I asked for evidence and you accuse me of "turning to emotions". Honestly I don't know what to say. Good luck to you.

I live in Japan and developed an allergy to cedar pollen after I came. I started sublingual immunotherapy (a pill of concentrated pollen you dissolve under your tongue) three years ago and now can make it through the pollen season symptom-f

Instagram makes it extremely frustrating without an account. Many times I have checked a small business's opening times on Google Maps only to arrive and find them closed... the only place they reliably post their times is on Instagram

To visually compare characters you need to map them to glyphs; what is the glyphset and how much of Unicode does it actually cover?

It only seems to work for some subset of CJK characters. I haven't been able to figure out why some work and some don't. For instance 叱 and 明 both seem to fail in the same way: U+1F996 T-REX in the upper left corner and the URL f

I do see a handful of people using non-ASCII identifiers in their code, but that's rare. Much more common is explanatory comments, docstrings, etc. in the local language. To require those to be ASCII would be a non-starter.

This is the modern-day equivalent of asking the genie from the magic lamp for something, and getting something else that meets the letter but not the spirit of the request. The smart thing to do is realize you don't know what you'

I publish an app to the App Store, Google Play, and F-Droid. For years, F-Droid took absolute ages to reflect a new release. People used to criticize the walled gardens for having capricious reviewers and slow review times, but I found F-
