Good or not, many languages choose not to support emoji, even newer ones.

The reasons are complicated but, many people prefer unicode normalization so that different forms of what appear to be the same word are considered the same word. People argue whether or not this is important but it can certainly be argued that it would be frustrating to get an error like

    let café = 1;
    café += 1;  // error, unknown identifier 'café'

But, choosing a normalization affects emoji as well. Worse, when new ones are added the normalization rules can change.

I sometimes feel like that. All of the side projects I've done in the last 25 years have been mostly for my own enjoyment. I haven't done a single side project for money. I also used to run a blog for enjoyment. I stopped enjoying it, so stopped doing it.

I do sometimes feel like, if I'd spent 25% of the time I spent on these side projects on something that would have made me $$$$$$$$ then maybe I could now spend all my time on anything I want, or live in a nicer place and that sometimes dissuades me from some new side projects.

I think probably the biggest thing that gets me to start something is if I believe (even wrongly) that I can make tons of progress quickly. Usually that means I think I can get to something working in a few hours.

This might sound stupid the fact that the picture of an "arcade cabinet asteroids" happens to be a emu-cabinet with non-asteroid controls and some other game on the screen made me wonder if this is either an AI generated article or an astro-turf article and not by an actual fan.

It's probably not but such is the times we live in that it was what crossed my mind.

I've had the opposite thought. If I had these blinds I'd set them to open around the time to when I want to wake up. The light would tell my body it's time to get up and I'd wake up earlier and possibly more awake. At least that's the hope. Vs now, my blinds are closed for privacy, the room is dark in the morning, dark rooms make me sleep longer.

Or maybe different people's bodies react differently? I've got many decades of life experience. Not once in my life have I ever felt energized from working out.
