I think this is more of an adult's problem. The transition from kids to teens and adults is awkward everywhere, but it's particularly bad in Japan, as they're pretty much coerced and funneled into the workaholic (and misogyni

The frustrating issue is that they don't state in what situation . I'm certain that most people will just do fine with only 100 kanji characters for daily life, or no kanji at all if they're just a tourist. But if you'r

No disrespect to actual security experts, but here are the four common areas where a lot of dubious/questionable "pros" can pop up: - Health experts - Education specialists - Productivity gurus - Security specialists

Re: Openness. I think what ultimately matters to most consumers (including techies) is stability. This includes a) continuous accessibility over time (say, for 30 years) and b) consistent usability / compatibility / affordability

I write HN comments somewhat regularly (like once a week), but my approach to it is more or less a "note to self". I use the comments to mostly describe my observations and thoughts. It's pretty much a monologue. When I'

You can do that (or worse) in C too. #define LABEL1 LABEL2 Is there any language that can be worse than a macro and #ifdef-ridden C? I'm only half joking.

I always thought that this cause should also include "greed". But then, greed is kinda one step closer to malice, and I'm not sure if there's a line.

I attempted to read the first section expecting that this is something that reduces the complexity of software design, and I'm completely lost here. They don't really explain what is data-oriented design in a single summed up pa

Actually, I was a big fan of MH. But it's quite old and full of gotchas. It doesn't have decent search functions either. Also I'd like to have something written in a modern scripting language (Python, JS, etc), as I don'

I, for one, want a pure command line based email client, not just a TUI client, that is well integrated with bash/zsh in an everyday use, e.g. $ inbox (shows the first 10 emails in the inbox) $ search from:john (shows

I'm mildly offended by the casual use of the word "wizard" here - I don't believe that they actually exist. I'm not American, but I tend to think that assuming the existence of wizards or geniuses is fundamentally U

As a non-native English speaker, I'd be curious of how an old person would say that in English. "I'm like..." is such a convenient phrase that I can't think of any other replacement that sounds equally natural and s

Also, news sites should let the readers know if an article has been altered since it's published. Time and time again, I've seen some news sites (some of them are even reputable ones) silently modified an article without changing

The thing is that those headphones are the opposite of noise cancelling (because it is open). But that's the whole point - I want to be aware more of my surroundings than my music, especially when you're in a public space. If you

I wonder how good it is with wide width characters (in CJK languages). Handling them in a terminal is rather tricky, and I haven't seen anything that's good except ones that are developed by the actual users of the language.

Traditionally, all Japanese buildings were made of wood, probably due to the abundance of materials (75% of the land is still forest even today). But wooden houses didn't last long because of its monsoon climate with a lot of rainfall

I'm not quite following the article. Why can't people build a duplex like that today? Which part of it is illegal? I think it has something to do with a zoning law, but I'm not very familiar with the concept. (I live in Tokyo

A bigger problem to me is Google's search bias and subtle manipulation. The same goes for Facebook's news curation algorithm. These things can directly impact our democracy, yet it's much harder to tackle or even investigate,

I think OO can work because in many problems we only focus on one thing at a time. If multiple objects with equal complexity/importance are involved, OO can get sticky (e.g. which object should invoke a method, etc). I think Joe's
