Japanese Words in Neuromancer
This reminds of a list I’ve been compiling for the past couple of years: English-language software or products with names taken from Japanese. I find them interesting because there has long been awareness, discussion, and controversy in Japan about the the opposite phenomenon—English words used in Japanese.
The following examples all came from HN:
Koi Pond, a load testing tool. Koi (鯉) means “carp.”
https://slack.engineering/load-testing-with-koi-pond/
Anki, a flash card tool. Often mentioned in HN discussions. Anki (暗記) means “memorization.”
https://apps.ankiweb.net/
Bento, a framework for development of Linux kernel file systems. A bento (弁当) is a meal in a box.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.09723
Umami, a website analytics tool. Umami (旨味)’s original meaning is “taste, flavor, deliciousness”; it now also refers to a particular basic taste sensation.
https://umami.is/
Senpai, a gaming assistant. Senpai (先輩) means “someone senior to or older than one, typically in an educational or workplace hierarchy.”
https://senpai.gg/
Shodan, a search engine. Shodan (初段) means “first-level ranking in a skill, etc.).”
https://www.shodan.io/
YubiKey, an authentication device. Yubi (指) means “finger.”
https://www.yubico.com/
Asahi Linux. Asahi (朝日, 旭) means “morning sun.”
https://asahilinux.org/about/
Neko, a virtual browser. Neko (猫) means “cat.”
https://github.com/m1k1o/neko
Kaitai Struct, a declarative language for binary data structures. Kaitai (解体) means “disassembly.”
https://kaitai.io/
Hikari, a custom logon script engine for Windows. Hikari (光) means “light.”
https://github.com/NoenDex/Hikari
Hikari, a Wayland compositor.

Kaitai Struct
- Reverse-engineering an encrypted IoT protocol

Parsing an Undocumented File Format
- ImHex [2], which has a pattern language [3] which allows parsing, and it seems more powerful than what Kaitai offers. I stumbled upon some limitations with it but it was still useful.

Hacking the LG Monitor's EDID
An EDID override like this would be helpful for macOS as well, where the monitors swapping around after standby is a real annoyance [0] [1]
EDID rewrites are 99% of the time blocked by the monitor firmware: https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/Decoding-monitor-EDID-on-macO...
By the way, one helpful tool that helped me navigate the EDID dump was Kaitai Struct [2]. It shows a side by side view with the hex view and the EDID structure, and it highlights the hex values in real time as you navigate the structure. Unfortunately [3] it doesn't support the extension blocks that the author needs.
