iOS Safari (and other iOS browsers) auto redirects to http://ycombinator.dev/

Strange. I wouldn't expect that, because according to https://caniuse.com/#feat=stricttransportsecurity , the latest versions of Chrome and Safari for iOS do support Strict Transport Security.

I’m on iOS 12.2, which that site says supports Strict Transport Security.

I thought that the .dev extension had mandatory HTTPS due to HSTS preload. Yet, this loads as "Not Secure" HTTP for me.

According to https://get.dev/#benefits : >The .dev top-level domain is included on the HSTS preload list, making HTTPS required on all connections to .dev websites and pages without needing individual HSTS registration or configuration. What browser are you using that you are not redirected to https://yc.dev ? >Most major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE 11 and Edge) also have HSTS preload lists based on…

Chrome Version 71.0.3578.98, did not load as HTTPS

The "About" link at the top links to HTTPS, but it's a 404, because it points to //about instead of /about

This has been the topic of HN for the past few days for anything .dev. You should be using .test or .localhost for any development domains: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2606#section-2

Until someone buys test. Will a boycott .dev site movement take hold?

ICANN will never delegate .test. It's reserved per the linked RFC.

Yeah, have to update my local DNS routes. I had .dev pointed to 127.0.0.1

I did this years ago. Developers have been using .dev for decades, these TLDs are pretty new.

Should this list filter companies that are shutdown or have been acquired and no longer have an active product? Many of the links are "our incredible journey" acquihire announcements or just 404. I understand and appreciate the value of having a list of all developer services companies that have gone through YC, but as a developer resource page it's annoying to see a product that might fit my needs but is long shutdown.

.corp, .home, and .lan are also reserved, just not codified into an RFC yet.

People spent more money on them and are eager to show them off. For a very short period they will be a status symbol for internet companies.

Status symbol? Those who know won't likely be impressed. Those who don't can't be impressed. That might be what the buyer is hoping for, but the reality is they're probably mistaken.

"Impressed" might not be the right word. Jealous, maybe.

Would I like a .dev domain? Yep. Can I afford it? Nope. Therefore ... status symbol.

Is Paul Graham and Robert Morris's Arc language[a] being used for anything in production other than Y Combinator websites? [a] http://arclanguage.org/

https://www.laarc.io/ uses it. It's a HN clone created by an ex-employee from S2 (which develops Heroes of Newerth, a Dota clone). It's available on github as well. https://github.com/laarc/laarc

I don't think so, although as the sibling says there is hobby activity. Interestingly enough, though, reddit was originally written in arc, but they later rewrote it in python. Make of that what you will.

As sibling said, reddit was CL before it was Python. But more importantly, reddit predates Arc by more than two years. :)

And the main reason reddit was rewritten was library support. Doing simple things in CL was hard because you had to write it from scratch, but doing those things in Python was a simple library install.
