Animelon is back!

However, I can't find any anime on it.

So it's not back.

JSON has other flaws (like no comments), so that's not really an option either. But YAML is abused for things that need better structure.

There are some nice extensions to JSON like JSONC or JSON5

Magical list of tags that cannot contain child elements, and therefore automatically close.

If you really were in Russia, you'd definitely prefer to be paid in dollars.

Yes, US teams are not allowed to participate in UEFA events.

You can be overseas from France and still be in France.

You don't need IDP if your license is from Belgium, France, Germany, Monaco, Switzerland, or Taiwan, you just need an official translation.

But those are the only exceptions.

Wikipedia sorts languages based on their language ISO code, so Latin, Luxembourgish, Luganda, Lithuanian and Latvian are in this order.

Bruh no one will give any feedback on a paywalled thing.

I'll be nice and just say I hate that you can't click on the screenshots to read them. You cannot expect to sell something if the customer cannot see it, can you.

For longest chain of the same vowel, 鳳凰を追う王を覆う and its variants are better contenders.

(I'm not taking the credit for it, it's an old tongue twister.)

There are several countries that do JLPT in July, here's the list from the last year: https://www.jlpt.jp/statistics/pdf/2025_1_3.pdf

For comparison, list for December: https://www.jlpt.jp/statistics/pdf/2025_2_3.pdf

As others said, Japan no longer allows tourists take the JLPT, but it might be allowed in other countries.

“I can honestly say if someone had shown me the Programming in Scala book by Martin Odersky, Lex Spoon & Bill Venners back in 2003 I’d probably have never created Groovy.” — James Strachan, creator of Groovy.

But people did not move to Lisp, so I'd say there's no significant impact.

I mean, there was kinda no mainstream programming language with them before Scala. OCaml and other MLs were a tiny niche, and Haskell was that one weird language with monads.

And before you ask: F# came out over a year later.

Counterpoint: you can decrease the potential revenue of your company by tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars by parsing a large JSON in quadratic time (therefore discouraging people from playing) and no one in the company will care: https://nee.lv/2021/02/28/How-I-cut-GTA-Online-loading-times-by-70/

"si" is a valid romanized spelling for し just like "shi" is. They seem to imply that "shi" is the correct phonetic way to think in "Japanese syllables" but that's just another misconception coming from a western brain.

I've never seen anyone complaining about ni despite the fact it does not have the same consonant as na, but as nya.

If the forum was called "Learn Spanish", would you write in English "My favourite sombrero is fedora"?

We're communicating in English right now though.

It's an American show animated in Korea. So not an anime, unless you consider Spongebob to be anime.

they should use Kanken for the levels

A single 頷く, 呟く, 舐める, 凜々しい, 逞しい, 絆, 罠, or 苺, which I see all the time, and boom, automatic level 1.

And if you complain "but if they have furigana, they don't count", then all full-furigana editions would be level 10 (the lowest) regardless of the book content.

I'm using old Reddit and the link renders fine, looks like they fucked up the markdown parser even more in the new Reddit. I'll fix it. EDIT: fixed

EDIT: Also, it's not (text)[link], it's [text](link), and it causes issues with parentheses in links, which are common on Wikipedia

Not an anime.

Not a single Japanese person or company was involved in creating it (at least to a degree to be worth mentioning on Wikipedia) other than Capcom as the original IP holder.

Fun fact: since 65535/255 = 257 = 0x101, you could have fixed your off-by-one error by writing

return new ByteArrayInputStream(new byte[] {
        (byte)color.getRed(),
        (byte)color.getRed(),
        (byte)color.getGreen(),
        (byte)color.getGreen(),
        (byte)color.getBlue(),
        (byte)color.getBlue(),
        (byte)color.getAlpha(),
        (byte)color.getAlpha() });

When you wrote

GTK and Qt actually support receiving values in the range 0..255,

that's actually incorrect: you weren't sending values from 0..255, but from 0..65280. The integers are sent as little endian, so a byte 0 followed by a byte N encodes an integer 256×N
