The spirit is there definitely. My take is that it's only a matter of time before emojis creep into every area where text is used. Let's hope they won't ever become a mainstream part of programming languages.
In the book Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson the future working class are functionally illiterate so everything is communicated by emoji. Funny, but also a little bit frightening.
My firefox got OOM killed thanks to this.
There are a few ccTLDs that allow emojis in domains. [0] So you could buy all the ones you need for an animation and set up a redirect loop. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji_domain

I love the creativity of the hack, especially when he sync'd the video position with the scrubber. Respect. I also love the guy's vaguely deranged, Adult Swim -inspired commentary. I went from hater to fan in about 30 seconds, once I realized that he must idolize Tim Heidecker. Again, respect. However, what I love the most is how the video was composited and edited. What tools do you use to pull that together without…
Heyyyy thanks glad you enjoyed it! I was surprised to wake up and see this on Hacker News today. Thought I'd comment on the video editing: It is all pretty low tech. I use Adobe Premiere to edit and mostly just animate transform, scale, and crop effects to achieve everything. Like for the zooms you pointed out I double up a layer of the screencap and then crop and scale. It's a bit painstaking at times. Another littl…

In the article it does state that the history API could be used and why it wasn't. The first point about updating the whole URL is easy to render moot: when you push new state using the history API, replicate the effect of location.hash by making sure you only change the hash part. The second part is the sticky one for the "ain't this cool" factor: the throttle in some browsers effectively limits constant animation t…
All I know is he tried pushState. Perhaps replaceState is not throttled, because it doesn't create new history entries, just replaces the last one. Try this in chrome console. And yes, it doesn't throttle at all. i=0; setInterval(() => history.replaceState('', '', '/' + (i++)), 50); It's interesting how people will just believe everything, even if the test is 30 seconds away.

"Emojicode is an open-source, full-blown programming language consisting of emojis."

Youtube poops and endless music video memes are some of the best things to come out of the meme culture. Because folk culture is now truly ‘multimedia’ and we have a horde of people for whom hyperactive video and sound editing is second nature. Now just to wait for when it becomes mainstream and commoditized like graphics editing. I'm hoping for about the same fate for knowledge visualization techniques—might see it…
