This is why I’m not a fan of REST, the whole as possible part is meaningless. It could be an api that’s 99% REST with a few well thought out methods for common actions that aren’t quite REST, or it could be a mess of an api that uses PUT occasionally.
Self documenting at an application api level is not really possible. What I’d rather have is consistency and predictability, which is impossible in a REST as possible system.
There’s also value in treating http as just a transport later. It can give you clear boundaries, 200 the app processed the request, anything else the app didn’t process it.
Yes most things are crud if you zoom out enough that doesn’t mean REST is just fine. The scope is larger now, the states are more complex and interrelated, relationships are more complex, data privacy laws can affect the physical implementation. REST also has a lot of baggage that leads to excessive bike shedding, or refusal to allow useful endpoints that aren’t sufficiently restful. Proponents also tend to be more concerned with the purity of the api than the usability and effectiveness of it
Yes I’d rather have a self defined standard that accurately covers the scope of an application and it’s use cases than stretch an old standard design for basic hierarchical text docs to work for a modern application.
The people that decide which rules are important or not when designing a “REST” api are generally insufferable as well.
I’d rather see this than actual rest or the more popular use the bits of rest that are convenient.
That’s likely what is preventing any new subscription based mmo. Why bother with a reliable and fair price when lootbox bullshit makes you 10x the money.
It was true if you didn’t spend too much, DVD sales bailed out a lot of bad movies, but streaming doesn’t have the same direct revenue.
Only if you live in a super specific climate that you could grow enough variety of plants or drastically change the definition of homesteading.
It’s not about need it’s about efficiency. Milk lets you get calories, especially protein in a way that doesn’t kill the animal with less effort than hunting and gathering. That allows for a time and labor surplus that can enable specialization and society as a whole to exist. It’s not just drinking, butter, cheese, baking, and fermentation with it are super common uses.
A large part is fear of rejection and you are paying for an AI girlfriend anyway, it gets pretty blurry.
Is it? Prostitution has existed since forever. Women as property is still a cultural norm in some countries that exist today. We are within living memory of marital rape becoming a crime in the US.
ME1 is playable if you pick a gun focused class. The caster classes are brutal to play. 2 is a bit better for casters, but ammo and cover mechanics get annoying. 3 is pretty good but has the weakest story and the space exploration is the most annoying.
Gacha has gotten out of hand. I played one for a year or two a long time ago and don’t regret it, but it was far more generous than anything today. It used to be a fun genre to download a game and play for a day or two with all the free stuff, but even that hasn’t been true for a while with all the dark patterns they use in these games now.
Definitely avoid monster hunter if ambiguous hit boxes aren’t your thing.
You can watch the story on YouTube if you want. Other games did the formula better now. The “shadow of” games and horizon series are very similar gameplay loops done better.
People who make shitty movies like to blame fatigue or wokeness or racism instead of the root cause of poorly written stories.
That’s actually a big number. There are people that haven’t seen CDs or DVDs.
Those bills were part of the problem, they front loaded a ton of spending with the hope of massive returns in a decade. Now that Trump killed any chance of success it really sucks.
Natural Selection 2 is still an awesome game with a pratically unique gameplay. It’s an RTS/FPS hybrid with asymmetrical teams. It’s worth checking out if you can handle a bit of a learning curve.
