I came here to see if anyone discussed this quote : “The purpose of life is to experience things for which you will later experience nostalgia.”

I can totally relate to it but it might be because I'm in a mid life crisis.

Thanks. Right now it's all static. To go from one page to the other you can click 次and 前 . It would be easy to move the characters within the images using a bit of javascript. That's a plan I have for the future.

If you need inspiration you can take a look at this as well made using REXPaint. https://preview.redd.it/vxfohcwxywt71.png?width=1458&format=...

It's all ASCII art so in theory one should be able to convert it to HTML. I have a project to make a story using REXPaint to HTML in a near future.

If you need more info, feel free to contat me raising an issue on github.

I am creating a fully digital comic in HTML & CSS only. Even the illustrations are CSS generated pixel art. In case someone's interested you can find it here : https://drdru.github.io/twc/twc_save_aryn/02_on_the_way_to_k... .

I'd say my version does not include comparison to others. I actually wish more people try their best to create great things even if what their creations are much better than mine.

My version would be more like :

"Owning a car is very circumstantial. It means you temporarily have some property right on it. It can break, it can be taken away from you. If you create something it's yours forever. Its existence is not independant of your will.".

At the end of their lives some people will have owned ten cars, others will have written ten books.

I can ask you the same question :

How do you ignore friends who write a new book every year?

I have found that instead of wanting things I don't own, wanting to see created things I haven't created yet very liberating.

Since it makes my goals very personal, I can't compare myself on an objective metric with other people and as a result feel less frustrated about not earning more.

Authentication now requires a smartphone or a security key. I have neither...

It reminds me of the day I typed in Google : 'why are women so patronizing?'.

All the results were about men patronizing women. I just checked and it's still the case.

I admit it's not the best but I do almost like you. Graphs are definitely helpful.

I also have a few 'test' queries that insert there results into a 'test_results' table. Most of the queries check the cardinality of the table since to me wrong cardinality is where the biggest errors come from. I do something like :

insert into test_table

select case when count(*) = count(distinct users) then 'pass' else 'fail' end as result, 'test_cardinality_temporary_table_a' as test_name from temporary_table_a

When it comes to ML scalability is a constraint not a goal. The goal is to minimize some loss function and it turns out simple dot product can be outperformed by more complex algorithms.

I remember reading a few years ago that most search engines use some tree based model. If that's the case, that means the idea of monotonic linear weights is not relevant.

All you need to do is scrape the whole internet beforehand.

This one is short, fun and illustrated with emojis.

The article points to a Twitter account named Two-Word Horror. I clicked on it not expecting much, it's actually quite disturbing.

Here are some examples :

> Riemann counterexamples

> Unicode Corporation

> Google Sex

> procedurally-generated regulations

> denim skin

> peak humanity

We're in 2023 so my question is : what happened to this since then ? It should be mainstream by now.

My site makes heavy use of the emoji font made by Twitter. They used to provide a CDN for it “https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/twemoji.min.js?12.0.0”.

It seems to be down as well. I knew it would happen with the whole Elon Musk stuff but that still makes me very unhappy.

I have noticed every time cancer is mentioned there are a lot of 'fuck cancer' comments. May I know where the expression comes from ?

I am writing one for Japanese (I was not aware of LLPSI when I started) and I use things that are common knowledge to a lot of people like set theory. I have used a few unusual things on the way.

I have recreated the UI of a fashion Ecommerce site such that the user is so familiar with the button labels ('buy', 'add to cart', 'recommended items') that they can easily guess their meanings.

I teach HTML using simple Japanese. I make use of the fact that "<span style="background-color: yellow;"> </span> " uses English words but is not English. That allows me to say things such as 'to change the background colour to yellow you can add this tag' without using English. It's definitely cheating but I have found that cheating is actually good practice when it comes to help people guess the meaning of words in a foreign language .

I am making one for Japanese here : https://drdru.github.io/stories/intro.html . It makes use of emoji and pixel art to illustrate simple stories. The only thing required of the reader is knowledge of Hiragana and Katakana.

It reached the HN frontpage a few years ago and I've kept working on it since then. It now contains close to 100 pages (~500 words) and everything has been proofread by a native speaker.

I actually posted this link because I could not sign in to my mailbox yesterday due to the fact I was using the DDG browser on my tablet but my comment about it got buried.

I tried to log in with the DuckDuckGo browser on my tablet yesterday and could not because it is not in this list.

> I'm struggling to come up with a case where removing SELECT results in parsing ambiguity

It's actually useful to the person reading the code. It clearly defines where a statement starts, what it does and makes reading a query close to reading English. Show a SELECT FROM WHERE query to someone who does not know SQL and the person will understand it. It might be a bit harder if you remove the SELECT.

Every time SQL is mentioned on HN someone comes to complain about FROM coming after SELECT. I use SQL every day and not a single time have I found reason to complain about it. Can you give a bit more detail about what's wrong with it being like it is ?

EDIT : thanks all for your reply. I now understand that it is an IDE related thing not something fundamental to the language.

The competition is tough in the data warehousing industry, if Snowflake is expensive people will know. Current customers may not leave but it's going to be harder for them to get new customers.

For one Facebook owns most of the data. At soe point they tried testing some psychological hypothesis but everyone thought it was unethical. I haven't read this article but if you need a pointer https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/06/every...

Thanks for the feedback. I am aware of the issue you mention. There is not much I can do about it though. On the positive side it's ok most of the time.

You forgot the second part of this disclaimer is : "As the vocabulary and grammar expands it becomes closer to native speech.".

> If its not used by native speakers, why learn it this way?

Starting with small simplified building block and then refining them is pretty much what every textbook of every discipline out there does isn't it?

(Not saying MNN does not do what you claim. I know it is really good but have never used it )

If you like material that teaches Japanese in Japanese you might like this website : https://drdru.github.io/stories/intro.html . It uses emoji to introduce new words, uses them over and over in simple short stories to reinforce them and let you guess the grammar from the context.
