I see, I assume that is true for all TLDs? (Can you tell I don't do much web front-end lol)

Well, that seems like a bad idea. Out of curiosity, does anyone know what happens if I have: `<a href="google.zip">Link</a>`?

Will the browser navigate to an external site or will it try to download google.zip?

>If you want to claim I'm irrational, you need to refute everything I've said to the point it looks like I'm babbling incoherently.

Your claim that advertising is immoral is what I see as irrational. Not that you hate ads. You've provided no grounds for why its actually inherently wrong to advertise. If anything, you've contradicted yourself. There are times where you think it is okay for something to grab your attention, like when you go to the supermarket.

Perhaps we are disagreeing on what an ad is. "Information I did not seek out" is not a good definition of an advertisement. Just because you are looking for it, doesn't mean it isn't an ad. I'd claim an ad is anything that promotes a product, service, or event. Given that definition, would you still consider all advertising immoral?

If someone taps you on the shoulder, they are performing an immoral action by grabbing your attention?

I think you have an irrationally radical take on this. I can understand disdain for targeted or excessive and intrusive ads -- I use an ad blocker too. But to say that advertising as a whole is immoral seems overblown.

What constitutes an ad? Can I put a yellow label on my can of beans I sell, or is that too vibrant and might catch your eye in the supermarket? Should all products and signage be black/white to protect your delicate attention span?

> Ads are immoral

How do you justify this claim? How can advertising your product to attract customers be morally wrong?

Good luck having any form of modern agriculture if you can't get the produce to the destination before it rots.

Angus actually didn't have any caloric intake during his fast. Impressive as her hunger strike was, she was force fed, which can't really be considered fasting.

Are there plans to support the full Visual Studio IDE?

Edit: Also, Notepad++ support would be awesome

My best guest, and this is pure speculation, is that skipping a meal makes people believe that they can eat whatever they want for the other meal(s) of the day. As such, they eat awful food and never develop good eating habits.

I did OMAD (one meal a day) for a while and when I was researching it, many places encouraged this behavior. The idea being that if you skip 2 meals, even if you eat like garbage for your one meal, you won't be able to eat as many calories. This worked for me, I ate whatever I wanted for dinner and I lost ~20lbs in a month, but my cholesterol levels increased so I put a stop to it. Then, I put the weight right back on because, well, I never actually changed my eating habits -- only the frequency.

Clever. I could see this being legitimately useful for generating test data.

Yes, we use filtered indexes to mitigate it. It's a lot of additional boilerplate though.

Our current system uses soft deletes, and I wish we had done a "deleted" table. The biggest downside to soft deletes for us is that it ruins the default indexes cause every query has a !IsDeleted where clause added to it.

Is DALL-E noticeably better than Stable Diffusion and other self-hostable options? I don't see why I would even bother going through the sign up process for OpenAI, only to be limited by their filters. Seems like they are late to the party now.

To be fair, I think it's much less likely that some creep is going to try to record an old person and post it on the internet as opposed to an attractive younger person...

Because our society has also agreed that using race as the sole reason to determine an outcome is a bad idea. Hence, the civil rights act which "makes it illegal to discriminate against someone on the basis of race".

Why should we now fly in the face of that in order to advance one race at the expense of others?

I have no familiarity with OCaml at all, so I really don't know what the unit should be here. If it's milliseconds, that's really, really, impressive. If it's seconds though, that seems on par with other languages/compilers I've used.

I had the same experience. It was absolute sorcery the first time I used it. I was able to type without looking and would be confident that the result was correct. Using the Google keyboard now is still pretty good, but I routinely have to correct words.

I also have two languages installed now and it will sometimes type a completely nonsensical sentence in the wrong language. I can't say for sure if this is better or worse though, I only knew one language back when I used Swype.

Well, the previous mayor already lost the last election, and the new one disclosed it upon taking office.

> Post-vaccination CAE rate was highest in young boys aged 12-15 following dose two. For boys 12-17 without medical comorbidities, the likelihood of post vaccination dose two CAE is 162.2 and 94.0/million respectively. This incidence exceeds their expected 120-day COVID-19 hospitalization rate

I'm I reading this wrong? The study is concluding that this population is more likely to have a CAE if they get the vaccine than being hospitalized without the vaccine?

If I can suggest a book: Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport

I had a lot of the same feelings you describe here. Reading this and actually making tangible changes to my habits helped me rediscover my love of learning. Ultimately, the solution for me was to force myself to be bored. I set artificial limits for myself when consuming content online (for instance, I use the procrastination features here on HN and I deleted all "feed" apps on my phone, like Reddit).

I found that once I was bored, my free time became so much more enjoyable and it was easier to deliberately work on something.

What do you mean Brave doesn't support Netflix? I've never had any issues.

Completely anecdotal: They apparently did this in my area a few years back and they are still spraying in my neighborhood as of last week after detecting mosquitoes carrying diseases. And it could be all in my head, but I swear there are 10x more mosquitoes than ever before.

For general queries, I agree. But for any technical query, I find Google to be 10x better. I used bing for about 6 months, but considering most of my searches are technical, I found myself switching to Google > 40% of the time and just gave up.

This looks great, do you have a newsletter? I'd love to know when you implement bank syncing. That's the only thing keeping me from signing up right now.

I'd be very interested in seeing this when you are done!

I like the two system approach, that is a good idea.

Perhaps it is just a matter of properly ordering the answers, maybe giving community votes precedence over the accepted answer?

For example, here is the question I was talking about: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11970586/apl-removing-el...

My answer should not be accepted, I was brand new to APL when I answered it. The "correct" answer not accepted and buried below two 0 vote questions.

The thing is, my answer _works_, just not well. I can easily see myself overlooking a better solution in a case like this. Maybe I'm just lazy though haha.

I ran into this yesterday. I got an upvote on an answer I posted 7 years ago that was marked accepted. There was a much better answer with 3x the upvotes at the bottom of the list and the OP account was no longer active.

Wondering if there was a protocol for changing the accepted answer, I searched meta. I found the consensus is: 'Accepted' is at the sole discretion of the OP and shouldn't be mean it's correct, just that it answered the OP's question. Which I think is BS as it elevates the answer to the top of the list and gives it credibility.

Why is the OP the czar that chooses the correct solution just because they asked the question first? Honestly, the OP is often the _least_ qualified person to validate an answers correctness.

That is a really annoying issue I have with YouTube.

I occasionally watch some of the Joe Rogan podcast videos when he has a guest I'm interested in. I swear, as soon as I watch one JRE video, I am suddenly inundated with suggestions for videos with really click-baity and highly politicized topics.

I've actually gotten to the point where I actively avoid videos that I want to watch because I know what kind of a response YouTube will have. Either that or I open them in incognito mode. It's a shame. I wish I could just explicitly define my interests rather than YT trying to guess what I want to watch.

I can easily see myself hitting 12+ hours a day. 8 hours every day at work, then an hour of TV, then a few hours on my PC at home doing whatever. Plus, using my phone probably adds up to a decent little chunk.

Weekends might drag the average down a bit though, spend much less time in front of a screen on Saturday/Sunday.

And you can't scroll back up once you've scrolled down which is insanely annoying
