Not to critique on the article, but as a general suggestion, it would be great if people don't use emojis as a scale. Unless it shows a specific character like number emojis, they are sometimes read differently by people from different language backgrounds. So what the author might be trying to say might lead to misunderstandings.
But ai loves them, so we will be stuck with them for a few years at least. > they are sometimes read differently by people from different language backgrounds I'm really curious of some examples you have actually how an image is influenced by language ?
There's decent empirical evidence to show that peoples' language influences their perception of colour:

Similar effects for perception of time.
It's very plausible that emojis are perceived differently too, although I'm not aware of any studies on it at the moment.
Naturally it's quite hard to talk about, because people don't necessarily have the words to describe the differences between what they experience, or are even aware of a difference in the first place.
Mildly related: my favorite tool for viewing .git diffs diff2html - a CLI that with one command opens the diff in your browser https://diff2html.xyz/ -- https://github.com/rtfpessoa/diff2html
Mine is meld. (One my phone now, so cannot compare which one seems superior)

No really, if you haven't tried it, it's better than you think it is.

(I know, already mentioned later in comments by leeoniya, still deserves a top level comment!)
The creator of the Myers algorithm is Gene Myers. He also helped create the BLAST algorithm, one of the fastest and most important DNA and protein search algorithms, and also implemented most of the original human genome assembly done by Celera. he also helped invent and publish the suffix array.
Out of curiosity, are there any algorithms faster than BLAST? (For DNA search).
When I left the field, the latest hottest thing was diamond (https://github.com/bbuchfink/diamond).
There are at least 3 fundamentally different kinds of diff: * Single-dimensional. Diffs of text lines are just this. * Multi-dimensional. Diffs of words or characters are usually going to be this since lines still matter, but there are multiple approaches (line-first? weighted tokens?). * Tree-based. Unfortunately, these are woefully scarce and poorly documented. For text diffs, it's nontrivial to get the "missing ne…
MDN talks about when a specific element is appropriate, but it doesn’t really help you discover those elements that might be relevant.
My favorite differ in more than trivial cases is "vimdiff". Just hit a case where I wished I had "git vimdiff".
