This is almost a bucket sort, which is practically O(n).

(I'll leave it to the other readers to state the trade-offs)

Good read. Thank you!

Japanese has three alphabets (and the English alphabet... and those Arabic numbers we are all familiar with)

• Hiragana (ひらがな) for native words, grammar, and morphology - it reminds me of cursive
• Katakana (カタカナ) it gives an unmistakable clue you are reading a foreign word - but can also be used for emphasis
• Kanji (漢字) borrows Chinese characters that can be read with native or borrowed sounds, but generally with the same meaning

Given those and the English letters at your fingertips they have a lot of tools to give context. Grab a newspaper or Manga sometime, even if you don't know the words you can tell each writing system apart pretty easily.

Why do people think this is good music?

I didn't know star control 1 was on the Genesis. Huge fan of the series! 3 never happened.

I think that's the point of this post, either as a commentary or specific recommendations to avoid junk. Let's hope LG or Samsung have some good offers.

I'm reading this book right now. 'Blindsight' was a trip.

Does anyone else see a giant chicken?

Yep. Balance. More generally it's all about social calibration. Get a good idea of where you are, then aim for the comfortable middle.
