This is an extremely important point, and I find it weird to see so few people mentioning it. I run my own mail server and have been for years. My e-mails use SPF, DKIM, DMARC, I have a reverse DNS record set up, a score of 100/100 on

I find it fascinating that some people fail to understand that. It's so obvious. Emojis are hugely useful to convey intent and emotion. But they're relatively new, so I suppose they're automatically stupid, get off my lawn et

That's punycode. Your browser is configured to display everything as ascii, using the punycode "transcoding". It's a good practice, see the binance hack that used binance.com with a tiny diacritic on one of the letters,

I find this trend of despising emojis quite pretentious and annoying. They are very useful in some circumstances. Acting like anyone using them is a dumb teenager, or they will automatically ruin a community, is completely absurd.

A fata morgana is a special type of superior mirage, where the object is heavily distorted, often to the point of being unrecognizable. The ship in the article kept its shape and is very much recognizable.

I don't know where this idea came from (I've seen it on reddit a LOT), but it's the same here in Switzerland: you do it yourself because the tax department has no idea how much you made precisely, what you can deduce from it

I've always been quite irritated by the amount of disdain toward Comic Sans. Partly because I feel like this is such an easy target, and people who have just learned 2 or 3 things about typography are very keen on bashing Comic Sans to

I strongly disagree. I know nothing about math, yet I'm able to solve almost all the puzzles. The only time this year I was stuck because of math was a puzzle that required knowing about the Chinese remainders theorem, and even then, I
