Uh, how much is it actually? (Simple searching didn't seem to get me the answer.) We should have a list of these things.

I'd love to see a similar approach to CS-related topics. We don't know how to solve many security problems (key delivery, etc). We don't know what exactly makes a good user interface (many psychological/natural/soci

The other day I realized that a man-made law is also a bit like mathematics or computer software. It is carefully designed and constructed. Ideally, it is intended to work like a machine with as little room for human discretion as possible.

These people were saying silly things publicly and they should expect some backlash. Of course any extreme behavior is bad, but I don't know how this is the root of all racism, bigotry, sexism, etc. In this case they are judged by thei

It's sad that they had to "ban" them instead of having the community boycott/ridicule/shun the repo. The latter would be a healthier approach.

Recent resurgence of the "national pride" thing. The forced reinterpretation of the Constitution. Unreasonable hatred towards neighboring countries (China and Korea in particular). And worst of all, we aren't taught anything

Oh my goodness. I am reading this at work and I am crying (sorry, boss). Partly because of the story itself, but also because of the realization that Japan (which I happen to be a citizen of) has learned very little since then. Thanks for s

Reminds me of that "the more you stray from the path, the closer you get to Zen" thing. I stopped thinking of software technology in terms of technologies, but rather tried to think it as a means to help other people. I might be b

Has software technology gotten much advanced in the last 20 years yet? It became a lot bigger, yes, and now we have GC or type inference if you're lucky. But I'd be still afraid of writing a mission-critical part of software as we

[off topic] What's really conservative in Corporate Japan is its lifetime employment system, and even Nintendo isn't immune from that. The entire society is gridlocked in that assumption and it will probably take a national upheav

To me, what's really great is the feel of independence. When I do chores (or any work really) I'm always thinking like "Look, Ma - I can do this on my own!" even when nobody around is watching me. I guess the feeling tha

I have to confess. I consider myself a passionate programmer. I love coding. I believe that I'm changing the world by coding and I'm communicating with the users through the UI design. And yet I can only code for two hours maximum

As far as I remember, the term "Net-cafe Refugee" was already common in early 2000s, but I feel that Japan hasn't done much to reduce the number of them (in a good way). And we were too busy paying attention to more sensation

I think empathy needs several things. But above all, it needs one's brain power, or smartness. In my understanding, empathy is pretty much a skill to emulate the other person's thinking. There's a discussion about Kolmogorov

This is great. Now, how can I get to see this movie here in Tokyo? It doesn't look like any screening is planned in Japan, and most people here don't seem to care the issue.

Thank you for an excellent argument. I actually agree with you overall, and indeed I don't think Japan is an egalitarian society at all. However, I don't think the financial egalitarianism necessarily implies the status quo mental

As a Japanese programmer who's terribly paid according to the many American fellow programmers, I have to defend this practice. Why an engineer has to be paid, say, like three times than janitors? Because of the markets. Not because th

Nah. Many small firms and tech-oriented startups are much more casual and often liberal too, so no worry. I (as a native Japanese) work for a small tech company in Tokyo. The workplace is pretty friendly and negotiable. I bike to my work an

There's a speculation that he was suffering from mental fatigue, and I think it is right. More than anything like keeping the honor/face, this seems the most likely cause that killed him. A thing that people outside Japan often do

Eh, most Japanese people don't know/care about the problem of Han unification. It's mostly because of the legacy data. The thing is that ASCII and UTF-8 is kinda compatible with minor annoyances, while Shift JIS and UTF-8 are

I tend to see the past 10 years or so of the Web as a great irony for accessibility. It looked like finally a gospel to blind users who could get a nicely structured textual information. In reality, so many websites are simply broken to the

Some of the mistakes mentioned in OP (#1, #3, and #4) can be automatically caught by tools like PyLint (and to lesser extent, Pyflakes), as well as good unittests.

I had a similar experience as the OP years ago. Luckily, the attacker forgot to erase a bash history so I could recover almost all the command lines. It seems that most of these operations were pretty standardized; they first downloaded a b
