Here's an example of a text object taken from the XML, if you're curious: https://clips.clb92.xyz/2024-09-08_22-27-04_gfxTWDQt13RMnTIS.png

EDIT: And with more complicated strings (like ones havingnumbers or symbols - just regular-ass ASCII symbols, mind you) there will be tens of , because apparently numbers and letters don't even work the same. Even line breaks have their own . And if the number of these and their charLen don't match what's actually in pt:data, it won't open the file.

Lots or file formats are just zipped XML.

I was ~~reverse engineering~~ fucking around with the LBX file format for our Brother label printer's software at work, because I wanted to generate labels programmatically, and they're zipped XML too. Terrible format, LBX, really annoying to work with. The parser in Brother P-Touch Editor is really picky too. A string is 1 character longer or shorter than the length you defined in an attribute earlier in the XML? "I've never seen this file format in my life," says P-Touch Editor.

Ogg was apparently not named after Nanny Ogg, no matter how awesome that'd be.

The Xiph.org foundation themselves say that's where the name came from.

The Vorbis audio codec was also named after Vorbis from Small Gods, the 13th Discworld book.

Yeah, you could get hundreds of cheap nozzles for $70. I've bought packs of 10 nozzles for 74 cents. That's almost a thousand nozzles I could get instead of one $70 tungsten one. Or maybe "only" 800 nozzles if I factor in a pessimistic shipping cost too.

EDIT: Checked the price I paid and it was even cheaper than I remember. Edited my calculations.

I haven't actually tried the Pinecil myself. I do have the Miniware TS80 (not TS80P, so no USB PD support in mine) and these small soldering irons in general are pretty awesome.

The new logo sort of looks like a white flag. It symbolizes the fact that Mozilla has just completely given up by now.

The moz://a logo is really genius. I wonder if their current leadership is so incompetent that they don't even understand the :// part of the logo...

and frankly people got really pushy about a thing they don’t even pay for

He doesn't owe anyone anything, and he can decide to run his open source project just as he pleases, but it could have gone so much better. People are mostly just disappointed, I feel like.

I'll have you know that I always use the Wii safety strap! Some call me weird for still walking around with that strap so many years after I sold my Wii, but I haven't broken a single TV since then...

You could fit a small soldering iron in there too, like the Pinecil or TS80P.
