People do this for SEO purposes. They think that this increases the amount of backlinks to their site, thus increasing their rank in Google and other search engines.

This is less true than it used to be, but people still do it.

Sure, but it's not their site, it's mine!

And they're not obvious mouse slips like redirecting googl.com -> google.com - they're more of the form <verb>mydomain.com.

I was mostly interested in what the actual play from them here is tbh

Maybe they’ll try to build up traffic to your site from those domains and then push to sell them to you/extort by removing the redirects?

Just feels like such an odd play lol. If they could organically generate leads/traffic that I'd be willing to get extorted over, then surely they would also have the means to start a marketing agency that I'd be willing to pay far more for?

Backlinks to which site?

The fraudulent domains are only sending traffic to OP.

My guess is that they want to either phish visitors, or they want to ask OP for affiliate revenue, like a digital version of the guys who wash your windshield or your shoes without asking first, and then ask for money.

Or planning to threaten to divert organic traffic through the impersonation domains away from the canonical domain, if you don't pay them.

Wake up. Pee.

If it's Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, weigh myself.

Get breakfast ready for my kids. A banana, half a fiber bar, and a cup of milk.

Start my coffee. Nothing special, just an old school coffee maker that uses a standard filter. Three cups of water and three spoonfuls of coffee grounds.

Make my oatmeal. A quarter cup of oats and a half cup of water. Put it in the microwave for two minutes.

Eat breakfast with my kids. Then I drop them off a school.

Once I get home, I log into work and eat an orange. Afterwards I start my day.

Interested in weighing frequency. I was recently eating in a caloric surplus to aid in muscle gain and I didn't weigh myself super frequently, but as I'm coming up on a cut that'll be a bit harder for me, I'm interested in why you've personally chosen 3 days a week.

Weight variances from one day to the next are mostly just water. There's not a lot of point in weighing more than a few times a week.

Das Keyboard Model S Professional Wired Mechanical Keyboard

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008PFDUW2

It was the only mechanical keyboard I could find that fit the following requirements:

* no fancy RGB lights * full 101+ keyboard - meaning it has a numpad on the right

Das Keyboard for me too. I have two UK layout keyboards, one for the office and one for home.

The lack of RGB lights was a huge plus point!

> Does [mixing the syntax] happen to you too?

Yes. I switch between Java and JavaScript/TypeScript frequently. Probably the biggest syntax typo I make is switching the arrow functions: -> vs =>. Also, switching between the various `.includes`, `.contains`, `.size`, and `.length`.

Since my IDE catches it immediately, it doesn't really have any long-term affects.

I switch between Java, go, Ruby, python, and js. And yes I'm a mess. The worst is which versions of "strip" vs "trim" each language uses to remove white space from the sides of strings.

I dread the next time I have to interview because I'm going to look silly, accidentally adding or removing semicolons and parens around if statements and etc.

Honestly aside from those, I don't notice it too much and there's kind of a muscle memory for it eventually where the switching becomes mostly unconscious.

String manipulation and those damn strconv Itoa funcs in go are what kill me. I have to look that up every time and feel a complete idiot for it!

*affects* (noun)

- a set of observable manifestations of an experienced emotion : the facial expressions, gestures, postures, vocal intonations, etc., that typically accompany an emotion

- the conscious emotion that occurs in reaction to a thought or experience

I suppose the IDE doesn't show any emotion from these context switching hiccups.

This is what I use, too. It's a bit manual as you have to fill out the forms yourself and read the instructions.

But I also like filling out forms.

It may not be for everyone.

I've recently discovered `git switch -` and `git merge -`. It switches to the previous branch you were on or merges the previous branch you were own.

No need to know the name.

So if I need to pull updates on the previous branch I was on and merge them into my current branch, I can just:

    git switch -
    git pull
    git switch -
    git merge -

For those who may not know, `cd -` brings you to the previous directory.

Am I the only one who uses Outlook to read RSS feeds?

It's a bit awkward to set up, but it works fine.

> it's also a non-negotiable requirement since I have to drop off and pick up my child from school/aftercare.

while my commute wouldn't be anywhere near 3 hours (I live in the midwest, SW Ohio), that pretty much the same for me.

I have to drop my kids off no earlier than 8am and pick them up no earlier than 5pm. there is some wiggle room in terms of minutes, but not enough for a place that would want me to be there 8am to 5pm.

Thank you.

I was concerned that the modem might not be the bottleneck, but now I think it is.

> There’s no such thing as a “four-digit number”, only a four-digit base-10 numeral

Being further pedantic - aren't all digits base ten? I thought that was part of the definition of digit.

Other bases would have different words for their numbers - bit in binary, for example (which, yeah, I know, it a combination of the words "binary" and "digit").

If you really want to be pedantic, you say that every base is base 10 :) (in its own representation)

> Other bases would have different words for their numbers - bit in binary, for example

Do we have another example? I don't think there are special terms for "octal digits" or "hexadecimal digits".

> Being further pedantic - aren't all digits base ten? I thought that was part of the definition of digit.

We call computer circuits "digital" even though they work in base 2.

Regardless of the word's origin, digits are simply the symbols in a positional number system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_digit
