Seconding Red Notice, great book!

This sounds like a fascinating unexplored area. Are there any English texts (books/journals/theses) exploring this? I’d love to look into what limited analysis of this large reserve of literature does exist in English.

A lot of the comments here on official and fan translation are rather uninformed. As an active scanlator I will try and clear them up. With regards to translation quality, there is considerable variability with officials almost always comin

I'm glad to see this service making it off the ground. With the rising popularity of manga globally there's a lot of room for innovation in this space, especially transcending the sometimes myopic focus of more traditional publish

The fascinating thing about using TiddlyWiki for me has been the way it turns my notes from a bunch of monolithic and siloed documents into something more akin to a personal search engine, letting me see how my past self has explained conce

Having found myself doing some proofreading work, I rolled up a few regexes to locate common errors which sped up my workflow and increased my accuracy considerably.

I’m reminded of this fascinating piece, which discusses the approaches taken by a woman attempting to teach language to a deaf man who, at 23, had lived his entire life languageless. https://neuroanthropology.net/2010/0

Exactly my experience as a student. Picked up EndNote, hated the interface and dropped it hard. I did need something to manage my references so I ended up on Zotero which is incredibly easy to use and just works. I use it to manage personal

If you don’t want to wait, Marquez said that he thought Rabassa’s translation was better than the original!

That would have to be One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. What a profoundly human book. The kind of book that is very difficult to describe in any meaningful way, but which I unreservedly recommend to anybody.

The one that has always frustrated me is “valid,” which has mutated from a word to acknowledge something’s objective recognition under a well-recognised schema to one that simply signals that it matches the speaker’s viewpoint. Not that I h

We can treat it consistently, it just takes a full book-length style guide to do so. Exceptions of exceptions are a frustrating form of consistency, but they are consistent nevertheless.

The situation’s not all that much better on Windows, given that I put up with Logitech’s shitty software crashing every time I unplugged a USB device for some months. Eventually just put the mouse into onboard profile mode, assigned all the

Good to see origami on the front page. For those who are interested in the field - whether as art, for the fun of folding or the various potential practical applications - the best book on the subject by far is Robert Lang’s Origami Design

Sadly not, although it’s doing as well as could be expected given the reduced interest in torrents that streaming has brought. There will always be certain things like rare scene rips that are unlikely to ever be resurrected.

Agreed, Apple lost me (prior Air user) as a customer to the Surface, just because the value proposition of a touchscreen tablet computer - that’s actually a real computer - was so compelling.

Sure, but then why not just roll it into the IRS’ own web portal instead of letting every service roll their own and potentially screw with it (like Intuit did when it prevented Google from indexing its Free File tier)? The result is far mo

As a fellow medical student this looks very useful, thanks. If you want an idea for a future project, I conceived a little while ago of a browser extension enabling hover-over drug info pop-ups in the same vein as YomiChan (a tool providing

In addition to the commenters noting that Amazon/Apple Music offer lossless, Spotify is also planning to bring out Spotify HiFi soonish. Audio quality is finally catching up…

Japan and Japanese media is actually a very interesting example, because even pre-internet there were people xeroxing translated manga scripts and trading fansub tapes samizdat-style to spread Japanese popular culture to the US. Of course,

For a novel touching on this subject matter see Neal Stephenson’s “The Diamond Age.”

I’m reminded of a joke, which I’m often reminded of when I think about this (excellent) point. Two revolutionaries, one young and bright-eyed and the other old and grizzled, are sitting together. The older asks the younger what he fights fo

To paraphrase Rand, the smallest and most vulnerable minority, and the one most deserving of protection, is the individual.

Metabolism (the architectural movement that underpinned the Capsule Tower) fascinates me because of its grand scope, one that sought to build an entire society that would suit the needs of the modern person. A building like the Capsule Towe
