But it ignores them equally throughout the year… It’s not an exact measure, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a useful metric. So long as the measurement is unbiased and captures enough of the traffic, it can still be useful. The troughs in th

There are many ways to represent the JSON as binary… and all are equally valid. The easiest case to think about is with and without whitespace. Because what HMAC cares about are the byte[] values, not alphanumeric tokens. Then, if you coupl

In my state, I pay a special tax on my EV when I renew my license plates. It is based on fuel source. The point is to offset the lack of gas taxes I would be paying. Or it might just be a disincentive to buy an EV, it’s hard to tell sometim

I think you’ve found the root issue. There is no short term fix. And our current governmental setup isn’t capable of handling medium to long term problems. It has been this way for quite a while, so this issue isn’t new. Long-term political

Everything eventually needs to land, so when you’re talking about an area around an airport, at low altitudes, that’s going to be a difficult thing to do. If you mix in helicopter traffic that needs to run at lower altitudes anyway, that is

You’d need to pass in arguments… All it does is evaluate the expression you pass in as arguments. ./evalme.sh echo hello world The joke being that if you could transpile this evalme.sh script to a static binary, you’d effectiv

Here’s an alternative theory - and I have no idea if it is right. But, this might have happened this way because Anexia only have 12,000 VMs and Broadcom wanted to get rid of the account. I don’t know if Anexia was considered a large or m

Weren't enterprises already on yearly contracts with licenses and support included? I know developer tools from Microsoft in the 90's had subscriptions, but I never dealt with Enterprise licensing back then. But, given some of the

My guess is that those integration points are intended to be used by University owned and operated services. Having a service that the University doesn't control wanting to do this would be difficult to get approval. Student data is hi

They aren’t referring to the client side of this question. Airline websites generally have the quality of any generic corporate IT project… I assume what the parent was referring to is the backend systems like Sabre that coordinates travel

(Also not a lawyer) This is why I think Deno has a solid chance here. Sun may have filed for the trademark, but it’s not clear to me how much it has been used by Oracle. I also think this is why this step is likely the beginning of litigati

I expect that this was the predicted outcome? And that all we are seeing here is the beginning of the process, rather than the end? On the face of it, JavaScript seems like a pretty solid trademark. But, to me, it’s really not clear how muc

What does tmux control mode do in practice? I use both (iterm2 and tmux), but not for this specific reason. I have just used both as a default for a long time. So, what magic am I using without realizing it?

With my mechanical keyboard, I have had a tendency to break a few (specific) keys. I got around it by 3D printing a few blank keys. So long as I know where the N and M keys are, that's all that matters :)

Admittedly, I don’t think it is common, but I think there was a project a few years ago (Google?) that tried to compress HTML using at least a partially fixed dictionary. Nowadays though, it’s apparently still something that’s being tried.

The term definitely preceded the organization. The term was in use for years before OSI was formed. And OSI was clearly formed in order to provide some clarity to what was meant by “open source”. In other words, if there was no ambiguity in

Might as well add the link for the Nature commentary, which in and of itself, is a pretty interesting read. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00887-y Unsurprisingly, the main motivator is greater control. But
