@suetanvil @paul @neauoire Who would have thought that Vimes Boots Theory applied to electronics too?

@smuglispweenie @jwildeboer I think that excerpt is from a time (2003) when ISO 10646 imagined that Unicode would use codepoints higher than U+10FFFF. There have been ~5 major releases of ISO 10646 since then and while I haven’t found any online I would venture that they have since limited UTF-8 to four bytes, in line with the RFC.

There are other limits on UTF-8 too, all mentioned in the RFC: encoding surrogate codepoints is illegal; overlong sequences to hide (say) \0 are illegal.

A busier morning down on Mills #Beach at Mornington today. There was a vlogger with a drone taking virtual walk videos. There was a senior man with a Labrador cross throwing sticks. Teddy went in the water once. #dogs

@dadegroot No, couldn’t have been, he didn’t want to shake my hand.

Do you know a trans man who transitioned at the age of 23? Get him this birthday candle from Brazil for when he turns 24. So much symbolism!

It is 2022 somewhere in the world, so you are allowed to go to bed now no matter what your time zone is.
