This sounds like an exciting challenge to honor Alan Turing's legacy! The One Byte Explainer task will really test our ability to distill complex computer science concepts into just 256 characters. Looking forward to participating and learning from everyone's entries.

Nope, i.e actually stands for id est, which is Latin for “that is.” The abbreviation “e.g.” stands for the Latin phrase exempli gratia, meaning “for example.”

(And yes, i am fun at parties :P )

I think that you could choose any subject... You can check published entries page here and there is people who publish about other subjects than examples.

Ahh, 256 characters though it will be too short. I'm waiting to see who the winner is.

"Submission Template" button link has an extra "H" at the URL beginning that's messing its use.

My content includes 256 characters with spaces and 218 without them.
Should I have the content with spaces included or add more till there's exactly 256 characters excluding spaces?
