@Unihedro we ask Inf to clean up and send @tchrist to the sandbox
!!tell tchrist sandbox
@tchrist please go play in the sandbox
In any event, I think I have demonstrated that a single grapheme can take up a lot of code points.
Yes, I'm convinced now, tnx
Answer updated to mention the new emoji modifiers.
1
A: Multi-colour unicode vs Monochrome ASCII

tchristA code point is not inherently colored or monochrome. Code points are just numbers. Character number U+0041 and character number U+1F31E are exactly the same color: they do not have one. Like everything except our eyes, a compiler reads characters by number. So it will not matter to the compile...

I still don’t understand why the asker is worried about compilers.

Can we cv this to see who voted?
@rene Yes.

in Stack Overflow 2015 Moderator Election Chat on Stack Overflow Chat, 2 mins ago, by Jason C
If anybody's interested, I've generated weekly activity histograms for all the current candidates, up to last Monday (I'll update this Monday after data dump). It includes reviews, but excludes votes and flags. No graphs, just data right now.
Reminds me, I'll push out the kewlnew md now.
It's a little bit of a bummer with no votes or flags; but I made some plots in kst and they look cool. I'll upload full set of plots as soon as I figure out how to automate it.
Meh… I'll make the new md kewler!
And I should probably post it on CR.

@Ixrec You forgot TextEffectFactoryBuilder.getDefaultTextEffectFactoryBuilderBuilder().build("sma‌​ll").createFactory()...
@JanDvorak That's already <i> and <sup>
@rene Yeah!
@JasonC I assumed he had SmallFactory = TextEffectFactoryBuilder.getDefaultTextEffectFactoryBuilderBuilder().build("sma‌‌​​ll").createFactory() at the top of the file, since no sane person would write that out more than once
what happens when you combine sup and sub? Small text!

Tsk tsk.
@Ixrec Oh you're probably right, sorry. I'm used to talking to total noobs. Apologies.
@bummi bad taste, but not flaggable
@bummi That's an awful answer.
17:48
@AstroCB Hey, it's for the benefit of the user!
@bummi At the very least, it is needlessly rude
old IE is already borked on seeing XHTML :p
flagged abusive, let's see how it goes
@bjb568 Feature detection.
the name itself is rude
17:49
Especially if your error message is going to be this:
@AstroCB I don't need to.
> This site does not support Microsoft Internet Explorer due to its lack of compatibility with web specifications.
@bummi Ignoring the tone, I flagged NAA anyways since it doesn't really make that much sense and should have been a comment, at least imo.
@JasonC [s][/s] then
thanks, all
17:50
@AstroCB Should be "old versions of", right?
@bjb568 I'd go [sm], to me that causes confusion with strikethru, even if strike isn't supported.
Do you already have a strike code?

};
Hooray!
17:52
@bjb568 it seems inconsistent for sup/sub to use () when everything else is []
@AstroCB Yes! yes! yes!
IE 10 is pretty robust.
Hm, the syntax mix is kind of odd, particularly the ?(...)? with [*][/*].
@Ixrec But it's around the content instead of the tag.
@JasonC [^] and [v]?
[sup][/sup] then?
17:54
@Ixrec ewww, bbcode
Might as well drop into HTML then.
just... <sub> and <sup>, it's what commonmark does
I like ^ and v because they are visually indicative of what they do.
17:54
they're easy to be misused
especially in, y'know, regexes
^[^a-z]$
@bjb568 That's true and they're short, but they're also different than what people who know how to format things already are already used to. Intuitive > concise, I think, in this case.
@Unihedro I'm not doing commonmark.
Part of the point of Markdown is that you can drop into HTML when necessary.
Which I don't want to support.
@bjb568 Not saying you have to. Commonmark does it for a decent design reason, which you could at least consider.
17:55
It you're going to just add useless things like [sup][/sup], you're wasting your time.
It feels strange to have to use 2 syntaxes.
@bjb568 Then you're not making Markdown. It's fine to have a different goal, but that's not Markdown's purpose.
@AlexisKing ok then
So maybe think of it like this: Use a subset of common html, for all formatting. Then provide a few shortcuts for the really common ones, like *, **, ---, _, similar to what's done here.
@JasonC Yes, that's how Markdown is supposed to work.
17:57
That way you have an intuitive syntax with some useful shortcuts. But keep the shortcuts minimal. Just like markdown.
Yeah
It's very easy to expand Markdown into HTML, then just run it though a purifier to prevent abuse.
@Unihedro Don't close; downvote if you'd like.
@AlexisKing ok thanks for reviewing
I LIKE
@AlexisKing Oops sorry I ninja'd your edit.
18:00
@JasonC It's okay, yours is more thorough, anyway.
I upvoted that question. It seemed fine to me.
I upvoted it as well, then voted to close as typo, heh.
I leftvoted.
@bjb568 Ugh, people like you are the reason this site is in decline. Obviously rightvoting was appropriate there.
I think it's called upclosing.
I thought that was downopening?
18:05
Nah, it's sideflagging.
Haha, sideflagging
be sure to crosscomment and metaedit while you're at it
Is sideflagging like twerking?
@JasonC it's more like flagging as a passive-aggressive alternative to leaving a non-constructive comment
@Ixrec I prefer metavoting, honestly. Sending droves of people from the Hot Meta Posts traffic to upclose or downopen posts is satisfying.
Unfortunately, the recent election business has severely nerfed the meta effect.
18:08
so much metajokes it's almost blowing my mind
