A comment with many emojis breaks the iOS App [blank screen &amp; Request Failed] when viewed.  I'll attempt to recreate the scenario in this question.  Done. This question can no longer be viewed from the iOS app.     In the comments below, a user posts 2 comments with emojis:   The first emoji comment includes spacing that avoids certain breaking of specific emojis. This case does not break the app.  The second emoji comment does not include these spaces, and results in unusual behavior, while breaking the iOS app:     The difference is likely the key to figuring out the bug.
When trying to view  via the iOS app, I get this:        It's consistent, retrying does not help and the request always fail.  All other questions load just fine, so I highly suspect the cause is the Emoji icons used in there, especially in the comments that contain lots of them.  Beta channel, version 1.0.1.85  Update: still happening in 1.0.1.88 and I also found that the "preview" seen for example in tag search shows the Emoji just fine:
no border around hyperlinks with hyperref Reverting back to Unity (Unity 7) Can't log in using Firefox in Stack Overflow Here's what is happening; everytime I go to Stack Overflow (stackoverflow.com, NOT meta) with Firefox, it gives me the "Welcome back" tab that pops up from the top. Whenever I click in the "click here to refresh the page" link, all it does is refresh the page without logging me back in.  Even if I try to log in using the "log in" button at the top, all it does is pop up the tab that says "Welcome name here, you're being redirected." The problem is I'm not being logged in, not to mention that it keeps refreshing the page over and over again without giving me a choice to log in with Facebook.  For some reason, I was capable of logging in to Meta Stack Overflow using Firefox. I am still unable to log in to Stack Overflow. Any ideas? How do I get the path of the directory in which a  script is located, inside that script? I want to use a Bash script as a launcher for another application. I want to change the working directory to the one where the Bash script is located, so I can operate on the files in that directory, like so: $ ./application Novel about a dragon lord who has to wear gloves at all times Using equations to draw out complex objects How do people come up with equations of curves to draw out complex objects?  Some popular examples would include:  &amp;  .  This  explains the rationale for the batman curve nicely.  But other than trial and error, I can't see a reasonable way of drawing the much more complicated PSY curve. I have a DEM layer from ASTER satellite and I want to get the slope information from it.  I use terrain analysis > slope, but the output is so wrong. Why is that?  Here is the DEM:     And here is the "Slope" that is totally wrong. It should stretch the values from 0 - 89.9097 but it does not. There have been a number of cases where I would like to thank someone for providing me with a thorough response and give them feedback beyond the vote up. Often I wish people would tell me why they voted me up. Not that the thank you part is necessary but it sets it apart from the other comments related to answering the question itself.  In this type of situation is a "Thank you" acceptable in a comment?     For more information, see  in the . How slow are .NET exceptions? I don't want a discussion about when to and not to throw exceptions. I wish to resolve a simple issue. 99% of the time the argument for not throwing exceptions revolves around them being slow while the other side claims (with benchmark test) that the speed is not the issue. I've read numerous blogs, articles, and posts pertaining one side or the other. So which is it?  Some links from the answers: , , . Non-hidden directory doesn't show in Explorer, but the program that made it can access it Mboxcox, interpreting difficult regressions Mboxcox in Stata suggests transforming my variables using a power of 0.1 for the independent variable, and 0.4 for the dependent variable.  I have run the model, and it fixes problems associated with the assumptions of OLS. But certainly, it complicates matters in terms of interpretations.  Please outline possible interpretations and solutions.  Dependent variable is in millions of dollars, and independent variables are number of years.  and a number of dummies which do not require transformation. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and there's no fglrx! When do you use the "this" keyword? I was curious about how other people use the this keyword. I tend to use it in constructors, but I may also use it throughout the class in other methods. Some examples:  In a constructor:  public Light(Vector v) {     this.dir = new Vector(v); }   Elsewhere  public void SomeMethod() {     Vector vec = new Vector();     double d = (vec * vec) - (this.radius * this.radius); } My father in law is travelling to France, for 4 days, (01/07-04/07). Is there a minimum duration for which the travel insurance needed to apply for a Schengen visa must be valid? In other words, can his travel insurance cover just the duration of the trip, or should it last longer? Current Configuration: I have two SQL Servers, which are connected by the failover mechanism, meaning one is primary and one is secondary. I restarted both services on both servers sequentially. On the secondary server, all the databases are in the &quot;Synchronizing&quot; state. AG replication mode is synchronous. It has been 12hr it's still showing &quot;Synchronizing&quot; state. What I did so far to resolve Drop the database from the secondary server and remove the database from AG group on the primary server and add it back. Any insight on this, I am using SQL Server 2017. Difference between Inheritance and Composition Play WAV file backward Can we simulate the whole universe in computer? Here is an idea: As human kind we discovered many laws, formulas, events, etc. in our surrounding environment.here is a way to discover the unknowns :   Now if we simulate a virtual world with our knowledge in computers we expect it to work, because we guess that we know all of it. If a bug occurs in the simulation or something acts differently from the expected in the real world, that may tell us that there is something new; a thing (law, formula, ...) that we didn't know, which causes that bug or that anomaly.  For examples imagine that we created a virtual simulation for motion dynamics and we didn't add the friction to our simulation. Everything in the simulation will work fine but in a different manner. So if we hadn't discovered friction yet, would it help us to think about if there is something we didn't add? Or if there is something we don't know?       But can we simulate the whole universe, everything we know, in one simulation? I know it will require a deadly high computational power. Something like what they did for DNA; two years of computation to analyse their pattern. can we simulate everything we know to create a virtual universe to compare it to our real universe? Counting the occurrences / frequency of array elements Having 'Appendix A' instead of 'A Appendix' I would like to have my appendices labelled 'Appendix A', 'Appendix B', etc. However, when I use appendices in LaTeX (specifically llncs document class, downloadable at ), I instead get ''A Appendix', 'B Appendix' and so on. Is there any way to change that? More specifically, this is my minimal working example: \documentclass[envcountsame]{llncs}  \begin{document} \appendix \section{Appendix: Foo Bar} %I want this to appear as 'Appendix A: Foo Bar' \end{document}
