I’ve been jobless for a year and recently found a job again as well. After my first day I was so exhausted, it was unbelievable. I literally came home after work, made and had some food, chilled on discord with a friend for an hour and was already too tired, so I went to bed after being awake for about 12h.

Starting a new job, a new chapter of your life is exhausting. You learn a lot of new things, you get a lot of new impressions. All this requires the gray matter in your skull to work pretty hard.

Now, even with mentally demanding jobs, you’ll form routines that make things easier. Not just stuff like a morning routine or your route to work, but also work processes become easier after you get into the groove. On top of that, with time there are less new things you need to remember, like names of your coworkers, your offices layout, or what bus to take.

It gets easier with time. Hang in there.

I don’t think anyone was saying it’s impossible, just that it needs standardization. I imagine windows is more appealing to companies when it is easier to find admins than if they were to use some specific linux system where only a few people are skilled to manage it.

Having more beautiful and structured URLs. I suppose for those cases it’s more of a preference, and with the tooling I use (.NET) it’s not too difficult to achieve.

I guess my gripe with your original statement was that I was thinking mostly of state like user login etc. I have to concede it’s not totally garbage for the cases you mentioned.

omg thanks for this

have multiple routes point to the same endpoint, dynamically adding the parameters serverside

I disagree. I definitely prefer REST APIs that use the file path for searches, filters, sorting. You get most if not all benefits from query parameters, and if done correctly it is just as clearly readable as query params.

As a WebDev… URL parameters are definitely not the place to keep state… Were not in the 00’s anymore. They do have legit uses, but we have JS localStorage nowadays.

Oh, nice! That’s definitely valuable info. Personally, I do think it’s too much work to implement that properly, though.

Fair enough, I haven’t given that too much thought myself until now. After playing around with Firefox’s URL cleaning, I realized there are some parameters I want to keep. So, by clean I mean removing all unnecessary parameters in the URL.

For example, https://youtu.be/jNQXAC9IVRw would become https://youtu.be/jNQXAC9IVRw, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw keeps it’s parameter, because it is necessary.

I guess replicating the logic for deciding which parameters to keep is not trivial, so the easiest solution is probably just manually pasting links into firefox, and just copying them cleanly from there. Thanks for providing some code, though!

Yup, you can just edit the amount of items you scanned. Also makes it easier to “scan” an item in bulk.

They dont check the cart weight, instead they just randomly pick out people where they go through their scanned items and check that nothing else is in the cart. I’m being checked about once every 20 times I go.

Thank you for doing the same :)

I’m not looking to argue either, I’m just trying to share how I see things, so this feels more like a discussion to me.

I mean yeah, I don’t think anyone can argue against the convenience of modern technology. I just think we’d be fine without smartphones.

Instead of a boom box or a radio (which weren’t really meant to be portable anyways) you could use an mp3 player, by now they’d probably have Bluetooth as well.

I know some people who carry around dedicated calculators despite having a smartphone, so I think if you need it somewhat regularly, you’d just have it with you. And if you don’t have it with you, your calculations are probably not that important and urgent, so you could do them at home if necessary.

Regarding landlines, there’s barely any situation where I feel the need to contact someone right in that moment, so a landline with a voicemail would be fine most of the time.

Long story short, all I’m trying to say is that smartphones have replaced a lot of things that were fine, not just alarm clocks, and I don’t see why they ‘deserved it the least’. I do understand that I can’t expect a shower thought to go that deep though.

My default android alam let’s you use a Spotify playlist. Sadly not with local music tho

They did one thing and they were fine at it.

so were radios, calculators, landline phones etc

That adventure was oddly specific. You okay bud? Need to get rid of some clown pants or something?

If a four dimensional world exists, and if there are intelligent beings there, I would imagine so, yes.

only if one of them manages to flip in the third dimension, which shouldn’t be possible in a two dimensional world. everything else will be able to be solved by translations and rotations (assuming there is enough room to move around)

edit: oh, I get it now. they wouldn’t be able to snap together because the noses are thicker than the holes they need to get into. duh

Bad Flowey!
