This only works if there is enough supply from those other companies. This also assumes that the other companies have a supply chain that isn't affected by tariffs. Which means each step on the chain needs to produce enough to be a reasonable alternative to tariffed imports.

Get a second opinion. You could probably get a single implant to replace the broken molar.

The only one I think is reasonable is GraphQL. But that isn't rest, and HTTP is just one of the transport layers it supports.

For anything claiming to be RESTful, it's a crime.

The article is talking about art in promo material.

Think about it: whenever you see a piece of production art featured in a social media post or a press release or a game announcement at a big televised showcase, all you ever see is the art. You never know who made it, whether it was created by an individual or a small team (or even a studio).

Two different concepts.

You're talking about work slowing because of increased overhead from more people needing to communicate and make decisions.

The OP is talking about the"bus factor". How many people can leave the project unexpectedly and still have the project survive. E.g. if only one person has access to merge changes, the bus factor is 1 regardless of how many people actively contribute.

(another pet peeve of mine is "rest" APIs that use 200 response codes for everything)

[–] davad 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yup, also some APIs use GET for everything. It's a pain. And it means that filtering by verb only helps if you're intimately familiar with the API. And even then, only if you keep up with changes as they happen. So really, only if you're developing the API yourself.

I misread the first one as "Dipshit" at first 🤣

What is "shutting down"?

Abortion should be legal in all cases

The thread replying to the parent comment is a good example of how restricting abortion access requires people to arbitrarily decide definitions of when a fetus "becomes human."

It's best to leave that decision up to the pregnant person in consultation with their medical providers.

but a fetus becomes a unique individual when there is clear, identifiable, brainwave activity.

If there's no brainwave activity, it's not a life, no matter how many weeks old pre-birth or how many years old after birth.

This is another arbitrary definition of personhood. That doesn't mean it's wrong. But there are other (equally arbitrary) definitions that are reasonable too. (And there are a bunch of unreasonable definitions, but we don't need to go into those.)

Even though mobile homes are technically mobile, moving one is expensive

And moving them might destroy them. Most aren't any more "mobile" then a regular home. The difference is that they were manufactured offsite, trucked in, then installed.

Heroic Game Launcher is pretty cool. It does game save sync with GOG games too.

 

I've used filthis.com for years to automatically grab PDFs for credit card bills, mortgage statements, bank statements, and utility bills. It's taken a lot of the headache out of archiving financial records.

I just heard FileThis is shutting in the next couple of months. Does anyone have service they use for automatically downloading this kind of stuff? I'm open to paid, free, hosted, and self-hosted projects.
