Can confirm. There seems to be multiple issues there; my shopping lists don’t load from the top menu, as well.

I think the legend goes Wirth created the Pascal language to be the most easily compilable. To show my age, I recall a class used Modula-2 when I was in college, also from Wirth, very Pascal-like.

Haha! I bought an M1 Max Macbook Pro and I maxed most of the specs. 64GB memory! (Except for the SSD, which I got the 2TB option.) I have not even THOUGHT about “upgrading” to a newer model. I have yet to even tax my system to any significant degree. Bad for Apple? How much are they worth?

Are there any other TLDs that are of this ilk or are we saying nothing but .com will ever do? Or .org, perhaps?

Ask HN: How can I tell if AI bots are scraping my sites?

I’m getting a bunch of traffic of late who don’t appear to be human. But is there some telltale sign that it’s for an LLM?

IF: yeah I’m a fan and once started to teach myself Inform 6, way back when. My greatest accomplishment was translating a random haiku generator in Inform 6. I sort of lost interest as Inform 7 was coming on the scene.
