Numeronymize
- perks_12 2y agothis will come in handy once I start my vc fund.
- smartmic 2y agoPerl and its powerful oneliners deserve the credit for this exercise.
- jl6 2y agoAmbiguously rude numeronyms can make you look like a big s2t.
- 082349872349872 2y agoMake your service names easy to remember: adopt the convention that they should be Hamming-distance 1 away from swears.
- MereInterest 2y agoDoes that mean git has an off-by-one error, as it is Hamming-distance of zero?
- KaiserPro 2y agoI'm loving the perl one liners. I fear its a dying art! Tangent: I worked at a large financial news site for a number of years. One of our best engineers spun up an "a11y" sub team. As it was quite involved and they went team to team doing things, I assume it was some sort of dev tool initiative. It was only after I left and I was describing it as the "ally" team that I was told what it meant. Its like "banal" its only when you say it out load amongst (hopefully) friends do you realise that you've not got it quite right....
- Feathercrown 2y agoI dislike numeronyms. They may be shorter to type, but unlike acronyms, where the acronym itself is a valid pronounciation, numeronyms cannot usually be pronounced. The only way to know how is to know what the original word is, so you have to ask every time.

- griftrejection 2y agoIt will never cease to be funny how inaccessible "a11y" is if you don't already know what it means. Mike Judge couldn't even make this stuff up.
- card_zero 2y agoProbably anorthography: a loss of the ability to write or to express thoughts in writing because of a brain lesion.
- hollerith 2y agoIf you don't already know, you use a search engine to find out. (Lack of an obvious pronunciation is a good objection, tho.)
- cowsandmilk 2y agoThat doesn’t change the fact that it is inaccessible for no gain.

- timpark 2y agoFor fun, I wrote some Javascript that will numeronymize text, but it will also "de-numeronymize" it again by converting the result back into random words that also match. (if a match can't be found, it returns the original word, and unlike the article, it doesn't handle non-English characters) https://www.timpark.org/n10e-s2e-t2t/ https://www.timpark.org/n10e-s2e-t2t/ Ex: "accessibility localization internationalization multilingualization globalization" becomes "a11y l10n i18n m17n g11n" becomes "applicability locomutation intercrystallization metaphenylenediamin gastrocnemian"
- fifticon 2y agoI misinterpreted this first as hacker/leet-speak, so that those words would be ALLY and CLAN..
- OscarCunningham 2y agoI-1i think this i0s funnier t0o apply t0o short words. Also t1e word 'a4d' i0s pronounced like i1's written.

- AlecBG 2y agoTranslation: There is no better way to write with long words than to numeronymise them everywhere! Or for the less obtuse among us, this version will only numeronymise words with length six and up:
- worstspotgain 2y agoI spent some time staring at l4h, after quickly reading o4e as 'obese' on the way there. I suppose this might be a good Freudian slip generation scheme?
- awelotta 2y agoNumeronymizing without internationalization would not be complete, thus this [???] a utf-8 compatible version. I call it Internumeronymizer-v1.0
- ajuc 2y agoSpelling accessability as a11y is the pinnacle of irony.
- lxe 2y agoThought it was a typo. It's not: https://mastodon.hccp.org/@igb/112734767519719978 https://mastodon.hccp.org/@igb/112734767519719978 > e14n -> "Andreesen Horowitz" is not a typo, it is a bit of an easter egg/joke (Sorry, I can't help myself.): > "e14n" has recently shown up in social meda as shorthand for @pluralistic's "enshittification" coinage. Andreesen Horowitz often refers to themselves using a numeronym: "a16z".
- 2shortplanks 2y agoFowler's Law on Unicode: There's always another bug, you just haven't found it yet. Dr Drang's script counts the number of _characters_ not the number of _glyphs_. This matters because there's more than one way to represent é: Either just as unicode character \x{e9} ("NFC") or as a combination of "e" and the combining character that adds the accent ("NFD") For example for "léon" this prints out "l3n" for me. What you need to do is normalize to NFC. > /usr/bin/perl -C -MUnicode::Normalize -pe '$_=NFC($_);s/(.)(.+)(.)/$1 . length($2) . $3/e'
- wizzwizz4 2y agoNFC isn't right, either: some letters don't have pre-composed forms. Imo, you need to pull in a whole glyph-counting algorithm.

- 627467 2y agofor whatever reason I always thought a11y was ally. but, is c14n c(i)yan? and, what is l18n?
- ThrowawayTestr 2y agoIs this 1337 speak for the modern world?
- wcrossbow 2y agoToday I learned something new, but I found it very ironic that after looking up a11y, the first example, discovered it meant accessibility. edit: I do realize that I might be missing the joke entirely
- xigoi 2y agoWhile this project is probably a joke, the general usage of “a11y” is unfortunately not.
