  5. TIL that you can convert a two-letter ISO country code into the emoji of the flag of that country like this (I'll use France [FR] as an example):

    1. Get the ASCII character code of each letter: F = 70, R = 82.
    2. Add 127,397 to each; now you have F = 127,467 and R = 127,479.
    3. Use those as unicode codepoints (🇫 🇷)
    4. Concatenate both to get the emoji: 🇫🇷

    Magic! 🤩

  24. Aside: I notice we use both #CaPoli and #CanPoli here in Canada. I will never forgive the internet standards people for going with the 2-letter iso names instead of the 3-letter ones for country-TLDs and language-codes.

    3-letter codes would prevent the "is CA Canada or California".

    The biggest countries use 2-letter state/prov codes, so 3-letter countries would prevent ambiguity.

    My site should be Pxtl.can, written in en-can not Pxtl.ca written in en-ca.

  29. appears to have changed SHORT name of the in its widely-used list from "Netherlands (the)" to "Netherlands (Kingdom of the)", making it same as the official long version name. This would usually follow a change at the UN. Anyone know what's going on?

  34. North #Korea has changed the status of #Kaesong from a "special city" to a "metropolitan city". I'm not sure what that entails.

    It is the first content change in North Korea's #ISO3166 list in ages.

  35. Только сейчас заметиль, что у Тайваня 🇹🇼 есть свой код ISO 3166-1 alpha 2.
    Странно, я думал, что такие есть только у суверенных государств.
