As a personal user of .xyz I couldn't agree more. People often get a chuckle at my web/email address when I give it out. Sometimes I have to repeat it because (especially non technical) people aren't expecting it to end in .xyz but often it works to my advantage. The repetition and uniqueness makes it memorable. Also .xyz is generic enough to be used for business and for personal sites. It's also not a ccTLD so I don't have to worry about registration restrictions.

But... Even with using a correctly configured major provider to deliver my mail, it gets sent to spam all the time. Which for personal email, fine. Most of my recipients know to check spam, and mark me as safe. But I know of at least one destination that flat out rejects my mail and if I were a business that'd be nightmare. Also on the web front a lot of proxy and filter providers just block .xyz all together.

When I purchased it I hoped Alphabet having abc.xyz would've helped with .xyz's reputation, but it hasn't. Oh well. Mine is for personal use so I'm willing to tolerate it. Businesses be warned though.
Brooklyn is overpriced, people are moving to Queens.
Why would you bother trying to find anything? You'd just request the book that you wanted to read.

I've taken Zurich - Budapest, and Paris - Vienna sleeper trains years ago, was a great experience. (Though the Zurich - Vienna ride is so beautiful you'll want to take a day-time train, which I have on other occasions.)

Not shown here, but I've also taken sleeper trains across Russia (Moscow - Novosibirsk) which was quite a fun experience. Get to meet all kinds of people, drink lots of tea / vodka :). Always wanted to the 7-day Moscow-Vladivostok but didn't quite make it. This was early 90s though -- no idea what the experience is like these days.
I remember when people loved Google... Like most indie games, corporate culture and shareholder priorities have sucked all the fun out of everything.

To prove your point I got borg.games for $20/yr for my p2p cloud gaming startup yesterday. Although lots of other good names were "premium" and costed upwards of $5000.
Exposure in the experiment was at the 80 micromolar level, which is about 2 grams of GenX in a typical person. That's a lot.
There's an old game fan site that had an unpronounceable five letter dot com. I made a lowball offer and since then Unregistry has periodically tried to sell me this expensive domain to me, including by setting up a fake site temporarily to make it look like it was in use.
Damn idk which I'd rather have. Some cube farms are next-level depressing. When I was younger, I think part of what made the prospect of moving out of my hometown more compelling was the fact that a giant mega-insurance company ended up being the main endpoint for CS grads. I got to visit once and it was _not_ pretty. Tightly enclosed cubes with tall aging white walls, one source of sunlight if that. They must of really liked Java.

On the flipside, the last open office I worked did provide me my own desk, but I had to hear everything that was going on around me, and when my manager wanted to micromanage me, he'd just pull up a chair. I could hear people talking, crunching chips, and smell my colleagues disgusting boiled eggs that he ate at his desk multiple times a day.
I don't remember when I've read this anecdote, I think was about Sun and X11 (or the equivalent), where employees can use the first free deskt they see and they can login from that "dumb" terminal to their actual machine (Could've been some other company, not Sun) - wonder if anyone remembers it (was it mentioned here on hny?)
No. There are lots of interventions available for possible gender dysphoria, and we have some nice options available like puberty blockers which are relatively safe.

If you change your mind, you can stop taking the puberty blockers. This is easy. You can make a reversible decision first and take whatever time you need to make the less reversible decisions later, or never.

Yeah, at the job I just left we had much less square meter space per employee in our open office than what egg laying chickens are required to have in Europe by law. We literally have it worse than farm animals in some offices.

Too much of a PITA honestly. Very heavy, and I can't just throw it in a dishwasher when it's dirty.
I buy stuff all the time from eBay. At this point, I have more trust in individual ebay sellers than I do in Amazon's weird, pooled product system whereby you have no idea if you're getting a legit product.
Yep, that's true! Thanks for adding that, it is important. As long as you can put enough money aside to cover the entire COBRA period, this is indeed the best "play" when offered COBRA, unless you're sure you're gonna need it from the beginning (in which case you may as well just sign up to begin with—less hassle that way). If you don't end up needing it, you basically just got free health insurance for a few months.
Good question, I don't know the answer. But I can give you some more info on this project: the company, one of the largest freighters operating out of Schiphol already had such software but they had lost the source code. The assignment was to create a new piece of software that produced exactly identical output. That was the bar to clear. If not for a friend (who got me the job in the first place!) who managed to decrypt the original (it was apparently written in some variation of BASIC with an obfuscation layer but once you had it reversed it would actually list as source) I would likely have never managed to complete the assignment. But once I had that in hand it was much, much easier because I could read all of the original tables.

One of the bigger problems I encountered was that the original software wasn't perfect, so the first step was to replicate it, bugs and all and only then to fix the bugs. So the FAA never entered into it but the Dutch equivalent did. Also, I think there is a big difference in stuff in use in GA versus that which is used for commercial aviation. We're talking early 90's or so, so the details are a bit hazy by now.

Interesting job though, that's for sure, lots of good lessons from that one. I'd never been sent back four or five times by an auditor because my work wasn't up to their standards and every time they sent me back they had a valid point, it wasn't bs just to check a box somewhere, they had valid concerns and I had to rework some of it quite extensively. At the level of "I don't care if the answer is correct, I need to understand why it is correct".

In what is interesting, TikTok / ByteDance was on an absolute hiring spree for devs October to January for sure, while most other tech companies took the back seat or did cuts. Here’s data I got my hands on, comparing the number of “software engineer” positions at companies and ByteDance stands out unmissably:

https://twitter.com/gergelyorosz/status/1628831860611506178

Makes me wonder how they missed the memo that Meta got by October/November, Google and Amazon also by end of year: that the market is slowing.

I assumed Bytedance had just as good - if not better - data on the market than eg Meta, but Meta seems to have responded far far earlier to what looks like a stagnating market for as spend, than TikTok.
to the extent possible, it may make sense to just have multiple banks/accounts anyway. i use a big megacorp bank, my wife has money at a small local bank, we have other money in some online accounts. most stuff is handled day to day via one main account, but I've had cards suspended out of the blue in the past, and having 'all eggs in one basket' seems to be what often bites a lot of people when something causes a bank to freeze/suspend an account.
Their moat is on transferring data out of AWS (and GCP, Azure, etc). A competitor would have to be cheaper as to pay the migration out first.

Sure, if you have TB-scale data it is still doable, but once you reach PB-scale it's better to negotiate an EDP rather than move out.
What can’t you get Sublime to do that VSCode can? I’m

Have you tried using a process manager like supervisord[1] or pm2[2]? The former has a pretty clean declarative interface that you could view as a replacement for something like a docker-compose file or a k8s pod config.

Thanks, but no thanks.
Today (but perhaps slightly less in 2016, not sure) you could easily imagine a microcontroller (or FPGA) with a microphone that bugs you, but encodes that audio (using steganography) onto a canned audio file of elevator music, and then sends the result over the network "in the open".

To a casual observer snooping the relevant network, it would probably (as here) look as elevator music, but to the intended recipient who can decode the steganography, it would be a covert listening device.
As a fellow Nigerian also residing in Nigeria, I must add that things are even more nuanced than they seem.

- We’ve had an ugly history of military rule, post-colonization.
- During the colonial period a specific region of the country[1] produced quite a number of leaders, both colonial and post-colonial era; it’s almost 63 years of independence and that region now has the highest population, higher unemployment, child illiteracy, and poverty rates in the country[2].

Thanks to this massive population and frequent election racketeering, immense political power seemingly resides with people from that region and nepotism has become the order of the day.
So we now have a case of leaders who care less about establishing functional institutions or a sustainable culture and are much more concerned with maintaining power. It’s depressing.

Pretty unlikely for two people to share ergonomic settings across the desk hardware. If you've been in this industry long enough you've got to be careful about wrist, neck, leg, and eye strain and that often boils down to setting your chair and monitor just so, and customized ergonomic peripherals.

A policy like this is biased against older and differently abled employees whether that was the intention or not.

One thing that would probably make this adoption fodder for the custom Arch Linux & r/LinuxPorn communities is if it were just a desktop that side scrolled with parallax. Those folks seem to strongly reward anything even remotely 8-bit. I get that drops the mouse-driven parallax, just an idea.
There were a lot of other good things going that masked these. The recent "PR botch ups" are creating more damage. The most famous e.g. is reacting to ChatGPT's hype and rushing to do a demo and then messing it up. It wasn't so much messing up the demo that caught they eye; it was how Google rushed/reacted to do it esp. when Google is considered to be at the forefront of AI. Again, optics. Besides Sundar hasn't come out with anything impressive in the last few years. It's ok to just keep the lights on, but at least don't create bad optics.

> The Danelaw is also pretty interesting, but what I personally find even more interesting is the colonization and settlements in Ireland by vikings. Dublin, Cork, the Isle of Man and much more was settled by vikings. The Danelaw and settlements caused words from Old Norse to become fairly influential on English.

I'd say this is almost an understatement[0], its rather shocking how many very average, day-to-day intellectual items are Norse in origin. Almost as if English is some sort of creole when you add the massive simplification of Old English on the way to Middle English; the Norman host was a tiny fraction of the population of speakers in England.

I /thought/ I had seen more examples of where it was a good data structure, but I can't find those offhand. :(
>increase in the standards of living for millions of empoverished and exploited russians, chinese and cubans

And to think, it only cost the lives of tens of millions of 'Russians'!

And that "educational effort" to steer children to denounce their own families and parents, commiting them to execution. That only cost tens of millions of Chinese lives too.

So despite your sarcasm, you seem to have provided exactly that information many already know: the achievements of communism are more important to communists than lives, but they are happy to use others lives both to justify their own actions and measure the success of communism!

Bewildering

This is actually a myth. See the changing of hands of sex.com. Also, Domain names are being less important as users stay within apps / content platforms like FB, Instagram and TikTok. Also Google Search and soon ChatGPT.
There's a lot of people who grew up in the region you did who come to the weat and are suspicious and downright dismissive of many leftist ideals. That's a shame. Your experiences don't invalidate their talking points and it is still the most logical things to strive for if we want the US (or really any) country to do better.

One side is trying to force crayons as coins into a washing machine (that doesn't have a payment mechanism) to pay for laundry, the other is being fanciful and naive in some of their goals for a better tomorrow.

The two sides are not alike.

It will be interesting to see if we have to take extra steps to verify we are on any non-physically present communications. Email is already suspect. Phone calls are next.

On the plus side, it will help enable things like proper double blind interviews, to allow for gender bias free interviews. It will also help anonymity, or people with disabilities.

I think it's smart to frame this as an anti-poverty issue. People often imagine "suburban" families falling victim to overreaching child neglect laws and enforcement. In fact poor children are separated from their families for reasons of child welfare far more often than non-poor kids. (Of course, this ends up affecting black families disproportionately.) Families are being broken up in the US for the crime of being poor.

> its just that number-of-people * odds-someone-breaks-the-lie * time conspiracy would have to be held means that conspiracies that have a lot of people in the loop for a long time are unlikely to go unexposed

It's also very easy to overestimate the likelihood of discovery, since it turns out all of these factors are correlated.

Remember, the conspiracies you find out about are, by definition, the ones that didn't stay secret. Now consider how many secrets you keep, and how many secrets of comparable magnitude you know about arbitrary other people.
Parking spaces in US cities can get smaller the closer you get to the central business district. Eventually they're marked as 'Compact' so hopefully only those in compact cars will attempt to use them. If Lithium-Air batteries enabled widespread adoption of EVs over ICE vehicles, but at the cost of requiring longer vehicles, would enlarging parking spaces be an acceptable cost?

I think the place will change either way. Either because renters have been pushed out, or because the population has increased with a ton of new people, requiring functional changes (the neighborhood market has become a whole foods, etc.), or both.

I shudder every time I see a thread related to this topic (child protective services making insane decisions with no oversight, because the law is vague enough to let them do so).
double check your statements now and then - if you don't already. i had a biz acct and my home account, and would get dinged "service charges" on home account if it was below ... $500 for too long. Biz account had 30x that in there - far more than their min requirements, and I was told they were 'linked'. 2x in 3 years, they "got unlinked" and I was getting various $39 service fees on the home account. "Oh, so sorry, here... we linked again - we'll waive the fee"... months later... same thing. Less for you specifically OP and more just a general warning.
those suggestions all seem way more over-engineered than just using multicast packets
> It's easy to verify how ebay chat works.

It's actually not. I just signed in to my ebay account for the first time in a long time, and I had to verify by both email and SMS before I could do anything, which is a pain and made me regret this whole endeavor. And it turned out that I never needed to contact ebay support, so I had no chat transcripts.

Moreover, this assumes there's only one way that ebay chat works, when there are multiple platforms, browsers, apps, etc.
> Also, while identity theft sucks, getting your password stolen is painless, whereas someone chopping off your thumbs to squish them up to an ATM machine is a less pleasant experience.

This is not a real distinction if they are physically present and willing to use that level of violence. It reminds me of the password XKCD -- doesn't matter what your password is or how recently it's been changed if they're willing to beat it out of you with a wrench.
Let me put it this way, you can break flakes off of PTFE pans and swallow them and nothing will happen to you. They will just pass through your digestive system. You will not get some kind of cancer just from this alone. Don’t listen to the lobbyists.
