Ah, thanks! Admittedly I Googled that one, it didn't feel right...

All various motorcycle helmet standards. ECE is the EU standard, DOT is the US Department of Transportation standard, FIM is another, stricter EU standard (Functional Independence Measure), and Snell is not an acronym but is an independent

Are they even doing "social invites"? It sounded like it was a queue where they let more users in as they gain confidence in scaling the platform.

In the hypothetical, though, Cisco is neither a vendor or a supplier to Datadog.

It knows many of the wildcard-served customer subdomains of one of my former employers. (They're probably just scraped from search or something, but a wildcard is not sufficient to prevent discovery.)

I haven't tried it myself, but you can use AppleScript and System Events to foreground an app and send it keystrokes, find UI elements, and click things. It might be a little bit tricky because of the Electron part, but I think that wi

The font has a slashed 0 for use in alphanumerics and an open 0 for use in numerics. There's discussion of it in other comments here. I imagine pipes aren't used beside uppercase I in cockpits. The odd serif on the 1 is to ensure

No, and by my understanding it can't be, as the algorithm is now permanent. But it's worse than that, there are confusables within small distances of each other: https://cybergibbons.com/security-2/why-what3wo

Introductory math word problems often involve unrealistic quantities of things. "Alice had 100 oranges and Bob took two. How many does Alice have?" That sort of thing.

I thought the same (Zulu), and the RFC 3339 definition for "Z" mentions "Zulu" as well. Nautical time has also used Z/Zulu for 0-offset since before World War II.

I'm not even sure if it's an oversimplification or misconception. I think it might just be a plain old error, and the author meant to write "takes a Docker image".

Mike Hoch is, in fact real[1], but that kind of word game is common. Heywood Jablome, Hugh Jass, Amanda Huggenkiss... There was a running gag on The Simpsons where Bart would prank call Moe's Tavern with names like these.[2] [1] https

Oops, right, 5+4, not 9+4. Counting is hard. But yeah, what I meant to express was that Canada doesn't have a lower-precision version in regular use.

by wlonkly 3y ago
It fails in the other direction in Canada, where a specific postal code works like a 9+4 zip code, in that it might identify one side of one block of a street, so it doesn't give you much additional privacy through precision loss anywa

I was under the impression that a lot of the cloud provider plugins were developed in close collaboration with, or even by, the cloud providers themselves. At a glance, three of the top four contributors to the AWS provider are from outside

I wouldn't take quite as strong a position as this, but as public pianos go, airports are a weird one to me, because if you're in an airport you have no choice but to be there. Subway piano? I'm only in the station for a whil

I like calling it "bullshitting", because the art of bullshitting isn't about lying, it's about not caring whether or not things are true if they can make a good story. (But seriously, "confabulate" is much bet
