@sumudu Thanks!
@JeremyCherfas Not yet, but I also don’t roll much with the NPM crowd, and am generally third-party code averse. I’m keeping it top of mind should I do any library dev in my own time.
Work OSS tends to wind up MIT. I mostly use MPLv2 for my own personal stuff now, and ISC before that. But haven’t done anything personal outside maybe blogpost demos or weird ideas in a long time.

Revising a Japanese radicals list for Chinese has been very interesting. Hit a couple stroke order differences so far, and only like halfway through the list:
- 田
- 隹
There’s even a difference in dot direction in the latter case!
Also, can I just say it is awesome how many of these are standalone characters with their own meaning and reading. Vs the “well, we got three foreign readings, and then a couple native readings, and then maybe it shows up in a name with this completely different reading…” Japanese really overcompensated for its simple phonology by complicating the hell out of its writing system.
@matigo That, or just delete anything not accessed in the last 90 days outright. Everyone has backups anyway, right?
@kdfrawg I don’t even get why anyone was around to hear the announcement. I logged out at 5 on Friday and won’t look at work anything till Monday morning.

@indigo Even more awesome than that, it seems, at least in v2:
The printed recognizer in OS 2.0 was flawless and required no dictionary or learning period. It worked with familiar and strange handwriting styles alike. It only required separated printed characters to analyze. Even today, its recognition system is unmatched in the computing industry.

It not handling connected cursive would be a major loss for me, though. Boo. :|
