innocenat··on The ThinkPad TrackPoint tried to build a better mouse (2020)
I am probably a real minority but I feel like my finger skin is peeling off after long session of Apple trackpad.

Meanwhile I could use Lenovo trackpoint all day every day without problem.

innocenat··on Friday night’s near-disaster at JFK airport
Departing 4L mean that there are no 31L full length take-off (except very very heavy aircraft). 31L at KE does not conflict with 4L, nor does it require crossing 4L.

This diagram suggest that it is installed at the intersection in question (J cross 4L)

innocenat··on Japanese beef croquettes are so popular there's a 30-year waitlist
For this product, they only accept cash on delivery payment method. So they aren't getting $6mm up front.
innocenat··on Why “OpenBSD Mastery: Filesystems” Is Not in Amazon’s Kindle Store
Epub sent to your account does have enhanced typesetting on the Scribe.
innocenat··on Why “OpenBSD Mastery: Filesystems” Is Not in Amazon’s Kindle Store
That is what I meant by non trivial.
innocenat··on Why “OpenBSD Mastery: Filesystems” Is Not in Amazon’s Kindle Store
You can drag-drop books in Kindle Format as Kindle doesn't support EPUB natively. But notetaking require conversion to KFX, which is not a trivial format to convert to without sending it via Amazon Server.

(I actually don't know if side-loaded KFX actually support notetaking on the Scribe)

innocenat··on Reverse engineering yet another eBook format
BookWalker generally don't have exclusive rights to their books, so just buy from other place instead.

On books that they do have exclusivity, though, people are doing exactly that, OCR the book and recreate the EPUB.

innocenat··on Hyperpaper Planner: fully interlinked dayplanner for e-ink tablets
These are designed to be written on. Mainly, for e-ink tablet. It's not an app. It's just a PDF file with hyperlinked pages.

There are tons of them on the market especially with the rise in e-ink user (and it will probably accelerate even more with the release of Kindle Scribe)

innocenat··on Atom was archived today
There was node-webkit (nowadays called nw.js) that predate electron by quite some times. I remember know about it precisely because I was playing games that was developed with it.
innocenat··on Surface Pro 9 teardown reveals modular parts, Microsoft’s 2023 repair plans
So should soldered CPU always be judged for repairability too? It's also the same repairability/efficiency tradeoff against using socketed (desktop) CPU instead.
innocenat··on Surface Pro 9 teardown reveals modular parts, Microsoft’s 2023 repair plans
If it's DDR4 or DDR5 that is soldered, sure, I agree that it should be penalised.

But LPDDR4X or LPDDD5? There are legitimate benefit to using low-powered RAM, and these aren't available in DIMM sticks.

innocenat··on Affinity 2
I bought all 3 apps at 50% discount earlier this year. I paid 9,900 yen for it. The new universal license cost 15,800 yen. That's 50% price increase for me. I don't need apps for other platforms.

I can afford it, and I will probably buy it. But I can't help but compared to what I paid not even a year ago.

innocenat··on Intel plans to rival TSMC and Samsung as a chip supplier
Intel 13th gen seems to outsell Ryzen 7000 everywhere so...
innocenat··on Watashiato
Ato using Kanji 跡 can also mean trace, track, mark. Which fits the definition better.
innocenat··on Watashiato
Likely 跡 not 後. The former can mean track mark as in the mark you have left on the society.
innocenat··on OpenRCT2: Open-source implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 with new features
Original RCT1 and 2 are frequently on sale for dirt cheap on GOG. No need to pirate.
innocenat··on OpenRCT2: Open-source implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 with new features
First you would need a new, free graphics, sound effect, and music.
innocenat··on Apple gets $19M fine in Brazil for not selling iPhones with charger
For power user, probably not a problem. I have a bunch of charger and even USB C-to-A cable I got from various devices that I never use, since I have my own set of chargers and cables I prefer.

But most users don't. They use the included charger. They need the included charger. I frequently see people asking if it's okay to use other adapters and cable with their devices. They don't know and whether it's compatible and they don't want to risk their device.

innocenat··on Show HN: Komorebi – A tiling window manager for Windows 10/11 written in Rust
FancyWM is my go-to window manager for Windows. I have look at komorebi before, but it look very complicated to set up.
innocenat··on Hyperlinks in Handwriting
When I clicked the first link in the article, I though it was an image map too.
innocenat··on Katakana, Hiragana, and Unicode
-a sound (ะ) isn't dropped in Thai in most case. It's only dropped in specific cases, mostly from words with Pali/Sanskrit origin.
innocenat··on Katakana, Hiragana, and Unicode
Japanese Kana is syllabaries, not abugidas.
innocenat··on Katakana, Hiragana, and Unicode
I don't disagree about that. I just answered the first question in the article about why there are no one writing about this.
innocenat··on Katakana, Hiragana, and Unicode
They are sorted by dictionary order (五十音順 gojuuonjun) and there are no duplicated symbols in hiragana-katakana blocks.
innocenat··on Katakana, Hiragana, and Unicode
To be honest, both questions can be answered in a few seconds by looking at the code point table for Hiragana/Katakana if you already know Japanese. Hence, that's why nobody write about it.

> How do the 46 characters map into the 90 characters?

Because there are actually more than 46 characters.

> Do they map the same way for both hiragana and katakana?

Yes. That's also how we do conversion between hiragana and katakana. By adding/subtracting 0x60.

innocenat··on Integrating with Fastmail
> (did the 3-year plan for the best price and assuming prices will go up over time),

While they do go up, users on legacy plan still pay cheaper. I am still paying $45 for the basically same feature as the current $50 plan.

innocenat··on How Tokyo avoided the affordable housing crisis
You can easily get 20-25m² for 60-70k about 20 min from Shibuya. Not sure where you live that you think it's super expensive.
innocenat··on How Tokyo avoided the affordable housing crisis
6m/year is more than median income but is nowhere near SV salary and I know tons of people living in central Tokyo on that salary.
innocenat··on How Tokyo avoided the affordable housing crisis
Strongly disagree as someone who live in 20m^2 for the past 5 years.

Public space like parks and the walkability of the neighborhood are very important factor for comfortable living in small space. Both of which Japan do very well.
