This is like some variant of synthwave. Nukewave?

Not everything is. HTTP and unencrypted SNI are still around.

VPNs are great for avoiding the nastygrams that your ISP forwards to you from media companies. They get sent to some company that doesn’t care about US laws instead, and probably laughed at before being deleted

If a VPN is big enough, you can’t really do that sort of correlation due to the level of traffic involved. I guess that would work for visitors to https://www.woman-inflates-a-balloon-and-sits-on-it-and-pops-it.com/, but wouldn’t work at all for google.com

Everything’s visible for HTTP, and in fact some ISPs inject their own ads into HTTP content. HTTPS is harder for malicious actors, but your ISP can tell when you’re visiting pornhub.com, and will happily provide that to the government. With encrypted SNI it’s somewhat harder, but if you’re visiting an IP address of 1.2.3.4, and that IP address is solely used by pornhub.com, it’s not hard to guess what you’re up to.

I was thinking Zalgo, but that works too

There’s a whole series of these. Not sure where the trail ended, but here’s one of the iterations of this site:

Can anyone comment on why the need for so much secrecy? My initial reaction was meh, but after seeing shell companies and the mayor under NDA, wtf?

For ethanol plants, I don’t think it would be obvious that you’re headed into an actively dangerous area. This link is just an example:

Imagine you’re driving along and see someone flapping their arms like they’re doing a weird dance. My first thought would not be “oh shit, ethanol fire!”

Fortunately families are fungible

Here’s a recent HN thread about the objects: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35937540

Metalworker status symbol seems compelling, as it explains several facts about them, and the knitting angle could be a chicken vs egg situation. Either knitters found an existing and relatively common object to be useful for their needs, or knitting is older than we think and the need for these tools drove metalworkers to decide that a hard-to-make tool was a good status symbol. Or maybe it’s both/and, with both needs influencing each other. I can easily imagine some metalworking culture deciding that this hard-to-make tool is a good status symbol, and they eventually turn it into something that’s not actually useful for the original purpose, but works great to show off.

Get pissed at NVIDIA. They’re the problem.

Interesting seeing the Windows 7 logo in the mix. Must’ve been some hardware added later like the LCD screen. Or maybe it’s a joke sticker, little hard to tell

Ignoring the downvotes, what do you mean? I can’t parse what you’re trying to say. Is it a joke of some sort?

They used to care quite a bit. Now they don’t. The Windows UI designers are all now using macbooks and don’t dogfood the UI they’re building, and it doesn’t really matter anyways because Windows isn’t the big untouchable moneymaker it once was.

To be pedantic, all of the parts were written to be unisex

The crew is unisex and all parts are interchangeable for men or women.

You probably wouldn’t be committing this, unless you’re backing up a heavily WIP branch. The issue is that if you’re developing locally and need to make a temporary change, you might comment something out, which then requires commenting another now-unused variable, which then requires commenting out yet another variable, and so on. Go isn’t helping you here, it’s wasting your time for no good reason. Just emit a warning and allow CI to be configured to reject warnings.
