TIL that some Unicode-implementations have a "bug" (peculiarity) with one specific Turkish character. The character in question is LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE.

There are two special characters in Turkish alphabet:

  1. ı - LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I
  2. İ - LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE

When you convert the lower-case character to its uppercase version, it HAS TO BECOME your usual I: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I
And when you convert the upper-case character to its lower-case version, it HAS TO BECOME your usual i: LATIN SMALL LETTER I

But Javascript (and macOS in general, just so that you know it ain't a JS-issue) converts the İ to i̇ + DOT ABOVE, i.e. it converts it to a composed character consisting of two unicode code-points, which is wrong, because the first code-point s already correct.

@RCSM Five years between releases was a long break, for sure. Great to see the project making progress!

JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, and others plotted airstrikes in Yemen over Signal. Somehow, they added The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief to the group chat. I’ll bet it was that drunkard, Pete Hegseth. thegodpodcast.com/p/morons-lea…

A good point was brought up in another post. WHY were they using an app that doesn't retain any records of the texts in the first place? Bypassing the records laws now TOO?


Ah, Komoot has been acquired by the same private equity group which previously has destroyed what was left of Evernote, WeTransfer, MeetUp and many other sites. Bye bye, Komoot.

Thanks, that's really interesting.

I think we should all be increasingly wary of getting involved in new platforms owned by private companies. This ALWAYS happens.

Assorted German kings and emperors sleep under German various mountains.

They are prophesied to return one day, but since this usually means that the Final Battle at the end of the world is upon us, someone should probably make sure that they _don't_ return.

@Virginicus There might have been a mixup with Untersberg Mountain, as both Charlemagne and Barbarossa are reputed to sleep there.

ooh, I'm missing it this year but that sounds like a great session! Enjoy!


We're live this Friday with the first episode looking at functional programming, and so I thought I'd put together a collection of the material I've created over the years on the topic, in the form of presentations, documents and blog posts, in case you want to dive in before the first episode. Share & enjoy!

Running a #robotics workshop later this week and wanted to be able to use these much cheaper mecanum wheels with the N20 micro geared motors I tend to use on #StoRPer builds. Spent some time dialling in this #3dprinted adapter in @FreeCAD its working well.

Today's #TuneTuesday is my own theme, #TrainingMontage, and I'm going to be indulgent about it. I post music from the gym a lot, and how better to define lifting than with epic hardcore?

I often use my lifting sessions to spend intimate time with music, and today that's an album my friend gave me, which has hardly been out of my speakers this week:

#Krankenkasse⁣⁣n-Tipp: Patientenquittung beantragen. Bei der #TechnikerKrankenkasse sehr einfach über diesen Link:

tk.de/service/form/2006506/tkv…

Dauert einen Tag, dann kommt ein PDF raus mit allen Behandlungen und Diagnosen, die man so hatte, chronologisch, mit Abrechnungsziffer (kann man nach suchen für mehr Infos) und Kosten.

Hilfreich, um z.B. einer #BerufsunfähigkeitsVersicherung zu beweisen, dass man bisher nichts Gravierendes hatte.

Oder einfach als Anamnese.

Publishing looks glossy from the outside. Inside? It’s built on unpaid labour.

My first book is out this year.
Here’s what I actually got paid, what my contract says, & why most authors can’t afford to do this twice.

No lies detected.

When I realized how little publishing paid, how few books most authors sold, and how long and drawn out the process, it really underscored why publishing my own books made a hell of a lot more sense.

Traditional publishing is a lottery where the tickets cost way too much and, like any gambling enterprise, the house always wins.

in reply to Kristie

Totally agree with all of this. I have self-published, and so far have made a loss of a few hundred pounds. Which is why I don't want to spend thousands on marketing etc, because I doubt I would get that back.
