Another data point: When Windows 10 just came out, many of apps in start menu had a label next to them, which in Russian version said "Создать" (~Create). It took me some time to figure out that it's a poor translation of &qu

I might be wrong, but I think I've read somewhere (here on HN) that kernel has no idea about disk head position. It's job of HDD's firmware to reorder read/write instructions it received from kernel for optimal performan

But how can you possibly deliver email via IPv6 if their MX host doesn't have IPv6 address at all? $ host hotmail.com hotmail.com has address 204.79.197.212 hotmail.com mail is handled by 2 hotmail-com.olc.protection.outl

Honestly, I don't know. But Wikipedia says it was a ligature of two letters ("Ь" and "I"), which later changed their values: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yery#Origin

Some say that Cyrillic letter Ы is a single character for "lol".

It might be difficult on a different level. Dr.Hipp mentioned GMail bouncing email sent to him - but hosting email yourself, will just move you to a different side of the bounce - now GMail will be bouncing emails sent by you! See, for exam

To be fair to Mail.Ru, I believe maps.me is one product which became better when owned by them: * they dropped paid version in dec 2014 (with all "pro" features, like bookmarks, being merged into free version) * they opensourced i

hmm, they don't mention `eval()` being blocked in executed functions. Is it mentioned elsewhere? Also, can't executed function just add `<script>` tag with given `src`?

looks cool! BUT: 2nd question in "hello_world/" expects two last names in a very specific order. If I sort them - it considers answer to be invalid. But should it?

good point! But as soon as browsers stop autocompleting fields marked with autocomplete="one-time-code", won't website developers start marking _all_ input fields with this tag? After all, why do people put autocomplete=&quot

I assume you're not in Apple Store team, then. Because they do put autocomplete="off" on login form, username, and password fields. At least for me: https://imgur.com/a/Ygb371g UPDATE: please help me wri

> Now if you unexpand the arrow, you get 1, but if you expand it you get 3 =)... Moreover, if you expand arrow next to {value: 0}, you will see literally this: v {value: 0} [i] value: 3

by Lex-2008 5y ago
yep, but then when I expand (click triangle) the {value: 0} line, it shows "value: 1" on the next line, only to rise the confusion. To be fair, there is also an "i" in a square, reminding me about this behaviour.

Yes, I deliberately tried to exclude the NT family by mentioning "consumer OS" :) BTW, how was Windows 2000 in terms of software (read games) compatibility?

Thanks! I looked at a wrong release date on wiki ("Final release", which is actually Service Pack 3)

I believe that modern web browsers limit your history to 3 months, so it's almost like you never have a profile older than 3 months :)
