How many of those are even routed to anywhere?

Browsers don't like to route directly to TLDs. In theory, Amazon could have a web site at

amazon

but browsers interpret that as a search request, not a request for a rooted domain name. Even

amazon.

which means to treat that as a fully qualified domain name doesn't work in browsers any more.

(That's what the trailing "." means. Relative domain names were a thing. If you're on a machine within "bigu.edu", and you want "ourteam.bigu.edu", you can supposedly just use "ourteam" as a domain. This rarely works right, because few clients have domain names any more. Is it even still implemented in most DNS lookup clients?)
I'll work on making them easier to configure.

At the moment you press `g` (for generate) while in command-mode to create a "prompt cell". I'll think of ways to make this more obvious.

Nice app, I might give it a try for my video collection.

Would you be willing to share the OS breakdown? I'm primarily interested in macOS and am wondering roughly what % of your sales are for that platform?
> Also to put things into perspective, Germany deployed as much solar in the last 3 years[1] as it had in total combined nuclear capacity ever

This is clearly not true. Perhaps you a confusing the nominal capacity of solar plants to real electricity production?

Your source says "The total output of all solar plants rose to 82.2GW" / "Die Gesamtleistung aller Solaranlagen stieg auf 82,2 GW". Whereas in year 2000, Germany produced 170 TWh of electricity with nuclear power.

If you're bored for a few hours, I can only recommend to take a look at the ICANN Zone File Access / CZDS. [1]

There you can get a list of all delegated second-level domain names of most vanity TLDs. Most are quite small (less than 10 entries, most or all technical like nic.<whatever>), i.e. the domain is basically unused.

(They, however, sometimes also contains obviously internal domains which sometimes resolve to public IPs. One company also allows an enumeration of all sales staff, as everyone gets their own domain. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Because you are confusing relative and cardinal axes of direction. If you stand in front of a mirror and point up, your image points up. If you point left, your image points right. However, up is relative to the surface of the earth, and left is relative to you. If you were to point left as well as east, your image would point east too - now you are considering direction along a common two dimensional set of axes, relative to the earth. The real brainfuck occurs when you point toward or away from the mirror, because now your image points north when you point south, and vice versa - however, other comments here have a much better explanation for that than I can muster.
reminds me of Good Omens:

> CHOW contained spun, plaited, and woven protein molecules, capped and coded, carefully designed to be ignored by even the most ravenous digestive tract enzymes; no-cal sweeteners; mineral oils replacing vegetable oils; fibrous materials, colorings, and flavorings. The end result was a foodstuff almost indistinguishable from any other except for two things. Firstly, the price, which was slightly higher, and secondly, the nutritional content, which was roughly equivalent to that of a Sony Walkman. MEALS was CHOW with added sugar and fat. The theory was that if you ate enough MEALS you would a) get very fat, and b) die of malnutrition.
Of the spectrum of possibilities of how (if) we end up co-existing with AIs then anything like the Culture is definitely towards the positive end. Yes it can look like the humans in the Culture are being kept like pets - but if any group or individuals want to leave the Culture then they get support and encouragement - which isn't very pet like?
no, you definitely did not answer it. you are an out an out liar. it's a black and white point, there is no grey area about it:

I asked, in an above comment:

>there is a contradiction between your second and fourth sentences. can you even see it?

you did not answer that question. you just tried to evade the topic by talking about cults and shilling for them. I am actually quite aware of cults and am totally against them, because they are fake and exploit people. I even have practical experience of them due to having lived in locations where they existed, though I was not a part of them. I observed them with interest, though, and made some observations and deductions, about both cults in particular, and human nature in general. some of those deductions are applicable to you, ha ha. go figure.

call me insulting? I think you are insulting instead, because you insulted my intelligence by using such a stupid and obvious evasive tactic, of moving the goalposts, and not answering a simple direct question that was asked of you.

so you are not only a liar, but you are stupid and a coward too.

also I notice that you sneakily avoided replying to the factual proof in my other comment, here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40895379

, referencing the Wikipedia article about rajneesh and the Oregon incidents, where it clearly says that he was the one who complained to the US authorities about Sheela and those crimes, etc., and that Sheela was convicted, not him.

I won't waste my time by addressing any of your other points or continuing on this thread, because you clearly are a donkey and prejudiced and have preconceived notions and don't bother to consider the facts.
Apple Reportedly Developing Apple Watch SE with Plastic Casing
That doesn't explain why Travelers Insurance thought that they needed their own gTLD. Size as measured in dollars isn't really relevant—Berkshire Hathaway is #5 and doesn't have one—what matters is size as measured in registered domain names (for internal or external use).

Basically no one outside of big tech has the volume of domain names to justify paying for their own gTLD, Fortune 500 or not.
The article and therefore people responding are focused on the most boring part of the rumour: “dual use”

From that experience, it makes total sense that you wouldn't want to work with juniors like that again.

But I have the complete opposite experience. I'm a junior dev working on an embedded linux system, and some associated test applications. I have an extremely good mentor/boss who's helping me develop skills for those environments, and other associated skills that are absolutely invaluable to my career.

Now the difference of course is I am highly motivated. I love the work I do, and because it's so enjoyable and fun, I absolutely take a lot of my personal time to play around with work-related or at least work-adjacent projects.

My worry is that when I do eventually move to my next company/product, Ill be assigned to a manager that has had too many poor experiences with unmotivated juniors, and is unwilling to share their experience with me (in a cooperative manner, not just a one-sided relationship of course).
Why “modern”? I suggest you use more descriptive adjectives.
Dude I just started getting into deep learning and have been flabbergasted getting stuff working. I installed jupyter and torch via homebrew.

Prepping is divorced from doomers if we look outside mainstream media reporting.

In the PNW of the US, there are many thriving prepper communities of all political persuasions and I find that the vast majority of them are not doomers, and in fact, try to avoid doomers and satirize them.
We have recently developed a system that eliminates scarcity for all digital media. The results is not an ideological re-alignment but a crowbar that locks down the rules of scarcity.

> everyone is here

I think this is the answer. Once upon a time we were way fewer people, and many interests were shared among those people (because we pretty much were all "geeks"). We've always had trolls, spammers, etc. but it still felt like we were part of a big community.

Now everybody is here, and that feeling is no more. It's like moving from a small village or town (where everybody knows each other) to a huge city. It doesn't feel like "belonging" anymore.
This isn't exactly accurate. Google and McDonalds didn't have some early exclusive launch. There were hundreds that launched at around the same time, when ICANN opened the process, and not in the 00s.

I'm too lazy to research them all here, but I recognize a number of them here from their initial applications, which would have all happened at the same time as the two you mentioned.

I dunno, maybe I didn't look deep enough, but skimming through, it feels like more a symptom of infinite growth. I think we're def. starting to plateau in many things that have had basically no growth for a long time. Anything that's gotten the attention like crypto and AI feel like "let's dump unbridled enthusiasm into this" while waiting for some real epiphany to arrive. The internet was imho the last real step forward in mankind (and a bunch of life saving drugs/vaccinations), though mass cellphone usage certainly helped to democratize it.
Resilience is overrated and zero-sum. Once systems are antifragile they can really expand the ergodicitic envelope for the benefit of all. Working against the second law is futile anyway; embrace entropic accelerationism.

>> Should I remove experience from my resume to avoid ageism in automated resume filters?

I really doubt that any significant number of companies are using age to filter resumes as people over the age of 40 are a protected class in the US.

But you still might want to leave off older experience to avoid unintentional ageism. You don't want to avoid intentional ageism, if you are 40 years old and someone really thinks people 40 years old are too old to code, you don't want to work for them.

I'm over 50, when my previous job was off-shored, I was advised by the outplacement agency to remove experience older than a certain point and replace it with something like "additional experience available on request", I don't recall the exact wording, and they also told me to remove the date from my CS degree.

If people want to discriminate against you, this is isn't going to fool them, it's more about the people who explicitly do not want to discriminate against you, but still have an unavoidable reaction on seeing something like a graduation date that is before they were born.

All that said, the reason you are not getting many responses now may simply be that the current market for programmers is the worst since at least the Great Recession, and maybe even worse than that.

Hope you find work soon!

Oh wow, I was just thinking that optional image previews would make this great, good stuff! The preview image doesn't auto-fit nicely in all layouts(using sonyalpharumors.com to test; works great for header banner embeds but potentially awkward sizing for post embeds) but I think that's due to the fixed image size and you not messing with the DOM outside of adding the img to it.

My take on declining online social engagement is; a lot of people like to consume online content passively e.g. just reading Facebook posts or watching a YouTube video without actually liking or commenting. Another thing is; increasing number of people came to realize that privacy does matter and they refuse to participate in online dramas that can damage their reputation or harm their mental health.

Sci-fi almost always succeeds because it manages to present interesting ideas. Often the writing can be quite poor, I remember some Asimov novels were characters were just defined by a single thing that they believed.

To me the culture series fails, as it has no interesting ideas. "What if we solved every problem", just isn't an interesting premise. There is no interesting conflict that can even exist in the setting, the only thing that the author could come up with were religious fanatics. But the "interesting question" answered there wasn't more interesting then a New Atheist debating some Christian.

There are tens of millions of people who practice emergency preparedness. There is only a tiny handful of people with private bunkers, and it's overwhelmingly just rich folks who treat it as an offbeat hobby or a status symbol - like a wine cellar or a collection of luxury cars.

I get that it's fascinating, but the "bunker prepper" argument has no place in a good-faith discussion of emergency preparedness.

It gets so hot in Death Valley, that helicopters can’t fly on some summer days.

“Helicopters cannot get enough lift to take off at extreme temperatures,” said Death Valley National Park ranger Elyscia Letterman. “The local air ambulance service determines if they can safely respond on a case-by-case basis, depending on temperature and the capabilities of each helicopter. However, they typically deem it unsafe to fly to Death Valley in temperatures above 120°F (49°C).”

I guess I just don't understand this mind set, especially at a grocery store where many items don't have a bar code.

At a poorly owned and and managed grocery store, that is chronically understaffed, as someone giving them money, you'd rather temporarily become an unpaid employee and waste your time looking up the product codes for apples and onions, using a system that's purposefully less efficient than what the real cashiers use, instead of just going to a store that doesn't make you work for them to pay them money.

> While preparing for potential disasters is warranted, it is still best to make sure it does not become an all-encompassing preoccupation.

The article sort of fell apart for me when I realized that only at the end were they making a distinction between prepping and hoarding. Now, I'm not sure whether they've been talking about "the management of stockpiled household items in anticipation of market disruption" or "being insane" the whole time. Which makes sense, because the question of whether keeping additional resources on hand in case you can't get them is reactionary or instinctual is a false dichotomy: you can easily reach the same conclusion in a lot of others ways. For example, by looking at history, or by looking at current events, or from sitting and thinking about what the smartest thing to do with spare resources might be, or by following the emergency preparedness guide provided by the government agency of your choice, just for starters.
Unless your RAM requirements aren’t being met, the M1 is good enough. The M2 is the best of the line so far because the M3 handicapped memory bandwidth for the only use cases that need so much memory.
