Shouldn't there be a comma after "business"? I read it wrong the first time.
No. That would not be correct, grammatically speaking.
It would be grammatically correct, with different semantics.

Auth requests are for a new session ID, not a new user ID. It's a (C)reate in CRUD, not an (U)pdate. POST - Create, GET - Retrieve, PUT - Update, DELETE - Delete
The protocol could be: CREATE /xxx READ /zzz UPDATE /yyy DELETE /abcd
Isn't it already supported by REST?
CREATE: POST
READ: GET (or QUERY if body is needed)
UPDATE: PUT for full update, PATCH for partial update
DELETE: DELETE

#64Imagine having a hobby project, installed on billions of devices. MBA: they must be making 10B$/year? Engineer: no, this is just a hobby
We're living at the bottom of a gravity well, so we don't pay for air.
Once upon a time, even economists thought that automation could make food, shelter, and routine health care too cheap to meter; in such a world would we then be interacting with each other —as the XIX aristocracy did?— chiefly via shared interests and hobbies?

You don't see why Firefox refusing to connect would be annoying? I don't care whether the blog about curl is encrypted in transit or not and I do care about a forced change to chrome to see the content.
I can visit it in Firefox 123 just fine. Tests like [1] say the site works on everything from Firefox 31 to Firefox 73. You're probably the target of a MITM attack. Or you've done something weird, like taking a job with an employer that MITMs your web traffic then refusing to install their MITM certificates.

I once was talking to somebody who was a brother in law staying on the couch sort of deal.
They were complaining that their battery life on their phone just got decimated recently and kept dying over and over. I believe I was helping to troubleshoot, so I had them turn on airplane mode, he flipped it and complaining of something else annoying happening and saying oh yeah my phone airplane mode doesn't work, I still get internet. I was totally baffled, it was all very weird to me.
A little bit of time later that person got busted as a part of a big local drug bust. I'm assuming that's how they tap phones.

#67> while curl is my hobby, I also work on curl as a full-time job. It is a business and I serve and communicate with many customers on a daily basis. While it's not my business, I still wonder how this business looks like. Is curl sponsored? If so, is this a common thing for foundational tools alike?
From Daniel's contact page: > Just don’t send me private emails about the open source projects I participate in – unless you want to pay for commercial and private support! So it's support basically, I suppose.
So who do I email when I'm angry at my car's screen and get lost at the "open source licenses" screen?

Sounds like their ISP, Vodafone, is MITM-ing them. It's well-reported over the past many years that they do this, though whether its malicious or incompetent is unknown.

#70If a man knows how to save the world from imminent asteroid impact, how much should he be paid?
If he does it without pay but asks afterwards for pay commensurate with delivered value, how much should he be paid?
Who pays it?
