That's always the excuse for piss-poor post titles.

Thanks for the reply, but I've read HN almost daily for years and have been a professional developer for way longer than that. I also just finished an API-definition project that involved a ton of research on API design and code-generation tooling (with OpenAPI in particular).

I have never heard of "caniuse." Swagger? Postman? Mocking tools and services? Lots of their ilk? Sure. In fact just recently I saw this API article posted here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40161794

That should be up to the recipient. Every other vendor provides this essential information in order confirmations.

Amazon's refusal to do so means you can't search your E-mail history for purchases (at tax time, for example). Or for warranty info or service. You may not know where you bought a particular item. Or which Amazon account you might have used.

If everyone followed Amazon's anti-customer example, you'd have to log into every E-commerce site you ever bought something from and search your order history... year by year... to find something. Unacceptable BS.

RTF was invented in 1987.

It doesn't say that. It merely says this thing is like another undescribed thing.

At first I thought it was some kind of service for dog owners, until I noticed the missing N. So... that left no explanation.

Amazon deserves zero credit for anything regarding E-mail, because their "order confirmations" don't say WHAT YOU ORDERED.

Mind-bogglingly stupid and annoying.

RTF would be fine, then.

What are you talking about?

Why shouldn't people be allowed to choose what kind of neighborhood they want to live in? If you want high density, then choose a high-density area. If not, choose a single-family area. Those areas can be (and are) defined by zoning.

Corporations buying up neighborhoods is a problem regardless of whether it applies in this case or not.

Corporations don't die and turn their houses over to kids. Home ownership is widely regarded as the best way to build wealth, and corporate buy-ups are making an already difficult market permanently off-limits to millions of Americans.

But are politicians acting on that? No. They're busy passing corrupt developer-handout legislation like CA's (recently struck-down) SB 9.

We have a chance to stop this scourge before it's too late. Have you called your representatives about it?

Swiping doesn't match people. It's simply a (usually shitty) UI affordance for the user to progress through the application.

I don't think he's making it more difficult. How is automatic "more difficult" than manually typing in your city?
