The Sun is basically a comic. Quoting it as a reliable news source is ridiculous.

The US will be rubbing its hands with glee. They must have thought all their Christmases had come at once, when Russia invaded Ukraine * Russia ostracised by Europe * More US arms sales to Europe * More US gas sales to Europe * More Europe

My name has an accented character in it. It also begins with a lower case letter. Zoho's sign up form force-capitalised the name and also told me to 'only use letters and underscores' when I entered my name. I should make

Thanks for this. Purelymail looks to tick all the boxes for me and their T&Cs seem reasonable [at least compared to Migadu]. I've never heard of the company though. And they seem to be a one man band, which is a bit of a concern -

<--CONT'D [Wow! --first time I've hit HN's post character limit!] Now, someone said they have this kind of attitude as a way of targeting their offering towards more tech-minded people and deterring the more needy users. A

Ask HN: Migadu? Postale? Mxroute? Or any other mail services using this model?

I'm still waiting for this mythical contentment to kick in. I'm mid-fifties now and bloody hate getting older and not being able to; see as well, hear as well, work as hard, exercise as hard as I used to. [not being able to have

Not specifically registration, but some sites just make using them so annoying that, a lot of the time, I just give up in frustration and take my business elsewhere. * Any site [like eBay] which uses reCAPTCHA. But even more so, any site wh

While pretty shitty for the people affected, I think this [and the many similar virtue-signaling stunts we've seen by big US global internet corporations] is good for the internet, in the long run. Far too few companies monopolising fa

Don't worry about it. For anyone brought up reading and writing original British English and having a love of language, American English [even that written by native speakers] reads like a mis-spelled, grammatically jumbled mess. So,

OK. In the interests of fairness, I'll take another look at V. Because I did like the look of it when I dabbled a few years back. I found it a bit like Go but without the annoying boiler-plate `if err != nil...` everywhere, it did seem

Well, for a start there's the "Translating DOOM from C to V and building it in 0.7 seconds" which is still on your front page. In spite of being a 'WIP' for as long as I can remember. Then there's; vweb, vorum,

What a piss-poor excuse for an article! Reads like a press release; all puff and no down sides. Anyone with any familiarity with the V project will know it's been mired in controversy from day 1, thanks to the [often hyperbolic] claims
