There is another case, which is that the code is approved but not merged (in which case the maintainer may apply it manually (with changes), and might list the author of the PR as a co-author of the commit that applies those changes).

Yes, I know that (I was aware of both of these cases, as well as others). In those cases, there are characters that do not correspond to any Unicode characters. Nevertheless, what I was saying is that many programs seem to be designed as th

I think a open-source exemption would be acceptable (if done properly; another comment mentions a possible problem), even though I would think it would be preferable to not have such age-verification bills at all. At least, adding the exemp

If they are misinterpreted, it is because the character encoding is not declared properly. I still sometimes see mojibake in Japanese web pages, but sometimes it works; if it works, it is because the character encoding is declared properly.

> Unfortunately no, Unicode is not simply a mapping of bytes to characters. It is a mapping of numbers to code points, and in some cases you can even get the same characters with multiple code point sequences (not a very good mapping!).

> A file isn't meaningful unless you know how to interpret it; that will always be true. There are multiple levels of meaning, though; character encoding is just one part of it. For example, a text file might be plain text, or HTML,

Another way that the character encoding could be declared is ISO 2022. When using ISO 2022, the declaration of UTF-8 is <1B 25 47>, rather than the <EF BB BF> that XML and some other formats use. However, whether you do it that

Yes, I thought of what you mentioned too, and in my opinion, DER is a better format, and it is a binary format rather than text. (In my ideas of an operating system design, there is a structured binary format (similar to DER but different)

I agree with you that Unicode is too complicated and messy, although it also shows that whether or not something is considered "plain" is itself too difficult. Unicode has caused many problems (although it was common for m17n and

There are several reasons. One possible reason is, if you do not need the functions of other operating systems, then DOS will be much simpler.

The computer is not very usable without an operating system. I think it would be reasonable for the computer to have Forth or BASIC or something like that in ROM, like many older computers do, so that the computer is usable without an opera

I have been told that ITU specifications are deliberately confusing so that they can sell consulting services. However, I think DER is good (and is better than BER, PER, etc in my opinion). (I did make up a variant with a few additional typ

Some users disable favicons; I am one of them (although that is main because I do not use them, rather than due to that).

Some disassembly listings will also include the actual bytes (there are multiple reasons why you will want this).

I do use a command-line program as the only way to interact with GitHub (using the GitHub API), but I do not use GH CLI; I have my own implementation (which is much smaller than theirs). (They can see that I use my own, because of the User-

To me, the role playing, and the crunchy bits, as well as tactics, combat, and other stuff, are all significant and important part of TTRPG; it should not be only one of those things.

You are not only one trying to do it. There are others, and in other programming languages (Pokemon Showdown is one already implemented, but uses TypeScript with dependencies and I wanted to avoid those issues). What programming language di

CTRL+C will send a interrupt signal; in some programs (and some circumstances in some programs) that does not work, but then you might try CTRL+\ which will send a quit signal; sometimes that works even if interrupt does not work.

I do not care about much of it other than the git and API. I also sometimes use the Issues, although only with the API. But if it stops working sometimes, that is not too significantly a problem since the files can be sent after they start

I think it would be a bad idea to require an internet connection (for one thing, you might want to write your own app that does not require a internet connection); but, even if it doesn't, would not mean you can set the clock to avoid

What might help better is having permissions that you can set separate settings that can be read for different apps (including the possibility to return errors instead of the actual values), even if they can be read by default you can also

I think a "force visible ASCII for files whose names match a specific pattern" mode would be a simple thing to help. (You might be able to use the "encoding" command in the .gitattributes file for this, although I don&#x

JSON does have data types, although there are not very many and not very good. For example, there is no octet string type (so you will have to use hex or base64 instead), no non-string keys (so you have to use strings instead), no character

They mention those things, but they do not mention ASN.1.

I agree it makes sense to specify that it is not certain, by adding "it looks like" (or "it seems like", or other wording that would not be too long; as another comment mentions, "looks" can sometimes be wrong)
