It's just a business expense, right? If you're actually going to be building a business on a domain name, it doesn't necessarily make sense to cheap out, just like any other business expense.
This looks very interesting. Though the amount of options here and in Iosevka are overwhelming.
Can you expand on your answer. How does Rust resolve this issue? Does it solve by disallowing type casts thereby preventing overflow when the number becomes negative?

Wouldn't be Microsoft without releasing 7 versions of the same thing.
Actually, I totally agree with you. This is something that we thought hard about, because our initial three guides are dominated by YC companies.

I think the main explanation is that YC companies, to a much greater extent than other companies, tend to focus on early-stage startups. As our guides are currently focused on early-stage startups, we naturally see more YC companies represented in the guides.

If anything, I'd argue that we're so aware of this that we need to consciously avoid overcorrecting in the other direction.
This is an excellent observation, thank you for the perspective. I realized that this is likely what I struggle with, and procrastination is rather a symptom of the issue. I find it very hard to make commitments to myself (and sometimes others) that I will follow through on. Once I am in a groove, I will continue, but starting is painful.

Have you dealt with rebuilding this in yourself?
I made me see that what people say/talk about might not necessarily be right or wrong.
Just metaphorical.
How would that have changed anything here?
Under Balmer, Microsoft was stuck on the idea that Windows and Office defined their market, and any strategy had to enforce their centrality.

Nadella realized that Microsoft's actual market is Business Software, and is attacking the modern software categories in that market.

Azure is the biggest example. Using their customer base and channel to sell cloud computing. Github and LinkedIn as acquisitions fitting this strategy.

Lists seems to compete in some ways with Trello and JIRA, recognizing this as an important Business Software category Microsoft can compete in and leverage connections with other Microsoft software.

Of course not. But as much as you hate it, I love it, and it turns out most of the work needed to have things our own way is shared.

Would definitely be nice to see Microsoft put more resources into supporting Rust. Go has Google’s backing and Swift has Apple’s. Would be interesting if Microsoft fully embraces Rust, but hopefully without the “extend and extinguish” part.
Haven't seen that in ages, but, then, I try to avoid installing packages from non-official repos. Distributions work hard to make sure that everything within the distro ecosystem is self-consistent.

Got about the same feeling, but then I noticed that this free personal plan allows only 5mb of file uploads as opposed to the unlimited uploads in the paid plan, which is one of my use cases – I store quite a lot of files there as a personal software archive, and then I felt relieved.
Do you think right wing media would be agitating for re-opening if Trump wasn't also doing the same?

I live in a beach town in CA. We have had only minor issues enforcing the distancing rules. Despite what you may have read in the media, the vast majority of the population supports the measures and are complying with the orders. But the few issues that we have had got a ton of news coverage. So there is a bit of a selection bias there.

An interesting detail: How does their upgrade work if you're using a customised DNS service where the customisation is detected differently in DoH compared to plain DNS?

For example NextDNS customers using DoH put a customisation parameter in the DNS URL paths (and so it's opaque to an adversary on the network) but obviously there's no URL path in conventional DNS, so does Chromium spot your NextDNS configuration and figure out the right URL path?

This article seems to be using a very specific definition of interpreter, which is perhaps not what most people think of when they hear "interpreter" ?

If I understand correctly, they call the module generating Python opcodes from Python code the "interpreter", and everything else is a "runtime". But Python opcodes are highly specific to CPython, and they are themselves interpreted, right? Calling the former "interpreter" and the latter something else seems like an artificial distinction.

Not only is this definition of "interpreter" strange, but their definition of "runtime" also seems strange; in other languages, the runtime typically refers to code that assists in very specific operations (for example, garbage collection), not code that executes dynamically generated code.
Not legally. If someone published an app on the Apple store that slandered you, Apple wouldn't be liable, even if they had profited from that app.

The goal of Section 230 is to allow companies to moderate. It was based on two cases: one where a company that tried to moderate harmful content got stuck with liability, and one where a company that did no moderation at all got off by calling itself a platform.

The point of Section 230 is that you should be able to moderate a forum you run or remove malware from the Ubuntu repositories without opening yourself up to liability. There is no exception to Section 230 based on revenue. If you put a paywall up on your forum, you don't suddenly become liable for slander that someone else posts.

I am not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice, but if you really wanted to find a way around that, probably the best strategy would be to argue that the company was purposefully disseminating unlawful content. A lot of old pirate hosting sites got hit with this. They weren't liable because they were publishers, they were liable because lawyers argued that piracy was the only reason their services existed, and that in some cases the companies had gone far as to encourage their own employees to upload pirated material.

So I'm not going to make a 100% black-and-white blanket statement; there are ways you could get around Section 230. But none of them really apply to Google. Google isn't building its own ads for Covid misinformation, and it would be hard to argue that banning the Covid keyword was evidence that they actually wanted misinformation to spread.
Colorado includes all of this information. It is useful to see it in different ways. But I have definitely found the deaths-by-date-of-death to be the most useful (it is also the most encouraging).

I purchased the artwork from Minalima, https://minalima.com/product/the-weasley-family-clock/ and used that. It's officially licensed artwork.

I consider the background a feature as it is intended to also be a Harry Potter "artifact."

Others have done custom artwork or made copies of official images (there are two variants that appear in the Harry Potter movies). I really liked this artwork, so that's what I did.

I own a bunch of domains but don't really follow the expired market...however the example expired domains in the post seem really expensive for a side project.

If I were looking to invest $5-$15k cash into marketing a random new side business and still needed an idea, it seems like it'd make more sense to follow the post's advice by watching the expired domains come through, then take the inspiration from, say, 'bakedbeans.com', but buy 'stevesbeans.com' for $7.95 and put the remaining cash into performance marketing.
It might be the case that being able to use Emacs Lisp outside of the Emacs editor in a (potentially) more robust environment designed for general purpose programming could potentially give Emacs Lisp more legitimacy as a programming language in its own right (not just "a scripting language for an editor").

However, it seems that some people have another goal in mind with the Guile-based Elisp: actually replacing Emacs Lisp, or phasing it out, or whatever. I think that is a terrible idea. I also think their goal of mixing languages inside of Emacs would have the negative consequences you describe.
Surely 'themselves' is a huge enough market, and 'boost[ing] yield & performance' is exactly what they want to do, as the world's largest CPU maker? It sounds perfect. I guess maybe financially the extra perf etc. just wasn't worth it.

I'm pretty satisfied with the package manager scoop. Scoop for now works best when you just install binary software. It is not a replacement for package managers like vcpkg yet with which you can pull dev dependencies for a project.

How does winget compare to scoop? Does it replace vcpkg/nuget/conan/...?
I'm not sure about Google, but I know that many companies segregate contractors into other buildings. At one of my previous employers pretty much everyone I interacted with was a full time employee as well, but that was only because contractors largely did not have badge access to the office and worked somewhere else.
Indeed, but once growth stops, they have increase revenue somehow.

Hmm. Maybe this story was simply marketing of "perfect" advertisement services? Or an outlier?
Another example of the people who control the data often can control the narrative that they want.

The irony that data is supposed to have more truth to it than narratives is not lost on me.

Regardless of the details of this example, it's scary how in the dark the public is for something that is insanely important to live and death.

This is hardly a surprise. Just because a bunch of screaming uneducated people demand to open the country, ( and have the support they need), doesn't mean it's the smart thing to do. Many people will be in jeopardy and it doesn't matter as long as they can keep the economy rolling. When people become so sick they can't buy things or go to work and the numbers get bigger, to big to hide...then things will get real. Everyone should be prepared for another setback because this is not going to just be...oh yeah all is back to normal guys! No worries....

for reference, a pure java version through JMH that takes 0.38 seconds on my machine. This uses parallel stream so its multithreaded.

Single threaded it takes 0.71 seconds. Removing the blackhole to allow dead code elimination takes single thread down to 0.41 seconds. This is close to PyPy, which I assume is dead code eliminating the string conversion as well.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your point, but hasn't AMD proven this wrong at this point? With a correctly architected interconnect you can absolutely do chiplet based general computation processors.

This is the best reference I've found so far on the SR-71 system (the NAS-14V2): https://airandspace.si.edu/webimages/collections/full/NAS-14...

That's some kind of flight/operational manual for the astroinertial navigation system (ANS), pretty detailed. Quite amazing that it's been declassified - you can see the link is from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. It also discusses details of how missions are loaded and planned with respect to the ANS. It also says that it has planet avoidance information, which gives you some idea of how sensitive it is (obviously the Sun and Moon are avoided).

I've not found any indication of what wavelength was used, but I would imagine the detector is a single infrared photodiode. By blocking visible atmospheric light (scattered), you can see the stars behind. Stars are point sources for all practical purposes, so you can have as large a magnification as you like without resolving them. What that means is if you have an large-aperture telescope, you'll still collect all the light from a star even if your field of view is tiny. Hence why this uses a scanning telescope to sweep around the sky.

Given the technology of the day, it's unlikely they had a multi-pixel detector (maybe a very low res array). So one approach you could use for this is two photodiodes looking slightly apart - by subtracting the signal of one from the other you might be able to correct for local atmospheric light (if the field of view is narrow enough that you don't expect two stars in the same field). Essentially a real-time dark frame. I have no idea how it actually works in practice though. I'm sure nowadays this can be done with a single wide angle camera.

It also seems like it has some strong initial conditions based on e.g. where the aircraft took off as well as references from the onboard IMU, aircraft attitude, etc. And if I read it right, the pilots can also indicate when they've reached waypoints to calibrate the system.

Domain name is one of the "trends" where being early literally pays (the other ones are crypto and making fart apps for iOS).

(Un)fortunately, what's left are ridiculouslylongnames.com that somehow still sells for a few hundred a pop. The long tail.

I'm not a fan of that. Instead, when .id was open for public, I immediately acquired generic names such as every.id, awesome.id, printed.id, even ultimate.id (notice a pattern?).

I own a few hundred in total—managing them is a headache. I've lost a handful of really good names because I forgot to renew (last-minute renewals due to limited budget and procrastination). Also, sometimes I wonder about the performance of my assets, and whether I'm profitable.

I'm building an app, Axtiva, to help manage domain names. It's not a unicorn idea, but I'm scratching my own itch. If you're in a similar situation, take a lot at https://s.id/axtiva-android-test or just put your email in https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/axtiva so I can update you when it's launched in iOS (it's a Flutter app).
They already do support Rust in a few ways, but I would always welcome even more support for sure :)
Trello… still exists?
True, but having a 3 letter domain name that sounds fast and a separate checkbook may have actually been important to growing their e-commerce business. The crazy discounts they offered when they first started and the purple boxes all had the effect of signaling to consumers (and investors) “we’re trying something new”, and now they rolled everything they learned (things lots of e-commerce sites are learning all at the same time) into their core e-commerce strategy.
>I mean, if that’s all you search then...

That's the absolute wrong way to look at it.

There is no "you". There's a cookie/advertising ID. If you're going and constantly changing out; it's back to square one.

It actually seems to be their base arrangement. Every time I 've blown away every cookie/tracker/reset my advertising ID, the ground state seems to be teenage to twenty something with a smattering of mortgage offers/weight loss/health tips/sexual dysfunction stuff that I assume is Google's equivalent of a fortune teller's cold reading in terms of trying to make a decision on which avenues to go down in order to further specialize.

I actually messed around with it once to figure out what it would do with minimal prodding and more or less random clicks. Interestingly, the mortgage click didn't really change their estimate of my age (or they just think that every male on the internet is into 20 somethings). They've never done a good job in terms of picking up on themes except when I've looked up a bunch of enterprise software documentation while logged in on Chrome, or made travel reservations.

Frankly; I find the entire process insulting in the sense that Google would likely respond "You're using our service wrong" rather than admit they've engaged in a decade long romp down digital stalker lane. If I wanted unsolicited buying advice, I'd ask for it.

They're the new Clippy in my book. Every Ad reverberates with a mental Tink Tink as the great data hoarding monolith known as Google does it's damnedest to sell me something, coming off as an Alzheimer's patient in the process.

And again, I resent the status quo being that "if I gave them more info, I'd see more relevant ads". I don't want your damn ads. I don't want my information in any form stored in your databases. Leave me alone! That includes in the statistical voyeurism sense too!

This would be the single most impactful way to return the Net to a repository of valuable information.

Kill the advertising incentive in the absence of opt-in.

But how will websites stay up without advertising, you might ask?

I don't care. I host things I want out there. I find a way to account for it. If you want to present me first party ad like the DailyWTF did for years, I'm okay with that. The third-party monetization model needs to stop though. All it encourages is bad behavior and ad revenue maximization techniques.
> Did they ever think to just ask me?

I think you misunderstand who the customer is here. What you want is irrelevant. It's what they can get you to pay for.

If you knew what you wanted, you could just type that into a search box. Clearly, the NYT display ads have other purposes. Looking at the home page now, the ones I see are to spark feelings of need and suggest a solution at the same time. Skipping right over the part where I think about needing something and figure out the best way to solve that need.

Really?

States are citing employers who are compelling sick people to come to work, or banning employees from wearing masks? Which states?

States are hiring armies of contact tracers? States are rolling out massive, free, convenient testing before reopening?

The only thing states seem to be doing is trying their best to send people back to work, regardless of whether or not their workplaces are safe, and lifting restrictions, regardless of whether or not they are ready. (Why, for instance, are the states re-opening businesses simultaneously limiting bans on large gatherings? Large gatherings are not necessary for re-opening the economy.)
