EmojiOne Color SVGinOT Font
EmojiOne Color SVGinOT Font
A color and B&W emoji SVGinOT font built from EmojiOne artwork with support for ZWJ, skin tone diversity and country flags. The font works in all operating systems, but will currently only show color emoji in Firefox, Thunderbird, Photoshop CC 2017, and Windows Edge V38.14393+. This is not a limitation of the font, but of the operating systems and applications. Regular B&W outline emoji are included for backward/fallback compatibility. SVG in Open Type is a standard by Adobe and Mozilla for color OpenType and Open Font Format fonts. It allows font creators to embed complete SVG files within a font enabling full color and even animations. There are more details in the SVGinOT proposal and the OpenType SVG table specifications. The default serif, sans-serif and monospace font for most Linux distributions is DejaVu. DejaVu includes a wide range of symbols that override the EmojiOne Color characters. -

Hacker Laws
Laws, theories, principles and patterns useful to developers
Laws, Theories, Principles and Patterns that developers will find useful. There are lots of laws which people discuss when talking about development. This repository is a reference and overview of some of the most common ones. Principles and laws to follow such as: If a program is made up of two parts, part A, which must be executed by a single processor, and part B, which can be parallelised, then we see that adding multiple processors to the system executing the program can only have a limited benefit. It can potentially greatly improve the speed of part B - but the speed of part A will remain unchanged. Also, theories like The Broken Windows Theory, which suggests that visible signs of crime (or lack of care of an environment) lead to further and more serious crimes (or further deterioration of the environment). Conway's Law suggests that the technical boundaries of a system will reflect the structure of the organisation. These among others, are featured in this project. -

Certificate Transparency Go
Auditing for TLS certificates (Go code)
certificate-transparency-go is a Go codebase for building and interacting with Certificate Transparency (CT) systems, from low-level parsing to full log operation. It includes forked ASN.1 and X.509 packages tailored to accept and analyze real-world certificates, including pre-certificates that stricter libraries would reject, supporting CT’s role as an ecosystem observatory. A TLS parsing library, CT data types, and multiple client libraries enable access to CT logs over HTTP and DNS, along with scanners for traversing entire logs. The repository also provides command-line tools for verifying signed certificate timestamps, inspecting certificates and CRLs, and querying logs. For operators, a “CT personality” integrates with Trillian so you can run a CT log backed by a verifiable transparency log. The project is structured for contributors, with generators, mocks, linting, and presubmit tooling to keep changes consistent and reliable. -
