I read an interesting blog article on this a while back: https://lacot.org/blog/2024/10/29/the-trailing-dot-in-domain...

The part where he runs a massive simulation is very much up the typical HN-user's street

We have a selection of smaller popular hatchbacks with MHEV available (ie, the Hyundai i20) that I believe were not released in some markets

The leasing culture for "luxury" cars is quite prevalent here too, and many new cars from popular brands such as Land Rover are at minimum MHEV from new nowadays, in order to get fleet emissions down

I loved the concept, just not some of the clues

In my case, whatever detection software they used seemed to think my eyes were closed, which they were not.

I just used a normal picture taken on a phone, against a plain white wall, accepted with no issues.

Maybe one day I will replace my Land Rover...

The major one - several thousand - Insomnia (although I volunteer for that), and a host of smaller ones with a much more community feel, such as StratLAN.

Is the feeling slightly different to what I imagine it used to be? Yes, as if the Internet goes down, then many games stop working - but then at the smaller ones (ie Strat), I find I spend more of my time chatting to like-minded people, playing board games, etc. I even have a friend that comes over from NL for it sometimes!

LANs aren't dead quite yet :)

Webassembly support is spotty, though in progress AFAICT.

From my experience, yes.

I am getting merried next month - we have a wedding website via "with joy", which had a URL a bit too long to fit on our wedding invites, so I set up a redirect of "wedding.surname.tld" - the amount of people who messaged us saying the website didn't work, and it turns out they were putting "www." beforehand was staggering (until I added that as a redirect too).

Program source was released a month before the exam, to allow students to familiarise themselves with it, and the exam then gave a series of questions/modifications the students had to make (I think ours was based on a pack of cards, so we had to implement a shuffle algo, and a take x from top of deck, etc).
