You wanna see me cry or something?

I'm willing to bet that at least four-fifths of it is either:
- Whitespace.
- Poorly sized or positioned graphics.
- About things related to the item, but not about the item itself.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Same here.
But my "MPLAB Harmony Help" is only about 4339 pages weighing 18MB.
What are they hiding from me?

I just got a follower on Twitter who is promoting some free ebook about entrepreneurship/marketing/whatever I'm not sure.
So I decided to go and have a look. What I found was just... Well, see for yourself[^] 
When I wanted to click on a course the site got blocked by uBlock.
I see quite some "Good job" comments though.
And some guy named Thaipat really wants you to join Yofoto, whatever that is.
But seriously, having a book on marketing and market it on that website!?

It is hideous. And clearly lots of people are talking about it so the first half of marketing (getting noticed) has succeeded. Now, for the second half of marketing (sales), it's not likely to be too successful there.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I remember seeing some "worst commercial awards" on television a few years ago. The guy who won for most annoying commercial was really very happy and excited about it, because at least he got noticed and people knew it so well he got an award
I guess that's one way to look at it.
At least his commercial wasn't in Comic Sans though

Don't mess with Comic Sans, it was pretty pro back in high school! 
I've actually written some reports in Comic Sans, but that was over ten years ago already...

2005. Seems like yesterday, that IDE.
Comic Sans was already a pest[^] well before the internet.

I think it was René Descarte who wrote "Cogito ergo Comic Sans", or "I Comic Sans, therefore I am not."
That was back in the 17th century.
But let us not forget how deeply rooted Comic Sans really is.
Of course Plato already mentioned "That man is wisest who, like Socrates, realizes that his Comic Sans is worthless" somewhere in the 4th century B.C.!
But he only refers to Socrates' works, in which he states "The only thing I know is that I know Comic Sans is nothing" almost a century earlier.
And let's not forget Jesus has taken upon him our sins, for we hath used Comic Sans!
Alas, we have learnt nothing!

I am building a static version of cURL with all dependencies. If anyone wants it, I can upload it somewhere and post a link.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I did at some point. These days I just use Fiddler.
|
|
|
|

I liked fiddler but found Eric Law to be of a know it all when asked a question and the last version kept crashing for me.
Setting a proxy changes the GET Url and often I want to watch odd ports or even UDP when working with security so I use my own noddy version of Wireshark to peek the netwoork traffic but i would not know what a cUrl is if one bit me.
Not sure if HTML5 Web-Sockets will by-pass proxy server setting but you can bet I will soon be looking because i hate being tracked.

I use Fiddler, but have not had to do anything "funky" with it. So my use of it is pretty standard, I guess. Typical Gets, puts, and posts.
