Canto Anki collection assessment

1. The Cantonese template's TTS tag: defect on Mac desktop

Finding. The Cantonese template is {{tts yue_HK:Front}}, and it sits on the back side only.

How I checked. I read Anki 26.9.3's own source (aqt/tts.py). Matching is an exact string comparison between the tag's language and the voice's locale as say -v ? prints it. Nothing maps yue_HK to zh_HK. I then listed the voices on dogmatix (macOS 26.6.2):

  • Sinji is listed as zh_HK.
  • No voice is listed as yue_* at all.

So on desktop Anki, yue_HK matches no voice. Anki shows a "no players found" tooltip and plays nothing. It does not fall back to a Mandarin or default voice. Writing {{tts zh_HK:Front}} would pick Sinji, since it is the only zh_HK voice there.

Which European country's phone calling code requires the longest search into π?
https://twitter.com/#!/paulmakepeace/status/152405728848650240
"I mulled over this: which European country's phone calling code requires the longest search into π?
E.g. Switzerland +41, 3 digits #math #pi"
A couple of folks asked about very small "countries" or territories that
had seemingly long calling codes but which are actually subsumed under
e.g. North American Numbering Plan (+1) which isn't in Europe anyway,
Vatican City (+379 & +39), Curaçao (+599-9) under Netherlands Caribbean,
etc.
