Too bad, indeed. It's well-defined in javascript (and thus, appropriate in this admittedly niche context). It's non-portable across different regex engines, yes.
I wouldn't say they're "so much longer" now (since the pitch clock was implemented, that is). This year, 9 inning games averaged 2:38. In 1960, they ran 2:33. There are lots of factors that contribute to longer…
If you think of it more as a meditative time, putting it on your calendar seems to make perfect sense. Simple quiet off time is really easy to skip. Not work, not chores, not take a nap, not make dinner, not read HN,…
I'm interested in the general thrust, but this article is sloppy at best. > Check digit: The final digit is essentially used to validate the prior 14 digits with an algorithm. Similar digits exist in other types of…
A few come to mind... The executive order (and associated DoC/NTIA RFC) was long, and dense with both legal references and political platitudes. Not great reading, (though the EO got a good amount of discussion here).…
Huh. I hadn't checked it, but plain mkfs does create ext2. Interesting. I agree, ext4 seems a sensible baseline today.
This is completely orthogonal, and not particularly relevant. That said, I didn't know this was the case. In fact, I'd assume an unspecified mkfs would complain these days. 1) mkfs is a userspace utility. Its defaults…
Genuinely curious: how do other languages manage? Surely societies adopt words, idioms, shorthand phrases that haven't (yet) been officially sanctioned? There's plenty professional jargon that, while not "proper"…
Agreed on the general diffusion of knowledge; I think it's probably a step in the right direction for various cultures to have some basic understanding of those with which they are not personally familiar. We Americans…
That's the basic idea, yes. The link in the caption [https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61llDf3WTvL...] is unusually helpful, showing each port using four connectors of the uplink. So: 100mbps max, and…
