Name
The village (originally a farm) was first mentioned in 1567 ("Aa"). The name is from Old Norse á, which means "(small) river".[2]
gollark: The line```lua local h = assert(http.get(url, nil, true)) -- binary mode, to avoid any weirdness```in potatOS works in CCEmuX but not CraftOS-PC. Although it might be that the HTTP thing is broken too, I can't check.
gollark: CraftOS-PC's `assert` seems to work differently to the CC one.
gollark: But if you only plan to add new functions, programs can also just do `if not(library.thing and library.otherThing) then error "update weird libraries or something" end`
gollark: Maybe also supply a "is version of X greater than" function.
gollark: Also that.
