Ummm… You know, domain names have use cases other than hosting websites. It’s just a mapping from ASCII strings to IP addresses.

Re:Cheap material converts heat to electricity
on Tuesday August 03, 2021 @09:08AM (#28048675)
You can’t. The second law of thermodynamics prohibits it.
“It is impossible to devise a cyclically operating device, the sole effect of which is to absorb energy in the form of heat from a single thermal reservoir and to deliver an equivalent amount of work.”
Re:Cheap material converts heat to electricity
on Tuesday August 03, 2021 @08:49AM (#28048523)
That’s thermodynamically impossible.
Re:Cheap material converts heat to electricity

Nitpick: you can’t convert heat to electricity. You need a heat differential.

You only need clang and codesign to build an app.
Re:New in Git: switch and restore
on Sunday August 01, 2021 @09:52AM (#28026241)
Exactly. The way I see it is that “checkout” has two arguments:
- the commit you want to checkout, which defaults to HEAD
- the files you want to checkout, which defaults to everything
Simple as.

Same reason you can’t install custom system fonts on iOS. They want to keep the iOS experience coherent. If you don’t like it, buy Android.
Edit: a system font is a font that system dialogs use. Not just any random custom font installed in the font library.
