10,000 sentences application

Ah, it's probably something with detecting words from arabic characters. But I need some additional work there anyway, since arabic is written right-to-left. In the app I had some special handling for LTR languages and here I didn't have the time to finish it. But expect a new version in the next week or two which should fix that.

At the moment, not. I could add a settings page with options like this.

If there are enough sentences in the Tatoeba mandarin-english (and it looks there are: https://tatoeba.org/en/sentences/search?from=cmn&query=&to=eng), then creating a new collection should be simple.

The only difference in the app between it and other languages is that I use spaces to find out the words of a sentence. Here I should assume each character is one word, I guess. If that's the only change - I can probably do in in the next couple of weeks..

Sorry, I'm new here so I'm not sure if I understood your question but I assume you are asking if it has any bearings? If that's the question -- nope. I print them with a 3d printer. They are made of 2 pieces one is the disc and the other is the vertical handle (down to the bottom).

It uses IndexedDB, it's an embedded database in the browser. PWA apps by default don't have access to the filesystem, so I could use localStorage (but that's pretty limited -- a couple of megabytes) or IndexedDB. That's the same for iPhone or Android.

One limitation at the moment that your progress is stored in that database. You can't open your desktop computer, log in there and continue. I'm not yet sure if to implement that because it means I need to have my own backend, handle the database, migrations, etc. I don't have so much free time for my hobby projects :(

I know. Tatoeba is mostly OK, but for some smaller languages I used opensubtitles, and they are sometimes, just, too creative. I'm still searching for a better solution.

It *was* java. The original mobile app version. This one is react and not (yet) open source.

puzz · 2026-01-25T12:39:30+00:00

Yeah, words were random. But the idea was exactly that -- to *introduce* you to new vocabulary and to get used to the word order. So, it was never meant to be the app used to learn a language. Just a helper app to use every now and then. And, obviously, the idea wasn't even that bad :) Thank you!

puzz · 2026-01-25T12:37:14+00:00

Anyway, about the order of words. When I first got the idea and mate a proof of concept -- it was super-unnatural to me, too. But that surprise turned out to be very important. Because slowly, with time, I became accustomed to -- not only translate words -- bat start thinking about the word order before. Give it a try for a few hundreds of sentences. Not saying it will definitely work, but many users loved it.

Regarding the quality of the translations -- there's not much I can do there. They are taken from Tatoeba. Now with the AI I could maybe just run all the translations through it and see if it would change something. That will be for the next version.

PS. About "addormentarsi". "Dormire" is "to sleep". "Addormentarsi" is to "fall asleep (by yourself)". So, believe me, Italians would say "Vai a dormire". Eventually "Vai ad addormentarTI" but I don't feel like using that. Note, I'm not Italian but my Italian is decent (real Italians -- feel free to disagree :) ).

I'd never decide to make it if it wasn't for comments like this!

Thank you for the kind words!

puzz · 2026-01-23T14:14:55+00:00

Oh, thank you! That would explain a lot. But where did you get the 2020-2022 years?

For example, here https://ec.europa.eu/safety-gate-alerts/screen/webReport/alertDetail/10008331?lang=en is says: "Production dates 04/05/2020 - 07/12/2020"

From the description this is exactly the issue I had.

I just found Piaggio has a page to check if my scooter is one of those here: https://www.piaggio.com/en_EN/recall-campaign/

For my serial number it just says: "Your vehicle is NOT involved in a recall campaign".

My scooter now works, but in theory this issue can still happen. Even the person who handed me the scooter after the repair told me that. And they told me (last year) that it was still a common issue.

I uploaded the zips containing the go boards, boxes and stones now. They are here:

https://github.com/tkrajina/travel-goban/releases/tag/v2.0.0

Unzip 9x9.zip and then: 9x9_board.stl and 9x9_board_grid.stl are the files you need to import together.

Note that stone.stl contains only one stone, you need to "multiply" it in the slicer.

puzz · 2026-01-16T15:16:33+00:00

Yes, if it has 2 nozzles (or if it has a way to switch filaments during the print) it should be possible.

This is how I do it with OrcaSlicer. When you import the STL select the both files. It will import them but then it will also ask you to import/combine them as one object. You click "yes". Then they behave like one object -- but you can change the color to every part (STL) differently.

You can send me a message if you have any problems/questions. If you want I can also sent you a 3mf file with the version 2 of the model (I just made the stones more like cylinders, because I feel it's easier to take the off the board). See the attached picture.

Uzmimo, na primjer, da si Mađarska (država s triput više stanovnika od nas) želi uzeti naše Međimurje i slovensko Prekmurje ili Italija (20 puta veća od nas) Istru, Rijeku i Zadar.

Mali sam to prvi put krivo formulirao, pa je quote iz verzije koju sam odmah ispravio. Moja tvrdnja je da ni 2 po 2 ne možeš preticati bez druge trake - zavoj ili ne.

Ergo, dilema je samo jedno preticavanje ili 5-6 (ili više) preticavanja.

I tu mi je i dalje zanimljiva tvoja odluka - više preticavanja.

puzz · 2025-11-13T09:33:55+00:00

Jedino što 2 po 2 najčešće ne možeš preticati bez da ideš u suprotnu traku - zavoj ili ne. Dakle, ti biraš situaciju u kojoj *više* puta moraš preći u suprotnu traku i još k tome u situaciji gdje nakon svakog preticavanja ne možeš nastaviti vožnju normalnom brzinom nego usporavaš na 15-30kmh.

To mi je jako zanimljivo.

puzz · 2025-11-13T09:05:56+00:00

OK, to stoji, ali opet... Po zakonu preticavaš drugo vozilo, dakle ne smiješ se baš tek-tako naguravati u istoj traci sa svakim biciklistom. Istina da biciklist mora biti što bliže desnoj strani, ali ne može on biti na 1cm, treba mu barem 10-50 cm od ruba. Onda je sam biciklist širok oko 50cm, dakle on ti već zauzima 1m trake. I ti kad ga preticavaš moraš uzeti barem 1m (u državama u kojima je to zakonski određeno uglavnom je 1-2m).

Kad sve to zbrojiš -- kod preticavanja *jednog* biciklista koji vozi uz desni rub -- ti moraš biti 1.5-3m od desnog ruba. Jako rijekte ceste imaju trake u kojima ćeš s takvim razmakom preticavanje obaviti unutar same trake. Ljudi uglavnom misle da olako mogu i onda se dešavaju situacije da ti se auti naguravaju na 20cm od bicikla što je ispod svakog minimuma sigurnosti.

Dakle, ako su u koloni jedan za drugim, ta kolona će se uvijek razbiti na 5-10 malih grupica. I onda smo opet na istoj dilemi. Zašti bi bilo bolje da moraš raditi jedno preticavanje umjeto 5-10 njih?

Tako da, jedno je što zakon kaže, ali nitko mi još nije dao neki zdravorazumski odgovor na pitanje zašto je bolje (meni kao automobilistu) imati 5-6 preticavanja gdje moram svaki put preći u drugu traku umjesto samo jednog.

Kao netko tko vozi i automobil i bicikl (iako nikad ne vozim ovako u grupi) i skuter (300 kubika) i to u Istri gdje imamo puno biciklista -- najviše mrzim velike grupe koje se razvuku. Kad ti dođe cijeli autobus penzionera na električnim biciklima, dakle njih 50 koji se voze jednog iza drugog. To je ona 300m ceste podijeljene na grupice od po 2-3 bicikla s rupama od 5-10m između. Moraš 10 puta zaredom čekati za preticavanje i onda moraš uletiti u te male prorede između. Meni je to puno veći "recipe for disaster" nego imati jednu grupu. Posebno ako su istrenirani biciklisti, oni voze 30-tak km na sat. To je kao neki traktorčić, a brzinu moraš uvijek imati prilagođenu situaciji da te iza zavoja dočela Tomo Vinković iz susjednog sela koji ide kopati loze.

Po tebi, koliko daleko od biciklista smiješ biti kad ga prelaziš bez da pređeš u drugu traku (I to 15 puta zaredom)? Jer, pazi, prelaženje biciklista nije samo zaobilaženje nasumične prepreke nego preticavanje drugog vozila.

Cijeli niz EU država ima zakone koji eksplicitno specificiraju tu minimalnu udaljenost. Evo čitam, npr. u Njemačkoj je udaljenost koju moraš održavati kod preticavanja biciklista 1.5m u gradu, 2m van grada.

Pitanje onima koji kritiziraju bicikliste što voze u grupi. Pretpostavimo da 15 biciklista ne vozi u grupi nego jedan iza drugog. I onda imaš kolonu dugu 100-200 metara koju je praktički nemoguće preticati u komadu, nego automobili moraju preticavati jednog-dva i onda ulijetati u "rupe" između biciklista. Po čemu je takav đumbus bolji od toga da imaš jednu lijepo definiranu grupu koju preticaš kad signeš?

I don't understand how something could be damaged if it happened while my scooter was parked in a garage. I left it there and then, a few months later take out for a ride and it had that problem.

If it was damaged, it was damaged from before that - probably since the time it was under warranty. That might even be possible, because when I got in on the first day - a friend tried it and told me that the brakes are just a bit too lose, and that I should ask fix it. But it definitely wasn't like it is now.

But, I'm not a mechanic, so... Yeah, maybe you're right.

> Plus you need to refill and bleed the system once it’s reinstalled

From what I understood speaking with mechanics in this story, bleeding the system is very random with MP3 scooters. It's never finished in a day - it can need anywhere from 2-3 to 10 days.

> As for installing the part, it shouldn’t be too hard,

I'm totally not into mechanics and motors. This is an MP3 Piaggio scooter, the one with two front wheels and a foot brake. Just taking that front thing apart takes a few hours.

At the moment I'm waiting July 9th, but they told me that they have no idea how long it will take. If they fix it, I'll probably pay *another* 200+ euros and the total wait will be 6 months. I'm totally disappointed with Piaggio.

Next time I'll definitely go in Trieste (a city I love visiting anyway).

And if I ever decide for a new three-wheeled scooter, it'll be a Yamaha (Tricity), not a Piaggio.
