"Sakishi is based on Emacs key bindings. There is a very deep and logical reason for this, but for the purposes of this document, I will just state it as my preference." I genuinely love Emacs people.

#93Japanese 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.
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
Wow, that article makes me appreciate how far we've come in 20 years in terms of font rendering and text layout.

#94"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.

#95Checking out this repo just made me realize that a good way to prevent getting spammed pull requests in your repo is to maintain it in a langauge other than English.

#96So this does not get flagged: https://github-com.translate.goog/mitoma/kashiki2?_x_tr_sl=a... Also, hotkey(s) for a set of predefined isomorphic camera views would seem useful; maybe I am not seeing it? https://github.com/mitoma/kashiki2/blob/main/kashikishi/asse...

I've worked for maybe ten years in the open source space, as a maintainer and contributor. I've seen thousands of pull requests in that time. Some great. Most ok. Some terrible. All made by people who want to contribute in some way for free. I've seen close to zero spam pull requests. Are these common?

Why are there so many "Update Reamde.md" pull requests ? They all are named exactly the same, and most of the time add a single line to the readme with the name of the commit author. I guess some git tutorial somewhere shows how to open a PR with this repo as an example, and people actually do it.

English had beautiful writing, but it was destroyed by technology. First by the printing press, then by typewriters, then by low-resolution computer monitors. All of the human character and calligraphic qualities of the script have been mechanically stripped away in order to better accommodate what are now outdated legacy technologies, but everyone is so used to the status quo that we don't even realize what we've lo…
I would argue the opposite, Japanese is suffering more than English thanks to computers. For instance a lot of the obvious brush stroke is gone such as: うえらおや The upper line is supposed to either look like a droplet of water or like ふ upper part Certain details are gone: にこ no longer has the half arrow you can see exists vertically on the horizontal line. ふ lost a lot of its details. Still I would argue it looks bett…

Translation is difficult at the best of times. I thought it was interesting how Google Translate seemingly kept coming up with different translations for the name of the program. Under “Features”, it suddenly decides the name is “Takigami”, as one example. By the end, it even goes so far as to say: “When you start up the cooking program , the following screen will be displayed.” I asked ChatGPT 4o to translate the RE…
I think I would prefer a slightly worse translator program than one that potentially hallucinates new information onto the page
Why do you assume that google translate is anything other than an LLM in 2024?
