I agree! There really should be no excuses at this point... you'd think.
Even in 2008 I already felt we were behind the loop, but apparently I was vastly underestimating how bigger companies just dgaf.
The standard itself is 7-bit, since wires were deemed more valuable than endpoint logic for the teletype machines way back then. If you're running it on an 8-bit byte machine you could do it either way, although I'm not sure what the point in parity checking individual characters is. Modern software uses 0.

UTF-8? Anyone?

So... UTF-8 interpreted as ISO-8859-1? You have failed Unicode college >:(

If only you knew how many huge companies have no fucking clue...

And here I was typing out
iso-8859-1like a scrub to make sure I wasn't misremembering the encoding when doing the analogous thing in python...StellarExtract@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

Sorry, no, but I can support it in UTF-16.

Maybe she was sick of trying to get a terminal displaying utf correctly.

Wait Beyonce is a blonde white woman now? Is this what they mean when they say “it’s a different kind of white?”

It's just skin tone, with the right lighting and color grading we all just look like people

0-255 was good enough for me an my grandpappy.

0-127, top bit is always 0.
juliebean@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 2y
i thought the top bit was originally 0 or 1 depending on the evilness/odiousness of the rest of the number, as a parity check.
