Article from 2015. Hardly relevant now, when one of the biggest companies in the world is happily using an `.xyz` domain.

Got the vaccine and the two boosters. Don't really regret it but I don't think I'll be bothering with any further boosters. I don't believe the conspiracy theory nut-jobs about the vaccine. But I do feel it was oversold

I really don't see the point of all these mutually incompatible Markdown++ versions. When I outgrew Markdown's limitations, I switched to using AsciiDoc [0] for all my text writing needs and, so far, I've not found any kind

No. fuck 'em. Any company that makes a living from sending unsolicited emails deserves to be blacklisted by every mail relay possible.

As well as the annoyances you point out, there are also the people who haven't a clue but decide to weigh in with their half-baked opinion anyway. This seems especially prevalent on the Apple forums. I've lost count of the number

>Prime Day is not a good time for a bargain. Black Friday is still okay, but again only really for big brands. I find the best way of getting a bargain on Amazon is checking out their Warehouse Deals. Although a lot of the time t

No. Nothing of interest to me. The missus bought a case of cat food as it was cheaper than Tesco! I think a lot of the deals are pretty bogus. I noticed four things on Prime Day deals that I'd previously bought. When I checked my purch

I upvoted you for the "...it’s pure economic suicide and does nothing to stop the war anyways..." part of your comment. But does your remark about dictatorships include all dictatorships, or only the ones who aren't on our

I've said before and got down-voted to oblivion but what the hey: the only nation that's going to profit from the war in Ukraine is the US... increased NATO membership... increased arms sales... increased dependence on US for oil

Started watching this the other night and gave up after a few minutes. It's yet another so-called YouTube documentary that consists of nothing more than the summary of a Wikipedia article overlaid on a poor quality slide-show of public

Full text search sounds great. I'm just wondering what kind of overhead it will add to a big library? I think I have about 3000+ books in mine. Calibre is one of those excellent pieces of software that shows free and open source can so

I got into Lichess myself about a year ago, after not really having played much chess in the past 20 or 20 years. Oddly enough, it was people on HN who persuaded me to give online chess a chance. I'd never bothered previously, as I co

Crappy clickbait title. TL;DR; Some random Chinese people have posted 'Hooray!' type comments on social media. If I could be bothered I could no doubt find similar comments posted by random people from US or Europe.

I don't think they serve the same purpose. With Shift+Click, I can [usually!] just hold down Shift and click on an image on a webpage to open the original in a new tab without having to dive through the source code It's really ha

I had to resort to lobste.rs. Still, it gave me a chance to revisit all those stories I read on HN a fortnight ago.

I always enjoy the irony of someone who can't spell writing an article lambasting other people for being clueless.

[According to the article] It also removes the 'crime' whereby people would wash stamps and remove the postmark, so they could be used again. Not that I've ever tried that. Oh no siree. Not me. It will also end the practice o

Sorry. Your allusion has gone right over my head. Care to spell it out for me?

When I was a kid and did something stupid because one of my friends did, my Mammy used to scornfully say "If <friend> jumped in the fire, would you do it too?" At what point did TikTok, YouTube et al become in loco parent

There is a disturbingly large [or at least vocal enough to imply largeness] section of the British public which reacts apoplectically to any perceived slight upon their beloved royal family. So none of this surprises me. Personally, wheneve

The thinking behind this seems odd. I'd have thought that the overlap between people who want something like barcode-esque links to digital info and improved online tracking and people who queue up at the post office to buy stick on s
