Porkbun. Their prices are very reasonable and their support team is consistently responsive and helpful. Honestly, even if their pricing was higher I would still choose to use them because it's clear their goal is to maintain a useful

Just from the name, I thought this was going to be Google's official take on the classic "Google Gravity" site from ages ago: https://mrdoob.com/projects/chromeexperiments/google-gravity... I used t

ZIP codes are such interesting identifiers. Their intended use was for facilitating more efficient mail sorting, they were not for providing any sort of human-friendly location data. Yet we still end up using them in so many parts of our li

Of course you can, nobody is claiming otherwise. Freedom of speech does not come with freedom from the consequences of what you say. I have the freedom to scream "FIRE" in a crowded building when there really isn't a fire, do

New.css developer here, thanks for sharing :) I’ve been thinking about creating a CSS tool somewhere about halfway between new.css and Pico CSS for very basic page layout tools (containers, callouts, menu bars, etc) that still focuses on be

I'm `@3x` on GitHub and I get multiple notifications every day from people mentioning graphics scale factors [1] in issues and PRs. It is a lot of fun to add a "" reaction to everything mentioning me! [1]: https://

Has anyone else experienced DuckDuckGo ignoring the exclusion operator? For example, searching `kiwi -fruit`, with no space between the hyphen and second word, used to bring up results that did not include the word "fruit". This n

I regularly use Hagoromo chalk on a personal chalkboard and I always break new sticks in half before use. For me, it feels more comfortable to use smaller pieces than large ones. It allows me to hold the chalk with more fingers, and avoids

Hey Paul, legitimate question. What actions from Musk would it take for you to stop supporting him?

I thought up a few ways to visualize 2^64 unique items: - You could give every ant on Earth ~920 unique IDs without any collisions - You could give unique IDs for every brain neuron for all ~215 million people in Brazil - The ocean contains

Right above that line, the site notes that the code is available here [1]. It looks like the majority of it was written by Drew DeVault, who runs SourceHut [2], where the code is hosted. [1]: https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn&#x2F

I recall seeing go link stickers around Google's Mountain View campus in the early 2010s! That was the first time I had seen something done like that, "overriding" an entire TLD zone (not that `.go` is in use, anyway) to serv

This works with DuckDuckGo as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32473643 You can combine the exclusion `-` syntax with this as well. If you want to find different sites on the TLD `.test` but only URLs on `home.tes

I can confirm that emoji domains for `.to` are still supported, I believe most of them are taken by now, though. You can use https://register.to to check.

At one point of time, ` http://to ` resolved to a "It works!" page [1]. I've always thought it would be cool to have a URL shortener with links such as ` https://to/library ` or something similar. Oh,

"How to Sharpen Pencils" [1] by David Rees is one of my favorite books. Highly recommend it for its perfect blend of satire, actual in-depth analysis, and absurdity. [1] https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books&#x2

Tip: You can search the term `site:ext` on DuckDuckGo to see sites using that domain extension (TLD). It's not very helpful for .com for example, but it's useful for queries like `site:aws` to see what sites are using the .aws TLD

Interesting, how does the process of going from Notion to Astro work? Are you just exporting Markdown files, or is there an API integration in use?

The HN articles still links to this for me: https://www.quantamagazine.org/number-theorist-james-maynard... It's possible that Quantum Magazine changed the title and is redirecting this old URL to the new one.

HN titles are often edited after posting, so it's possible the original title misrepresented this.

Yes. Even if it may be permitted under some licenses, training models off millions of developers' code and capitalizing on those models goes against the spirit of open source software. I'd expect nothing less from Microsoft.
