I'd say that video games will be the next social media (if they aren't already). When they created Twitters and Facebooks, they've never imagined that one day their platform will be a highly politicized. Similarly, people hav

There are two solutions to this: Eating less for lunch is one, taking an afternoon nap is another. I'm taking the latter one. I eat lunch at 1pm in normal days, and my sleepiness usually kicks in around 2pm. Then I take a 15-min power

What's more interesting to me is the fact that people are still sticking to this idea of expressing one's intelligence with one number. Just one. Using IQ as the degree of intelligence is like using one's weight or blood pres

I think there's information asymmetry here. Do you think that many Chinese people know that in nearly all developed countries there's a lot of dissatisfaction and (public) vocal opposition to their own government? It's reason

It is interesting that they chose to control Facebook instead of calling it a monopoly and splitting it into two, because it's their interest to have a choke point that they can conveniently go after. Apple is big and they provide e2e

I think Haskell is conceptually cool, but I just can't stand its symbols and grammars. To me, "=>" means comparison and "|" means an OR, and I'm cringed to see $s and \s in a program code that makes it look

I've just found this site fascinating and also learned that they were shutting down as of Aug. 7. Very sad.

While I'm no investor or anything, there's one life-y takeaway from this article: diversify your areas of interests. Take as many bets as possible. I've always been working on it.

A few minor things missing in OP (mostly CJK related) - Code point is sometimes not enough to determine the glyph. For example, U+5199 must look different in Simplified Chinese and Japanese. Typically this is handled by using different font

Although this is technically true, being creative/original and being academically successful might not be the same thing. There still will be a genius discovered in wild, but an institutionalized effort might make the discovery process

My mom was in a high school abacus club back then. When she told me a story that she went to a tournament as a part of the school team, my response was "what the heck is an abacus competition!?" Competitive abacus is already quai

It feels that the article demonstrates, by and large, the law of diminishing marginal utility is still at work in research communities, which makes sense. At some point you should call it a day and do something else.

As with most software engineering tools and practices, the context matters. I'd imagine that TDD is good when you know exactly what the requirement that the project has. i.e. TDD is good in the implementation phase but not the design p

This isn't a criticism of OP but my general thoughts about a new programming language project. I think that every new language should show one thing that the language can do well, wheres other languages can't; in other words, we

This is an old argument. In the engineering world, it's been long known as SPOF (single point of failure). SPOF exists in many forms. It can be a physical part but can be protocols or people's beliefs. Google is kind of a SPOF for

Frankly I'm a little bored at these "quit social media" articles. They look sort of all the same to me. Quitting altogether is simple, because there's only one way to do it; quitting altogether. Moderation, on the other

Yeah. This is the day that I miss Jobs and his opinionatedness.

I just don't understand what he would gain from the anonymous donation. Tax deduction? Even for the tax purposes the name of a donor has to be matched with a certain record, right? I probably sounds too naive but I want to know.

Although I agree with your sentiment, just preaching it wouldn't change them. That's the real problem that we need to discuss. And we're yet to know how to systematically educate ourselves and our colleagues to prevent a simi

To me this doesn't look a very good guideline. It's needlessly verbose and unintuitive. Instead of writing a long sprawling list of things, just using bullet points and figures would be better. It mentions the importance of gettin

I can imagine that a law could be made to mandate car manufacturers or dealers or rental companies to list all the possible failure scenarios that cars might not work properly, and present the drivers some warning labels or sort. It shouldn

Doujin works organically grew underground before the internet era. I think the sole reason that doujin work is now somehow tolerated is that they're not minority anymore. They're big enough to gain public acknowledgement, but if a

This is cool and illegal. What makes me envy of the West (or countries other than Japan in general) is that this kind of attempt is somewhat condoned and praised, while in Japan there would be a vocal outcry and finger-pointing campaign (wi

I tend to think that handwriting tells a lot about one's upbringing and educational backgrounds. I was born left-handed but my parents forced me to use the right hand to write letters (a common practice in Japan at the time). I always

Although this isn't exactly blocking, I tend to use Reader View a lot these days. I installed an extension that allows to force using it for any page, and I wish that FF made it default.

I think the recurring theme is whether every individual is strong enough to deserve truth and freedom. I'm a West-leaned person so I want to believe yes, but empirically I know this is not the case for many (perhaps myself included!),

I think that we could add some random (i.e. pure luck) factor for evaluation. Although this may sound unfair, almost all optimization problems do this, be it natural or man-made. Evolution does this by adding random gene mutation, and machi

It is a common misconception (dare I say prejudice) that gestures are "universal" and therefore easy to learn/unify sign languages. Sign languages are a full-fledged natural language with nuances and complexities, just like s
