English speakers also often drop the "good" in "good morning" and "good night", reducing the phrase to a single noun that refers roughly to the current time.

The Japanese language does lend itself easily to an endless chain of run-on sentences where the subject quickly becomes blurry. Very useful for programmers and politicians alike. :p

Just another nitpick: "は" is pronounced as "wa" not "ha" when it is used as the topic marker, as in the well-known greeting "Konnichiwa".

This looks a lot like how Chinese characters are composed of individual "radicals", arranged like tetris blocks inside the same square box. Some of them affect the meaning of the letter, while others only signify the sound it&#x27

If you're going to change the order defined in RFC 4648, you might as well change the character set, too. Since one of the goals is to minimize the use of characters that can be confused for another, I would add back 8 and 9 and remove

Back-of-napkin calculation using really rough estimates: The average person exhales about 1kg of CO2 per day. That's 542L per day. Let's say you produce 20% of your daily CO2 output during the night, since your metabolism is lower

IE6 as well as some of the later versions also got the gamma wrong, so even if you used a non-transparent PNG the colors would be subtly different from the surrounding CSS colors.

The English version of php.net/manual is the authoritative source. It covers all the features found in the latest version. Just because it contains comments from decades ago doesn't mean that the content itself hasn't been up

It also depends on which platform you're on. Traditional forum software has lots of moderation tools at your disposal. Chat software tends to be more limited. GitHub has virtually no tooling for moderatings issues/PRs and blocking

Jeonse money is usually borrowed, too. At a much lower interest rate than you would get for a typical mortgage, because the landlord effectively guarantees that loan. Until recently, it's been much cheaper to pay interest on a jeonse l

The trick is that you can get a loan to pay the jeonse deposit. The interest rate for jeonse loans is considerably lower than for a regular mortgage, and until recently even lower than paying rent, because these loans are effectively guaran

On the other hand, a leaking high-pressure pipe is extremely noticeable [1], so any damage was probably fixed asap instead of being neglected for ages. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_New_York_City_steam_explo...

The strings generated by password managers are often incompatible with arbitrary requirements imposed by websites. You must use a symbol, but some symbols are forbidden and we're not going to tell you which ones! You can't have mo

Not a real statistic, but everyone I know in South Korea use their phones for personal banking. Especially people who aren't tech-savvy. At first it might have been because mobile apps were easier to use than the crap they had to go

Yeah, I was just responding to the "how about OS updates" part of the parent comment, for which scheduled downtime is a reasonable option. To protect your service from unscheduled downtime though, like a failing RAID array, you

AFAIK apachebench is so old it doesn't support TLS resumption, but I might be wrong.

Same machine, pegging a CPU core the whole time. So the server side only has 3 cores left to use.

by kijin 4y ago
Sounds totally off-the-shelf. I have a basic LAMP server running on a 4-core VM on a laptop. I just threw ApacheBench at it (not the fastest benchmarking tool, either -- it eats up 1 core all by itself), and it handles 1200 req/s TLS w

Compare the cost of operating multiple servers, on one hand, with the lost revenue from having weekly or monthly maintenance windows during which you just put up a Fail Whale page. Most people overestimate the latter by a huge margin.

In the parent's example, every value is in the attributes. Tags only serve as objects that contain those values, and never have "content" of their own. This style might not have been the original intent of XML, but at least i

I dunno where you got the idea that South Korea still clings to paper-based number cards, but OTP tokens have been in use for the better part of a decade here. Nowadays you don't even need hardware tokens, since it's considered OK

In Japan, a lot of people think that 36C is the norm. In South Korea, everyone thinks it has to be 36.5C. Either the average swings quite widely depending on your ethnicity and/or environment, or everyone is confused about how to round

Feyerabend may or may not have been right about physics or astronomy, but he sure as hell sounds like he knew what software engineering would be like. Should programs be written in a procedural, object-oriented, or functional style? Just ho

Wrong. There's random generation, and each randomly generated password is pinned to the site where it was generated. When you navigate to a different site, Firefox will generate a new password. There's no cross-site leaking.

Full migration can take months if not years. Meanwhile, a drop-in replacement will allow you to stop paying Oracle immediately. I wouldn't be too optimistic about ORM usage in the kinds of organizations that chose Oracle in the first p

But you don't really need to care about upstream security support. Linux distros offer long-term support for specific versions they decided to freeze on, and there are well-known third-party repositories (sury, remi, cloudlinux) that o

Still no standard to reliably detect when a virtual keyboard is covering half the viewport. And virtual keyboards have been around for much longer than dynamic toolbars on mobiles browsers!
