Another approach is using base31 with all vowels removed https://ss64.com/ps/syntax-base31.html

If you request a page like www.ycombinator.com/monkeybusiness There is no page called MonkeyBusiness so the webserver will throw a 404 error and either display a default page generated by the web server software or optionally a custom page. In reality the 404 page will have a different url that you never see.

If you happened to know that the page was www.ycombinator.com/error404.html Then you could load that page directly and it would return 200 OK

404 pages should have a different favicon so that when opening multiple tabs in the background you will notice something different. Here's mine with a little easter egg when hovering over the numbers: https://ss64.com/404

Friends don't let friends use Brave.

Another way to look at it is the card holders are paying the normal price and those who opt-out are being charged an £80 punishment fee for refusing to be tracked.

But behind a paywall, so few people would have read it.

The Spinal Tap of operating systems: "its one more than 10"

The difficulty with this is linkrot. It is not just that links break, but they change into content farms or domain squatters and unless you are constantly checking them, your neat collection of links quickly becomes useless.

stumbleupon was reliant on putting websites into a frame with their menu at the top, once websites started blocking the framing of their content, for various security reasons, the idea was dead.

I just know the real reason for this will be some undisclosed security bug.

I wonder if this is related to the current YouTube vs uBlock war?

Could be that a bunch of people have given up on ad-blocking and are just blindly clicking every single ad then immediately closing the new tab to get to the video.

Result on CPC will be ad payments going through the roof, but actual conversions trending down to zero.

A thing about language is that nobody controls it, not even Microsoft, if everyone calls it the System Tray as they have done for 30 years, it is the System Tray.

I have added "swan hyphen" to the page now.

Thanks for all the feedback, I just updated the page with some of your suggestions!

I'm trying to figure out what the different colour headings mean. Perhaps green means they are keeping it, red means 'scheduled for retirement' and orange is 'we arent sure yet'.

The only supported way to block GA without breaking pages is to use a plug-in https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

No doubt your use of the plug in is logged somewhere.

In addition to the diesel engine noise most of these ships are running sonar systems which affect marine mammals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonar#Effect_on_marine_mammals

People with disabilities or visual impairments often have unusual setups that enable them to read. They didn't CHOOSE to be disabled.

What I use is @media (pointer: coarse) and (hover: none) { If you have a mouse plugged in, you get the desktop design.

20 minutes delay! Ha my worst is about 10 days.

The time is now 99:51 What I learned from this is that formatting date/time as text will lead to all kinds of edge case bugs.

https://ytdl-org.github.io is currently 404

and to enforce that, remove the file association which opens .CSV files in Excel by default. If every machine opened CSV files in notepad a huge percentage of 'Excel' problems would just go away. It could be worse though, try opening and saving a CSV in Word and see what that does.

Reddit was founded in June 2005. Aaron founded Infogami, Infogami merged with Reddit in November 2005. When Conde Nast bought Reddit in 2006 they each got one third of the money. The other founders then fired Aaron in 2007. http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2007-05-07-n78.html

Even if they are not monetised by the uploader, the video will still be monetised by Google, so this is still commercial use, even if they only earn 0.0001c

This is a good point, I think only a handful of factories are still making CD transports. They are readable in computers but only because of compatibility with the DVD disc and those are already disappearing from most new devices. It seems entirely possible that within our lifetimes it may no longer be possible to buy a CD player.

The problem with Dire Straits is not that they are bad players but they are just so unbearably SMUG about their technical chops.

and still nobody has registered .EXE

Your assumption is wrong - FBA means that 'Sold by Amazon' will often be supplied by a third party, so you have to dig through all the offers to see if any are FBA.
