People... Please stop using foreign alphabets like that! It's a nightmare for those of us who know the alphabets. It took me a good 20 seconds to read the title. And it's magnitudes worse when someone uses cyrillic for instance and it's native to me.

Foreign alphabet transliteration drama thread under the best hacking-grade article in years. Thanks, hn.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

"actmally rdrtable execmtable" that's more or less how it reads to someone who knows the Greek alphabet :-D (I might be partially wrong because I've studied Greek many years ago and my memory is not good)

That's an English p, not a Greek ρ.

Yep - if you want people to focus on what you actually wrote, don't do this. I couldn't get past the title.

Same here, it's extremely annoying. Other pet peeves include "grssk" and Beyoncé's documentary's monstrosity that I don't even care to recall.

You need to see when me and my friends start chatting in English written in Cyrillic. It's epic and utterly frustrating for the first hours, then becomes like native ;)

What's the program being used to go through the machine code in the gif?

I'm not sure exactly what debugger is used, but gdb dashboard can be set up in a similar way. It's just stepping through instructions and viewing the registers and some memory regions.

Though any debugger should be able to give the same information (including just plain gdb).

This is a massive issue on Twitter when people use "vanity" display names as well.

It's the Cyclopean, non-Euclidean display names that really grind my gears.

The ones that bother me more are all the mathematical characters, horribly abused.
