@Shog9: I've written up an answer to the issue I mentioned a couple of days ago:

0

A: Reputation data vs. Reputation chart mismatch in daily > 200 rep

The problem can be isolated to the following dates: March 28 & 29, 2015. Your reputation graph shows: This shows reputation gain of +210 for March 28, 2015 +110 for March 29, 2015 However, your reputation history shows: -- 2015-03-28 = 21695 2 235611 (10) 2 235611 ...

Please review the comment I made about the timelines not matching up between the three different views (graph, recalc, timeline).

Somewhere there's a day being skipped, which I don't understand.

And finally, the discrepancy between the recalc and the graph should be fixed. I would think that the recalc provides a count that is used for the Legendary badge, while the graph is the think that most people look at...

But now so few questions gets reopened.

The quality of the askers are dropping.

It's probably really low now.

in my experience the questions that could be salvageable all effectively require the asker to do the salvaging, and most askers either never come back, or what they wanted to ask really was an off-topic poll/discussion/do-my-work-for-me/etc so not much can be done

But I’m sure that is not what they mean.

The colored emoji were rather controversial. Took up a lot of time and stress on the Unicore mailing list.

It was actually 3 days ago.

Makes sense.

They've modified it since then; even the beard is yellow.

Where are the ginger emoji?

I may have to change my answer.

@rene thank you

@AstroCB For me too.

But not yeller!

Are you Asian, @Astro? :)

@tchrist No

I can see operating systems having default Fitzpatrick modifiers.

Okay, my answer was wrong. Damn it.

rene

so we need 8 bytes in the future for a single character? 4 bytes for the codepoint and 4 bytes for the Alpha, Red, Blue and Green channel?

tchrist

2:44 PM

This is . . . complicated.

The Fitzpatrick emoji modifiers are combining characters in the astral planes.

So the Black Santa grapheme requires a base santa emoji plus a fitz modifier, so two code points.

@pizza No, but my perception will be.

Q: Two minor flaws of the election page

Such an easy thing for a dev to fix for the +50 bounty and a variable number of upvotes depending on the wittiness of the answer.

@rene Graphemes are already unlimited in the number of code points it takes to represent them. However, in some circumstances practical limits may be reasonable, such as in security contexts. I believe up to 32 modifiers is an oft-cited number.

rene

Oh my...

We, in the software industry, are good at making complex things more complex...

There are also a handful of languages where combining characters are mandatory

which is how you get this:

Arabic is similar but less insane; if you play around with typing in Arabic you'll see it's normal to press 2-3 keys to incrementally build up "a single character", ie by adding dots above/below it, plus each character's shape depends on what characters are adjacent to it

so 8 bytes for a "grapheme cluster" is nothing new =)

Do I need to report cloudfare connection issues from my location?

Ixrec

if you really want to hurt yourself, read about the rules for mixing right-to-left languages and left-to-right languages, and what happens when you need to line break in the middle of the nested backwards(?) snippet of text

Uh, I'm not sure if I'm that type of person...
