   It's Zelda tradition :) I used to love "Zelda" when I was a kid, and I would always run around the sunny home island in Wind Waker on the Gamecube. When I went to play "Zelda" at my cousin's house, it was Major

   My Japanese friend said "My 生き甲斐 is travel". She was unfamiliar with the Venn diagram, for her she would directly translate it as "passion". Turns out the Venn diagram relation is from a random 2014 blog post. He just fo

    There's a lot of emotional weight behind every PR I do on Github. They're generally the result of dozens of hours of work, discussion with project developers, etc. After all that, it could still be rejected, or need to be reworked

    Japanese is my favourite written language, I love English but I'm definitely jealous of the beautiful glyphs and the vertical writing. From what I've seen, vertical writing is often poorly supported in software though, which is a

    Niche, but the book Property-Based Testing with PropEr, Erlang, and Elixir [1] taught me a lot. It might be the only dead-tree book on PBT. If you don't know what it is, here's a short video on it [2], it's basically a tool

    I do the opposite, it feels like everything I do is not important, and I have to find something more important to do (and I end up doing nothing). This applies to programming, cleaning, visiting with family, scrolling online. It doesn'

    Interesting, I've never seen a big Github project with only a `README.md` before. It looks like they moved the open source part to a new branch[1], before halting the open development completely (I don't mind, just observing). 1.
