I speak at conferences when I want to, sans twitter, linkedin, etc. Moreso - I find the amount of developer advocate written blogspam (let's just call it marketing crap) only contributes to the web problems - and hence have started to block... everything, including my employer's search results (personally, with a plugin in DuckDuckGo and Google.

Now our old record is gone and I can't create new one. I spoke with the support and they created a record for `subdomain.example.com.example.com` instead of `subdomain.example.com` from backend (lol). When I pointed it out, they politely said they cant do anything about it . Now I can do nothing to revert what I did. This was a subdomain used by few people in the company so it didn't cause any major problems. But it would have been disastrous otherwise(Some of our pings are already failing). We will be transferring the domain to another registrar ASAP. I would recommend anyone having a GoDaddy domain to transfer to another registrar. More examples: https://ift.tt/qyAvBFd Rant over.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Scratch for a blind child?
7 by nathell | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, My friend’s children are starting their adventure with programming at school with Scratch. Unfortunately, the eldest one is blind, and as Scratch is visual, he won’t be able to use it. A pity: the kid has probably the most vivid imagination of all people I know. Can you recommend an alternative? Something tactile or audial, perhaps? A quick googling yielded https://codejumper.com/ – is it worth the $1K it costs? Personal experience reports are most welcome. Thanks!
