With 7200 languages in the world, Unicode has to handle things like bidirectional text, contextual shaping, ligatures, character reordering, and stacked characters. Organizations like SIL Global regularly submit whole new scripts. With those sorts of flexibility requirements, it would be more surprising if Unicode lacked Turing complete formatting options.

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 forth for nearly a minute while the crowd was screaming and clapping. Officers asked him to leave, then told him to leave multiple times he categorically refused, all while public order was progressively deteriorating.

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 helped the effectiveness of the study: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_hypothesis

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 concoction where I have to read the whole label and do math while sick to separate the doses and timings.

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 cheaper to get a node with "normal" RAM and CPU, than it is to get decent IOPS. If you're a big iron company with big iron problems, you may need to think in different scaling terms, but for the SaaS hoi polloi the economics of hosting have somewhat preserved traditional notions of performance.

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 try things out and learn something I don't feel any pressure to finish the project. Once I've learned something or had some fun, who cares if it's "finished" or if anyone else will use it. On the other hand, sometimes I'll pick up something interesting that helps a friend or family member, or just that I need for myself, and there I'm pretty careful about scope. If I can't finish it in a couple weekends I'll look for the closest commercial solution unless it's a major once-in-a-decade passion project.

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 threat actor's access depending on the (undisclosed) method of attack.

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 in the risk difference.

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 environment.

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 in your area. You could always say they're yellange.

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 whatever enterprise SAML2 service they're running, then back to Microsoft to pick up an OIDC token or SAML transformation, then back to your app. Instead of supporting however many SAML 2 providers with custom claim mappings you get Azure's reasonably straightforward token. You can also pick up Azure group membership (which many companies maintain or sync from on-prem AD) which is nice for mapping application roles.

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 we bought more or more expensive items.
