“ has no pronounceable name in English or any other speakable human language.” I’m in love with this because it’s so silly. I’ve always wondered what would happen if you gave a company an unpronounceable name and it took off. My guess is that the community would name it and that would be that. But I’m fascinated to witness that process happen. I really hope Sado takes off. ;)
Does HN no longer strip emoji characters, or is it just a bug that allows this specific character to slip through?

This is dangerous information to spread. Censor yourself, or it will be abused and we will lose this easter egg forevermore. Let's keep it a secret between you, I and dang's emoji stripping code.
🆔 this type of thing works too

I mean clearly this is all quite tongue in cheek but: > It's also debatable if the entire concept of privilege separation as implemented in Linux and UNIX was a bad idea to begin with but we're stuck with it because of an endless ball of legacy programs controlled by egotistical open source people that refuse to change […] Not a very charitable way to describe volunteers who don’t want to learn the flavor-of-the-mont…

Doesn't it? https://unicode.org/emoji/charts-11.0/full-emoji-list.html#1...
The first time I saw perfectly valid Unicode take down an RSS reader (in ~2003), it was an ü that did it. I have taken to calling that the kaboomlaut in unit tests.
The are quite a lot of "gotchas" with passwords being Unicode though. One of my favourite tricks is to include a null byte in passwords and see what happens. Sudo treats it as the end of the string. Passwd gives "token manipulation error" and nopes out. Many websites seem to fail in interesting ways...
