On your question for other ‘non-usual’ recommendations for writing code, I’ve found myself predominantly using Everson Mono¹ simply because of the wide range of characters it supports in Unicode’s BMP (and unbelievably, SMP as well!). I’m p

Ah, that’s pretty interesting… wasn’t aware of that loophole! Interestingly, Firefox 46 does show them both in non-Punycode form in the address bar (so they both look the same) while Safari 9 doesn’t ¹; it shows the first URI as its Punyco

Would that be a collision though? xn--mnchen-3ya.com and mnchen-3ya.com look pretty different.

While that is the case for many programs, it’s absolutely not the case for modern web browsers. For example, navigating to はじめよう.みんな¹ in Safari 9² and Firefox 46³ does show the IDN as it’s supposed to look to the end user in the address b

It doesn’t exactly work that way. Registrars only allow codepoints in specific ranges (the allowed ranges being different depending on the TLD)¹, so it ends up not being an issue (full FAQ here²). Also, more information on internationalized

No guarantee you could block all tracking, although you probably cover a wide swath of the snooping by blocking the hostnames in this list (since they are owned by Microsoft). As mentioned in the article, the registry entry does seem to

True, I did eventually get a similar one¹ for my Game Boy Color as well, but it took quite a while before that happened since I didn’t want to ask my parents to buy me something else when they already paid for the Game Boy Color and an AC

Yep, you’re right. I bought my GameCube new back in the day and it only came with the composite cable. The component cable is a separate purchase and Nintendo only sold it in Japan. In addition to that, the Digital A/V Output Port was

Ah, I completely forgot about the Game Boy Light! Also realized I made another error too: the original Game Boy Advance didn’t include an AC adapter; in fact the Game Boy Advance itself doesn’t even have a barrel connector on it to plug one

Yeah, the original Game Boy Advance doesn’t actually have a charging port on it in the first place! Unlike the Game Boys that came before it, the Game Boy Advance didn’t have a barrel connector on it to connect an AC adapter for powering it

I remember this as well (I still have mine in fact!). However, I didn’t really care that much considering how much better the Game Boy Advance SP was than all the previous Game Boys. It was the first Game Boy to have a backlit screen, whi
