Plastic packaging protects food from moisture and dirt. If you make the packaging out of a water-soluble material and then eat it, surely that's almost completely useless? Like, now you need some kind of additional outer wrapper to sto

If you have your own domain, Fastmail banning you is a minor speed bump at worst. You can just point your domain at a different email provider. You can similarly transfer domains between registrars if one of them doesn't like you. And

Basically yes. Large-scale DDoS attacks rely on compromising random servers and devices, either directly with malware or indirectly with reflection attacks. Those hosts aren't all going to be located in the same place. An attacker coul

The Rakuten screenshot included in the first set of examples looks a bit out of place to me. It's a pretty normal, modern, flat-design shopping website? Amazon similarly features a big colorful carousel and a bunch of different images

Yeah, that's one area where claims of consumer confusion are a bit more legitimate. A lot of platforms let you delete replies to your posts, but Twitter doesn't, so people might see those and think "why hasn't this compa

The committee still wants UTC to be periodically adjusted to match the Earth's rotation. They just want to adjust it less often, where "less often" probably rounds to "never" in practical terms.

Do they want you to host a public website? AFAICT all the inbound traffic to Funnel has to go through servers they operate, and historically Tailscale has tried to minimize the traffic they handle that way.

I disagree with the flowchart. Surely, since UTF-8 is backwards-compatible with ASCII, your writing should be encoded in ASCII if it was written by an American.

Here's another fun Unicode pitfall: does any terminal provide a way to display Chinese and Japanese text simultaneously, using the appropriate versions of the glyphs for each language's characters?

I suspect most of Twitter's performance issues are of the too-many-cooks variety, where services are poorly coupled or have a lot of dependencies because a million different teams are working on each one. (Heavy layoffs are a good step

SMTP being created 40 years ago is probably why it still works today. Just like the telephone network, it has a historical exception from the moral obligation to prevent Bad People from using the network to say harmful or incorrect things.
