Comment by amelius 21 hours ago What is the partial derivative symbol doing in their email address (last line of the page)? 4 comments amelius Reply Aulig 17 hours ago It's to fool primitive scrapers looking for e-mail addresses with the @ symbol. It's handled like that on the entire KIT website. amelius 15 hours ago This can't be it because on mouseover I get the mailto: link with the @ symbol in it. CodesInChaos 1 hour ago Contradictions like that are common. A popular example:* Failed login: I can't tell you if the username/email or password was wrong, since that'd reveal if the the user exists* Failed signup attempt with existing username/email: Cannot create an account, because a user with that username/email already exists 1 reply →
