Many comments so far seem to imply (perhaps not intentionally) that this syntax was intended only on the "right side" of the URI, but you can think of it more as adding qualifier-like information to (potentially) each path segment. So in /com/foo/bar you could further qualify foo (perhaps as /com/foo;color=yellow/bar). This can be combined with a (definitionally trailing) query string as well. Someone noted that Spring implements some support for this; the Eclipse Foundation's Jersey (Java REST toolkit) does as well if I remember right.

This was the absolute golden age of Car and Driver. David E. Davis Jr. was the editor; he later departed to found Automobile magazine.

Interesting note: the JDK deliberately randomizes iteration order of certain immutable sets and maps (https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/jdk-23%2B37/src/java.bas...).

One thing many don't talk about is the social aspect of getting a concussion. An acquaintance has decided to try to do something about that: https://concussionbox.org/ (Disclaimer: no involvement/attachment with the site, just thought it was relevant here.)

Does this make Gates and Bezos the Lords of KoBold (hear our prayer)?

You want to make sure you're using PYREX, not pyrex. They're different![1]

AnyList (https://www.anylist.com/). Streamlines grocery shopping and the paid version is absolutely worth the money. ~$15/year for a family.

I also like https://technicshistory.com/2021/02/18/the-age-of-steam-intr..., which points in part to metal purity and engineering tolerances.

What a masterful headline.

Indeed. “of” infected Java with the awful naming conventions imposed by java.time (and to a lesser degree java.nio) because “new” is a keyword and doing “newThing” instead was not in vogue. Now it smacks of the worst kind of hipster disease and is going to enter java.lang for no good reason at all. What’s wrong with “newPlatformThread” or something similar? This shouldn’t have survived the initial sniff test.

How do I put this? We are all going to be forgotten, utterly, along with every last thing we do, within no more than three generations (one for most of us). That makes everything we do both utterly insignificant and unfathomably important at the same time. Please make sure whoever is reading this, particularly if you're in your 20s, that you do what makes sense for you, and those around you who are important to you, for your very, very short now.
