What does the "\s" shorthand match? I've seen some regular expressions (regex) using `\s` when they want to match a space, but I noticed that it also matches line breaks. Example: the regex `[a-z]\s[0-9]` (lowercase ASCII letter, followed by `\s`, followed by a digit) matches both `a 1` and ```none b 2 ``` Because `\s` matc... (more) |

A: Why is this client code getting the wrong date for a few hours a day? First of all, we need to understand what a JavaScript `Date` actually is. And surprisingly, it's not exactly a date (at least not in terms of having unique values for day, month, year, hour, minute and second). A JavaScript `Date` actually represents a timestamp. More precisely, according to the... (more) |

From my experience, the main issue in any ticket system is when users can't explain their problem with enough details (and we need to contact them to get those details). Markdown, as a markup language, (with **formatting purposes only**), wouldn't help to solve this problem - because it's a communica... (more) |

I agree that in most cases we simply shouldn't do it. But the main subject of the question is Zalgo Text, so how could I show an example without actually showing it? I believe the question is a valid case where this should be done, otherwise the post would lack important information. Anyway, if the d... (more) |

I recognize this is probably a minor issue, as text like that will be rarely used in posts, so I don't mind if this issue gets low priority. (more) |

Text with many diacritic marks are not displayed correctly in posts When posting this question, I noticed a difference between editor's preview and the post's final render. When editing, the preview correctly shows the Zalgo Text: But after the post is saved, it's rendered in the browser like this: Note that part of the text (the diacritics at the to... (more) |

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, in Brazil, day/month/year, and so on - nobody is "wrong"). But ISO 8601 is not intended to be locale oriented, ... (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) |
