Apps may be all we think about, but there are plenty of unique domains out there being hosted. However, only about 0.06 percent of those are active. HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

What a silly title.
It's like saying "139 billion people now exist, but most are dead".
What they obviously mean is that 1.71bn domain names have been registered.
Given the amount of redirection (e.g. by companies who register the .com, .net, .org, etc, versions of a site), we can probably cut that down by 10-15%.
Given the number of "Get your own site for 50c!" special offers per year, encouraging people to register domains that they will never do anything with, another 15-20%.
Given the number of people who have a *Great Idea!* that will make them the next Internet billionaire, but who come to realise that there's work involved in that, and give up, another 2-4%.
Given the number of "I want to show the world how creative/clever/artistic I am!" web-sites that are abandoned after a few weeks, when people realise that having two mediocre ideas per lifetime does not make you a genius, another 10-15%.
Given the number of people who thought it would be easy to maintain a web-site, but end up deciding that it's not worth all the work, another 10-15%.
Then there are companies who went out of business, companies that never really existed (very common, on the web), and other failed enterprises -- 10-15%, perhaps more.
So that means that somewhere between a tenth and half of sites with unique domain names actually "exist".
Don't count the dead with the living; you'll be at it all day.

Human speech conveys information at 39 bits per second on average. I knew I should have wired myself for CAT6

Does this mean yelling numbers down the phone might be better than using a modem?

Of course, that average is knocked down by the current large number of extreme-right-wing politicians in the world, who convey between 2 and -23 bits of information per second.

Add to that the current large number of extreme-left-wing idiots and we're all positively swimming in a blackhole of negative information conveyance.

Extreme left-wingers aren't inveterate liars like extreme right-wingers; they're just stupid.

There's plenty of lying on both extremes and plenty of stoopink too.

IDC data shows a big jump in AI systems spending through 2023 and enterprises will need a host of IT services help to get projects implemented. "Every woman every man, join the caravan of love"

I'm refusing to go consultant in AI fields because too much bullsh1t has been spread about AI, so expectations are currently flying off in all kinds of ridiculous directions.
Expect a medium term cave-in, when people start to realise the limitations and the costs. It won't be as bad as the Internet bubble, but it will be far more damaging to individuals' reputations.

Yeah, you read it correctly, one of the World's greatest classic puzzles (the queen's puzzle) has been solved inside out
The new program can generate all possible solutons for all numbers provided the number is greater than 3. The special thing about the program is that provided we have some occupied squares (some squares selected), it will generate the remaining squares such that no queen attacks the selected squares
It's a beatiful thing the script got solved as it was claimed that the solution can help in solving real life problems including one of Millenium Prize Problems (P VS NP)
This is just too cool

This is not the place for that.
If you want to share your work, then you should write an article describing your solution. It would make an awesome article. But your post is more likely to be considered as a site-driving attempt, and could cause your account to be terminated.

Thanks man. I'll make the right changes

Which would begin by removing the spammy links from your original post.

I tried, but I was told I can't delete top level messages while they have comments
I'll just remove the links as you suggested

In November 2014, .NET Core was born. It was the birth of a new revolutionary open-source era for the .NET ecosystem, but that wasn’t without distress. With it came a mass wave of confusion and frustration. You are here.

The Australian software firm is also adding premium tiers for Jira and Confluence users, part of its plan to entice more customers onto its cloud services. The first hit is free
|
|
|
|
|
Given the current state of privacy laws in Australia, I would strongly advise against using cloud services that originate from there.
AUS has legislation that government workers (and therefore their dotty aunties, perverse drunken uncles, and evil twins) must be given "access to encrypted communications", i.e. back doors through any encryption.
That's not an element that you want to have to factor into your business plan.

I say... cool idea.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
