I'm guessing we agree about 95% of this, but re: "it doesn't take more time to display a string in Japanese than it does English":

1. It takes more time to detect a user's language than not to detect it. 2. It usually takes more time to render a page that can handle both LTR and RTL than one that does only LTR.

...and you can give many more such examples.

I don't disagree that basic proficiency is a more important cause of slow software.

This is great. I often want a low-latency, minimal-feeling option for this sort of thing. (And I get to use my Vim muscle memory less and less often these days!)

Really, thanks for making and sharing this; so far, I feel calm and happy when I'm using it.

It's likely to be worth trying! Good luck.

Basically, yes, but:

1. You probably only need a few pieces of the framework;

2. "Vibe code" can mean "get Claude (or whatever) to help you with some AWS (or whatever) service."

I'm quite sure you're right and most quizzers are not doing 300k reviews a year. I'm an odd case in a few ways.

I don't exactly think I have an algorithm better than FSRS yet, but I have an algorithm I like better. Hopefully I'll have more to say about this soon.

Ha! The shame will make me remember this quite easily without any help. :)

Looking at my phone. I do have exactly the plans you describe!

I am many things, but not a bot.

Oops! I haven’t read the guidelines in a while, and for a long time I only lurked. Thanks for setting me straight. I’m accustomed to forums where there’s no problem with posting your own stuff. Obviously I’ll correct my behavior. Thanks again!

At this point there's just a reflex I have that says "ah, I'd like to remember that." It's the same feeling whether I'm learning something for trivia, for work, or for personal reasons.
