I learned about 沌 quite a while ago when I studied the first few chapters of Genesis in Japanese (混沌 was used to describe the earth in Gen 1:2) and something jogged my memory when I was looking for examples. The dictionary link I posted had

According to https://kotobank.jp/word/%E6%B2%8C-2789579#goog_rewarded 沌 has a meaning "gather, water gathers" There are other meanings to it. I admit I had a hard time finding an example.

by matvore 1mo ago
A component can contribute meaning as well as pronunciation. 沌 is pronounced like 屯 and they both have a kind of "gather" "clog" meaning

The Wikipedia sort for the languages is as I stated above, with Literary Chinese and Japanese between Wu Chinese and Yue Chinese. I explained why it was sorted that way, because radical is considered first. You could not explain why Japanes

by matvore 1y ago
It is sorted FIRST by radical and SECOND by stroke order. This is roughly equivalent to the Unicode codepoint sort if you stay in the basic multilingual plane. The order also puts literary chinese afer wu Chinese, which breaks with a pure s

Note I work for Google and I've contributed to Chromium, though I'm not necessarily an expert on Chromium forks. 1. Google Chrome This is offical Chrome you download from google.com and also comes on ChromeOS devices. 2. Chromium

Chromium is merely Chrome with only the open source parts. Chromium components are still implemented in a Google-controlled repo. So it has Google-oriented features and defaults.

IMO it still looks rather nostalgic. I do remember using cmd.exe or command.exe in Windows 95 and later and this being the default (but it would different if you had a different legacy code page set, IIRC). Of course cmd.exe just rendered t

I wish I knew awk as well as I know perl, since then I wouldn't need to hear recommendations for CPAN modules and spurious style prescriptions.

Perl has the advantage of only having one implementation, unlike sed and grep (e.g. BSD or GNU) and /bin/sh (can be one of many POSIX shells), so upgrading this pipeline to 100% perl is safer in some respects. The example in the a

If we're going to talk about unnecessary extra processes like useless cat, we should merge the head and grep commands into a sed, and possibly just merge everything into perl: <access.log sed -n '/mail/p; 500q&#

Don't worry, we enjoy that kind of stuff. I usually put all the resource freeing at the end of a function under a goto label, or only a few lines within the allocation, so it's easy to visually confirm everything is cleaned up. Th

If you store the number of zeros as value z, computing z+1 is O(log n) in the long run for unbounded values of z.

If you define predictable as computable with finite memory, it is correct. If you have finite memory, you have a finite number of states and will eventually return to a previous state. In your example, you eventually will run out of memory

What does `Ctrl + [` send to the terminal for you if not esc? In my experience these are always the same, so Vim shouldn't be able to tell the difference unless it's a GUI-integrated version like gVim. Try to run `xxd` and then pr

The last time I used a leak finder, a memory allocation which still has a ptr to it is not a leak. You are conflating unfreed memory with unreferencable memory.
