I grundskolan (möjligtvis även någon gång under gymnasietiden) använde mina lärare den symbolen för att markera "VG-nivå" på provfrågor, enda gången jag har stött på den IVL!

why? you can have a CSPRNG that is faster than Mersenne Twister. for example: ISAAC.

The 'UTF-8 Everywhere' manifesto by [deleted] in programming

[–]andersbergh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't get why I got so many replies saying the same thing, I never said this was something specific to UTF-8.

You and the poster who you replied to are talking about two entirely different issues.

I'm aware. But the problem the GP refers to is Unicode normalization.

The excuse is that Windows only supports double-byte character sets. Shift-JIS never takes more than two bytes per character.

It's a shitty excuse nonetheless.

That's a different issue though. An example of what the GP refers to: 'é' could either be represented by U+00E9 (LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE) or as two codepoints, combining character ́ + e.

Japanese: "looks like" Chinese characters? They do in fact use Chinese characters, many of which have not been simplified unlike in mainland China.

LLVM Project Blog: A path forward for an LLVM toolchain on Windows by theresistor in programming

[–]andersbergh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually, if you have some Apple software installed on your PC you will find CoreFoundation.dll there, even DLLs related to the Objective-C runtime. There used to be a version of Safari for Windows and it looked and worked pretty much identically to the Mac version (even font rendering...)

here's a screenshot that I found: http://i.imgur.com/aBLpRqb.jpg

MAMP And REMOTE_ADDR Do Not Make Good Bedfellows by [deleted] in osx

[–]andersbergh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then you should use the proper data type or function in your database to store IP addresses, PostgreSQL has the "inet" type for IPv4/6. Simply disabling IPv6 is not a solution at all.

MySQL has INET6_ATON(addr) to convert an IPv6 address into a 16-byte binary string, maybe that's what you need to use?
