Almost certainly none. The real use case of DNS over HTTPS isn't resolution from the desktop but from the browser (in JS), this is just a useful hack.

Another way of stopping this is DNS-over-HTTPS: https://github.com/wrouesnel/dns-over-https-proxy I wouldn't use this all the time, but I've been stuck behind a DNS-filtering ISP before which had a broken pro

No. When you apply NFKC normalization to that string, you get just 'paypal', so Paypal have already registered the result. You can try that here: http://mct.verisign-grs.com/ - notice how the output is not the sam

Because 'small capital g' doesn't have a compatibility decomposition to G, but wide letter P does have a compatibility decomposition to 'normal' P. Unicode normalization kills large classes of homograph attacks but

Nope. The browser is behaving sensibly, since you can't register that domain. It's applying the same rules that the registrars do. ICANN require that registries follow RFC3491 and related RFCs for name prep before allowing a name

My a lecturer in the office next to mine was working on this stuff around 1990/91 (we were in the theory section of the Physics Dept of the University of Glasgow.) I'm not sure it came to anything, he described the theory behind i

Perl's use of this syntax had ancestors in awk, sed, ed, and qed - originally just for string replacements in qed until Ken Thompson wrote a version that did regexps too. It dates back to 1967. https://www.bell-labs.com&#x2F

Just nitpicking, but Chaplin was born in the UK and was already a vaudeville star when he was signed up by Karno and went to Hollywood. His status as an immigrant led to calls for him to be deported when he protested against HUAC. In the en

I was going to reply, you don't seem to be seeing the font that's on the page. The font they're using is a renamed copy of Baskerville eText, and it doesn't have an 'st' ligature. It does have 'ff' an

That's a very similar problem to the one in Neal Stephenson's 'Diamond Age'; the Primer that drives the story is narrated by paid 'ractors', but later the book is copied and mass-produced, and paying for all of

That's a perfectly reasonable objection, and answered to an extent over here https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15489#c18 tl;dr: "backwards compatibility" I'd also agree that my cod

I used to work in a company which had a division doing manual image classification next door. Not a fun time at all, the people who worked there regularly burned out on relentlessly seeing terrible things.

cabal has a `cabal freeze` command which produces frozen constraints similar to Gemfile.lock in ruby. However, current Haskell projects tend to use stack for this purpose, see: https://www.fpcomplete.com/blog/2015/

Nope. It would be correct if it said 'For each estimate of the mean, Mean shift defines a window around it and computes the mean of the data points within the window, then repeats the process with this new estimate.' Suppose we ha

Not really. Given an estimate of the mean ; for each data point, Mean shift defines a window around it and computes a new estimated mean weighting each point by the probability density at the previous estimated mean calculated using the w

One of the graphs struck me as odd - percent of per capita disposable income spent on food, falling. The problem with that is inequality - it's been widely discussed that most of the gains of the last decade have been made by the riche

Lithium'll fail on anything where you need to make correlated deletions, true. But you'd have similar issues with eg input that contains sizes, pointers, checksums...which aren't going to work with a generic strategy. As to s
