It was disappointingly easy

Wrong thread?

I was hoping this was going to be a chess variant where you're not allowed to move any of the pieces.

no.

Finally got a build, at least on my machine the features are still there except you can't right click on the list items any more, you have to click the little ▼ next to the item.

Insomnia already does this, at least did as of version 2022.6.0. Right click on the name of the request in the sidebar to find "copy as curl" and "generate code", Ctrl+Shift+G also brings up the Generate Code interface.

I'll check if the more up to date version that insomnium is based on has the same feature once I get it built.

I guess I haven't updated insomnia in a while or something as I was blissfully unaware that I needed a replacement until just now. Looks good!

Allegedly

No.

I mean that's almost exactly what happened with cold fusion, not faking so much as convincing yourself. What's the Feynman quote? "The first rule is do not fool yourself and you're the easiest person to fool" - something like that anyway.

What we used to call softcore pornography

I installed it months ago as a joke and have been using it ever since. Curly K master race.

I thought this was going to have something to do with the wangwriter[0]

You see it everywhere, I see it occasionally.

I mean, in that it came out of Sun, kind of I guess.

Just think of the coolant temperature advantages

This is great

A good overview for the uninitiated (in my thoroughly uninformed opinion)

Maybe you could come up with some kind of analog encoding of the original audio levels and store that on the tape instead.

Serpentine!

I like nb[0] which is obviously super different in approach but similar in intent.

What are you, Justin Trudeau?

I have long been known to say, and I will continue to insist, that a semester long film school course could be taught on this scene alone.

Didn't almost all of Ma Bell end up inside the deathstar eventually anyway? [0]

My favourite possibly apocryphal Picasso moment[0] has to do with just that painting. I saw it myself at the Reina Sophia some years ago and found it quite stunning.

Brex was pretty rude to me in twitter DMs about two and a half months ago when I had had trouble trying to sign my startup up for their services. They said that my business wasn't appropriate for their service even though they had no information about what my business is or was, and when I asked for details they said that couldn't be shared with me.

Parts of my messages to them are pasted below, the responses were to say the least unhelpful.

> ...We tried to apply for a Brex account last night but our application was automatically declined with no explanation as to why. I have read your FAQ closely and believe this must be a mistake as your company claims to be essentially designed for scalable software start-up companies, even prior to incorporation and without so much as a website. We are incorporated, have a website, and have a significant codebase already. Please let me know if you can figure out whether this was a mistake or not, and if not by what criteria we were disqualified.

> Your team's response does not answer any of my questions. It's just a longer version of the automated response given by the website in the first place. Your marketing disagrees entirely with your company's actual behavior.

> I don't think you are [sorry]. You have no idea what my business is or how it operates. You have no way of knowing that information and therefore no way of making that determination now or at any time in the future. Your website is completely contradictory to your behavior. If I ever do manage to get ahold of anyone accountable in your organisation I will be sure to share screenshots of this completely user hostile customer service. If not, I'll be sure to publicize these interactions when my company has found someone more reasonable with whom to do business. I'm literally trying to give you money and being refused for reasons which cannot be shared with myself. This is absurd and exactly why people hate bankers. Isn't this exactly what you people set out to change?...
