Could somebody explain the Coral Pixel font? It makes no sense to me, given that the whole point of sub pixels was to look sharp without looking colorful. It only ever looked like …

I think it depends on the country. In Germany, everything you write is automatically copyrighted, unless you explicitly waive it. In the US, it's the other way around, you have to …

It depends on the language and/or used libraries. E.g. in Go, the problem does not exist, because it uses UTF-32; Rust uses UTF-8, but it makes sure that you can't cut a string bet…

Is there some philosophical/ethics work done on the question which fictional crimes, taboo breaks or unethical behavior are okay and which aren't? Iirc Japan takes the extreme posi…

QR codes store bits, arranged into bytes (A byte is the shape of a 3x3 square with one corner missing), so how more traditional can it get?

The lack of capitalism meant that the holodeck program authors had no need to optimize their programs for user retention to show them more ads. So much fewer people suffer from hol…

"Cargo cult"? As in, "Looks like the genius artists at Pixar made everything extra green, so let's continue doing this, since it's surely genius."

Why does it have Either? Doesn't TypeScript have "A | B" style sum types?
