Okay. ftp://, http://, https:// are associate with protocols that operate on a common port. You can execute “cat /etc/protocol” (on macOS or Linux terminal) and see each associate common port and their protocol name.
The protocol is associated with a port that is open on a host, which is associated with a process in the OS and that process listens and “talks” those ways when a host connects with a client, like a web browser.
Though, until load balancers/reverse proxies came onto the scene, separating web traffic to a separate host may have been wise. But then again, that was also when it was more textual and dialup was common.
It’s been “hidden” since Chrome v95 or something. Also, many companies might just host their web service on their main domain name.
Also, hit Ctrl+Enter in any browser and it’ll tack that right on it and goto the webpage or hit a redirect or 5…whatever their architect setup.
google.com may be a CNAME to www.google.com (for example).
The www (or whatever hostname) is just to balance the web traffic from the other Internet services, like SMTP, POP3, IMAP, FTP, etc.
No, it was to distinguish your web server hostname from your other service host. For example, “www.google.com” is (possibly) a different A/AAAA record than “smtp.google.com” And google.com is the domain those hosts are in, for their forward lookup.
For record, in-addr.arpa. has all the IPv4 and ip6.arpa. has all the IPv6 reverse lookup records.
Here, hit Ctrl+Enter…after google/facebook and it’ll pop it right in there.
C, in some ways, is probably like a Xylophone because I always “get assembly” when I think it, and I know bits are the drum line and the CPU is the drummer.
I like this metaphor for this.
Uh, sometimes people just feel like “I could do it better” so they make a language or they’re in a CSci course that focused on writing a compiler/interpretter and so it started as coursework and just grew.
But yeah, others have mentioned that languages often come about because doing a thing in that language could’ve been done better so another took form.
You’re underselling P2025’s effects.
Takes up more land??!! Those hydrocarbons took several millions of years. We get power today with wind and solar.
Wait so we don’t have to watch it five times to figure it out?
He’s a pyschopath or is someone with ASD. I don’t know. Honestly, he preys on the details linking you and your friends and family, etc. He’s like the ultimate stalker, except you do it voluntarily. And then, the CIA buys the data through brokers, like the FBI and other alphabet agencies.
My last name makes me too identifiable. It is an Ellis Island misspelling that makes me the only person on this earth with my exact first and last name combo.
I used to think this, until someone on Facebook popped up with my name. They still feel like they cropped up (like some CIA cover name/id theft) because my brother worked in the Navy in the very town he worked in 20 years ago. But whatever.
Those seem like legal definitions because at the root of it it’s (IMO) “applying severe fear to coerce someone to act to avoid further acts of severe fear (usually in favor of the fear actor).”
