That used to be the case. You can still get free email hosting, but POP/IMAP needs a paid plan.

Agreed 100%. Perfect prosumer / small business setup.

No! No, no, not 10! He said 9. Nobody's comin' up with 10. Who processing with 10 bits? What’s the extra bit for? You’re just wastin’ electrons.

Ive had good luck with ‘Monteverde Capless Gel Ballpoint’ refills for my Rotring 600s.

Placed my cursor at the top of the hour peak on the 'Peaks' clock. Few moments later, it shifted slightly to the left. Had a bit of existential dread as I saw time slipping away.

Nice clocks though.

iosjunkie — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 17:43:43 +0000

Thank you for sharing! A year or two after you got your 1000, my dad bought the family an Amiga 500. It began my love of computing, gave me a scrappy hacker mind set (owning an Amiga in the US a rarity), and ultimately sowed the seeds of my career.

FWIW, the vast majority of sales people I’ve spoken to over the past 5 years have been WFH/WFCS (work from coffee shop).

Certainly for bigger deals they come onsite for the final stages of the sales process, but most interaction is handled remotely and they aren't in an office.

That's annoying. For some use cases, not a big deal. But I have used the AWS Route 53 'alias' functionality on a number of occasions and that requires the use of Route 53 nameservers.

Is that a SO problem or search indexing (Google) problem?

"more informed model"

Can you be specific on what you recommend instead of BM25?

Aston Martin charges $1000 to add a six CD changer in the trunk of Vanquish.

Clearly textbook price gouging from the monopolistic auto manufacturer, Aston Martin.

I must have missed this and I’m genuinely curious how this works.

How does it work with, say, a SaaS company? Does every employee and contractor retain a perpetual license to each line of code they wrote? If that company ever looks to sell, what intellectual property does the company actually have?

In that case, an Arduino + touch screen would be a nice little addon for this.
