I wonder if these things ever pay off, or if it just ends up attracting a lot of opportunities to be part of a normal application system where it's a one-way system of proving your worth to the company?

Oh noes you just doxxed their email address on the https
It's probably more accurate to "Oh noes this HN post is going to get this guy a few dozen really lucrative job offers". Doxxing usually implies ill intent but having your personal information broadcast to HN is likely only to result in a few of the hiring managers that haunt here sending a cold offer.
Yes I thought so, as in you're quoted thing was exactly what I meant, sarcasm doesn't serialise well

#83"That's very nice but can you email me a copy in Microsoft Word DOCX format please?"
I’m just about to live this hell. On advice from a friend, my response will be a simple one: no, because it doesn’t exist. It was written in Markdown [0]. Here’s a PDF.
I’m expecting the usual pushback, and will reciprocate. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Some middlebox in your network is probably mucking with something. Are you behind a corporate firewall?

That could be a feature if he didn't want to work at companies that don't have a IPv6 network :)
Doesn't seem to be the case, apple.com does not have an AAAA record. :( Also shame on Microsoft for no full IPv6 support in WSL2.

apple.com is just a redirect to www.apple.com, which does have IPv6.
Apple has been slowly but surely adding IPv6 to their public network services - App Store and OS downloads come over IPv6, and their NTP resolver just added IPv6 support.
I guess the department that controls that apple.com -> www.apple.com redirect just hasn't bothered, which is interesting because such a simple, dumb redirect service is one of the easiest things to dual-stack (as in it probably doesn't store IPs or have to worry about blocking at all, it just responds with a 301)

It’s a simple dynamic programming problem. /s

No, should be a native IPv6 consumer ISP... But now that you mention it, most other IPv6 sites act like this as well. Sorry, it's probably my ISP or maybe my router. Guess I haven't been tracerouting IPv6 much since getting native IPv6 connectivity.

I think that many HRs would be suspicious about somebody who worked at each job for 2.261 ms.
