Tokyo! It's a city with its pluses and minuses, but having already spoken Japanese before coming, I enjoy the everyday life more than any other place I've been. A big difference I would say between a place like Tokyo and most urba

Fair. I disagree with your conclusion, but I don't think it's an unfounded position to take. Nevertheless, I imagine this is an unusually salient issue for us. I imagine for the average Canadian emigrant, the fact that the US offe

As an educated young professional who emigrated from Canada, car dependency and low density cities were major reasons I left. Suburban sprawl is a prison without a car, and I have no intentions of driving. With that said, I clearly don&#x27

Most of Tokyo's mass transit network is absolutely neither isolated nor enclosed, and operates with vastly higher frequencies. Here's is the timetable for a suburban station on a commuter lines: https://train-cloud.navi

I often use different light/dark settings between apps and my system. Just because I want system UIs to be dark, for example, doesn't mean I want to read long pages of white-on-black prose on your blog.

Please educate me if I'm missing something! From memory, what I would do is simply download the original ttfs or otfs, run them through woff2 ( https://github.com/google/woff2 ), and then write the @font-face declar

What made you give up? As the article describes, self hosting fonts is as easy as making the static font files available and then adding a few lines of CSS. What solution would you want Google to offer?

Saying that Chinese people are okay, and are not necessarily represented by the actions of the Chinese state, isn't about anything more than trying to prevent violence and hate from being targeted towards ethically East Asian-looking p

Built-in Windows controls, like buttons, scroll bars, etc. are updated with each system release. However, they are relatively inflexible, and no one uses WinApi anyway, so most frameworks and apps build their own components, with varying de

Sure, but not all people who use computers are programmers, and programmers make up a small minority of computer users. Much of the value in computers come from augmenting other workloads. There are no shortage of people composing e-mails a

I have an app installed that essentially draws over the entire view to darken the screen, while all interactions pass through transparently. It can't draw over certain areas, like some popups and the notification bar, but most of that

I agree, there's definitely flexibility in what I expect, and what other people will likely expect. Here's the thing though: when I double-click "double-click", I could reasonably expect "double" "click&qu

I think it depends on how engrained the double-click highlight is for you. For me, I double-click by default, since I almost always want to select at a word boundary in English. As a result, when I need to select Chinese or Japanese text, I

I use double-click highlighting, and the reason is mostly selecting passages of text when editing. Double-click highlighting makes it so I don't have to find the precise character boundaries for the first and last words in the passage.

Firefox, in contrast, breaks at script boundaries, so it'll select runs of Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. Not nearly as useful, and definitely makes copying Japanese text especially annoying.

UWP is hardly consistent. Just as a quick example, the context menu in the start menu is slightly different from the context menu for the task bar, which are both very different from the context menu(s!) which appear in the Windows Mail app
