Haven't learned much from this post.


Agreed. 9/10 times you don't need this abstraction just yet. But you can write code in such a way that it's easy to abstract, if such need arises.


And rightly so, because noone writes prose like that. It sounds unnatural.


This is a completely stereotypical and offensive view of extraverted people. You conflated them with loud and inconsiderate individuals. I suggest you read up on what extraversion is, because it's not pestering random people with small talk.


That's why the UE law that requires the shops to display the lowest price over last 30 days is pretty useful


Eu directive 2019/2161, which regulates this, was supposed to be in effect since 28.5.2022, but I see nothing on local retailers webpages, nor in physical stores ):


It seems that in France around 96% of the advertised price do not comply with this directive. We need more fines.

Seems easy to game by just pretending you're selling a different product every time you change the price.

I worked at a company that did this with digital goods.


That might work with complex electronics, but it sure as shit wont work with most groceries.


Why is a carrot grown on May 1 not different from a carrot grown on May 2?


It already does.


The RFCs are clear that a server should ignore any body sent by a client after a GET request header. But RFCs don't matter; real life matters, and in real life there are lots of HTTP clients that can't make a GET request with a body. We had to go into our API and add POST support to every endpoint that was GET + body because there was a long tail of clients that couldn't manage to make the GET request. In practice, support is NOT widespread enough to rely on GET + body requests.


Sort of, but it’s not that solid: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9110#name-get

(paragraph starting “Although request message framing is independent of the method used”)


It’s not exhaustive though. Many servers and proxies support it, but not all. For instance, GCP load balancers do not, but ALB does. At least that was case a few years ago.


As a side note: the culture or installing stuff via curl is like a virus. If you check the npm docs, they say "We strongly recommend using a Node version manager like nvm to install Node.js and npm". Then if you check nvm docs, the primary installation method is curl to bash, and not even from their official website - it pulls stuff from github...
