Good news, ASCII has always had record and group separator characters that for some reason we have all forgotten they exist and nobody would ever use in non-binary data: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_c

Huh? No, the article says the stonemason chose a star because nobody would be able to tell that a 17-gon isn't a circle. I have heard this story repeated before in Gaussian biographies, but I'm surprised I can't find a single

Does Gauss's headstone actually have a 17-pointed star on the back? I can't find any pictures of this online.

Laziness in Haskell is so hard for me to understand. I never have any idea what the runtime performance of something I write in Haskell will be. It's either blazingly fast or molasses slow, and I can never tell.

Aren't the backdoors gonna be in the baseband firmware that no phone allows you to modify? I always felt that we basically "lost" with open source: Intel did the Management Engine and phones stuck everything in the baseband.
