Henkan miss? That would be the usage I reported at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35026961 but not the one from OP. Fun exercise, I went ahead and asked ChatGPT, here is what it had to say: Prompt: what does ワープロ馬鹿 me

Counterpoint to 1: Until this word, I've never not found slang in Japanese dictionaries. Edit: interestingly enough the most complete I found in Japanese about the word describes it differently: かなり昔のことになるが、ワープロが普及しはじめた当時、ワープロの使い過ぎで正しい

The funny thing is that the word is in none of the Japanese dictionaries on weblio. Only Japanese-English ones.

That the term is probably more than 30 years old, and probably unheard of nowadays. Googling for it, in fact, yields more stuff in English than in Japanese.

Japanese wikipedia lists 7 different hypothetized origins, none of them having real decisive evidence.

I mean I don't think ワープロ is used to designate word processor programs. ワープロソフト (literally word processor software) might, but not ワープロ. The expression ワープロ馬鹿 has probably never been used in the context of software. Nowadays, the pheno

When you read word-processor, you probably think Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer, not Xerox 6016 Memorywriter (thanks wikipedia) or any other type of electronic typewriter. Maybe it's a generational thing, but the only use of ワープロ I

It was so common that "something cd key" was a common search term. And people would put that in the wrong input box/window such that they would end up typing that in chat rooms. In some of those, people would reply with the s

And by the time you know what they are, by definition, they're not UFOs anymore.

Is that really true though? You can easily do more reps overall by spreading across the entire day, and you're even adding time for recovery. My anecdata of 1 is that it doesn't make much difference.

For the record, that was for Gedo Senki (Tales from Earthsea).

You can add Safari to the mix: Dave Hyatt (ex-Netscape/Mozilla) was part of the team at Apple that created Safari.

だいにんき(大人気) and おとなげ(大人気) can be fun too. The latter usually is followed by ない, which wouldn't usually happen with the former, but the usual way I'm hit with these is in sentences where the word is at the end of the line (or better

There also enough power production. To give an example, the Tokyo governor invited people to lower their heating devices and wear turtle necks to avoid exceeding the current capacity.

Corollary of my example: when some hacky things rely on cargo to work (like some crate that does magic by using the output of cargo metadata (that actually exists, IIRC, or if not exactly that, something along those lines)), you better hope

Here's one tiny example: Want to link a static library that is also built from rust code? Yeah, you can make that work somehow by spawning another cargo from build.rs. Oh, you wanted to do that in a workspace? Ah no sorry, cargo is goi

More like a not xor, since you typically need to have both in the same position, not in opposite positions.

Google image "drawer in a drawer" will give you some examples. You won't find deep recursive hierarchies, though.

cargo is pretty straightforward for 95% of the cases, inconvenient for 3% of the cases, too limited for 1% of the cases, and extremely frustrating for the remaining cases. I pulled the percentages out of thin air, but this is my experience.

Tangentially, I recently learned that Sega (of games, consoles, Sonic fame), started as a slot/amusement machines selling business for the US military bases in Hawaii and later Japan, and that the name, Sega, is derived from its origin

In Japan, it's interestingly rarely cheaper to buy packs than to buy the same number of individual items.

Recent counter example: if you have python code that uses the "U" open mode (e.g. open(file, "rU")), it doesn't work anymore with 3.11. Yes, it produced a deprecation warning for a few versions, but no, your script
