Please define what you mean by code point and code unit.

Thank you for posting this. My initial reaction was like soora's, and it's good to be reminded that not everyone shares my experience and assumptions.

There isn't going to be an Edge, but there could well be other models of phones for Ubuntu.

I'm at a Perl conference right now with hundreds of other attendees. Perl definitely is alive.

If you have to post minor version updates, link to the changelog, not the downloads page.

This is exactly the kind of comment I wish I could downvote: "You're presenting facts, {position X} people don't like that." "I find it funny how {position X} people come up with such amount of unproven facts, such

If you do choose to license your code under such a license, it would not be considered open source (according to the OSI) or free software (according to the FSF). Here's the relevant part of the Open Source Definition: > The license

It's not legally possible to dedicate your project to the public domain in many jurisdictions. That's why CC0 exists: http://creativecommons.org/about/cc0

No, the article does not mention the anti-tivoization clause. The AGPL requires you to share the source code with users, even when the software is hosted on your machines. That's what differentiates AGPL from GPLv3.

Just in case that's not clear, when people capitalise "Free Software", they're generally referring to the definition used by the Free Software Foundation.

Consider using Mozilla Persona to handle authentication. It's easier to implement that rolling your own username/password solution (although I see you've already done that), and it's decentralised unlike using Google credentials.

All I can see is a photo with the caption "Make brilliant collages with your pictures. Any pictures from Facebook, ? and Instagram". Clicking everywhere does nothing, scrolling up or down does not reveal anything. I'm using Firefox on a wid

Since copyright. What on earth would make you think that subtitles are exempt from copyright? Song lyrics are copyrighted, screenplays are copyright, so are subtitles.

It's "lose weight", not "loose weight". Sorry to nitpick.

by Flimm 13y ago
Why are you getting the subtitles from? Are they good quality? And have you licensed the subtitles legally?

I really like this idea. I've always wondered whether I should delete my Facebook account, but I never put the effort into weighing up the consequences. I might just do this for the thrill of it. If I survive I get an interesting status, if

By users, do you mean Python 3 programmers?
745.
by Flimm 13y ago
Not true. Take this string: d͊ It is composed of two code points: U+0064 and U+034A. The second code point is a combining character. The two code points together form one glyph. The term "character" is confusing because people use different

by Flimm 13y ago
In Python 3, there is a clear distinction between string objects and bytes objects. String objects are a sequence of Unicode code points, and bytes objects are a sequence of 0-255 byte values. > Character is a context in which we read i

Even the Pirate Party (at least the UK one) only wants to reduce copyright length, not abolish it.

A not very well publicised guideline is that the codenames are only supposed to be used before release, and the version number after release. If you go to ubuntu.com they consistently use the version number, not the codename.
