I second that recommendation. I've read it twice following a recommendation here on HN and I think it's a great introduction and one of those books that has and will have a great influence on the way I live my life.

I've replayed it recently and I found the world to be magical. I can't see how anyone would call it dreary and dull and I cared about what happened. But to each his own taste.

I've long learned that the status page from AWS is useless, it usually only updates 30-40 minutes after the problem starts (by which time, you've already noticed it) and they will always minimize the problem on the status page...

In Japan, quite a few ATMs would not work during weekends and evenings, I've always speculated that they hired people to sit in the atm and hand over the money. It also would explain why credit card fees are higher when withdrawing mon

Yes, definitely and as I mentioned in another comment, people who are not employed with a full time position will have a lot of difficulties getting a loan from a bank. But, in the case of my ex-coworkers, the difference is significant enou

There's also the fact that people accepting contract positions are at a significant disadvantage regarding banks if they want to get a loan to buy a house. It's considered lower status to not be a seishain. But, on the other hand,

This is gradually changing. I worked for a small Japanese company that eventually went under and if I look at my ex coworkers they are doing well. Some of them became freelancer/consultants and are being paid more than people I know wh

Ok, I thought that Apple would scrub all keys from memory when the computer goes to sleep so that a computer that's asleep would not be vulnerable to the Cold Boot Attack. Seems strange they don't do that? Or would it make waking

In term of patisseries, it's a matter of taste. Patisseries in Japan tend to be less sweet than in France so if, like me, you like them less sweet, then it's difficult to find something as good in France. I agree with the rest of
