Tokyo has so many people, it couldn’t avoid being one of the most diverse cities in the world. I guess the stereotype is that all 40M people are salaryman drones and housewives, but clearly that’s not true. If even half are something else,

Figured this might be a decent place to ask, does anyone know why the Home app is so bad but I don’t seem to see complaints about it? It’s by far the least responsive Apple app I’ve seen, it constantly outputs audio on the wrong device (e.g

Wow, can’t believe Solarized is already old enough to potentially be out of fashion… But I agree it’s much more aesthetically pleasing over Dracula.

Your mention of blazingly red close buttons immediately brought to mind how the iPad looks when using SideCar. I've tried to use it many times, but can't stand the way MacOS renders color on the iPad, including eye-burning colors

Yes, it's a Christmas-oriented holiday, but the timing is determined by Thanksgiving since the day after Thanksgiving is when everyone turns their attention to Christmas and starts buying gifts (traditionally).

I don’t know if they just send the good ones to Japan, but I know a handful of people that ride them everyday and have had no issues.

I seem to have a very different experience from most of the comments so far, so thought I should share. My kids are 6 and 2 and we have no screen time limits but also no problems right now. However, I also think nature is very strong, and w

I also use a small keyboard (Keychron K3) even on my desktop, but once in the past when I switched to a full-sized keyboard, I intentionally switched to left-hand mousing since the extra distance is only on the right side (with the numpad).

How does that story have anything to do with being evil, by any stretch of the definition? Are you insinuating that Google has this convoluted verification flow to intentionally harm people in some way? Or even to intentionally harm privacy

This sounds like you were just trying to confirm a preconceived bias against Tokyo, or maybe are extrapolating from circumstances that are very different. There’s no way Tokyo is the least friendly place in the world and Kyoto the most. I’v

The structure of the city also makes it a great place to raise a family. That's why my family settled here. The kids have a safe, walkable community where almost everyone knows them and they feel at home and empowered. But we're a

For local businesses, I’d agree but the major infrastructure, including trains, are incredibly accessible. I chatted about it with a coworker who visited in a wheelchair. He couldn’t believe how accessible everything was and said it was the

I really don’t understand how everyone’s freaking out about the window and alluding to prison and punishment but cramming two or three strangers into one tiny, old room is perfectly fine as the status quo.

I love natural light and get as much as I can when I'm awake, but it's not required in my bedroom, especially if alternative options are a long commute, sharing a room with a stranger, or going deeper into debt. To me it's cr

I would rather live here than any of my dorms from college. It’s not like you will spend all, or even most, of your time in the room, especially with the nice shared facilities in the same building. Plus all the other options and opportunit

You’re describing the difference between renting and buying, not apartments and houses. You can buy apartments and rent houses, so they shouldn’t be conflated.

I recently found Go-to-file[0], which is suspiciously obscure, but actually very good. It's a Spotlight-like search bar with fuzzy finding capabilities and it's a godsend after fighting with Spotlight for years. [0] https:/&

I had the same question and I’m also not sure why this is getting downvoted. I’ve never seen water referred to that way even in scientific contexts. Is it supposed to be a joke?
