I've recently (2022-03) done the same but also .space and all others from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_dom... and discovered:

curl http://ai

Apache's Hello world:

curl http://pn

ping tk

ping uz

ping cm

All others had this error:

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: %tld%

So that people could not bypass DRM (Digital Rights Management, not Direct Rendering Manager). And signing the firmware would not help because with source code it is easier to find vulnerabilities in signature verification code. Though they still could publish the firmware partially.

Is that "Verify your card in Apple PayⓇ" email real/non-spoofed? On that email's screenshot there's a huge red flag as with other 99.9% scams: bad punctuation. Nobody writes "number:" (1:, 2:, 3:, ...) for lists in English. https://writing.stackexchange.com/questions/5680/is-it-ok-to...

> is free in Russia. I just visited the Russian version https://www.win-rar.com/start.html?&L=4 from Russia. There is still "Buy WinRAR" button. Although anyone can get an infinite trial version (like Sublime Text), some Russian companies buy it just in case, according to some random comments in threads that joke about mythical buyers of WinRAR.

Also I found rumors that the developer (Eugene Roshal) moved to Germany or the USA. No info found about his brother who is the WinRAR's copyright holder, which is what matters.

That would be bad news. There are one quadrillion ants. Unlike humans, most ants are born women. Only female ants work (aka slaves), while males are mating (raping?) with the queen (at least queens can mate only once in life) and then males die shortly after that. Males live for a week (but their sperm lives for years), workers (all female) live for about a year, a queen lives for decades.

Sometimes I see ants eating almost dead ants. Which means that while I write this, several billion women are being eaten alive and feeling all kinds of emotions. When there is no queen, the ant that eats the most protein becomes the queen.

And spiders with their webs... it's always such a horror to look at their captives.

And if souls exist and they possess the first available just born organism (FIFO queue) after we die, then that would mean it is a low chance to be born human again, at least for now. I was mentally prepared to become even a broiler chicken, but not an insect.

Or if there is suddenly a multiverse, but every universe can have only one consciousness which tries to live everyone's life one-by-one (also FIFO). That would mean we would have to live many quadrillion lives before becoming a human again. And also if we suddenly have to also live every possible route/branch within the many-worlds interpretation, that becomes too depressing.

> I have reservations, specifically that I have really poor eyesight so I honestly don't know how many windows I could usefully put on a screen anyway. Although I have a very good eyesight, my eyes tire fast when I look at small things.

I browse HN with 240% Zoom on 23" 1920x1080; vscode: font "Iosevka SS16", font size 33px.

So because of that I use i3 WM (...I have never used other tiling WMs):

On every virtual desktop I press Win+w (or sometimes Win+e if the monitor is rotated) to enable "Tabbed container layout"

and then I can switch between windows immediately by Win+Left and Win+Right.

With Win+w all windows use 100% of the display width and 99-100% of the display height (I also set border width 0px and disabled taskbar/statusbar), i.e. they are maximized.

Windows have no their own title bar, but you can see the window titles on the very top of the screen.

Since a window can use more space, I can use bigger fonts without being shown almost nothing.

Well, KDE probably too has an option to launch windows maximized by default, but probably not the other features.

> 1. It's usually a whole new set of keybinds I have to learn.

I use the i3's defaults:

1) Win+1..9

2) Win(+Shift)+Up/Down/Left/Right

3) Win+D (similar to Gnome's ALT+F2)

4) rarely Win+Shift+Space (disables tiling for a window)

5) rarely Win+Space (enables tiling back for a window)

That's all (also Win+Shift+j to reload the i3 config but I didn't remember this hotkey for years).

But if I had a 46" 4K monitor, I would use i3 as most others do (i.e. multiple windows are shown at the same time).

gcc and clang warn about if (a = b) and recommend if ((a = b))

gcc and clang don't warn about if (a & b) and don't recommend if ((a & b))

That doesn't make sense.
