That's beautiful! Thank you. I also reckon there probably won't be a "that day". Just a lot of small things and one day maybe I'll look back and think it's not that bad.

This is my first father's day as a father. It isn't easy, I have been struggling immensely (plug: I wrote about it at https://asukawang.com/blog/leap-of-faith ), but now she's seven months old and it has

It's relatively mild for EU and US, but for JP it's a 20% increase. Finally going to get one after the announcement.

Then it's twice the work. For a mom-and-pop restaurant, putting food on the table (pun intended) probably already cost them 24 hours a day.

On one hand, I totally agree, as I'm all for indie small web. Haven't used Facebook and Instagram for years. On the other hand, it's not (small) business owners deliberately choose to not have a website, it's customers s

Similar thing happened to Diablo II recently as well. Blizzard added a new class and couple of quality of life updates, after not touching it for over two decades other than the pretty authentic resurrected remake. Some of the QoL updates s

No matter how much preparation and training one does, if they haven’t run the marathon, they haven’t run the marathon.

I tried many tricks (pomodoro, meditation, atom habit, you name it) to fight lack of discipline. TLDR: non really worked, to the point that I’ve accepted that it’s part of my character. The one that kind of worked, at least for a while, was

http://classic.battle.net/war3/ still works. Every time I need to check some OG WC3 data for nostalgia or any other reason I use this instead of fandom.

The manuals as well. Loved the WarCraft III and Diablo II ones. They were legitimately part of the game experiences as lore was told there. Now the publishers don’t even bother to include a single sheet.

This is my bottleneck too. I'm all for paying artists, and the hustle of setting up self host doesn't bother me (maybe not for my wife though, who is way less tech-y than me and is in my spotify family plan.) But the benefit of te

No, but unfortunately I'm addicted to dopamine hits and HN is the most "organic" one, compared to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, you get the idea. HN is the one makes me the least depressed.

I have been working in a foreign language environment for more than a decade. Probably still sound like a child from time to time. For some context, my (self observed) fluency of the language is around CEFR C1 level. No issue at all in ever

How about 1000 hours of chess? Or 1000 hours of warhammer? Or D&D? One may say you make social bonds playing them, but that stands true for video game as well. Speaking for myself, I definitely spent more than 1000 hours on summoner&#x2

Never thought about it but banning non personal accounts sounds like a good start. I doubt such social media would gain any meaningful popularity though.

Never figured there was one for Lixil too, seemed quite nice. I recommend a similar one: Toto Museum[1], located at Kitakyusyu, Fukuoka. Been there a couple of times, although I don't recall there were activities such as workshops ment

I also played Elden Ring recently. I wish I could share your dopamine rush because I never had one during the playthrough. Certain bosses caused so much frustration that the net sense of achievement for the game was negative for a decent ma

Cool idea. Unfortunately, the low contrast between text and background makes it very hard to read.

Albeit the effect may very depending on the amount of the fee, I find it hard to imagine fee would stop the bot problem. World of Warcraft requires fee for accessing the most recent expansion, as well as the subscription, but it is swarmed

There seems to be an obvious mistake in the landing page example. The word `ガキ`(kid / brat) is translated as oyster. I guess the AI mistook the katakana `gaki` into hiragana `kaki (かき)`. You may want to take that into consideration.

Because Japanese words aren't simply a string of random characters, like a string of eight English alphabets doesn't suddenly make it meaningful city names such as Reading or Brighton.
