I hope you can see a doctor because that doesn't sound good at all

At 60 years old I'd get it but at 30? That's worrisome.

According to the dictionary, 抜き打ちnukiuchi and 抜き付けnukitsuke sound like synonyms. I'm a little confused.

I guess with uchi (to strike down) vs tsuke (to put, attach, etc) one sounds more like the result and the action but it's weird that the definitions from Jisho.org aren't too explicit.

There's also smelting. Japan didn't have the technology to completely melt iron, which complicates things.

Rapiers are a tad more modern, but there is a parallel in how they were a bit of a status symbol and often used for less "normal warfare" scenarios.

For now. I suspect some evil person will eventually think of baking in default ads for when it can't connect to the network to get new ones.

I think the profanity filter used to be non-optional on iOS's autocorrect.

Yeah, our company has been meaning to transition to them for a while. I started saying Jsdoc comments but people complained about the pollution. Then I said fine, we'll do TypeScript one day instead.

That one day has yet to come. I don't actually get to decide much at this company, after all. Aah, technical debt.

Has something in particular been happening lately? I feel like Ubisoft has sucked for quite a while, but their stock price was fine until relatively recently, right?

Nope, don't need to. WebStorm can even detect nonexistent attributes for objects whose format the back-end decides, and tbh I'm not sure what sort of sorcery it uses.

Windows. Can't be arsed to deal with Linux.

All the time. It's basically the only way I open the Start menu. And I use Windows key shortcuts like Win+Alt+K really often.

I mean she's a teacher. A very hard job with lots of unpaid work that often offers downright sad wages.

Being unable to support oneself despite a full-time job is a more and more common thing in our world.

I've tried it. There were three issues:

1. Mouse movement was pretty choppy. Not exactly a dealbreaker, but it took a little extra effort to aim at buttons.
2. There wasn't an easy way to do keyboard shortcuts. I googled the issue and people were suggesting to change the system keyboard to one that includes extra keys like Windows, Ctrl, etc. I really didn't want to deal with that.
3. The interface was pretty hard to navigate. In the absence of extra keyboard keys, I looked into creating a custom script in the app to maybe do things like Alt+tab a different way, and I never found it. Both apps said it had to be configured on the other device.

Yeah I wish they were still adding new features and stuff. But I haven't found a better alternative yet, so I guess that's what we have.

I wonder what would happen. Let's say 10,000 people.

Let's say some extremist, highly organized group manages to successfully assassinate the 10,000 richest people in the world, and then disappears without a trace.

I'm guessing those people would all be succeeded by their next of kin. Would that cause a wave of change or...?

I used to wonder why we were in such a hurry to phase out 3G networks entirely.

Now I know.

I think you're going for malice a bit fast when incompetence and negligence seem like pretty likely culprits to me.

This is so weird. It reads like fiction.

Why is there a whole military briefing transcription right there in a newspaper? Isn't that supposed to be secret?

Shoko sounds like something you'd like. It tracks that you watch and auto-sorts your downloads into folders that your library can easily work with. Works well with Jellyfin and Plex.

They're still not done pushing their new, actually good, version to stable, though, and the same applies to the docs related to it. So I'd recommend going with the Daily version and joining the Discord for help with getting it to work.

Janky to install every time, but it's a godsend when it works.
