The final version of HP-UX has, as of 3 days ago, officially hit “obsolescence” and is no longer supported.
While most versions of HP-UX had hit “end of life” some years back, version 11i v3 (specifically for Itanium servers) was still supported. At least… until the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve.
HP-UX joins the likes of IRIX (support ended in 2013).
Luckily there are still a few classic style UNIX systems in production… but the list is growing smaller with each passing year.
Het ondertekenen van de Eindrekening en verantwoording is een vorm van décharge en dat houdt in dat de oude bewindvoerder door de nieuwe bewindvoerder gevrijwaard wordt van aansprakelijkheid voor het gevoerde bewind.
Cool, since I switched to Let’s Encrypt a long while ago, I missed that various tools now require TLS expiration be no longer than 398 days away (and preferably even 397 days).
It equals one leap year + one month + “a little room to handle the messiness of dates.”
then posts a lot of quotes from references to the history on how that reason came to be. I have archived and listed the links below.
Most of the discussion was during a very hectic time in life: after a single sided bad accident my mentally retarded brother was in and assisting him during his recovery period, I developed cancer and had extensive treatments against it. All the more reason for missing all this:
On July 17, 2025, the News Media Alliance reported that it had taken down the website.
It’s impossible to enjoy the content of online media by paying (for instance because payment systems are not compatible, but also because those media often have region blocks), so this is to longer ladders (and understanding how ladders work):
De gemeente Hollands Kroon dreigt voor ruim 600.000 euro het schip in te gaan door het ruimen van zo’n 4000 scooters van het failliete deelscooterbedrijf Go Sharing. De Noord-Hollandse gemeente probeert de schade te verhalen op het bedrijf. Maar omdat Go Sharing enkele malen van eigenaar wisselde en in november failliet ging, is de kans op succes gering.
Kevlin uses the same Leap Year case as I have taught since the mid 1990’s: I like the way we both approach software development, though I can still learn a lot from Kevlin.
Non-programmers understand more than you might expect, just like you can get much more from a foreign news paper than you would think at first thought
You should know how to draw a Venn diagram with 4 sets allowing *all* combinations of those (search for “Venn’s four-set diagram using ellipses” in the link on the left)
Kevlin shows these 4 sets:
Common cases
Simple cases
Boundary cases
Edge cases
The first two and last two sound similar. They aren’t.
Wrinkles and various levels of code coverage: don’t fool yourself as that is easy to do
The way of thinking is “thorough” (note from self: AI is not thorough, it is statistics)
Calendars are difficult (and depending a lot on the period and region their usage are valid for) – I already knew that, but it was good to be reminded off; see presentations by Jon Skeet for more information on it, see the blog tag Jon Skeet, or for instance these links:
