Nice! Does it work on a Fire TV Stick?


Is churning still possible in the US? I thought Amex sign-up bonuses were only awarded once.

In the UK you can still cancel and re-apply after 24 months. It used to be 6 months but those good days are long gone...


Amex has a once in a lifetime rule for each card and now they are getting even stricter. But there are still a lot of cards you can go through if you do them in the right order between the business and personal cards.

But there is still Chase, CapitalOne and Citi. The Chase Ink Business cards you can churn as much as you want and most of the other cards have either a 24 or 48 month rule


Getting rewards that vastly exceed the costs is still very possible in the US. The days of “I travel first class internationally for free every few months and change cards as often” are long gone though. That pattern is trivially recognizable and most of the better rewards card providers will reject folks with that history even if they have perfect credit otherwise.


Not with Chase Ink cards. There are people who do one a quarter


I have to admit I didn’t do any research and assumed that .me was available to anyone because I noticed it around the same time domains such as .app, .blog, etc. came out. Honestly thought it was supposed to mean something like ‘Hey it’s me’.

So I registered <surname>.me for me to use <name>@<surname>.me as email address.

My surname with generic domains such as .com, .net, etc was already registered and didn’t feel like registering my full name. This is pure laziness, didn’t want to use something like hello or contact @<fullname>.com as email.


I reassure you that my former schoolmate whose now a president of MNE (.me) country won't touch your @pm.me domain lol


Oh shoot, I always give out my @pm.me for simplicity's sake. Guess I should start using protonmail.com instead


Same here. I do have .dev as well though if things go south.


Or .me like Proton Mail (pm.me)…


Says a lot when you had to make a choice between a beautiful domain name, or having to trust the government of Montenegro for all your lifetime for a super sensitive e-mail service.

At least Montenegro is managing their own ccTLD, not like some mysterious islands (.io, .pw, etc).


But Montenegro has had hundreds of years of sovereign instability, i.e. it has been swallowed several times by other entities. I guess it was on .yu until the 21st century. It's probably stable for now, but nothing to say it won't get swallowed again and lose its TLD.


Montenegro is part of NATO. I would argue that mitigates the instability issue.


If we're going back hundreds of years then there's no ccTLD that is worthy, not the US not any commonwealth nation, nowhere....


Mailfence.com offers `mf.me`. Mailfence could go even further by offering email addresses under `@ba.mf.me`.

If someone secured the `.mf` ccTLD, they could grab other Pulp Fiction fans who want to be `<name>@bad.mf`.


.mf seems to be half of a tiny Caribbean island: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Martin_(island)


I actually didn't know that .me was a cctld so now I have surname.me and am kinda worried. I also own surname.dev but I'm not sure if my wife would like to change email addresses...


Can it be enjoyed by some ways other than smoking? Not trying to troll here, its smell honestly makes me want to vomit.


2nd to edibles. As soon as I had legal access to edibles, I switched to edibles almost 100% exclusively.

It's much easier to just pop a candy in my mouth than to pack up a bong or vape. (And there's no smell to deal with, which is useful with children around.)

The dosage control is significantly easier than smoking. Where I live, the amounts of psychoactive chemicals per dose are printed on the packaging.

Just make sure you start with one (or a half) dose, and wait 2-3 hours before you take any more.

Also, if you want a "smoking" experience, without the smoke, vaping does come close. FYI: With vaping it's super-easy to get an overwhelming dose, so be careful.


Edibles and vaporizing are essentially smell free


It’s also a great pain cream for topical use. As well as vapour, or edibles/drinks.


Yeah it's a pain. Here in the UK it's not just FAANG and start ups. Most hedge funds and asset managers are following that interview style.

Even old school investment banks are joining the trend, which I find baffling because the comp package is nowhere near the above.


Agreed, such a brilliant game


forwardemail.net : if you are a Fastmail user does it provide you any benefit? Fastmail already has a catch-all feature.


Have a look at this - https://pragmaticstudio.com

They have courses on Elixir, Phoenix and today have just released a LiveView course.


Just to add to your comment: I've been running through the free LiveView course and it's been really great. I'm excited to finish it and continue with the pro one!


Just adding that I found those courses really helpful as well.


How do people usually tackle AdventOfCode? Most elegant/concise solution or best performant?

Asking because for example most solutions to Day 1 I've seen are O(n^2)


I aim for "first thing that I can get to work and doesn't take more than 20 seconds". Usually they run in under 2 (Common Lisp is my language of choice). Then for the part 2 portions I may have to optimize.

I sometimes go back and clean up my solutions, though I aim for a combination of clarity and performance if I do that, clarity first.


Unless I'm really unhappy with my solution, I stick with the first thing I write that spits out the correct answer. Since a lot of the problems require you to do some potentially interesting optimization to get an answer in a reasonable amount of time, I don't bother optimizing the ones that don't.
