voicecode.io looked particularly interesting in this regard -- essentially creating a language to describe keypresses and mouseclicks (using some headtracking gear for mouse movement). It sounds like gibberish: SENSLAM tiny test DOT add PRE

Also, I see zero justification for why this particular array of emoji: is this a particularly angry-making vuln? Particularly carnivorous? It's not even particularly unambiguous, a requirement, I would have thought, for "proper

Presumably there is an optimal Island / Persistant Petitioners only deck ratio against a dumb opponent who does nothing but draw a card a turn and play a land. I wonder if it's irrational?

I wouldn't say "fourteen oh-oh", but "fourteen hundred", and I've rarely heard just "fourteen". Extends obviously to "fourteen thirty". (Northern England)

Took me a while to work out you could actually make time from killing enemies -- I saw they only created one time crystal, and that it took about three to kill them, then died due to being out of time, so didn't realise that the monste

As a first-time tourist to Berlin, I found the concept of "there is a circle line bisected by a north-south line and an east-west line" a super useful framework for hanging the rest of the network off. It's a shame this isn&#

W3C is explicit: ranges are Unicode code points. [a-9] is not a valid range (since 9<a). [0-z] is, but as you say it is misleading and you probably shouldn't. There is a ambiguity that [A-Z] can be legally interpreted as "any o

Title woefully inaccurate: original is "Don’t Use ISO/IEC 14977 Extended Backus-Naur Form (EBNF)" and the article can be summarised as "Use W3C EBNF instead".

Cool; so about 0.35% of yearly world production of CO2 per year from capture, and assuming 25% increased longevity, somewhere a little short of 1% due to cement reduction. ... that's pretty good, actually, might buy us another year, on

Good luck! How big do you see this carbon nanotube market being, and thus how much net CO2 do you see yourself removing from the environment?

TL;DR: It has a disk in the D because Toshiba had developed a logo for a disk based technology and just reused it, and then it became a standards-symbol so everyone kinda needed to use it. Seriously that video is overly long.

This is by design. By the specs, browsers should not display a favicon if the file 404s. But that file contains a valid favicon, so rendering it is a failure. [source: Wikipedia]
