After using Parinfer for a few years the editing experience felt less like typing and more like a cross between magic and the scene from Ghost in the Shell with the split hands. It's a real shame they weren't able to add it to Calva.
While I do agree with this in almost all cases, I have found scenarios where there are actions that don't map easily to a HTTP verb and need something more explicit.
I'm not a purist; for unusual edge cases, I'll put a verb (or something appropriate to the context) at the end of the path. But `create` isn't unusual, just POST to a collection.
I'd be interested in taking a look to see if they use different bunting styles for different occasions, my thought process was that I could create some form of digital-bunting in my home to indicate various occasions.
As a(n) (English) Brit, I believe this could be quite an excellent indicator of whether I should be drinking Guiness, Tea, Whisky, Pimms, Champagne or Mulled Wine at any given time of the year. I suppose it should live in the Kitchen, near the kettle, or the wine cooler.
The E0000-E007F block is the "Tags" block, which is used for flag emojis.
But there is not a code for each flag. Instead there is a code for each ASCII character.
A flag sequence is formed from U+1F3F4 (Black Flag), followed by at least two tags that form a country/region code, and then U+E007F (End tag).
So, yes this is weird, because the emoji is dependent on the decoder. It was made this way to keep Unicode independent of geopolitics.
They probably have bits of footage from British TV companies, who are fine licencing them to be shown abroad, but have either already sold an exclusive licence for UK broadcast or want to keep that option available to them.
