My god the "Woman in lotus position" emoji is a perfect example of the Apple vs Google vs Microsoft design philosophiesApple: maximum polish and detailGoogle: it's functional. It's a woman in the lotus position. Period.Microsoft: The woman is lacking a lot of detail, and she's not even in the correct pose

@T045T I very much suspect the right amount of detail for an icon depends on the dpi of the screen it's going to be seen in.Considering lots of Windows laptops are still 720p resolution, while every single iPhone has a "retina" display, it doesn't surprise me Apple is pushing a lot more detail into their icons.But still... Microsoft. Come _on_

@Nentuaby somewhere, there's a designer at Google quitting because their boss told them "the emoji should look better... Like the ones Apple does, you know"

@sirikon I was going to say Go until you said "generics". Rust fails the "no magic chars" requirement... I haven't heard of a language that fits all those criteria

@sirikon I definitely get the appeal of a simple programming language. I was a relatively early adopter of Go, and I still love how simple it is to pick up and use.I have ended up using Rust for a bunch of web things, though, and the generics, the expressivity of the language and the pedantic compiler make it even easier to use than Go... once you get past the initial learning curve (which is anything but trivial, unfortunately).

@clackeWhen he doesn't know the proper word in Swedish, our son says Spanish words with Swedish intonation and calls it a day. It's amazing@darius

@federicomena that is pretty much how we're forced to work at my job. And I consider myself lucky if I find some docs in the history.Sadly, sometimes it plays like this:1 – Why the hell do we have this code?2 – View Perforce history3 – File untouched in the last 12 years4 – View single commit that contains that file. Commit description: "Initial source code import"5 – Proceed to table-flip

@xirouxHave you seen the dactyl? A keyboard designed in clojure is the geekiest thing I can think ofhttps://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard

@xirouxYep, I started modifying the dactyl source to fit my hands... Then I realized I don't have nearly enough free time to finish it 😔

@sigridNever said he was. He was just extremely toxic. Everything was shit. Nothing was good unless it was a copy of whatever Plan9 did. The day he left the project I was on was quite the relief, to be honest

You know how in games you get environmental storytelling? Like a "Happy new year 1958" sign in a Bioshock game, so you deduce something bad happened that day?Today in Spain I saw several shops still decorated with Easter bunnies. In July.

@sirThe whole Mozilla VR team has also been fired (a friend of mine worked there), so I guess they won't be adding much stuff on that front at least

@InvaderXan at the office they gave each of us one succulent (different classes, including Aloe Vera and a few others), and they seem rather resilient. We now have several hundred small plants around 😊

@SuricrasiaOnline Hey, this is amazing. Mind if I set up a github repo with all these? Maybe we can start adding more and build a _proper_ icon set for phones
