Have you tried swipe-based input methods? Given a bit of time to learn your style they are much higher WPM and less error-prone than trying to press non-tactile keys on a screen.

I finished the whole tree in French and had nothing to show for it either. It really is a fun way to feel like you're learning, without connecting you to the language or culture in any significant way.

It has the most harmonics.

Seems similar to Perl, where there are about 20 ways to do any given thing, and 15 of those are deprecated or not recommended by the community.

I use tabnine, it let's you switch models.

You're right, thanks for the correction.

The "selfishness"/"disrespect" is literally just politeness, the person writing it is often not genuinely thinking this, and the people reading it also know it's bullshit. Journalists should stop directly trans

Yeah, that's why these agencies exist. Use them and you can literally stop showing up to work and still get all your required documents, with no hassle.

My gf used one. She had a legal right to quit but it was inconvenient for the company. They refused multiple times, they also gaslit with "what about the children we teach, if you leave the school might have to close" etc. etc. Us

IIRC there is only a single Windows 3.1 dialog box in Windows 11 (ODBC Microsoft Access Setup -> Select Resource file chooser). Lucky you.

I agree most people will conflate them, but someone who's allergic to peanuts but not tree nuts (or vice versa), i.e. the people the labels are intended for, are going to care about the difference.

I wanted a nixie clock and there are three options: 1) Build yourself, using second-hand tubes (typically 'new old stock' which means Soviet-era but unused) and your own PCB or a kit. Lots of these kits online, but be warned it in

Which would be doubly silly as peanuts aren't actually nuts.

Yeah I agree with that! 100% test coverage seems impossible when every part of the regex is basically an if condition.

Temu is like the most downloaded app on Google play, fair to say most users aren't buying electronic components. They're buying clothes, cutlery and cookware.

Global vs local variables.

Writing regexes by hand is hard so there will always be some level of testing involved. But reading a regex and verifying it works is easier than writing one from scratch.

I was paid to write it, but still find it useful for short scripts and one liners. I'd use it over sed, awk or shell without pause. It is very strong for text processing, particularly regexes. Finally learning any language helps you le

For example on an android phone, set language to Japanese and all kanji is in a Japanese font by default. For more niche uses you can usually set the font or language on a per app basis. Every Japanese phone is using Unicode already, as is

That first board is just a list of departure times by hour, with express trains highlighted. For weekdays and weekends. Not exactly a huge amount of information. I'm more impressed by their maps of where each station exit leads to, or

It has the same whimsy and DWIM of perl, look at Promise having a status of 'kept' or 'broken' which is more fun than 'fulfilled' or 'rejected'. Brings to mind Perl 5's use of bless, calling the

Same as Perl, nobody wants to maintain it, but it's extremely fun to write. It has a lot of expression. You can see that in Raku's ability to define keyword arguments with a shorthand (e.g. :global(:$g)' as well as assuming a

Extremely addictive and chunky if you like deduction puzzles, and scaled perfectly so it doesn't become overwhelming. Only problem is it's over so quickly.

Almost every family in Japan has an expensive rice cooker. They eat rice 2-3 times a day so I trust them. The end result is a lot better, and water is too important to be eyeballed.

Those sponges can be seen at every Japanese supermarket, to assist in opening tear-off plastic bags, because licking one's fingers is taboo. In a similar way, birthday cards need to be closed with tape rather than licked.

There's also https://departureboards.mobi/departures/BTH which mimics the departure boards used in some stations.

It's scarily similar to Japanese in a lot of ways. Both are agglutinative languages.

Yes, he created an absolutely terribly designed language that we're still dealing with today. That is not a good thing.
