There is some truth to this - staying on the bleeding edge exposes you to things earlier.

Not really surprising, but maybe a consequence people who want to be on the latest version immediately did not consider. Good article!

Nice set of comparisons. Been a while since I've seen these kinds of articles.

This looks interesting, but I don't particularly want another client app for this when we can "just use curl" and have that in files (already very git-friendly)?

This will not help many, but I've found a good way that helps me and my team, since we're all in VSCode most of the time anyway. The extension "REST client" lets us write HTTP calls directly in a file and run them from there, with some basic variables and support for different kinds of authentication scheme and environment variables. It has replaced POSTman and Bruno for us: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.rest-client

If you're not already using a vscode based IDE this won't help you at all, sure. But, if you are - this lets you write up sequences of requests in a (still manual, but quite quick) file to test APIs and play with them. Highly recommended!

Current evaluation is about 720M USD I believe. At 20 USD per person, that implies there are 36M persons in this thread.

Lemmy had gotten BIG!

I think they're talking about Europa, the water-nymph and consort of Zeus.

I did not know she was that into milk packaging, but that's cool.

it's like being an atheist and therefore not caring about the details of transsubstantiation. irrelevance.

you think I don't know this - I know I don't care about it

aren't all of them "do a short pause"?

not actually a hyphen, a minus (not that this matters to me in the slightest)

I'm sorry, but "the pause is too weak" sounds squarely in the area of faffery to me.

dashes cannot always replace commas, but commas can replace dashes.

thus - commas are more powerful

thus, commas are more powerful
