wonders if github can be made to serve handwritten html, since the only post-2000 features I might need are PNGs and some Unicode characters

I don't know the history of the development of ASCII, but its predecessors had BELL control codes too, AFAIK
<SilverFox>
is there a revised ascii with the bullshit taken out of it?
<SilverFox>
also why is extended ascii a thing
<UmbralRaptop>
No, and localization is hard, respectively
<SilverFox>
ascii goes to 127 why? why are we using half a byte and not the full byte?
<UmbralRaptop>
Because saving a bit or something made sense in the 1960s
<UmbralRaptop>
127 characters was luxurious compared to baudot codes
<SnoopJeDi>
That does seem to be what the Wikipedia article's main source is claiming (also WOW what an impressive-looking book)
<SilverFox>
7-bit vs 8-bit isn't that big of a difference though
<SilverFox>
and 1 bit gives you twice the available characters
<SnoopJeDi>
Which they didn't need
<SnoopJeDi>
and 12.5% is nothing to sniff at
<SnoopJeDi>
it looks like the committee considered that for systems that sent a full byte, the 8th bit could be used for a parity check
<SilverFox>
a parity bit? like if the bit wasn't a 1 or 0 they know the message has been tampered with?>
<galois>
[WIKIPEDIA] Parity bit | "A parity bit, or check bit, is a bit added to a string of binary code to ensure that the total number of 1-bits in the string is even or odd. Parity bits are used as the simplest form of error detecting code.There are two variants of parity bits: even parity bit and odd parity bit.In the case of even..."

whitequark, does the IRC protocol require a timestamp?
<SilverFox>
if so, would that mean I need an RTC module before I can program up IRC stuff?
<whitequark>
does not
<SilverFox>
I wonder how hard an RTC module would be
