Arguably that first one is just substituting one Wat for another.

I learned a bunch of these when trying to make an f-string-like library for Lua [1], but `f"{...}" and the walrus ones caught me off-guard. Glad this is nowhere near Wat [2], though. [1]: https://ezhik.jp/f-string.

There's a Gmail account I've lost forever because Google wouldn't let me in even after doing 5 factor authentication (password, phone number, code from SMS, backup email, code from email).

I remember people would always be surprised about how home computer ownership was not that high but smartphones (well, Japanese "garakei") were were ubiquitous. I guess Japan was ahead of the curve once again.

Oh yeah, it's going to be really interesting when the hype dies down and we start seeing the actual good use cases get homed in.

I think calling me delusional for trying to understand the hype might be a bit much. It's not my own life I was describing.

And do what, given that AI-as-marketed optimizes out having relationships with people and enjoying art/cinema/music? Touch grass all by myself?

I feel it. We can debate AI over and over and over but my ultimate problem is not even the tech itself but the "whatever" part. I'm a bit annoyed with LLMs for coding, because I care about the craft. But I understand the prem

YouTube on my phone automatically replaces English audio with machine-generated Japanese audio. YouTube on my desktop computer automatically replaces Japanese audio with machine-generated English audio. It's honestly quite incredible.

I don't know about everyone, but I found the whole PKM/second brain "industry" a bit much, I was never able to stick to complex rules and things like atomic notes. Instead I mostly just write notes with hyperlinks: http

What's XLibre? Are they taking Linux desktop accessibility more seriously?

In my experience, people yearn for coding and modding. Given the tools a whole bunch of people will do domain-specific miracles using macros and other tools. I'm almost convinced that teaching programming is easier than teaching softwa

Being able to use thumbs for anything besides the spacebar would be great. Any keyboard recommendations for beginners?

I've been messing with keybr daily for a while now and have retrained myself to do things more properly but two things about doing everything the "right" way bother me: 1. Too many keys on the right pinky - all punctuation ex

I guess consumer products are a niche to be filled either by the giants or by random people with a dream and a bit of SwiftUI knowledge.

The best incantation I've got to force English Google results is https://www.google.com/search?q=hedgehog&lr=lang_en&hl=en&ud... For Kagi, I've got it set to give me international results, so technical

There's also uBlacklist for blocking domains from search engines, a miracle extension.

Kagi also lets you make custom bangs - I've got Google on !f and !h in addition to !g (sorry Flickr and Haskell users) to deal with typos.

Kagi is so nice. Amazing that it's the first search engine I've seen that lets me do something as obvious as customizing ranking for certain websites. And, of course, the ability to block websites from search results entirely. It

Understandable. I went with GH Pages for my new blog pretty much entirely because that's what my old site already used.

Writing raw HTML is just not fun for some people. Obsidian is a nice middle ground between WYSIWYG and plain text - it doesn't send markup characters into the ether but at the same time does show you something close to the final text i

Obsidian is honestly such a joy to write in - I use it for my blog as well: https://ezhik.jp/ On my end I ended up building an entire custom thing that bastardizes SvelteKit to produce a static website that I then upload to

Reminds me of p5.js - I still fall back to it to do some quick graphics.

Exactly. It helps avoid decision paralysis and bikeshedding. And eventually once those hub notes become well-defined, it would be easier to shift to a more serious system.

Rules 1 and 2 are how you actually organize notes. Instead of thinking about categories or tags, you just have interconnected notes. You use those connections to find the notes you need. Eventually, out of those connections, organic groupin

By the way, here's the whole system for those who go straight to the comments: 1. Get a note-taking app with links and backlinks such as Obsidian. 2. Make sure every note is connected via links and backlinks to at least two
