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 thos

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

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 whil

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

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 an

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 (undiscl

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.

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 for performance sensitivity. This is especially true for

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 study to determine where it f

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, but no sidewalks, curbs, or below-ground storm drains. The

The operation of airfoils is non-intuitive and many (event most pilots) hold misconceptions about how they work. That does not mean that the physics is not well understood by those who design them. There maybe a few gaps (particularly for s
