I lose count..

Is Threads the one by the Twitter founder, or the one by Facebook? Or the one that's encrypted? Or is it about Twitter, Twitter threads? Or is it a Whatsapp thing??

Check your website's HTTPS:

As for PHP, and I can't read the TFA, it was a fantastic language, and still is. Look at what it enabled and continues to enable.

Back in my day you got predicted grades, went to an interview, got an offer (or didn't get, but that was rare, the interview would however sometimes result in a lower than standard offer) then got the grades, or didn't, but holding a cascade of offers down actual grades was common/recommended.

Was that system worse?

HTMX

Edit: I'm really not joking. The amount of resources - people, time, enterprise - pumped into front end frameworks is quite horrendous when most applications are CRUD, and most others are CRUD 80% of the time.

A university degree, for many jobs, is a box tick.

A university for many careers, is a signal.

A trade school is for jobs.

Skills are different from knowledge.

Etc.

A glut of corporate devices coming to a 2nd hand electronics market near you soon. Or eBay.

Which I love, as I enjoy near perfect condition slightly older ThinkPads for $200. Though I don't buy many, and have only recently 'upgraded' from an X220 to an X250.

But. Why? What is the pressing functionality in Windows 11 that past versions do not have. I get the need for a newer phone if someone really wants a better camera or a special purpose app, or just has to have many many apps that run all the time and need extra cores and memory because of the users' habits. I get it for servers where energy's a big part of the cost function. These are hardware needs. But not software needs. We're already mature without hitting the next tipping point which isn't now. MS's motive must be alternate.

Take an hour for yourself everyday.

Do some exercise like situps or skipping early in the morning; have a pullup bar across a door frame to use when the kids are brushing their teeth, and some pushup handles. Much more time effective than a gym unless you're really into something in particular.

Do whatever they like in the evening, get engrossed, forget forgetting your work, forget yourself. Their time is fascinating.

Edit: Get an early night. Enjoy doing even more tomorrow, today's done with.

Firefox. I've used it since Pheonix.

Why not? It's stable, respects privacy and has a thriving ecosystem of plugins.

If a campany's silly enough to make browser-specific websites any more, and some are, I just don't use that company.

I can't run blow for blow what'll work for you.

https://taxfoundation.org/location/wyoming/

https://taxfoundation.org/location/delaware/

For example.

But it's not just about tax. For privacy and having a Delaware-like specific business litigation process should you ever need it, Nevada's advantageous over Wyoming without needing much more in tax. Then for access to finance, a location that'll let you open a bank account for the business can be important (this might depend on US state). So there's a bit of YMMV, but nothing an Ask HN can't fix!

Why Singapore and not, say, Wyoming that has no corporate tax.

Personal tax isn't paid if you're not tax resident, and OP seems to be resident in Thailand so will have to follow relevant laws there.

If ASEAN free trade's of benefit, perhaps. Or if going for a Singapore ID card then having a profitable business might be worth it. Or access to SE Asia finance. Outside these, Wyoming!

That's an annoying way of presenting data: A chart without axis labels that requires hovering over a small dot just to find out the city name where the tooltip obscures nearby small dots and makes just highlighted dot hard to find again, excludes far away dots.

A table with 5 columns would have been easier for everyone.

Relevant news. A different company, MindSift.

Important themes. That someone has won a Nobel Prize is old news also, as others have.

But different ends of 'noble pursuits'.
