And then other businesses that have “too good” numbers buy those failing businesses and let them go bankrupt to use as larger write-offs and get tax rebates.

Programming@programming.dev•Voiden - A Markdown based Open Source Alternative to Postman
2·5 months agoThis 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!

I did not know she was that into milk packaging, but that’s cool.
The ocean is BIG. Chance of something big enough to be interested in you discovering you and deciding to eat you in 30 seconds is minuscule.
Sharks aren’t mindless chomping machines.
Cthulhu might be problematic, though.
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
em dashes are typographical faffery and have always been (in my opinion) a marker of writers who take themselves, and the surface level of their style, far too serious.
just use commas, my friend

75·9 months ago“Steep learning curve” means quick to learn, not difficult. The curve is learning over time. If the curve is steep there is much learning over short time.
Doesn’t mean easy nor hard, just quick.
