A: How does Zalgo Text work, and how can I prevent my application from accepting it? First, let's see how Zalgo Text works. Unicode Combining Characters Unicode defines the concept of combining characters. Basically, some characters can be combined with others, to "make/create" different ones (you can also say that they can modify other characters). > Example: in Portu... (more) |

I guess "*passwords and other data*" refer to the passwords themselves saved in your browser config (so it offers an option to auto-fill login forms). After you login, each website might set a cookie with your token/credential info, but Chrome has no way to know which cookies are related to authentic... (more) |

When handling dates in a system, one should prefer to send/receive in a standard format (to make parsing easier), and only when presenting this to users, a specific localized format is chosen - BTW, that's exactly what browsers (and probably your mail client) do: internally, the `input` value is in I...

Date formats are specific to locale/culture/country/etc. What makes sense to one doesn't necessarily make to another (in Japan, the "normal" order is year-month-day, in USA, month-day-year, and so on - nobody is "wrong"). But ISO 8601 is not intended to be locale oriented, because it was designed to ... (more) |

ISO 8601 is intended to be "locale agnostic" and unambiguous, and this "biggest to smallest units" approach is IMO a good choice, with advantages already pointed by previous comments. It's an information exchange format, not a human friendly one (although it *is* friendly once you get used to it) (more) |

According [to MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/date), the displayed format of `input type=date` can change according to the browser's locale. My guess is that mail clients might do something similar when interpreting HTML. Not sure if this can be changed (without s... (more) |

A: SQL timestamp for daylight saving day when clock goes 1 hour back. This behaviour is documented here: > "... an ambiguous timestamp that could fall on either side of a jump-back transition is assigned the UTC offset that prevailed just after the transition." So, when there's an ambiguous timestamp (when a local date/time occurs twice: first in Daylight Saving ... (more) |

@MonicaCellio I noticed that it also happens in other sites (example: https://meta.codidact.com/posts/281048) - Would it be worth posting this problem in Codidact Meta? Or having it just here is enough? (more) |

A: How to match standard email addresses with regex? Matching a valid email address can be as complicated as you want it to be. If you want to be compliant with RFC 5322, the regex will be a monster (see below). But if you want a subset of it, with predefined arbitrary rules, then your monster will be a little less scary. Considering the simpl... (more) |

Border-bottom of inline code is (sometimes) not displayed when it's in the last line of a paragraph After I wrote this answer, I could notice that, when there's inline code in the last line of a paragraph, sometimes the border-bottom of the inline code text is not displayed. One case is when the paragraph is followed by either a horizontal line or a code block: inline code with border-bottom... (more) |

A: What are field separators in operating-programming languages (such as Bash)? In Bash, `IFS` is an internal variable and it stands for "Internal Field Separator" <- according to this link, it "determines how Bash recognizes fields, or word boundaries, when it interprets character strings". Its default value is a "whitespace" (space, tab, and newline), but you can change it ... (more) |

A: Python Regex to parse multiple "word. word. word." First of all, let's understand why your regex didn't work. The first part is `\w+\.\s`, which is "one or more alpha-numeric characters" (`\w+`), followed by a dot and a space (`\.\s`). If the regex was only this, it would match `THIS. ` (the word "THIS", plus the dot and space after it). ... (more) |

You're closing the parentheses before `format`, so you're calling `format` on the value returned by `print` (which is `None`). It should be `print("{} {}".format(inspect.currentframe().f_code.co_name, path.basename(__file__)))` - https://ideone.com/4z9NRl (more) |
