Does anyone know I can still reach this 'real' website if you're running Valet locally? I get 'Valet - 404 - Not Found' error, since Valet thinks 'yc' is a known Link or Address.

On the one question currently in that section, they have a diversity of viewpoints from the panel. There's no evident echo chamber effect. Anyhow, it would be rejecting the argument of the blog post to link to it there, and the blog post itself is a bit of an increase incoherent mess (the author proudly identifies as female, adopting one label, and seems to equally proudly adopt the tech worker label, yet rejects the…
Sure, but overdoing it and confusing labels and abstractions with the things they represent can also keep a human from being more aware of the world and their deeds in it. I gladly reject the label "women in tech", but mostly because I actually do reject the label "tech" (and all stemming from that) to begin with, that's an umbrella so huge as to be meaningless. It's like "business", yeah I know what it is, just like…

Sure, abstractions are not the underlying reality, the map is not the territory, and the Tao that can be told is not the true Tao. That doesn't mean that it is necessary to “reject all labels” as a fundamental requirement for inclusiveness, or even that rejecting all labels is useful or even possible given the way human minds work. It certainly means we need to understand that all labels obscure as well as explain, and understand where each is useful and where each is counterproductive.
But that's not what the blog post in question is arguing, or if it is intended to be it is not argued well.

OK, I figured it out! I switched .dev to .test domain with:
`valet tld test`

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.
I'm curious because I thought the main draw of CL was that it was easy as heck to roll your own library support.

It's easy to roll anything in CL if you know what you're doing, but making it talk wsgi or generate pngs isn't trivial, no matter what language you're writing it in.

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
.corp, .home, and .lan are also reserved, just not codified into an RFC yet.
> .corp, .home, and .lan are also reserved, just not codified into an RFC yet.
They aren't reserved as the term is usually used for domains. Reservations don't exist in outside of those codified in RFCs; the IANA is the party that reserves domains and the full current list of reserved special use domains is here:
https://www.iana.org/assignments/special-use-domain-names/sp...
More general info on reserved domains is here:
https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved
Note that of those domains you falsely describe as reserved, .home was suggested as a special use domain in RFC 7788, but that was updated by RFC 8375 to the reserved domain .home.arpa.
.home, .corp, and .mail (but not .lan, AFAICT) are subject to a ICANN policy decision against granting delegations as TLDs, though, which means they won't become real TLDs while that policy is in effect (it doesn't mean they won't get reserved for a use which might conflict with what you might adopt them for, the way .local has for some uses, though.)

#87Is "Beating the Averages" still relevant in 2019?
I see it pretty high up on the site, and I thought the consensus is that nowadays most languages have enough lispy and functional features to give similar productivity.
Is there any benefit from hyperflexible languages high enough to outweigh the benefits of readily available libraries?

A somewhat out-of-date Chromium (69). I should upgrade, but I'm surprised the change is that recent.
In Chromium, the whole HSTS preload list is expired if it gets too out of date, as domains are both added to and removed from the list. So you're giving up real security by running an out-of-date browser. Not only are HSTS-preloaded TLDs not secured, but even, say, gmail.com or yourbank.com aren't. See: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/compon... I think it'd be better to use an out-of-date list i…
The source code says the data is only valid for 10 weeks. If Google releases a new version of Chrome every 6 weeks, then a user could never skip a single version of Chrome without becoming vulnerable.
That doesn't seem like it's enough time. I would expect one year or at least 6 months.

When someone says "reject labels", I basically hear "don't think primarily in terms of them". I didn't take it as "don't ever speak it", but more "don't put it front, middle and last, 24/7". I can imagine it can be annoying/exhausting, part of feeling welcome is the understanding that it's perfectly normal for one to be there, I think.
