Hey, it's off topic, but I just learned about your product and sent a link of the product page (beelinereader.com/individual) to my colleagues - only to find out that my email was filtered as a spam by FortiMail! Apparently, the o

As a taxpayer in Japan, I want the government to stop worrying about this inefficient calendar system and fully adopt the Western calendar everywhere. That said, I read the people's justifications are similar to those who favor the Fah

I remember reading that your subconscious is often more accurate than your conscious part of the mind (it was one of the books from Ramachandran or Oliver Sacks), so this makes some sense to me. Guess it's important to deliberately &qu

I actually think that most people in Japan don't really care about him. Grew up in Japan as a native, very few of my friends actually read his novel. Everyone knows he's a famous author, but that doesn't mean his work is popu

I tend to think the search is often the last resort and indicative of the other navigation system being broken. When people can reach the info they need in a more organized way quickly, they'd probably do so. Therefore full text sear

In case you haven't taken a look at the site, this is a service for foreigners who live in Japan.

Did you contact a support group like TELL Japan? I don't know exactly what you want, but you should talk to someone. Look for some meetups. I don't know anything about running business either, but people say the networking is alwa

I think the term "Western" is often mixed up with "Westernized", which has a rather different connotation. I live in Japan that is not technically Western at all, but very well Westernized.

Funny you put it that way because it sounds very Japanese to me. Japan always focuses heavily on the physical infrastructure. They meticulously build amazing machines, bridges and grid systems, but don't know what to do with them.

Fascinating article. I love getting lost in Tokyo too. Here are a couple of tips I could add in case of Tokyo... * All the TV antennas point at Tokyo Sky Tree. * All the regional train tracks (except Yamanote) are radial. They're all g

The biggest threat of AI is not its ability of taking jobs or exterminating mankind, but the amount of distraction it creates. When politicians say they improved the economy like 30%, nobody buys into that. It's an overly exaggerated m

Such as...? Please don't go BS like "Google is an AI app" etc. I'd expect an app where AI is the indispensable component. You can make a decent search engine/camera/phone/car/microwave without AI.

If I was a bad guy, the next thing I'd try would be to diversify my repertoire of popular apps as much as possible. You cannot be too popular to get their attention, still you want to be reasonably popular that the net gain is positive

Maan, I envy the homebrew scenes in the US so much. In Japan there are a few people who're doing homebrew, but because of the constant intimidation by Nintendo and marginalization by the society ("they're technically criminal

Does this matter? We (not just IT people, everyone in the world) always lack the imagination of what could happen, and every time we're caught off guard by the creativity of malicious people. Sometimes a government is to blame, but eve

I tend to think that learning a language is like dieting; it's not a one-time action and there's no end to it. It's a lifetime commitment. That's said, being fluent is often not as important as being well spoken. I'

As a side note, not only one's life is short, but the entire human history is short. I'm over 40 and it struck me that if I repeated my life 50 times it would already go back B.C.! We've invented and developed ALL the things

If something is 95% of the times X, can't we just label the whole thing as X? Just making life simpler. (Actually, my threshold goes even as low as 50% for the case of BS.)

Funny. A similar thing happened in Japan in 90s, when a then-notable search engine goo.ne.jp sued a porn site, goo.co.jp. The search engine won the case.

Can you pick one DP article that seems good to you, please? I won't complain about the article you'll mention. In both OP and your comment, the lack of a concrete example irks me.

I was thinking, is it possible to attach a weird control gizmo to your car and call it autopilot, and blame the device when it crashed? It is not allowed in Japan (where I live) because of the draconian vehicle inspection program, but I gue

I kinda agree with the idea; functional programming turns your program into a series of tubes.

"C language is so simple and powerful that I think it's worth suffering the bad syntax and memory leak just to be more fluent and be able to utilize the machine's power fully." Pick the right tool for the right job, man.

Interesting. I thought plaintext + .tar.gz or .zip format on either FAT or ext2 fs is the best bet for forward compatibility, and anything beyond that is too complex or obscure for future archaeologists. The obvious problem is the searchab

The thing is that nothing is good enough for keeping it for lifetime. A hardware might be broken, a supply might be discontinued and a software maintainer might disappear. You'll need to keep refreshing the data from one device to anot

Excel is reactive already, but its field functions can't have variable bindings or procedural operation as far as I know (unless, of course, you write your own separate VBA function). I sometimes want to write in a complex one-liner an

Question. How this principle can coexist with the idea of "surveillance is bad"? Because that's mostly to collect publicly available information. Is it bad because it's done by a government? It's possible to set up

It would be great for a scripting language, but for field functions I would have preferred something that's more akin to FRP-oriented language (e.g. Scheme).
