Is churning still possible in the US? I thought Amex sign-up bonuses were only awarded once.

Storm-Bringer··on Mali Government takes back .ml domain, brings down one of largest Lemmy servers
I have to admit I didn’t do any research and assumed that .me was available to anyone because I noticed it around the same time domains such as .app, .blog, etc. came out. Honestly thought it was supposed to mean something like ‘Hey it’s me’.

So I registered <surname>.me for me to use <name>@<surname>.me as email address.

My surname with generic domains such as .com, .net, etc was already registered and didn’t feel like registering my full name. This is pure laziness, didn’t want to use something like hello or contact @<fullname>.com as email.

Storm-Bringer··on Peter Norvig's “pytudes” for Advent of Code 2020
How do people usually tackle AdventOfCode? Most elegant/concise solution or best performant?

Asking because for example most solutions to Day 1 I've seen are O(n^2)
