A few weeks ago I was explaining to a friend what domains are or how you buy one.

While demonstrating that, I added "mynewdomainhahaha.com" to my cart. And left it there, forgot about it.

Fast forward to last thursday, I had to renew one of the domains I have, and didn't realize "mynewdomainhahaha.com" was also in my cart. Now I accidentally bought the most stupid domain name ever by accident.

If you need a silly domain name just give me the NS and I'll update it for you. I won't renew the domain next year, but idk, it is a free domain for one year so maybe someone might have a use case for it.

Edit: thank you all for the suggestions. mynewdomainhahaha.com now redirects to this post.

Edit: found the cause - https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/hyperlume-raises-12-5-million-seed-round-to-revolutionize-ai-data-center-connectivity-302379669.html

Still unbelievable the timing of it but yeah I retract all my hate towards spaceship and apology openly for any hate it’s caused.

Edit: Spoke directly to spaceship/namecheap ceo and he gave me stats and proof it wasn’t on their end. I entrust he’s telling the truth and what happened was just bad luck/timing. The person who did take my domain was a reseller in India and it’s their full time job registering domains so whilst it sucks im happy to retract my accusation towards spaceship. The CEO sounds like a great guy who does care about his company and customers.

So I was looking around where to buy the cheapest .ai domains, found spaceship and was going to buy through them. Anyways entered my domain added to my cart but then I had to stop do to family etc went to sleep and this morning went back on to go buy it and guess what Spaceship Inc had already registered my fucking domain. They squatted it and I’m sure I’ll get em email soon or there’ll be a landing page on there saying it’s for sale for $1000+

That’s actually insane they can get away with that wtf. Surely I could report that to icann or something.

Edit: would you look at that https://hyperlume.ai is now for sale for 50k. Yep def domain sniped.

Im probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but hear me out. Is it just me, or is anyone else fed up and over Fireships content lately?

He used to post amazing content on actual tech, and it was awesome to learn from. I understood various programming language concepts and technologies, and it was a gold mine for keeping a wide understanding of the tech landscape.

But lately… it’s been a bunch of AI garbage. I get AI is big, and he does need to cover it. But 13 out of his last 16 posts are ONLY about AI. It’s exhausting.

Not only that, but he doesn’t seem to actually care about the accuracy of his content anymore. He used to take a ton of time to understand the language/technology he was making a video on, and would do loads of tests to back it up. But lately he’s just a stream of semi-accurate information. A new AI model drops and he posts an entire video based on semi bias benchmarks and a small amount of testing.

The most inhumane thing in tech right now.
You see a job listing, you apply, you receive "We picked someone else," you say alright, you see job listings of the same position but renewed visibility.

When this kind of stuff became normalized? Not even they lie in your face, but also in most cases don't give feedback at all on what you can improve.

Is it only my perspective on this? Does anyone see this happening while job hunting? Why there are so many "ghost listings"? You see the exact jobs for years...

It's not a career question per se, I want to see whether it's only my region's problem.

Edit: I see a lot of misreadings of the post. I don't really have a problem with people being better than me. I also understand that there is not enough time to give feedbacks. The problem I see are infinite ghost listings. How it's possible to not fill the position with thousands of applicants?

I've been developing and hosting my own sites for 2 years now with WordPress on virtual machines (AWS). Had 0% webdev knowledge going in.

I now run multiple sites hosted on CloudPanel. I create my own custom tables in MySQL, custom post types, custom shortcodes. I know how to create a child theme and make my own custom plugins.

CloudFlare is a blessing and how I setup all DNS records.

I feel like I've gotten pretty far in my webdev journey, but WHY IS EMAIL SUCH A PAIN IN THE BUTT

I've tried Zoho email and apparently they don't allow "user registration emails" after I hit a limit on the emails I could send so I cancelled.

Gmail allows 2,0000 emails a day on their workspace plan (what I'm currently using).

I've tried setting up my own email using Amazon Simple Email and wasn't approved cause you have to explain why you're using the service?

It should be easy, but it looks like rocket sciense. I wish I could click a button that creates an address with SMTP and done, but no.

I'm an intern, and sometimes feel super unproductive when all I've been doing is trying to fix one line to end up getting no where. Then the whole days gone by, I haven't even finished my ticket and I've only written 2 or 3 lines which are usually just if statements. How many lines do you guys do a day?

UX or SEO or anything like that doesn't matter. I'd include a loading screen and all that. It's just for a sentimental site and I want to go all out with some high res assets.

Does 100-300mb sound like still too much though? Let's say everything is cached, it can still jank someone's data plan can't it?

I work as a developer for a mid-sized company. Up to this point we spent very little consideration on UX mostly because we have been told to prioritise functionality over design.

One of the outcomes of this is our users often complain the site is clunky and confusing. So the company recently hired a UX designer to help solve this.

The UX designer did a full analysis of the site and put for proposals on how to improve the design. The changes they proposed are good, but require a huge amount of developer work. We’re taking building an entire new collection of components.

When we explain to the product team how much work this will take, they always deprioritise it. They say we have to get functionality rolled out first and we can tackle the design later.

This has led to a frustration in the team. It feels like we’re never going to get round to working on the design. We’re just constantly pumping out new functionality.

The company hired a UX designer for a reason and yet we’re not implementing any of their designs. It just seems like a waste of resources.

I've noticed this is becoming more common and I don't understand why. It completely defeats the idea of refresh tokens. Might as well not use them then and just issue new access tokens when they expire

The correct way is to send refresh token only specifically when refreshing tokens. Easiest way to achieve this is to limit it by setting the path on the cookie i.e. path=/auth/your-refresh-endpoint

If access token has expired, return error to client which will then refresh it ( and block further requests to avoid race conditions) and retry.
