   For me, yes. I'm surprised that I don't see much of that view here.

   I immediately thought of Judy Dench's performance of "M" in James Bond. Turns out, the code name for the real position is "C" (which is in the article). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M_(James_Bo

   For what it's worth, the Unicode Consortium seems to be trying to reign in the emoji explosion in the last few years. For example they won't process any new proposals for flags [1][2]: > The Unicode Consortium will no longer a

    String comparison is a difficult problem. Consider: Å (ANGSTROM SIGN) Å (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE) Å (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A) + (◌̊ COMBINING RING ABOVE) А̊ (CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER A) + (◌̊ COMBINING RING ABOVE) Of these, the

    By total coincidence, today I've been looking at Datalog implementations. The Datalog(-adjacent) Soufflé tutorial says this right near the start: > For practical usage, Soufflé extends Datalog to make it Turing-equivalent through ar

    That's true, and even with normalization, there's four normalized forms for strings. The -k- forms are mostly for searching, but that still leaves NFC and NFD. The normalization forms are explained, in order of approachability (im

    That tripped me up too. The Unicode Core spec is quite good at explaining things and introduces some terminology you don't really hear outside the document. Chapter 2, General Structure , is worth reading in its entirety. I've li

    Aphex Twin's Avril 14th [1] reminds me a bit of Satie. A bunch of songs in the same album, Drukqs, use John Cage's prepared piano technique [2]. A lot of Aphex Twin's music is ambient like Satie's, but I prefer his more

    When I modified the idealized algorithm to suit my needs a few years ago, I learned just how painful the boundary cases are. I realized I didn't want to ever touch SIMD string searching unless: - I had a very specific use-case that I r

    I (OP) have been working on some Unicode visualization tooling for a while now. The idea started when I had some buggy string-matching code. I was matching case-insensitively, then using those ranges to highlight the original text. Turns ou

    A few years ago I came across the article "SIMD-friendly algorithms for substring searching". The "Generic SIMD" section into and example is small and quite understandable. I modified it to implement an LZ77 sliding wind

    GP's comment is extremely eloquent, and for me too expresses exactly how I feel. If you look at the profile, it's Bob Nystrom, writer of HN favourites Game Programming Patterns and Crafting Interpreters , so it makes sense that

    It's put me off sharing my code online. Having a project forked is one thing, having someone "vibe coding" my code verbatim and thinking they did it themselves is another.

    Interesting. I've never been a fan of the warm-water ones myself. I wonder how it compares to (only using) toilet paper with regards to dermatitis, I find that toilet paper can really cause issues sometimes and bidets are more helpful

    I've used less advanced versions for a few years. The quality varies; the most recent one we put in is pretty horrible to use (but better than nothing). I've always wanted to try a real Toto, especially with the drying feature. A
