I'm impressed, If you remove the Kanji from Japanese, my reading speed goes down significantly. Though, as a native English speaker of course my English (alphabet) reading speed is faster than my Japanese (Hiragana/Katana) speed.

Looks interesting. On the page I noticed a sale price of ~$41 in red text but upon checkout it is $69. I don’t mind paying $69, but just want to confirm I’m not missing some opening sale.

Could you elaborate more on your specific ES problems? Having worked with Elasticsearch extensively for many years, and do not share this sentiment. Many of the ES queries fundamentally aren't meant to have a 1-to-1 equivalent in SQL a

I read the whole post and did not get that impression. I thought it was a pretty good write-up explaining the concept of a “partition attack” on Bitcoin (and in distributed systems in general). I had not previously been aware of this form o

Agreed. We’ve been running large Elasticsearch clusters as our primary search/analytics engine. While it’s overall very stable, stuff does occasionally happen that requires an index rebuild. We use HBase as our primary store and index

This is not about mapping a fractal to a sound which is what I see more often discussed. Instead this video is about zooming into a piece of music and finding self-similarity as you zoom in.

Most definitely. Must respect the weight. Ironically, I originally injured my back when lifting weights. In my case I was just being sloppy and beer may have been involved. :) This has been a hard lesson.

I was about to mention this as well. In the list of things the author tried, they didn’t mention strength training. Since I started deadlifts, rack lifts, and more strength training in general I have had no back problems. Granted I’m sure t

This is so cool! I recently just started tinkering with a fractal expressor that results in voxel world in libgdx to roam around in. But secretly in the back of my mind, I think you are building what I really want! Love it. I’ll be followin

I'll assume you are indicating that the visitor logs are often empty. Given that, I do not see how no visitors correlates to the families doing it out of vengeance or spite. In general, I feel the poster extremely amplified the reasons

Indeed. That was what I was trying to convey.

I completely agree that people in general do not want to deal with near death elders , or elders who need caretaking. As of course this is a huge burden and very distracting. I’ve also dealt with this a number of times. It’s certisnly not f

Holy wow. I can assure you that this is NOT what the majority of Americans who send elders to nursing homes think. It’s more often to simply avoid the burden; laziness rather than spite. Other major reasons are because their families aren’t

Your first two paragraphs really stand out to me. It can be very difficult to piece these experiences into tangible sentences. It truly is ineffable. Yet, when you’re there it’s so trivially effable. It’s at times comical and yet sad when y

I’m a huge fan of these sorts of simple programming languages. I consider the simplicity of Purebasic and TI-83/89 Basic to be one of the main reasons I was able to successfully get into programming in high school despite not having an

In terms of wasting your time, I think it's only a waste of time if you perceive it to be a waste of time. If you had fun developing the game, then I wouldn't beat yourself up over it. Simply because, as you've noticed, relea

This. I spent a solid year reflecting and trying to understand everything that happened during my first LSD experience. The whole thing simply transcends anything you have ever experienced. When you “see” a strange loop involving your mind

And no, your average Chinese person doesn’t know about the Uighur situation. And what they do know is that there are many Muslim terrorists. When I have brought it up they think I’m preaching false news or propaganda ha. I speak Chinese so

Certainly. I try not to take too high of a moral high ground for many similar reasons. US’s constant wars/conflict, our ridiculous murder/violence/crime rates, the fact that China likely needed a very strong handed government

It’s always interesting to me to see posts like this. While I certainly agree with the author’s sentiment and concerns, I feel like I never hear about Chinese people actually complain about these concerns in China. Sure I hear occasional

I agree with most people’s advice about going to Google. My additional reason for advising you to go to Google is that you seem to be on the fence. The startup option is a great option if you’re very passionate about it. While I didn’t have

My recommendation is to go to school if you can. In addition to getting a good formal education in computer science, you also get exposed to many other subjects such as math, philosophy, physics, etc. Even classes like English/writing

This is a really good point I’d like to second.

Completely agree. I understand the intent and sentiment of the OP, however in my mind abandoning and further isolating ourselves from China, will not be ineffective. I just don’t see the whole world lining up and agreeing to do this. This w

I feel that my life is a giant Sine wave oscillating between learning and unlearning lessons. Haha I will not use my phone for large periods of time, then years later realize that I fell back into the trap, and begin taking steps to take b
