  • 25C is pretty good! But we can go higher and neither we nor our houses are built for heat, so it gets to be like a thousand degrees indoors at night and we can't sleep and get dehydrated and desalinated.

    I'm considering whether I'll have to start fleeing to the Northwestern coast to chill with some drizzle instead of getting heat stroke

  • Conservatives often cosplay or try to present themselves as "non-political". In their mental map there's not a rich tapestry of various political preferences; there's "political" (left) and "normal" (guess).

  • Depends on your country. In countries with proportional representation you can vote for the party you like. If you're voting tactically you're down to the coalition you like.

    E.g. here in Norway we get minority coalitions all the time. It's fine. They have to (gasp) cooperate with others to get anywhere.

  • Yes I'm being sarcastic, but I also think utf-8 is plaintext these days. I really can't spell my name in US ASCII. Like the other commenter here went into more detail on, it has its history, but isn't suited for today's international computer users.

  • It's also some surprise internal representation as utf-16; that's at least still in the realm of Unicode. Would also expect there's utf-32 still floating around somewhere, but I couldn't tell you where.

    And is mysql still doing that thing with utf8 as a noob trap and utf8_for_real_we_mean_it_this_time_honest or whatever they called it as normal utf8?

  • Yes, I am joking. We probably could do something like the old iso-646 or whatever it was that swapped letters depending on locale (or equivalent), but it's not something we want to return to.

    It's also not something we're entirely free of: Even though it's mostly gone, apparently Bulgarian locales do something interesting with Cyrillic characters. cf https://tonsky.me/blog/unicode/

  • Q. P is a common character across languages. But Q is mostly unused, at least outside the romance languages who appear to spell K that way. But that can be solved by letting the characters have the same code point, and rendering it as K in most regions, and Q in France. I can't imagine any problems arising from that. :)

  • If it's any help, I only ever had it at my nonna's and she died of old age some years ago. I've thought about seeing if I could find a recipe, but I also don't want to be banned from Italy and Italian restaurants

  • It's a joke because it includes useless letters nobody needs, like that weird o with the leg, and a rich set of field and record separating characters that are almost completely forgotten, etc, but not normal letters used in everyday language >:(
