Etymology

The name honours Edward Doubleday

gollark: And yet it is still uncool and annoying to work with.
gollark: There's a bit of redundancy because there are often multiple different codons which code for the same amino acid.
gollark: Clearly we should just implement Hamming codes or something.
gollark: Hmm, so they indeed might already have some sort of bad ECC available.
gollark: Humans still end up mutating enough to get cancer and annoying stuff like that, sadly.
