Random Names and Obscure Symbols
Suppose you have some data containing names and you need to remove the names for privacy reasons. Is it better to remove the names or to replace the names with randomly generated names? There’s a subtle difference between whether you working with structured or unstructured data.
See Deleting or Removing Names.
I wanted to use a couple obscure symbols in LaTeX recently, and that led me down a rabbit trail exploring how LaTeX, Unicode, and fonts interact.
See Typesetting Sha and Bitcoin.
In the process of looking up how to include the currency symbol for Bitcoin, I noticed that a lot of currency symbols contain parallel lines as I posted here.
Enjoy.
