I became so conditioned to waiting hours(!) for DNS propagation that I'm always pleasantly surprised when it takes <5 min these days.

Do you have a CNAME record pointing to a herokudns.com domain? Replace it with an A record that points to the IP instead. You can find the IP by going to https://securitytrails.com/domain/<something-1234.herokudns...

I think you have that backwards? Taking off from Mars is significantly easier than earth because of lower gravity and a less-dense atmosphere.

I have fond memories of learning VB3 from Teach Yourself Visual Basic in 21 Days, which had to be 500+ pages. It turns out it's tough to have a good introduction to a topic without going really long.

Very good points, thanks. I struggled with this myself as I was trying to plan out the structure of the book. I ultimately went with the "path of least resistance" (ASP.NET Core MVC ships with Bootstrap, jQuery, etc) but I agree t

That StackOverflow runs on .NET is one of my favorite little-known facts.

I think it's a great time to jump into .NET Core if you've been on the sidelines. There was a lot of version pain early on, but it's way better now. Being able to write C# code on my Windows box that runs natively on my MacBo

SpaceX spending almost a decade developing, testing, and then deploying rockets that can land and then be reused is a good example.

We ultimately need to do both: burn less fossil fuels, and capture or sequester CO2 from the atmosphere faster than the planet does naturally. Otherwise, what we keep adding will stay around for a long time.

No feedback from me at the moment, other than to say that what y'all are doing with B2 is awesome. It's great to see more competition in this space, and I love the open-source ethos you've cultivated at Backblaze.

Master of None didn't do it for me, but I loved Stranger Things. This is a great example of how Netflix's model works well for "long tail" content. They can produce and keep shows around that have a different or smaller

In some cases, I believe so. But a solar plant is only useful for half the day (at best).

Yes. They are going for a very different model compared to "traditional" comsats. Instead of launching very heavy, very expensive birds that need to last for 10-20 years (to justify the huge development and launch costs), they wan

They weren't scaling back their production before. They've just been aggressively expanding the plant - they built an entire new production line for Model X (IIRC), and have been adding a lot of automation. Not all quarters have b

Golden Rice isn't a failure, it just hasn't yet been deployed at a large scale. The folks working on it have been making a lot of progress, but it's been slow. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ri
