Yes, the M language is used for the rules and calculations, though you have many other applications in python. This presentation[0] gives more info about why. TL;DR it started in the '80s.

Laravel kept complaining it couldn't convert Response Object to string or json encode. Looked nice though :-(

Thank you. It's fixed. Left and right arrow should hopefully work to browse.


Does it mean that all 4-letter-.com domain names are taken?


When they all were taken mainly by domainers they were going crazy that they'd be the new LLL.com's where the prices went from $xxx to $xx,xxx in a very short period of time.

However, what has happened with LLLL.com's is that they went very quickly to $xxx but have since dropped considerably so you can acquire LLLL.com's (4 letter.com's) from $15 upwards although if you want a really nice LLLL.com such as Made, Ball etc then those prices are different regardless of it being an LLLL or not.

Just have a look on Domainer forums such as Namepros, DNF, DigitalPoint etc and you can find some really cheap.


Yep, all 4 letter domains were registered back in 2007 (http://www.dotsauce.com/2007/11/02/four-letter-domains-all-r...).

Of course domains expire or are sold between owners so getting a 4 letter domain is still possible.


And you can get them for cheap. Got one .com as recently as last year, with the .org as a freebie. I'm now considering selling my 3 letters/numbers domain name - .net and .org.


How much was the .com? I've seen offered prices of $5K+ for fairly generic 4 letter domains...lot's of speculators buying and holdnig I guess...


Speculation- yes. I paid just below 100, and I considered that a tad expansive.

It's not a word but it is easy to say and to remember, and I needed one for a project, so I got it thinking I could reuse it later.


it does


Maybe it's more like Github doesn't pay proper attention to Google? Just guessing though, I haven't actually checked Github's SEO, and wouldn't event know where to begin.

The StackOverflow guys on the other hand have always said how they designed the site especially for Google, and keep on optimizing it accordingly.
