Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

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.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  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.

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?

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

biblically accurate Typography,
quite literally

[โ€“] sarmale@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[โ€“] Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de 28 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EDIT: i just read that unicode 4.0 is very outdated, current version is unicode 15.1 with 149,878 characters.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

[โ€“] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] Turun@feddit.de 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

This is a years old meme lol

[โ€“] olicvb@lemmy.ca 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

[โ€“] FierroGamer@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] kahjtheundedicated@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At first I thought it was about NNN

[โ€“] Stamets@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

I forgot it changed over from Locktober

[โ€“] 257m@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] 0ops@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] FellowHuman@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Please help?

[โ€“] habanhero@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 years ago

Seems like you're at a loss.
