      On encodings: Americans: "I don't want to know"; Japanese: "How can you not know?!"; Europeans: "Unicode solves everything"

      It certainly is bringing all the issues to the fore (of the american programmer consciousness).

      I really like Ruby's solution to the problem (I worked on Rails encodings around this tweet)

          I think emojis will not cause American programmers to care any more ;) Nor do I think emoji idents are a good feature;)

          the TLDR is that strings have a tagged encoding. Binary is an encoding. Incompatible encodings produce errors.pic.twitter.com/A5V4Ghm4UC

          the default encoding is picked up from the locale, but Rails sets it to UTF-8, which impacts File IO.

          All operations allow you to optionally specify an encoding.

          The legacy C string APIs create BINARY strings, but the new APIs have an encoding parameter.

          there is a configuration called "default internal encoding", which Rails sets to UTF-8. Libraries trancode to that 1/
