It's an emoji. On my machine it renders in color and in the same style as other emojis. There are a number of emojis that use pre-existing Unicode glyphs. If I remember correctly there are control characters to opt-in/opt-out of e

While it's a fun meme, if you actually look at the list, the inciting incidents are usually (accusations of) police violence/overreach, reforms to cut labor protections, welfare or public education, and Israeli military operations

Did HN start allowing emojis or did that one slip through the cracks because it pre-dates the inclusion of Japanese emojis?

Well, rich and poor people are equally subject to tracking when they travel in their private jets. That seems fair. They can use untracked modes of travel like public transit or cars. We're okay with tracking planes. It's unclear

Being rich doesn't compel you to use private jets for travel. There are plenty other modes of transportation available. In fact, I'd argue being rich affords you a greater choice.

I'd say at that point it's essentially compensation for personal suffering. Yes, BYOIP as a feature does not seem complex enough to warrant paying for an Entperise license. But the kind of customers who need BYOIP (especially if t

I haven't had the (dis)pleasure of working with leaded solder myself so I'm going by anecdotes but lead-free solder seems to have a higher melting point so presumably it's easier to damage components through overheating when

Did you read the blog post? It doesn't include the entire correspondence so it's not clear how explicit Cloudflare was about this but the Enterprise plan they were trying to upsell them includes BYOIP. It's clear to me that C

The point is that when logging in with AzureAD your app needs to talk to AzureAD using OIDC but JWT is an implementation detail of that specifically and there's no reason this means you need to or should be using JWT throughout the res

ROHS solder, aka lead-free solder, is more difficult to work with so "worse", sure, but on the flip side you don't inhale lead fumes which accumulate in your body (i.e. will never leave your body) and have the delayed effect

AzureAD is built around OIDC. Yes, the tokens use JWT but that can be treated as an implementation detail. The mechanism here is OIDC, not specifically JWT. The tokens can be treated as mostly opaque. Also in that case you aren't usi

While I think there might be valid arguments to support that claim, that blog post hardly qualifies. The author runs a gambling site and while the way Cloudflare handled the situation (according to the author) could certainly be improved, t

Well, first of all, you should definitely consider biking some places rather than taking a car, EV or not. Even e-bikes are more energy efficient than most other modes of transport. There's also nothing that could really convince you i

It also can't be overstated that Balfour himself was a staunch racist and antisemite. His motivation for passing the Declaration was at least in part the idea that if the UK gives the Jews their own country, the UK will have a powerful

Counterpoint: driving two screens is something a $500 Windows laptop could easily do years ago so Apple offering a "pro" MBP that can't do this is a surprising choice especially when other MBP laptops have been able to do so
