#52"Text editing is still plagued by poor user interfaces:
when you press the "A" key, the letter "A" appears on the screen without any interaction, when you press "Delete" it disappears in an instant,
the cursor disappears to the right edge of the screen, then suddenly appears on the left edge"
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but this is exactly what appeals to me regarding text based interfaces.

#54Japanese is my favourite written language, I love English but I'm definitely jealous of the beautiful glyphs and the vertical writing. From what I've seen, vertical writing is often poorly supported in software though, which is a shame.
Haha can you read Japanese though? It's beautiful for sure and it even feels a little different when reading it as if you're, in a way, sorta sounding about pictures. But man is it a pain in the butt to learn!
Same, kanji is also the hardest for me, I have a much easier time learning new words by sound/hearing. But, I know some people that are the complete opposite & can't learn enough kanji, ymmv
でもやはり高低アクセントはもっと苦しいと思います。あれは無理ですww

Always remember who your target audience is. If it's people who actually use a computer for writing, instead of just looking at cat pictures on the internet, then they probably don't care about fancy transitions and animations. They want to get shit done and they need their workflow to be optimized.
If it's just for normal people, then go wild with all the useless, CPU-wasting frills. Feel proud about it, even. In 2024 a snappy user interface only requires a few GBs of RAM, several intercommunicating processes and the ENTIRE FREAKING WEB STACK.

From the translated page:
"Although Japanese is primarily written vertically, there are not many text editors that fully support vertical writing. However, you can gain deeper insight by reading a text vertically or horizontally, or by flexibly changing the layout and rereading it. With Sakishi, you can instantly switch between vertical and horizontal writing while editing a document."
That was my "aha!" moment when reading this. Japanese has been made to fit Western convention a lot of the time, but it's good to have another option.

The author is probably half-joking in that part of the README. There's a slight hyperbolic tone in the original text that's lost in the translation.

I stopped using GT for larger texts when (having finally achieved some rudimentary literacy in my target language) I noticed it was rather cavalier about inserting or deleting not , changing the sense of sentences completely. Sure, in translation one always has issues of sarcasm or irony, but I felt the tool was probably hallucinating more than being a useful work instrument. Lagniappe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?…
I've been talking to a lot of Chinese people using machine translation recently, and noticed that inserting and removing "not" is very common for all translation tools I've used, from Google Translate to DeepL to ChatGPT. I'm not sure if it's particular to Chinese ←→ English, or if it's a common problem across all languages. A priori, it seems like a pretty huge issue, because it changes a sentence's meaning to its o…
Chinese ←→ English? any chance you might be willing to recommend a better test for: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41696289 ?

#59The trippy parts look like something from Lain (http://0x0.st/XEMi.webm). Which is a cool thing in my books.

I'm partial to Mongolian.. It also has top to bottom but has an Arabic lace like cursive style which makes it flow much better than Japanese. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolian_script
That is quite beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Are you familiar with Japanese grass script? It has quite a different feel than the Mongolian, but it's a type of Japanese cursive that flows really nicely IMHO: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%8D%89%E6%9B%B8%E4%BD%93#/m... which is actually a fairly legible example. Admittedly, the more flowing styles that you see in old poetry and the like effectively require specializ…
It does look nice. The letters still look discrete though which is beautiful in itself but different from what attracts me to cursive style hands like Arabic.
