Q: Why do text editors think this file is UTF-8?

Jason CI have two text files, which I'm giving download links to rather than a pastebin to preserve their contents precisely: field1.txt field2.txt Both of these text files consist only of spaces, carriage returns, newlines, and the letter X, and they should be ASCII encoded. The only difference bet...

^ Any of you guys happen to have any idea what's going on here?
 
7:39 AM
Nope sorry
 
Will try to investigate
 
7:57 AM
@JasonC seems like a case of "bush hid the facts". Look it up.
 
@JasonC Cannot reproduce on Android. shrug
I can't download the file on Windows due to company network block the file sharing. But I agree with Jan
 
Oh... yeah, hmm, must be.
I wonder what the magic string in the file is, if that's the case. It's super weird that one works and the other doesn't given the nature of the differences between the two. But I guess there's some black magic going on.
 
newline word-alignment?
 
Either that or it has something to do with SE enabling CloudFlare routing on MSE.
 
How's that related?

Q: The whole SE is now a programming community?

nicaelThe header at http://stackexchange.com/about says: Did the whole Stack Exchange suddenly become a programming community?

 
@nicael That would probably be clearer if you showed it in contrast with the top-bar drop list and SE logo. It took me a minute to figure out what you meant; because it looks OK when the window is wide enough.
And the horizontal scrollbar pegged left on the browser.

@Unihedro "they"? He's one single human being.
 
Singular they is the use of they, or its inflected or derivative forms, such as them, their, or themselves, to refer to a single person or an antecedent that is grammatically singular. It typically occurs with an antecedent of indeterminate gender, as in sentences such as: "Everyone returned to their seats." "Somebody left their umbrella in the office. Would they please collect it?" "The patient should be told at the outset how much they will be required to pay." "But a journalist should not be forced to reveal their sources." A reason for its use is that English has no dedicated singular personal...
 
Nah, he's so awesome, it's plural
 
@Unihedro too confusing.
