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 pag


It might have been a rendering of U+2661 ♡ or U+2665 ♄ or U+2764 (this last one does get stripped by HN) which are not emoji but may be rendered as such by the browser.

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

I don't know if it's ironic or not but there is also a sudo replacement in Rust that is called "please"

Rust? Well, speaking of egotistical open source people that refuse to change...

The meaning can also be inferred from
 the face.

Judging just from that, I'd have taken the meaning as "verge of crying" or "my pet just unexpectedly died" Until I read that comment I was having real trouble figuring out WTF it had to do with running commands. I thought it might be some practical joke tool that automatically modifies your commands such that they'll make you sad when they run.

Google “puppy dog eyes”.

Don’t get why we have to bust out all the cringe internet lingo to describe something that you see in that venerable “real world”.

Wait, HN renders emojis?

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

That does keep things interesting (as long as it's not super common) though i do wonder how it looked previously (did it just strip the emoji or is there like a ":pwease:" dropped in?

The quoted paragraph has nothing to do with language choice.

The paragraph quoted is about the language choice, too, just that part was snipped off because it's long. It's one ball of a paragraph that goes in all directions, citing debian and gentoo's troubles with rust support[1] and calling them leeches for wanting to support obscure architectures. Not a fun read.

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.

Does "bottom" mean what I think it means?

A appreciate you 'describing' the emoji for me. I'm on the spectrum, and I can't tell 99% of these things apart. Looks like a sad face to me. no different then the 500 other sad face emoji's I find. I'll stick with =(

There should be a quick-reference lexicon for these things

It doesn't read that way to me. Maybe it's an emoji-font difference (I'm on Mac).

[EDIT] I mean I see it once someone points it out, but that'd have been lucky to make my top-5 guesses otherwise.
