Your weekly list of eductional, distracting, or shareable links:

• If you've ever had suspicions about weird unicode characters creeping into your code or documents, the?Fontspace Unicode Analyzer will reveal all. (This has happened to Chris in some?C code?and it really confused the compiler).
• If you've ever been confused by floating point number formats (and if you haven't you either haven't looked too closely or are lying),?float.exposed?is a great way to demystify them.
• Julia's?whole?"interactive playgrounds" list, which includes the above items,?is excellent.?
• A?comprehensive look at standards for secure C?from Carnegie Mellon's Secure Engineering Institute. It's a good window into some weird corners of C and a few other languages.
• A?very cool tool for drawing browser compatible memory maps. It's based on Python and has its own file format?for describing the maps.
