With 7200 languages in the world, Unicode has to handle things like bidirectional text, contextual shaping, ligatures, character reordering, and stacked characters. Organizations l…

The article definitely misrepresents what's in the video. He wasn't arrested for speaking 5 seconds over. He was standing right in front of the councilors shuffling papers back and…

For me it's driving. My best thinking and my best zoning happens on the road, especially if it's limited access highway with low traffic.

This account could be an interesting case study for the comprehensible input hypothesis of language acquisition. Narrowing the language domain and pre-studying vocabulary may have …

My personal rule is to only purchase over-the-counter meds with a single active ingredient. I'd rather separately take an antihistamine, expectorant and painkiller than a concoctio…

I wish you could play it without typing. I can't hear it over my Cherry MX browns.

Some examples of coded fields that may be known to be ascii: order name, department code, business title, cost center, location id, preferred language, account type…

Disk hardware may be faster relative to RAM, but if you're using typical serverless PaaS offerings to run a hosted application at modest operational scale, it's a heck of a lot che…

I think it's worth differentiating between personal projects done to learn or just for interest, and those that are trying to accomplish something. If I do a project for myself to …

As someone with an English "bottom" as in bottom-lands surname, I appreciate the deliberate silliness of "Longbottom" while leaning into a very traditional British sounding name.

FIDO2 wouldn't have helped the customers' accounts since valid session tokens were obtained. However, hardware tokens for the Okta customer service accounts may have blocked the th…

But it also seems likely that companies will decide to take advantage of the reduced liability (especially now it's confirmed and not just theorized) and investors will just price …

Of course, if you're using Oracle or DB2 you have other/bigger problems.

One benefit of regex that isn't mentioned in the article is that you can expect it to be available, at least the basics, in pretty much any programming, scripting, or even querying…

I looked up the snowman in several fonts and copied as best I could. Utter failure. If it can't find the snowman....

I'm not doing a CAT III. I'm saying the joke RNAV at the north pole using Rudolph should have been portrayed as a CAT III.

Thanks for sharing from a recent IRA pilot! I'm surprised they didn't do this as a CAT III ILS. A DA of 250' with Rudolph leaves a lot of margin for Santa to get snowed in.

Looking at the pantone color it appears more yellow to me. I have seen a lot of minor regional variation though, especially when weathering affects things, so they may be orangier …

Even if they don't use Azure AD as their primary SSO you can often federate indirectly via Azure. For many large corporations, an auth against Azure redirects to Microsoft, then to…

Children's clothing can get worn pretty hard too. Our stuff is definitely not in donation suitable condition by the time it's too small, although I suppose it might be different if…

I have designed task specific data structures/compression oriented around memory efficiency. In my experience this starts to crop up when datasets get big enough to trigger cost fo…

I find it helpful to use a range of descriptors. A "simple" task is easy and can be done quickly. A "straightforward" task is easy but may be larger in scope. A "tricky" task needs…

A third way to make a low density neighborhood solvent is to decrease the cost of the infrastructure. We live in a low density neighborhood with right-of-ways along property lines,…

You can't hold your breath in a low pressure environment. Also the low partial pressure of oxygen causes it to diffuse out of your blood instead of in. Even people who can hold the…
