traffic. And their domain might end

I don't know what the OP meant, but if the customer is paying a markup for the food, then they might end up ordering less food.

So just to look at this from another perspective. If I created a chase-bank.com website, and allowed users to interact with their actual Chase account through it, but I took a percentage of all transactions, it would be fine?

You seem to be interpreting it the opposite of how I interpreted it. You wouldn't take action against the person without money. You'd do something to fix the situation, like provide them with a lawyer for free. Note I don't n

You could just append a new state to the end of the timeline when you “undo”, so you never lose history. This is how undo works in Emacs by default.

#7 is one of my favorite zsh features though, even though it doesn't seem like that big of a deal if you haven't used it.

Writing SQL is so much easier than understanding ORMs. ORMs tend to be very complex, because the problem they're trying to solve requires that complexity. Now maybe my perspective is biased too much, since the only ORM I've really

They do recommend eating polyunsaturates over saturated fats. That isn't doing us any favors.

Well, if the theory in the article is correct, then high cholesterol may not be a bad thing.

I'm not arguing against using an existing format, BTW, just seems like a weird mixture here. I can't help but think s-expressions would have been a better choice.

> SVGs are meant to be created and used like any image file. Then why bother with the XML? And why use the embedded DSLs in strings instead of the more verbose XML-way.

Except that's not what happened. They also had to define new syntax for the DSLs they embed in strings.

The idea that animal products are unhealthy seems to be misguided. It seems more likely that the supposedly "heart healthy" seed oils are causing heart disease. The Carnivore Code has some very good insights (at least in my opinio
