Ask HN: Recommendations for a New Domain Registrar?
With the announcement of Google Domains shutting down and being sold off to Squarespace, I find myself losing the one registrar I had any trust in. In retrospect it was REALLY dumb of me to trust that a Google product that wasn't Ads/Youtube/Search to not shut down, but here I am.

I dunno much about Squarespace -- haven't used them at all, since I prefer making my own websites/apps -- so I'm leery about using a registrar that's so focused on products and addons and other stuff.

I'm looking for recommendations for a registrar that:

- Has a reasonably modern interface
- Has easy to use DNS settings etc
- Has modern features (WHOIS protection etc), preferably built-in without needing to pay out the ass
- Doesn't have scummy practices (*cough* GODADDY *cough* GANDI *cough*)

Thanks ahead of time!

You could alter the video timings on the Jornada a bit, by writing to the video chip registers directly. That would slightly improve its abysmal contrast ratio.
Id like to see always visible scrollbar. So called no-bullshit type. With buttons of course. No scroll overlay or whatever other random nonsense.
I think this is EXACTLY the problem with algorithms and AIs to build an index. You don't have a human in the loop to go "ok, enough of this bullshit, if you keep doing this we're going to ban you from our service."

The whole "ladder climb to first place" ruined search results. There was nothing wrong with being on page 2 -- if page 2 contained USEFUL RESULTS TO BEGIN WITH. Usually you get half a page of local stuff, followed by half a page of useful stuff, followed by maybe 2-3 pages of gibberish and regurgitated stuff.

Like a reddit topic will be posted on a bunch of 'forums' verbatim with all the comments as replies, because there are that many 'fake forum' sites out there seeded with that content lol. Same with stack overflow, really. (maybe stack overflow clones are the worst).

My favorite are the info sites that try to get you to download malware to solve your problem. XD
The title is a bit disingenuous. These are things that the iPhone can do, and have been possible on past revisions. These are things that iPhone won't do.
Also microplastics. They have been shown to cause stomach, intestinal and rectal cancer in at least three kinds of birds, and I'd be surprised if there's no analogous issue in humans.
It's both. They are monetizing the data with LLMs AND they are still enabling 3P developers to monetize their users by charging a small monthly fee.

Let's say Apollo, Relay, or RIF charged $2/mo per user. Would that be enough to cover their expenses?

Looking at Reddit's now application programming interface pricing, 100 calls per day per average user would cost $0.72 / month.Google/Apple App Stores take a 15% commission on subscriptions so a total per month per customer average cost would be $0.83 cents.

That means the devs would make $0.98 cents per month per user on a $2 subscription fee. (30 cents to Google, 73 cents to reddit, 98 cents left to pocket).

With this user base, even if only like 20,000 people subscribe the devs stand to make $20,000 every month in profit.

Apollo has 1.5 MILLION monthly active users. With a 50% conversion rate (meaning half of the users decide to subscribe) and charging $2.00 a month, he would make $750,000 / PER MONTH. That's with the new Reddit fees.
You expect spare parts to be scalped? This isn't like a standalone Xbox that's useful on its own, spare parts are only useful if you have a broken device that needs that particular part, and the upper bound on price is how much the manufacturer will charge for a repair themselves. Seems like a bad deal for scalpers.

I don't see people scalping Framework parts for example. They all seem to be available on their site. You seem confident that this is impossible, but it's been done.
Astro is adding (optional) client-side routing. I’m excited about that.
Sold for 1x or 2x revenue. Not that great a business. But 8 years in "beta"??
Got mine 8 years ago and same. Granted, I also got MS and then was geographically restricted, but those are the reasons I haven't looked at employment at the local public libraries.

It's really depressing that the skills I have that are worth the most are those I learned as a child, but it is what it is.
I feel your pain. We need to scale it slowly to provide the best experience for the people and companies using it (including tight and free support!) but hopefully we will be able to open the service to everyone soon.

I guess we really internalized YC's motto: we rather have one person having a great experience and loving us, than 10 liking us with an ok experience than 100 using us with a poor experience ...and the waitlist helps on that quest.

Although it seems there's a good chance you'll love the product. Feel free to message me to syrus@wasmer.io and we'll be in touch soon!
Well that is very unreasonable. First you say that Ribena et al. are "childhood tastes". Then when I say that's sad, you say "not my childhood!" and accuse me of making assumptions. Well, by that token, you're making assumptions too: I never said I think your childhood was spent in the UK.

There is an XKCD for that style of communication, you know:

https://xkcd.com/169/

About the cheese, you should check out any supermarket in France, Italy or Greece. In Italy or Greece, chances are you'll find 30 different kinds, including a couple of locally-made ones. In France it's more like 130. In the small Auchan at the corner of Tolbiac and Rue Barrault, near where I stayed in Paris, there were six or seven refrigerators dedicated exclusively to cheese- cheese of every type (bloomy rinds, washed rinds, pressed, cooked, hard, soft, blue, white, ... ), and from every corner of France (little goat's cheeses from the Valee de la Loire, Corsican sheep's milk cheese, tommes from all over the place...). The larger Carrefour in the Italie Deux mall, at the center of the 13th arrondissement had about a dozen. My friendly neighbourhood cheesemonger stocked an even greater variety and at a much better quality. I swear I have never seen so much cheese, of so many different kinds and from so many different places all together in one place. Of course, he was "Meilleur Ouvrier de France". Try to imagine the British DWP handing out medals to the best cheesemongers, or bakers!

Stilton? Well that's a good cheese, no disagreeing. But then, you go to a Sainsbury's, or a Tesco's, and what authentically British cheeses do they stock? If they stock Stilton, that's lucky. Then it's cheddar, cheddar, cheddar... oh, and even more cheddar. Maybe a bit of Wensleydale, and that only thanks to Aardman. And you know why? Because the average Brit only knows three kinds of cheese: haloumi, mozzarella and cheddar. Did I mention cheddar?

Sorry, but the variety and quality of cheese in the continent is just not something that the UK can compare with, and the Europeans know what they are and how to appreciate them.

P.S. Olive and garlic sourdough... why? Why put things in bread? Unless you're making pizza that is. See, I don't know if you're British but that's just such a British thing to do. The British have no understanding of why bread is good, because it sucks when they make it, so they stuff it with... stuff. Because they think that makes it somehow magickally better. It doesn't! It just makes it bad bread with stuff in it.
I really hate the modern idea of locking down devices to protect users from themselves. It's my device and I should be allowed to install what I want on it.

Android's better than iOS in that regard, but that doesn't mean it isn't still terrible. Sure, you can sideload apps, but you still can't run as root unless your device's manufacturer allows it. And sure, it might have a built-in file manager, but in newer versions of Android, you can't read/write to /sdcard/Android/data without a separate device.

And this trend is even infecting non-phone devices as well. You can't install extensions on Firefox if they haven't been signed by Mozilla. The only way to disable this restriction is to use a fork or beta version (Developer Edition or Nightly).
Expecting Google's code to flawlessly understand the truth and trustworthiness of all possible sources for every conceivable question is a fair/unbiased way for all topics past present and future is a very high bar. This is a really hard problem, and unlike many other hard problems (rocket science, neurosurgery, particle physics, etc.), Google has millions of financially motivated adversaries actively trying to trick them.

Why do you consider code that relies on the GIL to be buggy? Isn't the GIL a documented, stable part of Python? (Hence why it will probably never be removed).
Even skilled programmers often make the mistake of saying "why don't you just..." or "it's easy, just..." when completely ignoring large important factors, such as following process, ensuring backward compatibility, stakeholder alignment (ugh), and addressing long tail problems.

There are usually two kinds of coders giving advises. A fresh one that has no idea how complex things really are, yet. Or an experienced one, that forgot it.
You can't do any of these things without doxxing yourself to Apple, as you can't install apps without an Apple ID, and you can't get an Apple ID without a phone number.
Not having to worry about shit. There are dozens, if not hundreds of mobile devices I can buy where I can root and have full access to them. I just don’t trust myself to be able to secure them properly. I am happy, no, thrilled, for the opportunity to offload that risk to Apple.

Basic math? Let's do the math...

I originally started a reply to you to tell you why you're wrong, but after thinking through the contemporary process, I agree. It's pretty trivial to install an app and do dev on android without any external machine, and you can easily plug in a keyboard and/or mouse and use that too. I agree much with OP but I think he's being a little too hard on Android

This is the other reason a lot of people will do their own motorbike maintenance - for a lot of people, the motorbike is the second vehicle.
"Kidults" is a silly term, and feels like another baseless attack implying that younger generations shouldn't enjoy life and should instead be productive. My grandparents would get together with their friends and play card games well into old age (I wonder at what age they learned those games?). My parents' generation (the baby boomers) seem to still enjoy movies, national sports, TV, and other leisure activities of their generation. There is nothing wrong with anyone enjoying leisure activities, and humanity has probably done so since the earliest of times.

I am not sure the reason for these articles talking evolving the library and providing homeless services and supports.

There are already resource centers with services and supports that homeless need, which may duplicate what libraries already offer, eg. computers. They are staffed with people from their community as well.
It makes sense for the user but then you've just killed a lot of products you've convinced users to buy. It's ridiculus when you consider how many redundant computers people have in their homes. Smart TV. Watch. Laptops. Desktops. Phones. Even cars. In a perfect world you'd just have a central server that all of these dummy screens just tap into perhaps, either a handheld dock or a little thing in your closet. However, that would stop us from spending a grip on all these different product lines, all the different redundant things.

Garmin has made a brand of themselves doing this. Every sport activity, there's a running watch, a golf watch, a whatever the hell watch, a gps this, a gps that, a bike computer, whatever, all bespoke and siloed for a few activities, when really they could just sell you a single slab that connects to a gps and could do whatever. But then, they'd only be selling you one product and not dozens.

But that's what the nefarious people would also say...

It should be possible to show the editor without the login-wall, but with the text input being disabled and be replaced by a pre-defined input like "Write me a story about bunny rabbits" (I don't know what your app is supposed to do so this is my understanding after reading the scant descriptions), and tell the user to hit "Generate story!" - but when they click it, the mock-up won't be talking to ChatGPT, instead it will just get a response (or one of several bunny rabbit stories) you've stored as text.

That way you don't need a login-wall, and no one will abuse the project and eat up your ChatGPT tokens (is that the reason for needing a login?).
I hear there are plenty of trash on Apple App store nowadays, comparable to Play store.

Is what you want a walled garden or just the iOS garden that happens to be walled?

Android allows side loading, etc., but in practice it’s a walled garden too. Just slightly shorter walls and more lax caretakers.

I prefer iOS to Android myself, but it’s in spite of the walled garden - not because of it.
Good questions, I wonder as well.

The article mentions SF had one of the highest hotel occupancy rates in the country back in 2015, at 84%. In 2022, it had recovered back up to 62%. I wasn't sure what is more normal/average. Looks like in January of this year, NYC's rate was 66%[0], and I would think that being comparable to NYC on a metric like this would be cause for some optimism.

So I'm assuming that they were forecasting worse occupancy for the rest of 2023 and beyond, as 62% doesn't sound that bad, at least for pandemic-exit times?

Regarding return-to-office, and SF resisting it more than most places, I suspect a significant-enough chunk of hotel bookings comes from employees visiting HQ from remote or satellite offices. If companies are reducing their office presence in SF, I would expect those sorts of visits to decline.

Not sure about the quality of the hotel itself; last time I was in there was for a work-related event back in 2015 or so, but I only saw conference rooms and common areas (which were a little dated, but clean and seemingly well-maintained), not the hotel rooms themselves.

Doesn’t NextJS do that with client-side JS though?

I recently moved from Gatsby, which did that — and the transitions sure are instantaneous — to Astro, which outputs plain HTML pages. Each navigation is a request to the server. Yeah, they take a touch longer. But the response is tiny.

You could always `preload`?
Yep. No-code/low-code tooling never really took off beyond some small use cases for a pretty simple reason that will also apply to non-engineers using GPTs:

There is always a tension between having a simple-to-use tool and getting a custom result. The simpler the tool is to use, the less likely you'll be to get a custom result. Tools that are great at generating custom results are rarely simple to use.

GPT models demonstrate this very well. If you attempt to prompt it without any knowledge of a field you can get something back... but it won't be unique. To get a workable result to a more complicated problem you need to know how to prompt it, how to review what it spits out, how to modify your prompt in response to correct it, how to stitch the eventually working piece with other pieces. And so on.
This was such a useful book to me.

Google has been more squishy on nofollow in the last few years:

So Google does follow nofollow links. In this tweet you can see they won't go as far as definitely saying there is no impact on page rank.

I've seen that observation a lot, the oldest expression of it I can find (with the key phrase "expectation of buying something") is from this union publication in July 2018:

Not quite the same but we do actually have populations of people with significantly reduced capacities, such as those with Down's Syndrome. I'm not sure how it is everywhere but in Western Europe there's generally quite a bit of effort put in by families, carers, charities and businesses to give them a sense of life in society.
How would you implement the c++11 memory model in a non-cc system exactly? Let's say you build linked list, spanning a few cachelines and then publish it by storing the address of the first node to into an atomic with release semantics. Another thread load-consumes its address and start traversing it.

On a cc system the only thing the release barrier needs to ensure is that all previous stores commit to L1 (in any order) before the final store. There is typically nothing to do on the consume side as the CPU pipeline preserves causality. Everything else is taken care by plain MESI, which will transfer exactly and on-demand those cache lines that contain the list nodes and no more.

What would the acquire/consume barriers do on a non-cc system? Consider that, generally, neither the CPU nor the compiler actually have an understanding of the list data structure itself.
As someone who’s been both a software developer and a technical writer, I agree that a lot of these problems seem best suited for a technical writer. The expertise with creating different types of documents is valuable, of course, but there’s another benefit: The organization committing resources in the form of making it someone’s entire responsibility.

While I think updating reference documents lends itself to subject matter experts (especially in a project where this approach is already successful), I think structuring them can be separated and given to a technical writer with more technical expertise or a developer with more documentation expertise.

Dr. Chatbot: first to integrate GPT-4 into doctor-patient messaging
Can confirm. I recently demoted my old Samsung S7 to be Wifi-only and work stuff-only. MFA, mobile email when I'm not at my desk, etc.

When I travel for personal stuff, I now just take my personal laptop and my phone. If I need to get into my work stuff, I'm pretty damn effective with all the cloud tooling I can get into from the browser under Dex. Screen real estate is the biggest issue which Dex handily solves, with a close second being things like MS Teams being a little clunky in Dex mode (not a dealbreaker). It's all more than sufficient when I get pinged on personal travel, since I'm not likely to need to be at 110% like I am if I'm working at 2pm on a Tuesday.

Why would I want to do this? Because every time I take time off, something goes off and nobody knows what to do about it, so I get pinged.
Yes, this is a really weird way to say the asset is taking a beating. I'm not familiar with "cryptonews.net" but I'm guessing it's pro-Bitcoin and this is an effort to put a positive spin on Bitcoin's current woes.
Oh, man. The thing about people creating a community where you must speak nicely or else they will disconnect you is that they will disconnect from people.

It's actually great that they can. And if they think a slower gated community is the best for them, well, let them be. I can't imagine how this constitutes a failure of lemmy.

So we agree then? This feels like a "but the guy in front of me was speeding too" proposition.

> Do you know what glecore has already done and gotten away with?

I do, I used to work for them. The point is not to influence Glencore, a quick look at their majority shareholders is all anyone should need to know where they are on the sustainability responsibility spectrum. The point is to illustrate that Tesla, which advocates that "the future is sustainable" is building that vision on the back of some very unsustainable partners and practices.

I'm going to leave off the fallacy of using revenue as a primary proxy for business scale. See: Air Lease. A better comparator would probably be employee counts (they are similar).
