I was just mentioning Browsium on Twitter recently with the former CTO which was a former IE team member: https://twitter.com/variables/status/925792972372922369

My favorite is how PSP is confused with DASH, the thing that actually does remote management.

I am interested in the problems of the entire ad bubble, including Google/Facebook as well as the rest of the digital media. Google and Facebook for example drive up house prices in Silicon Valley.

According to an Ars comment: "I've got an older version of Mac Office (2011 I think), and there's a version of Equation Editor in there with a 1990-2010 design science copyright on it, so they have some version of newer code

I noticed a 0F 1F NOP, which breaks older processors. This is in an update that goes back to Office 2007.

Recently they had to enable /LARGEADDRESSAWARE in 32-bit Outlook.

In fact, REP MOVSD is harder to handle in hardware especially for unaligned locations because you can only interrupt on 4 byte boundries.

I have been pointing out that the ad bubble also affects housing prices for a while now.

Of course, it is likely that a shutdown will also happen too.

Of course, this will probably break VB6 apps for example and maybe even VBA. Ideally this should have been done when NT 3.5 was released in 1994, but then it might have been limited to 3 byte UTF-8.

And I don't like Bing and Edge Rewards and don't think they are a good idea either.

Yes, but that is not the point.

Which also reminds me that I am thinking seriously of Yishan-style CEOs and the board of directors should follow the same standard too.

Though keep in mind it dates back to 2004.

Also keep in mind that Firefox has used Google since 2004 I think.

Not to mention trade deficits that led to the current debt-based economy, where for example the more money the NSA spends the more government debt is appropriated by Congress. It also led to things like the ad bubble that fuels Google etc (

In this case we are talking about government debt though. Congress does have some control over it with "appropriations" I think.

Yea, the TSA is a good example of how a scare like 9/11 can be used to trigger more government spending, leading to more government debt being printed.

The point is that the debt can increase forever since we got off gold.

My favorite is how NSA is funded by government debt, which is their way of printing money. This is also true for the FBI too with the scare against encryption. One of the reasons we got off the gold standard decades ago was military spendin

And probably why no one cares, especially when Unicode was limited to 16-bit.

by yuhong 9y ago
At least these are all in the BMP...

by yuhong 9y ago
It will still probably take time. It was only recently that MySQL allowed more than 768 byte indexes for example, before which utf8 was commonly used instead of utf8mb4.

One of the tables seem to show characters that are in Unicode BMP but not in JIS X 0208 (many I think came from JIS X 0212). Another table of course show characters not in the BMP.
