I’ve used .ME in the past, but then I settled on just using a .COM. The cost difference was negligible and nobody ever queries a .COM – I had people thinking my .ME was a mistake.
Unless you desperately want COMMONNAME.TLD, I’d go with the .COM for the lack of headaches. They’re ~$20 a year, which doesn’t seem like much money for the simplicity.
That’s an interesting minor but significant difference. I’m from the UK, and both of my house keys (Yale, Abloy) have a distinct ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ orientation. Every house key I’ve ever had has been like this. The keys for my desk drawer and filing cabinets too.
I'm in Ireland, and most people have those keys too. But those things are too easy to open with a bump key. For the last 15 years I've insisted on proper secure locks and keys. The most I've ever had to pay to retrofit one is €90 (bought it in town and fitted it myself). I got 5 keys with that lock. My neighbour replaced his too, after I demonstrated a bump key to him.
Having a symmetrical key isn't something that I even cared about but I suppose it's a bonus.

It’s an interesting question. I don’t know if there’s any evidence of wolf domestication by Neanderthals. If they didn’t domesticate them, it would be interesting to try to work out why – maybe there’s a subtle difference in psychology between H. Sapiens and H. Neanderthalensis that enabled us to bridge that gap but not them?
There isn't a whole lot of evidence for how Neanderthals lived. We have only discovered remnants of 400 Neanderthals (about 30 mostly-complete skeletons).
In a lot of cases (most?) even plain-text email is rendered in proportional fonts which don’t work for ASCII art.
The default for all mobile email clients, Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail is now to render plain-text in proportional. Those who get it monospaced have chosen to do that. It’s also made worse by Outlook’s insistence on removing ‘extra’ linebreaks by default. AFAIK, there’s no way to switch off that behaviour except email-by-email, and you can’t know if your recipient has it or not.
There is still one place it's guaranteed to work, code.
I have occasionally used small ASCII based diagrams inside comment blocks where it felt appropriate and it works very nicely... I'm not a big documentation inside code guy, but like to include it sparingly for the most unobvious code.
Limited to more utilitarian "art", but it at least is guaranteed to work, I've never seen or heard of anyone successfully using proportional fonts for programming (although I have seen people try).
I still dabble in ASCII art a bit, mostly in HTML comments and email headers. It’s kind of a difficult art-form to practice now, given that monospaced text is relatively rare.
Here’s are my pets in ASCII, who go out in the headers of my emails:
For anyone thinking that this is an insignificant saving of "only" 32kb, it's really important to remember that many of the site's users will be amongst the poorest in society. Many of them will be accessing it using the oldest, slowest devices; things far slower than the average HN reader's last few phones. Anything that can be done make the site work better for them is worth the effort.
If you load www.gov.uk, you'll see it's loading several fonts (each of which is roughly equal to the size of jquery), google analytics, several javascript bundles, and other crap. It is far from simple effective HTML as described by the link.
jQuery is probably the least of their problems. And ironically, the blog with the jquery article on it loads jquery! I realize it's not part of the same site.
I guess that the main benefit is not the saved 32kbytes, but rather the CPU cycles that are saved by not using jquery...
"jQuery is probably the least of their problems" : they also explicitly said that removing it was a low-priority background task, yet I like that mindset where they care about people having low-bandwidth or low-end devices "removing jQuery means that 32Kb of JavaScript has been removed from the majority of pages on GOV.UK. GOV.UK is already quite fast to load and for many users this will make no noticeable difference. However, the change for users on a low bandwidth connection or lower specification device will be much more noticeable, resulting in significantly improved page download speed and performance"
I am totally stumped – how do you enable this on the Mac? I can’t find the option at all, and Google is no help.
