    Every talk i watch by Dylan has been absolutely amazing. I love being a certified Rockstar developer and the fun you bring to coding! This one especially made me think about all the considerations that go into text and other seemingly simple things we use everyday. I knew time zones were a mess but when every alphabet past, present, and future is involved, hats off to Unicode and the UTF-8 standard. Keep up the great talks! 😁

      I'm always looking forward to a new Dylan Beattie talk.. even if it's the same topic as one i've already watched (I watched "Plain text" from NDC already) but besides my brain is like a sieve, there's always a few additions and modifications that are interesting.

    I do really wish Dylan talks more about CJK stuff. The Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters.
    Like, I guess it’s a bit outside of the scope of this talk? But things like Han Unification is super interesting.

    Give this guy a talk show! He's so much better than the Spotify or pot fuelled 'talking' heads out there. Just give him the radio station for that matter! We'd lose a good programmer but AI is gonna need an overlord anyway. I nominate Dylan for overlord! ;-)

    not sure if dylan will see this, but i think a possible reason why not all of the greek alphabet was added to codepage 437 was also due to the fact that greek at that time still had a fair amount of diacritic marks (even if they didn't do anything anymore), so it would have been harder than just adding a few more letters.

    What if the line starts on the right 😜BUGGER ! the end of the line is the left and I just tricked myself with data, again, as we do🤣
    Information ? no no sir. That doesn't have a physical form. We should read that word as "structured data"
    "HOW STRUCTURED MATE ?"

    Great talk but you should leave politics out of software.

      I think you may have missed the overlying message that even just trying to code and create fun things like emojis or alphabetical sorting which you would imagine live in political isolation can be influenced by the political climate it exists in because in the end most things are used by some random end user who has some political bias that we may agree or disagree with but irregardless we may be forced to take their biases into our considerations when making software

    2:22 Ah, yes that's the kind of comments I sometimes write when I'm on vacation or don't have a project at work and I start to comment on something late at night after my ADHD meds has worn off. 😅
    ...though this is still split into 3 paragraphs, to me that would indicate it's still early in the evening so the meds, have still some effect... On the other hand; I now see that it's edited, so those 4 line breaks might have been added afterwards, as an afterthought ... when you realise that a screen full of text probably should probably be more than one large paragraph.
    (I got to stop writing now before I write an equally crazy comment... I think I forgot to take my afternoon Ritalin today...)

      I guess my point was, these sorts of comments might result from too much stimulants, or too little stimulants... Depends on the kind of brain you have.
