One problem here is that CVE scoring is basically entirely bugged, something scored 8.7 could be an RCE exploit or a "may be able to waste CPU" issue. That's the difference between "it may or may not be that there's

That doesn't sound right to me; its legitimate topic that a package where the core use-case is X, that package has obscure feature Y, and the mere existence of Y can cause security issues for a user even when the user never intended to

The question isnt whether such cases exist, but instead whether they actually need c++26 and what the downsides are to everyone else if c++31 or whatever is still constrained by it.

It is, Google Books did it over a decade ago (bought up physical books and scanned them all). There were some rulings about how much of a snippet they were allowed to show end users as fair use, but I'm fairly sure the actual scanning

It doesn't seem weird at all to me: standard is essentially the consensus of the major browser vendors; a spec which all of Chrome, Safari and Edge don't implement is really just a hypothetical. The origin story of whatwg is that

Even if all wire format encoding is utf8, you wouldn't be able to decode these new high codepoints into systems that are semantically utf16. Which is Java and JS at least, hardly "obsolete" targets to worry about. And even Sw

Yeah, WTF-8 is a very straightforward "the spec semi-artificially says we can't do this one thing, and it prevents you from using utf8 under the hood to represent JS and Java strings which allow for unpaired utf16 surrogates, so i

Are you sure you mean .5km? That's only 0.3 miles, 1500 feet. That is the distance if you drive to a Walmart supercenter and park in the center of the parking lot and walk to the door.

When you use that syntax it looks like you are calling out an explicit quote; you may think that it's a reasonable paraphrase but I think most readers will see what you did as a strawman instead of a paraphrase. Better to write inline

I sometimes wonder if the name "ogg vorbis" hampered its uptake. MP3 is admittedly a pretty jargony name too but isn't otherwise "weird", compared to Ogg Vorbis is just Klingon-esque.
