  • emoj.li - Emojli, our emoji-only messenger, has launched! Today at Electromagnetic Field, the UK hacker camp, Matt Gray and I gave a talk about how it was made, why it was made, and why we never want to build anything like it again.

      Sadly, almost all news sources are this. Journalist have been replaced by social media experts. Press releases are often printed verbatim with no fact checking or even proofreading.

Sort of like my brother's old stories of D&D GM'ing with a bunch of mates who were really, really bad at D&D and totally disinterested in playing the game properly...

    For any Americans watching, Wolfram Alpha says that in 2014, 35 GBP (Great British Pounds) was roughly $60.
    I probably would have the same reaction he did if it was thirty-five *_dollars_*. But paying $60 for a joke? That takes some dedication.

      Dami Nooki It's roughly $48 right now, but not then. In 2014, the average was $1.65 per British pound, with the minimum at $1.55 at the end of December and a maximum of $1.72 at the beginning of July.
      So 35 GBP would have been between $54.31 and $60.07, with an average of $57.66.

    I think that goes not only for apps, but any type of software. Just because you have the technical skills to do something (sometimes not even that) and you think it would be cool, doesn't mean you have the skills to go through with it all the way to the end. Building software for the public involves a lot of legal aspects (like all that data security stuff) as well as social ones (troubleshooting, moderating, meetings with stakeholders etc.) that most developers just don't like to do.

    So, did you try to sell it? If so many people thought this was a great idea that they were willing to invest, it sounds like you might have been able to sell it. As long as you let everyone know and gave them a chance to delete their account, there would be no ethical problems. (I'd understand if no one was willing to pay you enough, though--since you say people weren't using it.)
    Also, BTW, what was that thing you used to help you handle emoji in PHP/MySQL? I couldn't make it out.

  • @Liggliluff
    @Liggliluff 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The "no under 18" sign: 🔞, is technically wrong, if you follow the traffic rules used in Europe and other places in the world. That is a prohibition sign. A round sign with a red border, with an optional diagonal red line. There are two types of prohibition signs:
    - Showing a thing or action you can't do: 🚭🚯🚳🚷📵
    Past this sign, you simply can't do that, like: smoking, littering, using a bicycle, access for pedestrians, using a phone.
    - Showing a number, or a number related to a thing.
    Past this sign, you can only be up to that number and not exceed it. The common is just a number, meaning maximum speed. A number plus a unit of weight, meaning maximum weight. A number and for example the length of a vehicle, meaning maximum length.
    So this sign: 🔞, it either means a maximum speed of 18, in whatever unit the country is using. ...or, since it's about age, maximum age allowed.
    There's a second sign that tells you what you _have_ to do past it. It's a blue round sign with a white border and white symbol. If these where blue and white instead: 🚭🚯🚳🚷📵, then that would mean: smoking mandatory; littering mandatory; path only meant for bikes; path only meant for pedestrians; phone usage mandatory. If there's a number, then that means you need to be at least that number. So just a number is usually about speed, so that's the minimum speed. Number plus unit of weight is minimum weight, and so on. So a minimum of 18 years of age is a blue round sign, white borders, white text that says "18 years".

    The difficulties of conversing in emoji with strangers are fascinating to me. I play Magic: The Gathering which is a game with a fairly well designed rule structure , this means it can be played perfectly well without any common language right up to the point where there is any disagreement at which point it is far too complicated to resolve.

    Another problem with unicode emojis is that different fonts and systems have different pictures. A pistol can face left on one phone, and right on another. This can completely change the meaning of whatever you're trying to say involving a gun.
