Re:Tokyo 2020 TP Card
on Tuesday July 13, 2021 @07:09AM (#27819618)
The TP Card looks to be a variant of the stored-value IC cards like Suica [1][2] used for transit and e-money payments across Japan, but with a fixed commuter pass and no recharge functionality.
The linked thread includes a comparison [3] between the TP Card and a regular Suica.

Just FYI for anyone wondering about the photo, this is actually Google's office in King's Cross. "Campus London" was further east and looked more like a coworking space.

Out of curiosity, is there anywhere I can read about the practice of ending a letter with the recipient's name? I've only ever seen this in letters from 10 Downing Street and the Royal Household.

Yep, I prefer "emoji" given the zero plural in Japanese.
I don't think there's a consensus though. For example, Apple uses "emoji" [1], Emojipedia uses "emojis" [2], and the OED includes both [3].

> I don't think its a good idea to use Emojis in technical documentation, terminal cli apps, package managers (I'm looking at you npm), long form articles, PRs and code reviews, etc.
Completely agree. I also find emoji in commit messages [1] to be far more ambiguous than their text equivalents.
