Wait, HN renders emojis?

It doesn't except for a 10-second window today. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34460417

I swear I saw a heart emoji a few months ago in a comment at the bottom of a long thread. Not sure if it was a bug, an easter egg, or maybe a figment of my imagination.

Also I wonder if you have a secret dashboard full of buttons to control this website, and now there's a "Enable emojis for 10 seconds" button, next to "Subtract 1 karma to anyone with a custom topcolor" and "Promote a random Lisp post to the front page"

For anyone wondering, this is basically a young millennial / gen z meme. The emoji is usually pronounced "pwease", as in a childlike pronunciation of "please"

Therefore the command is basically just asking very nicely, hoping to get one's way

edit. source: dude just trust me

Alternatively, a good chunk of my twitter feed would call this the bottom emoji, without attempting to give it a pronunciation. I don't think any particular pronunciation has consensus, but various groups of people imbue it different meanings.

This tool canonically has no pronunciation and any attempt to give it one is non-canon. It is a child of the Internet.

The actual title is supposed to be "🥺: the best sudo replacement", but I'm not surprised that Hacker News stripped the emoji.

I've put it back for you. HN is plain-text-obsessive by design but occasional exceptions make life interesting.

Thanks!

I know I'm an old fart but this is yet another reason why I don't want my servers supporting UTF-8.

LC_ALL=C

It's important and NECESSARY to be inclusive, and as long as nginx can still provide the UTF-8 characters I don't care; but there is no way I can allow anything other then US ASCII to be on the terminal.
