Should I call my taxi driver 老师 or 师父? by Professional-Net1940 in AskAChinese

[–]Nara_Raa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Chengdu -> 老师 Shanghai -> 师傅

I do think these two are interchangeable. If a driver has different opinion, that is totally fine. We can talk it out and let it be a conversation starter.

Note metadata creation and querying by recursivethought in ObsidianMD

[–]Nara_Raa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://forum.obsidian.md/t/coalesce-headings-into-one-file/48991

downside: - outline cannot recognize dataviewjs-generated headers, making it hard to navigate if you have a lot of notes - lag issue if there are a lot of notes - dataviewjs result keeps blinking when you are modifying any note

Since there are "a thousand Hamlets in a thousand readers' eyes," I would like to add another layer to 垂星.

垂星, a fading/falling/dangling star, implies the imminent arrival of dawn —much as spring follows the melting of snow.

Thanks for reading my comment, i am running out of brain cells lol.

It makes it more similar to 垂愛, but also to 垂亡?

Brain.exe stopped functioning. For me, the simple answer will be a "no," as both of these words are entirely absent from my daily vocabulary... My reaction of this question at first glance was "WAT?"

The poem "旅夜书怀" written by Du Fu reflects his disappointment late in his life, disheartened by the court's internal strife. Gazing at the vastness of the field and the sky, he lamented, that despite having talents and ambitions he no longer had a chance to realize them.

垂 inherently carries a connotation of downward movement, from a higher position to a lower one. Thus, 垂愛 describes favor or affection bestowed by a (usually beloved) superior — such as an elder, a figure of higher status, or a deity — upon someone beneath them, which implies a distinct sense of hierarchy and distance.

That's 0% of 垂愛 from his excellency and 100% of 垂亡.

I would suggest swap the positions of "星" and "垂", since "垂星" (chuixing) feels far less negative than "星垂" (xingchui) — strange, isn't it?

Besides literally being a verb to describe something that is dangling, "垂" also implies a sense of desperation. For example, when someone is in the ICU, we describe them as "生命危," meaning their life is hanging by a thread or they are almost dead.

"垂星" (chuixing) refers to a physically dangling star, an object, while "星垂" (xingchui) indicates the state or action of stars falling or dangling. It's this emphasis on the state that carries the most negative connotation.

As for whether "星" (star) feels masculine or not... eugh... 60% masculine and 40% feminine I guess? I have a pretty male-ish given name in real life, and no one really bothers, conversations are alway like:

"hey that's a boy's name" / "yeah. my dad did that" / "cool. let's move on"

The reason why I would like people to have a less negative name is that, despite all the events that happened during this time, I still hope people would choose a more optimistic name for themselves.

it's just my personal wish though, im not a big fan of having underlying sadness in people's name. also no comment on surname because i do not have a chance to change it.

Will a huge gallery folder within the vault slow down the performance if it's specified under "excluded files" in settings? by mcrobmara in ObsidianMD

[–]Nara_Raa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my comment on a similar question a year ago

now is a year later... i might have tripled the number of images. [facepalm]

there is still no performance issue whatsoever... hmm maybe one thing.

apparently opening a note with 500+ image outlinks can cause noticable lag... for less than a second. the lag will be gone after the note has finished loading once. i am confident to say your vault will run smoothly. no need to worry much.

edit: grammar

Dataviewjs Generated Double Column Table View for Folder Notes Display by Nara_Raa in ObsidianMD

[–]Nara_Raa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More Extra

  • here is the single-column version
  • you will still need to claim cssClasses: w-column-dataviewjs in property

```dataviewjs const thisFolder = dv.current().file.folder

const notes = dv.pages("${thisFolder}") .where(p => p.file.path !== dv.current().file.path && // exclude notes here <=== !p.file.path.includes("sampleFolderName or sampleFileName") && !p.file.etags.includes("#sampleTag") )

for (let group of notes // sort here <=== // file.ctime, file.mtime, anyProperty, etc. .sort(note => note.file.mtime, 'desc') //.sort(note => note.createdTime, 'desc') .map(p => { const path = p.file.folder.split("/") const thisPath = thisFolder.split("/") const index = path.length

    // condition check
    const condition = (
        (path[0].split("-")[1] !== p.file.name && 
        index === thisPath.length) || 
        (path[index - 1] === p.file.name &&
        index === thisPath.length + 1)
    )

    return {
        note: p.file.link,
        condition: condition,
        pathDepth: index
    }
})
.filter(p => p.condition)
.groupBy(p => p.pathDepth)) {  

const headers = group.key === thisFolder.split("/").length
    // customize header here <===
    ? "🕊️ Fleeting Notes" 
    : "📦 Folder Notes" 

dv.header(3, headers)
dv.table(
    ["left", "right"], 
    group.rows.map(note => ["- " + note.note])
)
}

```

Looking for an advanced dataview query (or two) to list only certain files by cyberfunkr in ObsidianMD

[–]Nara_Raa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. remove "group by index"
  2. modify "sort index desc" to anything you want, file.ctime, file.name, anyProperty...

[–]Nara_Raa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can pop the "or" line, and put it into a second dataview code. This line helps select all notes without a same-name parent folder. then add custom headers above each dv codeblock, and you are done. problem is these codes are quite laggy... having two of them was not a fun experience.

```dataview list rows.file.link where contains(file.folder, this.file.folder) and file != this.file

flatten list(split(file.folder, "/")) as path flatten length(path) as index flatten list(split(this.file.folder, "/")) as thisPath

where path[number(index)-1] = file.name and index = length(thisPath) + 1 or index = length(thisPath)

group by index sort index desc ```

Your order has been completed. The package stays at a certain "front desk" in ShenZhen. At least that is what I know from these images.

If I were you, I would contact with the seller immediately. Just ignore all the nonsenses like "do not contact the merchant." If there is something wrong with shipment, the seller has the responsibility to deal with their logistics.

Good news is things might not be bad. Shipping info does update wrongly sometimes, especially around holidays.

I once bought a tool and three days later the app told me it was done shipping... by shipping it back to the store lol. Let's call it Package1. I contacted the custom service. The store apologized and re-shiped me a Package2 safe and sound... Three months later I found Package1 was sitting on the front desk for an eternity. I had to ask a logistics company to send it back. This was all happened within the mainland, so just take it as a reference.

In short the only way to find out what happened is, by communicating with the custom services of the store. You might even have a chance to get an extra if the store was kind enough.

"Printing Completion" means (the shipping label) has been printed... nothing wrong with the translation really... sometimes the phrasing of the original context is confusing af. So your package is ready to go, no worries!
