New comment by dbaupp in "UTF-8 is a brilliant design"

dbaupp — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 21:52:49 +0000

UTF-8 encodes each character into a whole number of bytes (8, 16, 24, or 32 bits), and the 10 continuation marker is only at the start of the extra continuation bytes, it is just data when that pattern occurs within a byte.

You are correct that it never occurs at the start of a byte that isn’t a continuation bytes: the first byte in each encoded code point starts with either 0 (ASCII code points) or 11 (non-ASCII).

Is that a deprecation? Or is it just removed?

New comment by dbaupp in "4.5M Suspected Fake Stars in GitHub"

dbaupp — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 23:01:58 +0000

People use stars differently.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.07643 is some investigatory research describing, among other things, 4 clusters of reasons for starring: to show appreciation, bookmarking, due to usage, due to third-party recommendation.
