I am working on Cangjie Workbook. I am trying to create the best in class tool for learning Cangjie. It's a Chinese input method based on decomposing characters into sub parts (not…

I've been working on a web application for learning 倉頡輸法 https://demo.cangjieworkbook.com/ , no login required for the demo version (Cangjie Input method). It's a visual way of dec…

I am fine with people having principles and doing things their way. Not everything has to be a race to be the best. There are still plenty of people that appreciate traditional cra…

houseguessr does not work. I could not select an answer.

If you guys are hiring, I am interested. My email and personal website are in my profile. Thanks!

Probably because it's a work around and not what most people want to do. Imagine someone telling you you have to type English in Cyrillic. I know if I could no longer type out Chin…

My guess would be line height is a challenge and Naskh already exists. Then probably because these scripts are not used often in the places that are centers of software/OS developm…

I would say some of us are welcoming and embracing it. Others are trying to fight the good fight, but it is hard to fight the momentum that is building.

It's very niche, but I have created a course for learning Cangjie 倉頡, which is a Chinese input system based on the visual appearance of characters (not necessarily etymologically c…

What do you find about bringing it into production? Is it the actual language patterns or the tools? I've done Haskell in production for over a decade now so I am not sure what cha…

I don't agree with the repeated mantra that technology is neutral because the creation, maintenance and promotion of technology requires lots of resources and a lot of choices. A l…

Very nice looking game. I added it to my wishlist.

Yes, definitely wouldn't use print because in an async environment that will get garbled. A proper logging library is the way to go.

That sounds really nice. I have a couple of Haskell servers running on VMs, but the build requirements really slow down the process. I have to use dockers to help cache dependencie…

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I've always liked Haskell and OCaml syntax.

That's fine for a library or locally run executable, but I've worked on distributed systems in Haskell and you really need logging in place to track what is going on. Of course, yo…

I like how your comment can be interpreted in two completely opposite manners. Either it is depressing that coding by hand is something curious, worthy of blogging about, or you ar…

Do you have any more notes/lectures/references that you can share? I would like to try something similar.

Thanks for taking the time to look. My biggest focus right now is own Numerikos. I hope I can make a better math learning platform. Math games are fun too. There are some nice idea…

Nice work on letterpaths. I really enjoyed moving the snake around and the sand sounds. It had me hypnotized for a few minutes.
