ISTR the origin of Cyril and Methodius (the two monks that created the precursor to the cyrillic alphabet, can't remember the exact name of that alphabet ATM) cannot be pinpointed as either Greek or Bulgarian because no such documentation has been found. They surely were Byzantine, though.
Cyril and Methodius didn't create Cyrillic. That's a very common misconception. They created the Glagolitic[1] alphabet which was a precursor script. Cyrillic was developed later by their students and other scholars in the Preslav Literary School[2]. They named it Cyrillic to honour the brothers, but the brothers themselves didn't create Cyrillic.
EDIT: Sorry, I misread what you wrote. It's late and it's been a long day. You weren't saying the brothers created Cyrillic. As for whether they were Greek/Bulgarian I cannot say. I've read different opinions on that throughout the years. Definitely Byzantine, but anything else I cannot say.
> When compared to encoding a value directly in binary, base64 has about a 25% overhead (6 bits /8 bits, 3/4).
The original data take ≥25% less space than the base64-encoded data, but the base64-encoded data take ≥33⅓% more space than the original data. The overhead is about 33⅓%.

> Is there an advantage I'm not seeing over Ctrl+T
My own experience is that all of the times I press Ctrl+T is to open a new tab to enter a location I want to navigate to; I don't care much for what the new tab displays (this is why I set my default new tab to a blank page), and if I did, it would probably be a distraction.
I wrote a long text involving time travel, modern technology and video recording and finished with “What is the case name again?”
It obliged by “You have 6 actions remaining. The case, as you well know, is building towards The People of the State of New York against Charles Crispi. What do you do at the Identification Bureau?”
When I wrote “I carefully and meticulously copy the discovered fingertips, and then ask Fitzpatrick for help.” and got back “Fitzpatrick watches with a mixture of amusement and bewilderment as you meticulously dust the glass pane with a camel hair brush”, I thought it just re-used the adverb I gave it.
This is not article-content-related but article-presentation-related: the trouble with 3-pixel-wide scrollbars is that you have to be very exact when you try to use them. Yes, there are scroll wheels and keyboard buttons, but forcing the mobile experience (on a mobile I probably wouldn't notice) on non-mobile setups is at least annoying.
No, you're not; however, since there weren't any comments here condemning PyShell's (lack of) speed and stating the absolute need for rewrite in another language[1], it was easy to deduce that Python-the-language really wasn't mentioned in the article.
