fwiw, I'd start the loop at i=1000000, on the assumption that anything less is going to fail the "three digits" test once zero-padded. A bit silly granted, but it'll let you ditch half the zero-padding. (Only half, but

It falls under the same umbrella as trespassing. You have permission to remain on private property within set rules. From a legal point of view, it’s no different to “no shirt no service”. (yes, even with a permit. I have a government-iss

Ours is 8 weeks pay per year worked. I’ve got a friend going through this at the moment, with 20 years under his belt. You may not be that surprised to hear that he’s not bitter at all, and has every intention of working ‘till his last day

I realise we're beating a dead horse at this point, but to my mind, "what POSIX says" is a red herring. It's the unexpected behaviour that's the problem (as you point out). Say I have two users, "nodigit"

This is pretty much a solved problem. If your ticketting system can’t handle this, take your vendor to task over it. We send automated notifications from an address that’s manned by humans. Approximately 14000 a day. Rules for out-of-off

I'm not sure how much that'll really help. It doesn't take too much imagination to think that perhaps Google's heuristics will rank this TLD poorly. Trying to scam google over $600 feels like a poor strategy for a scam

I don't believe it's hardcoded, it's provided in the package list from the repo. eg, "apt-cache show apache2 | grep ^Supported".

For currency, I think it's just a mental consistency. I type 1%, I say one percent. I type $1, I say dollar one? I understand it's not correct at all. But I can internally justify why people type "1$" when they'r

We have a WM project on azure, so I don't think it's the later. But we also had issues with Amazon not wanting to run an appliance on vmware, so apparently it works both ways.

#1 is an interesting point. Use a $5 nodemcu instead of a $9 pi. Not only do you save $4, but you get a free introduction to the world of horrible ssl implementations!

Because it's a British magazine. In the British usage of the word, a sailboat is a dinghy if it's open-top, and yacht if it has an enclosed cabin. He can close his hatch creating a sealed interior, so it's a yacht. (We very

I was playing with this today: at least on OSX, I couldn't find a browser that reasonably handled "I speak more than one language comfortably" out of the box (eg, using the OS settings). Safari: sends the primary OS/envi

The problem is that it's surprisingly difficult to make accept-language negotiation actually work (unless users specifically dig into their configuration and make it so, no browser I've tried gets this right out of the box) Lets t

I'm not convinced it'd work. Not to be mean at all, just realistic. The huge bulk of this tax bill was from exercising stock options. According to another commenter here, 44% on $1.34B earnings from these options. So given a $1.

292billion AD is where 2^63 seconds from 1970 would get us - eg, what we'd get if we just converted the existing epoch to 64bit. This is why I call nanoseconds a 'free' feature - it's clear it's time to solve the &#

What's changed here (for osx atleast) is that there's an Intel build. There was starcraft for MacOS (or 'classic'), and then a carbonized starcraft for OSX-ppc. But ppc support ended in 10.6, and this is the first time

You're right, of course. I wish I could say this was the first time I've confused milli~ with millionth.

What they missed with nanosecond timestamps is that it's a feature which is essentially free - What you're actually looking at is 64bit timestamps. With the 'unix epoch' way of doing things (counting seconds since 1970),

I keep seeing $1350 mentioned. It's not a ceiling. $1350 (or 4x the cost of the leg, whichever is lower), is the maximum the airline is legally obligated to offer an involuntary refused-boarding. They're free to offer $2000, $30

That's pretty close to what we have at the moment. What went wrong with 'the doctor' wasn't the compensation structure, or even that it was involuntary. It was simply a failure in dispute resolution. (and, imho, a comp

Here's the fun part. The cash/cheque option is available if it was involuntary. But the option only has to be available, usually you have to ask for it. Not telling you that option exists is legit, telling you that option doesn

I have to agree that sharing the UI seems like a dead-end. We saw this in the leap from WinCE to the iPhone, and from tablets that were essentially laptops with the monitor facing outwards, to iOS & android tablets. Besides the hardwar
