In the title, "limit" is used as a verb, not a noun. In other words, Boeing pushed to reduce the required amount of safety testing, in order to certify their planes faster.

I think these are more like the basic rules of the game, rather than an official league rulebook. Like any other sport, additional rules would be needed for organized play, and those could vary from league to league. For example, no one wil

That does make sense in a way, but I don't think that would feel natural to any native Japanese speaker. I'm not native and even I would find that ordering very odd. At the very least, it would make the sorting algorithm a lot mor

For those who want to know more about this: The article touches on just the tip of the iceberg. You might think that all you need to do is add an extra field for phonetic readings, and then simply sort on that field, but there are a lot of

You're confusing spelling (using the alphabet) with spelling (using hiragana/katakana). In Japanese, spelling IS the same as saying it. きゆ and きゅ are pronounced differently because they're spelled differently (notice the size

Isn't the fact that societies change part of what nostalgia is? Sure, the internet and social media has contributed heavily to changes in taste and modes of consumption, much like television and motion pictures (and video games!) befor

I agree with you that the output of the 90s represents an identifiable period in Japanese pop culture, but don't agree with the original sentiment of things having necessarily "stagnated" since then. There may be an argument,

It's probably not talked about much because I don't think many people agree that all those things peaked in the 90s, outside of some sense of nostalgia. Objectively, all of the cultural outputs you mentioned have continued to grow

You must be thinking of さ instead of さあ. The latter is often used to express "I don't know" or "who knows".

No, I’m clock. As you can see, my sed skills aren’t as good as tails :) Now that I’m 10 bytes behind I might have to give it another try. Though I haven’t golfed in years :/ EDIT: Well, I checked my old code and found a few places to o

For reference, here’s a code golf challenge for maze solving. It’s an “endless” challenge (meaning none of the code submissions are viewable) but the shortest sed solution is currently 98 bytes. http://golf.shinh.org/p.rb?ma

It’s not as surprising when you realize that the problem allows reflections of the shape, removing the need for a symmetrical cover. There are lots of lopsided shapes that will barely fit on one side but leave room on the other. With an asy

This is an amazing site! I haven't really gotten into ukiyo-e but this is so great for exploration and discovery. I think there are a lot of other genres/topics as well that I would love to have a site like this. I appreciate the

I think you’re greatly mistaken in your assumptions. Harvard would suffer much greater damage to their reputation if they honored a fake acceptance email. To my knowledge, no university has ever honored a fake (physical) acceptance letter e

HTTPS is not just about preventing eavesdropping of private data; it is also about preventing MITM and data tampering. I agree that from your perspective, you might see no benefit, but the HTTPS push is primarily for the users (and as a res

I remember this too so I looked it up. It was Wakie, but it seems that they’ve de-emphasized the wake-up call aspect. Here’s an article from 2014: https://techcrunch.com/2014/12/10/wakie/

Among the operators you know, how much emphasis is there on story writing? In my experience, the most enjoyable games (in Japan) are the ones with rich stories that tie in well with the puzzles. However, I get the impression that outside Ja

How good is your Japanese? There are a ton of games in Tokyo, but if you can't read/speak Japanese your choices will be limited. In any case, ideally you should go with people you know, since communication will be important. First

Just to clarify, “Trials of Bahamut” is produced by the Japan-based company SCRAP. Although they do a lot of original games, they also do a lot of collaborations with major franchises, including the Bahamut game (Final Fantasy) and the Zeld

Is there anyone here who is greatly familiar with the overall scene/industry in the U.S.? I’m heavily into the scene in Tokyo and I’d love to compare notes. Based on articles like this one, I sense there are a lot of differences, but I

Legalizing human experimentation in this manner would result in it being counted as employment (e.g. for tax purposes). Meanwhile, unemployed people risk losing their benefits if they refuse a job offer. So depending on how these jobs are t

According to JETRO’s 2017 report, in terms of domestic e-commerce, Amazon had a 20.2% market share in 2016, compared to Rakuten’s 20.1%. [1] This is not a monopoly per se, but 20% of the market is too big for any business to ignore, giving

It isn’t about buildings collapsing, it’s about doors getting stuck, so I’m not sure what relevance the Triangle of Life has here.

Small earthquakes are common enough in Japan that many people will just brush them off. My personal reaction to anything 4 or less on the intensity scale is just to stand/sit still. Basically, if it’s not strong enough to trigger the e

Yes, there have been cases of people getting trapped in rooms/buildings due to doors getting bent or warped, so it’s common advice in Japan to prop open a door to secure yourself an exit.

Not sure if it will work for your use case, but you can also CNAME the _acme-challenge record to a different domain (or a subdomain with a separate zonefile), dedicated only to authorizing certificates.

In fact, this particular article is by a foreigner - Jake Adelstein, an American who has been reporting on the yakuza and Japanese police for a long time now. He’s written for a lot more outlets than just the Japan Times as well.

Just as an anecdote, I know of at least one person in my company who uses it, without being anywhere near a professional typist. I suspect older generations may be much more likely to use it. In any case, even though mostly everyone prefers

Personally I prefer remi because package names are kept the same, making it easier to upgrade. With IUS, the version is part of the package name (i.e. "yum install php71"), which tends to make maintenance and configuration messier
