- Comment on How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this? 1 week ago:
I am learning Japanese since almost 3 years now. It’s a life’s goal of mine to be able to understand the language well.
I sometimes watch anime, I really like music by Ado, and I come across Japanese often.
I don’t really have a concrete reason for having started. A friend of mine learned Japanese in middle school seriously which gave me the idea the first time.
It’s safe to say that it’s a tremendous effort. You need to work on it for many years, especially if you have phases where you can’t or don’t want to learn, or work full time, etc.
If it’s just to watch anime, probably not worth it, unless you’re a total ween maybe. I’m my case, I started learning for the sake of it because it’s kind of fun and I found more interests in Japanese after starting to understand a few things.
Ressource wise, I’d recommend taking a look at the tofu guide to learning Japanese, that covers it much better than I could.
Some more resources that I use and really like:
- Wanikani (for studying the thousands of Kanji and some vocabulary with SRS)
- Bin pro (for studying grammar and how to actually use words with SRS)
- the Genki Textbooks (very well guided lessons, especially for Grammar. This can also be used as a basis for bunpro)
- TokiniAndk videos (Japanese teacher, has many videos going over genki too).
You got to be in it for the long run to be able to see any success.

I write my stuff in neovim with latex. Works really well. There is a live preview plugin if you want that too.

I too loved latex before I got into typst. Then I realized I just loved latex because it was the best thing I had at the time

Pros of typst:
- It makes you happy while using it because it just works
- Packages are available in typst universe and you don’t need to install 2000 Debian packages to be able to use it reasonably because most things are just available
- There are some super cool packages like that diagrams one, or that inline comments one.
- If you have an error, it tells you what the fucking problem is instead of printing 2000 lines of crap and saying overfull hbox 200 times
- There are many templates for all kinds of purposes
- Math mode is a bit different from latex but mich easier to remember since you often just write things out. Fractions are just done with /, more complicated things are just writing the name out. It’s actually rather intuitive.
- The documentation is much better than latex, especially for the base language.
- It’s fast as fuck. My bachelor Thesis builds in milliseconds. No need to build 3 times over with each being 5 seconds.
- Like overleaf? typst.app has that too. Local works just as well though. Language server for neovim or other editors exist too.
- It’s actually programmable with variables and loops and conditionals and functions and all that if you need it.
Probably some more, just wrote a little list after waking up out of my head

In Bad Kreuznach in RLP? I know that city, it’s pretty empty most of the time. Just to be clear, Döner is a specific category of food, and you will likely find a lot of Dönerläden in Germany.
- Comment on Are password managers secure to use? 2 months ago:
I mean… Can’t happen if you keep your stuff encrypted like with KeePassXC. Even if someone gets my password database, it’s useless for them since they don’t know how to decrypt it. That’s why I don’t use some online service, though using one of the online services is certainly better than reusing a weak remembered password.
- Comment on Are password managers secure to use? 2 months ago:
This is just a hack. If you use encryption to store passwords, that becomes just a nuisance.

And why do you think this is the case? Could it possibly be because the infrastructure is completely designed for cars, and using anything else is just not safe so you’d have to be a madman to go with these options?
Imran sure, I get rural, cars are good for rural areas, but not for towns etc.

It was bad enough. Schlimmer geht immer.
Also, comparing flights and trains doesn’t really work, I think. The getting into the plane time alone makes it too different.

Yes, not just DB too, but the local transit agencies too. Its a wonder that it all works so well DESPITE decades of mismanagement and austerity.
- Comment on Anon likes trains 3 months ago:
How are the illegal border controls from outside into Germany on train currently? By car, they didn’t even look us in the eyes when we passed, a complete waste of time.
The Bundespolizei could do actual work instead of just sort of chilling on the borders and checking people that don’t look German enough (presumingly).

My total journey from Berlin home this week was about 50 minutes late, and the connection after the ICE was not pretty.
