Среди изучающих китайский мало кто не слыхал про ту самую лапшу бян-бян, в которой biáng записывается через довольно увесистый иероглиф:
В 2020 году его даже добавили в Юникод: 𰻞 (трад.), 𰻝 (упр.).
Многие ошибочно полагают, что его создали не так давно и просто забавы ради, однако не всё так просто. По всему Китаю существует множество похожих иероглифов, и все они имеют историю как минимум в 200 лет.

Nice dashboard hm.

This aesthetic screenshot of an old windows app has been in my inspiration space for ~5 years. Until recently, I assumed that it was just a nostalgia bait concept.
The calm, serene life associated with gardening pairs suspiciously well with rose-tinted wistfulness for a simpler time in computing. I’m happy to be wrong though, because software doesn’t get more real than PlantStudio.

Yon is a little UI for knowledge designed to be used every day. Add your notes, write your diary, and connect thoughts with bidirectional links. Explore your text through an acme-inspired interface to dive deep or go wide and always find your way back. Yon code and your notes are contained in a single standalone html file with no dependency, so that you can open the lid and tweak any part of it and make it your own.

We get together a community of enthusiasts,
helping young and emerging projects find their way
in open source.

A competition. Jury judge the codebase.

All these retrogrades usually forget about Unicode updates! If your finished software does not support the newest writing system, then something is wrong. Well, I'm just saying. Actually, I like finished software! One day, I'll write one.

Schroeder finds out he doesn't need Sitelen Mute, his custom gallery static site generator, anymore, since his wiki can host images just fine. It just shows how universal wikis are again!

The author's phone lost cellular connection so he wasn't always available anymore. The article lists his worries about that.

Very rarely I get an opportunity (it's an opportunity now) to be offline. It's always fun.

Used it to map my and B.'s Minecraft metro system.

From a discussion of how the newest version of the first wiki sucks. The version does suck, by the way.

I am blind. I do rely on accessibility to interact with a computer. Yes, you could accuse me of deliberately avoiding the modern web, but I have my reasons. Primary reason is performance. Even though I feel like you are talking down to me from a pretty high horse, I still don't wish for you to ever experience how sluggish it feels trying to use the "modern web" with a screen reader on something like Windows. Don't even make me start about the hellhole that is Linux GUI accessibility. It was a nice ride once, before GNOME 3 and the elimination of CORBA killed most of the good work done by good people. Fact is, I am too used to a system which reacts promptly when I press a key to be able to switch to a modern browser by default. That would kill all my productivity. Yes, its a trade, but for now, having no JS engine by default is still way better then the alternatives.

Have a nice day, and enjoy your eye-sight.
