SiriusXM truncates a "The" prefix from artist names (so "The Cure" and "The Who" become "Cure" and "Who"). I always wondered how it would display The The. Would it be "The The" (special case), "The" (default removal of "The"), or an empty string "" (in the unlikely case the algorithm recursively removed "The" prefixes)? Eventually they played a The The song and the answer is "The The".
I always liked to imagine filing "The The" under "The, The".
On a related topic, the name of the company I work for starts with a colon. The rest of the name is a common adjective. As you can imagine, it is virtually ungooglable at the moment. Any thoughts on how to get around this?
It really is amazing how big a difference this makes. I've started using Apple's Aperture software recently (I'm well aware it's been discontinued). I really like it, but my biggest frustration is that it's difficult to learn how to do new things, because "aperture" is a generic word in photography. I can't search for the name and get results about the software.
Apple don't give a fuck.

better find a nickname, like D's community did, using dlang lol otherwise no one could find anything on language googling
The Go community had to do the same. Go. A language created by a company that makes a well known search engine.

One of my favorite mobile games is Antiyoy, by Yiotro ( https://github.com/yiotro/Antiyoy ) who also created other games like Vodobanka, Achikaps, and Bleentoro. The creator mentioned that he picked the names because they were pronounceable, unique, memorable, and searchable. That misses out on meaningfulness and familiarity, but those are expensive - by dropping those requirements, you gain easy SEO, trademarks, dom…

I was wondering how much it costs to open a company in the UK to do something like that, and it seems to be really cheap (and quick): a) Incorporate directly via Companies House The standard registration fee to set up a company is just £12 for the ‘standard’ Companies House web incorporation service, which takes up to 24 hours to turnaround. You can pay via credit card, debit card or PayPal. Source: https://www.itcon…
Issues such as what that company does after incorporation are another matter.

Can confirm. All I see are [X]'s. 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭. I'm curious if that copied the text or the placeholders. It's like hunter2 for the modern era.
