Fun fact : ma compagne mon bébé de 9 mois et moi avons été stoppé par les gendarmes avant de rejoindre la manif contre les #GigaBassines de Bouzel. Ils nous ont obligé à dérouler les banderoles pour la Palestine que nous transportions. Ils les ont pris en photo et ont voulu me les prendre en me disant que je pourrai les récupérer plus tard à la gendarmerie de Pont-du-Château.
J'ai refusé et j'ai demandé un motif légal. Ils ont bafouillé, on appelé au talkie et nous ont laissé passer.

so, you've seen ™ and ™️ before. but like. why are there two. well, i have an explanation! the answer is: FE0F

first, unicode. unicode is a standard definition of a bunch of codepoints, where a codepoint is just a number with meaning. for example, unicode codepoint U+263A refers to ☺︎, or "White Smiling Face", and U+1F431 refers to 🐱, or "Cat Face"

so, lets start by looking at the codepoints for ™. decoding it, it becomes the codepoint U+2122, referred to as "Trade Mark Sign". this was added in unicode 1.1 in 1993, a decent time ago!

next, the codepoints for ™️. decoding it, we get two codepoints! U+2122 (™︎) and U+FE0F. wait. who is FE0F. why is he in my emoji

well, unicode isn't as simple as a series of codepoints that refer to single characters. take a look at é̗ for example. this is three codepoints, U+0065 (Latin Small Letter E), U+0301 (Combining Acute Accent), and U+0317 (Combining Acute Accent Below). the first codepoint is simple enough, it's just e. the next two, however, are combining codepoints. this means that they combine with the codepoint before them to modify it. U+0301 adds an acute accent above the previous codepoint, and U+0317 adds an acute accent below the previous codepoint. this example specifically isn't very useful (i don't know any language with a é̗ character beyond conlangs), but it becomes very useful for languages that use a lot of diacritics. imagine if we had to make a new set of characters for each set of possible diacritics! big waste of space, we shouldn't have done that!

so, what is U+FE0F? well, it's a special codepoint called "Variation Selector-16". variation selectors are a reserved block of 16 unicode codepoints. only some have been defined, but among those currently in use are U+FE0E (VS15) and U+FE0F (VS16). from wikipedia: "VS15 and VS16 are reserved to request that a character should be displayed as text or as an emoji respectively." so, what's happening with ™️ is that it's combining a U+2122 (™) and a U+FE0F (Variant Selector-16) to create an emoji version of ™. they're the same character, just that one has been instructed to become an emoji!

also, for the interested, here's the word "unicode" with a shit ton of combining characters: ù́̂̃̄̅̆̇̈̉n̖̗̘̙̐̑̒̓̔̕i̡̢̧̨̠̣̤̥̦̩c̴̵̶̷̸̰̱̲̳̹ò͇͈͉́͂̓̈́͆ͅd͓͔͕͖͙͐͑͒͗͘eͣͤͥͦͧͨͩ͢͠͡. what appears to be seven letters is actually 77 codepoints, taking up 147 bytes when encoded in utf-8. or 156 in utf-16. or 312 in utf-32. why does anyone use utf-16 if it's longer? historical reasons :3

TL;DR: ™️ is ™︎ but instructed to be an emoji

Memory errors in consumer devices such as PCs and phones are not something you hear much about, yet they are probably one of the most common ways these machines fail.

I'll use this thread to explain how this happens, how it affects you and what you can do about it. But I'll also talk about how the industry failed to address it and how we must force them to, for the sake of sustainability. 🧵 1/17

Stack Overflow announced that they are partnering with OpenAI, so I tried to delete my highest-rated answers.

Stack Overflow does not let you delete questions that have accepted answers and many upvotes because it would remove knowledge from the community.

So instead I changed my highest-rated answers to a protest message.

Within an hour mods had changed the questions back and suspended my account for 7 days.

Diff view of a stack overflow question showing it being changed from the original text to a protest message, then being changed back again by a mod. Protest text reads: Why does OpenAI get to profit from our work? I have removed this question in protest of Stack Overflow's decision to partner with OpenAI. This move steals the labour of everyone who contributed to Stack Overflow with no way to opt-out. OpenAI has a history of flooding the web with inaccurate information and have explicitly stated that they will never pay creators for their work.

Today I'm releasing two projects I've been incredibly excited about lately:

• https://darwintypeface.com/
• https://clowderproject.com/
  The first is a free and open-source typeface project for math.

The second is essentially a Stacks Project for category theory.

Depuis quelques années, le monde du jeu de société milite pour faire reconnaître le jeu de société comme une oeuvre culturelle. En premier lieu, La Société des Auteurs de Jeux et l'Union des Éditeurs de Jeux de société.

Selon moi, le jeu de société n'est pas une oeuvre culturelle.
Il pourrait l'être, mais il ne l'est pas.

Quand une troupe d'artistes du spectacle vivant se produit en festival, elle est rémunérée pour cela. Et de nombreux artistes du spectacle vivant vivent de leur métier.

Quand une chanteuse se produit en festival, elle est rémunérée pour cela. Et de nombreux chanteurs en vivent.

It's a bit weird but I feel extremly honored: @gutenberg_TeX has published a translation of my #expl3/#latex3 tutorial to french. https://doi.org/10.60028/lettre.vi52.153

Thanks a lot to Patrick Bideault for translating. I was asked to check it, which is quite hard as I don't speak a full sentence of french I guess … but I was told he did great work there!
