Бян-бян и его друзья

telegra.ph/Byan-byan-i-ego-druzya-11-08

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.

Don't Publish and Pray | <(^.^)> tsuki

tsk.bearblog.dev/dont-publish-and-pray

Don't publish a blog post, without any marketing, and expect people to magically discover it.

It doesn't work like that. I'm sorry.

At the very least, you can promote your blog to social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter or Hacker News.

File System Alternatives

wiki.c2.com?FileSystemAlternatives

I am tired of hierarchical FileSystems. They grow into big messes over time (LimitsOfHierarchies). Let's discuss alternatives. Some have suggested using various kinds of databases so that one can query or view based on a wide variety of potentially orthogonal traits.

The C2 Ancients have good ideas.

P. S. Trying to save this page in Betula shows how bad and unfriendly the new “design” of WikiWikiWeb is.
