Free speech cannot exist with free speech and so a line is drawn. That line is that a person can say whatever they want but they cannot force people to listen. Forcing people to listen to free speech violates free speech. You don't deserve a platform for free speech.


Postman has become so bloated in the past two years to a degree where I don’t enjoy using it anymore. Anyone know of an alternative that keeps it simple?


I use this thing: https://insomnia.rest/


I've been using Insomnia instead, but it's also Electron I believe.


In my experience, that’s the exact sort of errors that a QA team our position tests for.


Their comment meant that QA don't test for the kinds of errors (safety) rust protects against.


How's it different from a generation that grew up with books?


I recommend you take a look at the way kids hold their phones when doing "serious" fast-paced gaming. The 4 finger claw grip[0] is not very comfortable in the long term. I'm guessing it'll be fine for teenagers, but beyond that I could see it causing issues.

Books are way less addictive across the board in my experience. You might find a handful of people consuming them to the point of harm, but when you add together all of the addictive activities on a phone/tablet there's no question IMO


Books you aren't repeatedly stabbing with a finger.


Depends on how much you argue with the authors.


> Female soccer players make less money because less people watch and there is less money

I think this is a great example! The US women's soccer team is better than the men's but they make a fraction of the money. It's not their fault that sports have a sexist history that influences viewership, ad revenue, and ultimately their salaries.


It's not "sexist history", it's just that men are better at (almost all) sports. Male football is simply more exciting to watch (I imagine, for broader audiences... it's boring to me, in general). For modeling, it's the reverse.


How is men’s soccer more exciting to watch rather than woman’s soccer? It’s literally people kicking a ball around. Does the ball explode if you are a man and kicking it?



Well, I can tell the difference. Men look more aggressive and professional overall. I mean, the US women national team lost to kids etc, so you tell me.

We have some women teams here in Spain, and while there's some movement in the league honestly it feels... like watching amateurish football. I guess they need time to catch on, but meanwhile it's not very appealing.


lol no, but the men kick the ball harder?


There was a time when women weren't allowed to play professional soccer. It can't not have a sexist history.


the sexist history is that people prefer watching better athletes.


Women can be just as athletic as men, and can easily beat them in many sports. It just depends on the sport. If the sport requires upper-body strength, forget it: men will always have a huge advantage here. But if upper-body strength is no help, and lower-body strength and endurance are important, women can do better. Off the top of my head, I'd point to endurance running: women have longer legs proportionally, and more fat reserves, and don't have to waste a lot of energy carrying around a lot of chest/arm muscles and bigger upper-body bones. They can also do well in downhill skiing, bicycling, etc.

Also, over in Tennessee, the UT women's basketball team has been much, much more popular for decades now than the men's team ever was.


How well does the page render on a legacy version of IE running on a Mac?


I use both and have contributed to the IntelliJ extension. I haven’t noticed any functional difference between the two extensions and they both fit all my use cases.


How dare you assume that this is something we can change! These men are discussing numbers and figures and you’re out here with ideas that defy statistics!


I was enjoying the irony of reading the article on safari only to have it cut off so they can ask me for my personal information to track me.


It's a paywalled site. They're not tracking you other than to ask you to pay for the content. This will only become more common as sites shift from ad revenue to subscriptions.


I’m not too sure about that. There’s no guarantee they won’t both get your payment and then track you (with confirmed personal details you provided during payment).


Alternatively, if you do tell the offending internal app to stop via the system toggle, it stops.
