Magazine icon ratios (kbin.social)
 

Why is is that magazine icons are only displayed in the ratio of 6:5? Anything outside of that ratio gets awkwardly cropped out.

Sounds about right for Delaware. There's literally more corporations registered there than people.

Interpreter writing competition? (kbin.social)
 

A while ago on Reddit I remember reading about Prolog, and the fact that it "made writing interpreters so easy it was banned in competitions." Is there such a thing as an interpreter or compiler writing competition?

One single hard-coded uneditable slur words list... really?! in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

From Software games have filters for player names and it often leads to stuff like this. Thus if you put "knight" in your character's name, a common thing that people do given that they're medieval fantasy games, it appears as "k***ht." Likewise "dead" becomes "d***" and "Thomas" becomes "T**mas." Even more embarrassingly, the filter is case sensitive and all the filtered words are lowercase, so you could name your character a slur and it would be fine as long as you capitalize the first letter.
