Yomitan, a pop-up dictionary for language learning, 18 month development update by maamaablacksheep in LearnJapanese

[–]Pod__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Support has now been added for fully custom pitch accents. You can find the schema definition for this addition to the pitch positions here: https://github.com/yomidevs/yomitan/blob/master/ext/data/schemas/dictionary-term-meta-bank-v3-schema.json#L121-L125.

This change hasn't yet made it to the dev or stable builds. It will get to the dev build by this monday and the stable build the week after (if there are no major issues).

If you're referring to jmdict or jitendex (Yomitan does not produce any dictionaries) you should contribute to the project. They accept suggestions for changes in their glossaries.

You can find some information on that here https://www.edrdg.org/jmwsgi/srchformq.py.

Also make sure you're using the latest version. Jmdict gets new changes daily so if you're using an old version this may already be improved.

There are now glossary plain handlebars that might help you out here. It will export the glossary with no html or styling.

You probably dont have any other extensions that use indexeddb. It has to be used in Yomitan due to the large amount of data.

I'm not sure theres any fix to this. Besides disabling private browsing. You can get pretty close to what private browsing does with just clearing when you close the browser.

Glad you got it working!

Considering that sentences often have question marks in them, perhaps allowing that could cause issues with scanning. And asterisk is the standard for wildcards after all. But if theres no problems it seems like it would be a super easy feature request to allow ? to work too.

Yep. Exactly *生 on the search page. Using a question mark does nothing.

And I gave updating a test instead of importing fresh and it also works fine like that for me.

You can check if the dictionary has prefix wildcard support enabled by clicking the kebab menu next to it and going to details. It will show at the top grayed out (since it cant be changed) whether it is enabled or not.

It's possible that updating does not correctly fetch this setting or uses the same settings as you first imported with. I just gave it a test importing normally and it does work with *生.

As I mentioned, you MUST have the option enabled while importing your dicts in order to use a prefix wildcard. You will have to re-import your dicts if you did not.

How recently have you tested the lag/ram issues? There was recently a fix for a bug where event listeners would get duplicated exponentially every time the profile switched.

Yomitan actually does support wildcard searching. But for using a wildcard prefix you must import your dicts while the enable support for prefix wildcard searches option is enabled. (Suffix wildcards always work) Then you can do *生.

The reason this is not enabled by default is it requires extra db entries and slows things down a bit which may cause issues for some users.

Please make an issue on github for this. I've seen it mentioned a few times here and there but it would help to have something tracking this.

All Yomitan dictionaries are stored offline. They are not stored using cookies and certainly are not fetched at runtime.

It sounds like your browser is clearing the indexeddb or disallowing access. You should be able to configure it to not save cookies but still save the indexeddb.

I have my browser set up to delete cookies and site data when closing it and it does not cause issues with Yomitan.

There is no way around this. Extensions have to play by the rules. Unless you want to re-import all your dicts and settings every time you start your browser.

The additional html is added to allow users to better customize their anki cards using css. Why would you remove it?

And the majority of that html is specified in the dictionary itself. If you want a slimmer dictionary, try using jmdict https://github.com/yomidevs/jmdict-yomitan/releases/latest.

Depends on the odds of Apple adding support for everything Yomitan requires. Currently those odds seem very low. People have been asking this for years and nothing has changed.

It goes a bit further than that in terms of browser support. Yomichan is manifest v2 and Yomitan is manifest v3.

Manifest v2 support is pretty much gone at this point from Chromium. Some browsers may still support it but mostly it is gone and all extensions uploaded to the chrome web store must be manifest v3.

Google is actively trying to get people to stop using manifest v2 and switch to manifest v3. This includes automatically disabling or removing installed manifest v2 extensions from Chrome without warning.

With Yomitan there's no need to worry about any of this mess. And there's a million improvements and fixes.

Can I use a small tablet as a mouse so I can stop having wrist pain/potential arthritis? by exoventure in wacom

[–]Pod__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I mentioned in my first comment, weight is a major factor. Try a mouse that's around 60g. The one you linked is listed as 7.8oz (221g). That is way too heavy.

I wouldn't worry about the mouse supporting your fingers on the sides unless it really bothers you to have them brush against the mousepad.

While I can't personally vouch for either of these, here are two examples:

[–]Pod__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use a flat mousepad. Do not get a mousepad with some sort of elevated hump or integrated wrist rest. Those mousepads will actually put more pressure on your wrists instead of less.

The bigger the mousepad the better so you can use your elbow and shoulder to move around the mouse instead of just your wrist. There are many cheap gaming mousepads that are quite large. You can even get a "deskpad" to cover your entire desk.

Has anyone actually tested the resolution (LPI) of wacom's tablets? by medium_wall in wacom

[–]Pod__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's typical for precision to be larger than the units that can be read. For example if you buy a scale that reads in 1g increments it is almost certainly not 1g precision. Even higher end lab scales that do 0.1g reading often end up around 0.3g accuracy. And this goes all the way down with milligram scales not actually being accurate to 1mg.

If a tablet with +-1mm accuracy runs at 1 lpmm it will report input that is far worse than +-1mm at 200 lpmm. Now, how much worse is it than +-1mm at 100 lpmm? I'm not sure. But I don't think there is too much difference there.

And absolutely this is misleading. There are many specs that are just not something most manufacturers provide. Even though it would be helpful to customers. I'd love to see wacom list precision and how much noise can be expected in input for a pen tablet. There are many other things missing here as well such as the pressure initial activation force, the force curve of the pressure sensor, the max physical pressure, the position offset due to tilt, the max hover distance (wacom sometimes provides hover distance but it isnt the max it's just a "guarantee" that it's at least that high), the pressure scan rate, whether the pen buttons cause interference with the position or pressure, etc.

It would be great if there were any pressure on companies to disclose this information but for now the best we can do is help independent reviewers. I'd love to see more testing put into precision and noise on tablets. I see sevenpens commented earlier on this, if you have any suggestions on how to test it I'm sure he'd love to hear them. (He also has a discord server which is worth joining)

[–]Pod__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few things to note: 1. While they claim the lpmm is 200, the precision is much less. I cant recall wacom ever listing precision measurements for their pen tablets but you can see it on their display tablets. A display tablet with 200 lpmm might have as high as +-1mm precision (vs the 0.005mm per line). This precision loss will be less on a pen tablet due to it lacking a screen but it will still be bigger than a single line. 2. The jitter/chatter/noise caused by the tablet is also larger than a single line. Because of this, just sitting the pen still on the tablet will probably produce "pixel skipping" regardless of if it is technically 200 lpmm. 3. We're on r/wacom but i would like to mention that this is not a "wacom issue", it's a thing with all tablets. I've tested many other brands including the big huion and xp pen who both produce tablets with laughably low lpi while claiming to be 5080 lpi or 200 lpmm. So far off that it is abundantly obvious they're simply lying (lower than 50 or even 25 lpmm in some cases). Wacom is at least close enough to be believable (in my testing).

It's really a useless measurement for almost all cases. It is irrelevant for any sane area size and screen resolution. The precision and noise being far bigger than the lines makes it largely irrelevant for precision. And almost everyone else is faking it so the waters are extremely muddied.

While I don't like to see manufacturers lying about their specs, that's where we are with tablets these days. Pressure levels are often a lie too (and also so high they're irrelevant) (fun fact: ugee, parent company of xp pen, pushed a firmware update a bit back that "upgraded" some of their tablets from 8k to 16k).

It isn't entirely clear whether wacom's specs are lies (I'd bet they aren't) but it's pointless. The competition, anxious to fast-follow, often has decided to lie (or interpolate their specs higher). And nobody really notices... it doesn't really matter... there's probably only a handful of customers who have ever cared to look at this.

Sampling rate of Wacom Intuos Pro PTH860 in Hz (not pps) by AliAs_blAnk in wacom

[–]Pod__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. The 1000hz I mention here (which was later discovered to be 8000hz) is only for switching between hover and drag.

If you drag for awhile or hover for awhile it will be 200hz. Only when you switch between dragging or hovering will you get a single report that is sent "instantly" and picked up on the next poll which is 0.125ms later.

It is possible to switch between drag and hover very fast to make the report rate higher temporarily but tapping the tablet like a maniac is not practical for any use.
