I can't help but wonder how many people had this kind of account suspension for random reasons? I bet most of them aren't noticed. These people should be more vocal, because regular folks just have no idea how risky to rely on jus

UML (as ERD) is used by the official IT certification in Japan. So yes, some of us still have to learn it. cf. https://www.jitec.ipa.go.jp/1_04hanni_sukiru/mondai_kaitou_2...

This sounds a good idea. But one of the highest reader-rated comments of the article is intriguing to me: Anna - Pittsburgh 11 hours ago ... But, this whole article just oozed misogyny. The casual dismissal of mothers and the

This reminds me of a similar story about being nice. It has nothing to do with software development but I want to share this anyway. I was in Seattle and I took a public bus. The fee was $1. It was my second day in the US and I didn't

Again, the root problem, which is universal, is the concentration of power. One company or group or place has so much power for everything in the world, and regulating them has been always the central problem of the human society. But alas,

This is arguably better than Microsoft/Apple/Google's strategy: send all the diagnostic data and then crash the system.

I recently found that every programmer has to discover what it is like to create a new exciting thing and watch it fades into obscurity. i.e. Life is all about reinventing your own wheel.

> ANA (the largest airline in Japan) Just nitpicking here but for marketing-wise, I think this is a rather unwise wording. ANA is one of the two biggest airline companies in Japan, but they only became so in 2014, and it's fairly qu

Applying machine learning to any industry. Here's a checklist that I just came up with: Step 1. Pick an industry. Any industry. Step 2. Find a problem that can be formulated as a function. Step 3. Is that function non-trivial?

Here we go again, I'm learning yet another "Japan is weird/oddly advanced" thing from a non-Japanese source... I believe all Westerners want Japan to be weird and perverted. ALL of them.

To me (a non-expert) it feels that we have the same problem as land use. Vast unused lands are just sitting there fenced, while some other parts of the town is crazy crowded. Of course, IP address might not have the same physical boundaries

I heard about microservices about a year ago, and now it said the hype has ended before I even noticed? Admittedly I'm not in the loop, and it's hard to track all the trends from outside.

Does this support VoiceOver and some sort of Sound API? I occasionally teach blind kids programming. Sometimes it takes an hour to just navigate them through an unfamiliar setup with a screen reader. If this can be used by a blind person, i

I think the problem here is to leave decisions about what's good/bad ads to other people (e.g. EasyList). I believe blocking technology itself is a user's right and should be allowed, but deciding what's good/bad fo

From the article: "If you don't know how compilers work, then you don't know how computers work." I still don't understand how JIT compilers work, which is probably the majority of compilers that I'm using toda

I've been saying that ML is much like alchemy than science. They've pretty much given up to understand the underlying mechanism because it's so complex, but that doesn't stop them experimenting because they still get som

Yeah yeah, this all makes sense until you see 品, which isn't "a three-mouthed monster" but "goods". Languages are weird, man.

When I taught Python, the way I explained was that a tuple is basically one value, shrinkwrapped. It's one value so that you can put anywhere that expects a value (such as a return value or a key of a dictionary). Also it's one va

Pro tip: When you travel Japan and want to save money, don't buy stuff at 7-11s (except its 100-yen coffee which is a good deal, IMO). I'm always fascinated by the logistics side of a convenience store. They micromanage everything

So this clearly shows that boys are much better at math than girls. Period. Or not. Sometimes I wonder if these competitions (or the real Olympics games for that matter) lead to a more racial/social prejudice, rather than diminishing t

What you probably don't know is that America is a very big and complex country. It's so big that you can love one part and hate the other part at the same time. It's so complex that even its government is not entirely a singl

Let's ask a rhetorical question: Who'd use this kind of information? My answer: It's mostly search/listing apps. The biggest merit of tagging/parsing for now is that you can search the sentences who might possibly

I'll copy a Bruce Schneier's quote and say "Software is a process, not a product." It's no surprise that there's no such thing as perfect code because code is mere reflection of a real-life requirement, which i

Fun (though unverifiable) fact: No one reads Inazo Nitobe, or that "Hagakure" thing in today's Japan. It looks like these are mostly for Westerner's consumption. "Bushido" today is often taken as some weird&#x2

As for testing a prospective programmer, what I consider an ideal test would be something like this: 1. Pick the three most important lines out of this 100 lines of code. 2. Explain why they're important to those who're not famili
