That's completely bogus. Forget unpaired surrogates; this scheme cannot even represent odd-length ASCII strings .

codePointAt still takes the same type of index that charCodeAt does. It doesn't address the issue at all. $ jsc >>> '\u{1f4a9}A'.codePointAt(1).toString(16) dca9 And what was the committee supposed t

What? These are cross-platform features, defined in the ECMAScript spec. Nearly all string-processing code written in JavaScript uses them.

Functions like String.prototype.charCodeAt, String.prototype.indexOf, String.prototype.substr and such (which operate on indices into 16-bit-wide strings) will have to be supported somehow, so I doubt it.

It can't, because lol dynamic dispatch. Exercise: what does this code do? import collections collections.namedtuple = lambda _0, _1, _2=False, _3=False: "Where is your god now?" import b b.py: import co

shr rax, 1 div rbx will divide the 128-bit value in (rdx, rax) by rbx, then store the quotient in rax and the remainder in rdx.

The real WTF is that APT spawns an external process to check disk usage, instead of invoking statvfs() on its own. Some cases are less clear-cut, however. For example, the Debian 'nodejs' package installs node.js binary as /u

You never know. Some people used to think 4 billion slots would be more than enough for addressing every host in the world, and so they allocated the addresses haphazardly. Now look at the sorry state of IPv6 adoption 20 years after it&#x27

I believe the [removed] only appears in place of comments with replies that have not been deleted. Though yeah, that still makes it rather implausible.

You haven't been around much, then. The seven-segment display inside the elevator in my former dormitory labelled the ground floor as '0', and the one below as '-1'. There was also a voice announcer, but I don'

Peano axioms can just as well be formulated with 1 as the smallest natural number, with little consequence as to the expressiveness of the resulting theory. Not that there aren't mathematical reasons to start counting with zero, but th

Because it's ridiculous regardless of the reason; even if nobody is doing this on purpose.

Right... but the no-starting-hyphen rule seems to be more universally accepted. ... ...Oh, fuck me. I just found https://archive.fo/T0WcV ... (archive.is link because Firefox won't open it directly)

by pwdisswordfish 9y ago
Ordinarily I'd agree, but a starting hyphen isn't valid in a domain name anyway, so it's harmless. RFC 1035: "The labels [a grammar production rule for domain names] must follow the rules for ARPANET host names. They mu

The UI has some warts, and a few design choices were made that some people find questionable. You can get used to them (which is probably why most people don't even notice it as a problem), but they're there. The best survey of Gi

IIRC that vowel is /e/, which is neither really /ɛ/ ('eh') nor the diphthong /eɪ/ ('ey'). And that quite neatly illustrates the problem with shoehorning other languages into English phonolog
