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 seve…

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

According to the guardian’s report[0], yes. 45dB compared to 100 dB for a heli. [0]: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/28/electric-air...

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…

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 pr…

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 chara…

Thanks for doing this! My website: https://asukawang.com

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 …

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…

His portfolio / blog site is aesthetically my favorite blog of all time out there. https://henry.codes/

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 th…

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 t…

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,…

https://animejs.com/ This is a js animation library so there may be some home advantage but very well made nontheless.

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 do…

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 se…
