I'm glad about that. I find it weird reading through comment threads or forums and seeing mobile phone emojis scattered through. I find them distracting.
I'm not really too sure why. I don't mind them in personal messages or texts and stuff, but seeing them on public pages just kind of annoys me for some reason.
- hprotagonist 6y agohow about very carefully rebased commit histories?
- Freak_NL 6y agoOddly enough nobody in my company uses emoji in commit messages, even though we have no policy that prevents it. It just doesn't make sense there. I see it on public repositories sometimes, but it never really seems to add anything useful.
- jefftk 6y agoThe amp project uses them a lot, and has a system where different kinds of commits get different leading emoji: https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/commits/master https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/commits/master I'm used to them at this point, and it's kind of nice when scanning commits to be able to see what type they are.
- grawprog 6y agoI have to admit, i've never actually read through any commit histories with emojis in them... Don't get me wrong, i'm not going to get mad or lose my mind or anything when I see an emoji somewhere, it just I dunno it looks wrong or something.
- mainstreem 6y agoI've seen interesting commit strategies prepending a different emoji for, e.g., feature/bug changes.
- masklinn 6y agoSwitch your system / default font to B&W if you don't like the colorised emoji.
- masklinn 6y ago> I'm glad about that. I'm not because it's completely arbitrary about it e.g. you can include 🁓, 🀕, ⏱, 🃅, box drawing, or Z̸̠̽a̷͍̟̱͔͛͘̚ĺ̸͎̌̄̌g̷͓͈̗̓͌̏̉o̴̢̺̹̕ but not trigrams, die faces, box elements, musical notes or flags. They just whitelisted/blacklisted entire blocks and called it a day. Which obviously is par for the course when it comes to HN's comment box, the markup system is even more half-assed.
- tzs 6y agoI wish they would add U+2009 (thin space) to that list. That's the standard way under the SI system to separate digit groups, e.g., 1 234 567. HN just treats it as a regular space. (The SI standard for separating the integer part from the fractional part is to use "." or ",", whichever is customary in your location. Using thin space for grouping removes the ambiguity that you get in places that use one of "."/"," for grouping and the other for a decimal point).
- jrochkind1 6y agoI wonder if that's putting things through unicode "canonical normalization", or than custom rules. Let's see what it does with `U+00BC Vulgar Fraction One Quarter Unicode Character`... ¼ Nope it allows it instead of turning into `1/4`, so that's not canonical normalization. I guess it's custom rules? Or some other unicode transformation we're not thinking of, or other third-party re-usable transformation.
- masklinn 6y ago> I guess it's custom rules? Or some other unicode transformation we're not thinking of, or other third-party re-usable transformation. They just blacklisted (or whitelisted) blocks or categories.
- jrochkind1 6y agoConverting a U+2009 THIN SPACE into an ordinary ascii space is not black/whitelisting.
- whateveracct 6y agoImagine how much more expressive my comment would've been if HN didn't strip the emoji [1] I had at the end though [1] https://emojipedia.org/pensive-face/ https://emojipedia.org/pensive-face/
- oauea 6y agoIt would make me instantly disregard your comment as immature
- whateveracct 6y agohm that feels more like a problem you have than one inherent to my comment tho
