Etc, plus all the subdomains they insert before them. It makes it very easy to create phishing emails that look plausible.
Based on discussion on HN several days ago, I have started using Hashcards (markdown-based flash cards with FSRS; run from command line, but view cards in the browser). Once set up, it's pretty simple (e.g., no fiddly settings) which helps a lot. Getting new cards added is easy — especially with a Keyboard Maestro macro that I made (global keyboard shortcut pops up a window to enter Q/A and select a deck, i.e. md file, to append to; entering text only on the Q line creates a cloze-deletion card instead). Recommended.
My use case is drilling English --> target-language sentences, as well as law-related knowledge, miscellaneous facts, etc. Still mulling over what to do about other skills-based practices, à la Andy Matuschak's concept of "spaced everything".
If you're drilling English --> target-language sentences with spaced repetition, you might be interested in the free site I made to do just that.^[1] You can find the link in my bio. The source code is also on github.
Sentence practice is really the best way to do things imo. Studying vocabulary in isolation is so limited by comparison. So nice moves there.
^[1]: Actually, my thing does target-language to english drills, not the other way around.
"only for thing people would legitimately like to have."
Whilst that may be true for the most part, much of the art dealt nowadays is never displayed, just stored somewhere incredibly tax efficient until it's value has gone up enough to warrant selling.
In that respect I suspect it is much the same as bored apes. The price can go up while there are people with funds to put into things they don't care about. When the time comes that they have less money than the cost of things important to them, the 'value' can swiftly evaporate.
What is the right size for 4K monitor and the distance from our eyes?
I have Skyworth monitor at 27" already. If I set macos resolution at 4K, the default font is too small. My distance with the monitor is around 16,5".
My personal preference is 24" nominal for 4K (a 23.8" 4K display has 185ppi), running at @2x (1080p equivalent), because I keep my monitors a bit further back on my desk than others do. I run a triple Dell P2415Q setup. It was great when I started, but as more websites assume 1080 CSS pixels of width means I want tablet mode, its utility has decayed. Because of that I've gone from 3 vertical to 1 horizontal flanked by 2 vertical. These aren't made anymore, and for years nobody else was making monitors at this density. It seems they've become popular again since COVID, and ViewSonic even released the VP2488-4K this year, complete with Thunderbolt 4 and DCI-P3. Asus's offering at this size & resolution is the PA24US.
Another great option is 22" nominal (a 21.5" 4K display has 204ppi), also running at @2x. This is better if you keep the monitor closer to the keyboard side of your desk, or if your desk is not very deep. These are hard to find, and even when you do they're likely to be a portable monitor. Asus has a page for a PQ22UC but I can't tell if it is no longer available, or no longer sold in the US.
