in the original cuneiform as a copypasta

I wonder if Nanni would be satisfied to know that over 3,700 years later, people still know that Ea-Nasir was an asshole?

How do I save comments on kbin?

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

Uninstall kbin and install something better

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Screenshot it

Thanks to Unicode we have the many-eyes seraphim: ๊™ฎ

biblically accurate Typography,

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

How many unicode characters could you add to the standard until it becomes unreliable?

[-] [email protected] 29 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

aparently unicode supports about 1.1 million characters, and we ~~currently only use 96,382 as of version 4.0~~

EDIT: i just read that unicode 4.0 is very outdated, current version is unicode 15.1 with 149,878 characters.

I am developing a language consisting of only communicating in different versions of zip-archive bombs

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

A Unicode character can be up to 4 bytes, so 2^32 or 4,294,967,296 potential unique characters. And it'd be easy enough to adjust the standard to allow for an extra byte(s) if necessary -- it's been done before.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This is incorrect. While in UTF-32 a character (actually a code point) requires 4 bytes, and in UTF-8 up to 4 bytes, the Unicode standard is limited to 17*2^16 code points. (edit: apparently because that is the limit of UTF-16. 4 Byte UTF-8 can encode 2^21 code points, but it is not technically limited to four bytes, so in total is a ble to encode 2^31 code points)

Unicode is the standard that says "the thing we call captial A is the 65th character", literally defining a mapping from numbers to concepts.
UTF-8 or UTF-32 are a way to encode a list of numbers in a more (UTF-8) or less (UTF-32) efficient way.

I'm at a loss

[-] [email protected] 45 points 2 years ago

Goddamn it

[-] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago

I didnโ€™t get it until I read your frustration, and then the weight and dread of comprehension hit me

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Goddamnit. Me too.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 2 years ago

this is the new rickroll isn't it

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

This is a years old meme lol

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

year old? Sir Loss appeared in 2008

Edit: mb didnt see the plural years, also wow i didnt think it was that old damn

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

I gotta thank the comments for cluing me in, I'm too dumb to figure out on my own

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

At first I thought it was about NNN

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I forgot it changed over from Locktober

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Can't believe that meme is still alive. How old is that comic?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

It's a zombie meme that has long lost any connection to the comic at this point.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Dang I even thought that there was something profound in there until I checked the comments.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Please help?

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

Seems like you're at a loss.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
