  <input type="time" />

  Just found a bug which occurs with probability 1/60. Fixed code (MCVE):

  function f() {
      var input = document.querySelector("input[type=time]");
      var time = input.value;
  
      /* added this: */
      if(time.length === "hh:mm".length) {
          time += ":00";
      }
  
      doStuffWithTime(time);
  }

  Facebook Messages underscores

  Recently, Facebook Messages implemented a feature which would automatically change text surrounded by _underscores_ into italics.

  This is great, until you need to type code. Then a syntactically insignificant space would change how your code looks.

  LaTeX pdfpages

  Package pdfpages Warning: Option `page' is unknow to \includepdf.
  (pdfpages)                Did you mean `pages'? (Note the `s'!)
  (pdfpages)                OK, I'll proceed as if it were `pages'.
  

  搞咁多嘢你不如直接silently accept `page’ 咪算…

  wx.Translations

  Just spent 3 hours debugging some code.

  Turns out, unlike gettext, wx.Translations and co. doesn’t work with locales it doesn’t understand, even if you have the .mo file in its catalog.

  And for some reason wxWidgets does not support en_HK.
