I will say the demographic deeply into fashion and those familiar with anime girls doesn't feel like it overlaps too much -- yet. That said, one recent interesting development I saw is VRoid Wear, a collaboration between fashion brands

How come IE7 plunged nearly as severely at the same timing as IE6? Was the banner shown for IE7 too?

I've been there. The containment tank is positively MASSIVE, way more huge than what can be conveyed from those pictures. It took a good 3-5 minutes of walking down stairs just to reach the bottom of the tank floor, and once you'r

The issues mentioned in the video is not new, and has been the case for decades, yet AFAIK there doesn't seem to have been much effort on the US side to adapt at all. The resulting perception is that US automakers don't really wan

Many people were reminded of this machine when they first revealed the groove-in-the-middle design of the original PlayStation 4.

As a Japanese native, it pains me a lot when the westerners come upon linguistic differences like this and start calling them things like "overly odd" or "inferior" as they seem to be doing in the comments here. I can&#x

If there are people present in the same space with identically-appearing names, they are merely given secondary characteristics (be it family names, explicit pronunciations via yomigana, or some other property) to differentiate. How is that

Yes they are all written exactly the same, and the reason it seems so bizarre to you is because you're trying to think of everything in the framing of phonograms, where rule number one is sound and characters are inseparably bound. Sin

Aside from the new combined glyph, One potentially major issue is that the character 令 exists in two locations in Unicode: U+4EE4 and U+F9A8. The latter is a compatibility variant, and depending on the how smart the text processing code use

I'm Japanese, and while I don't exactly suggest doing away with it completely, I don't think it has a place in the vast majority of information processing going on in society today. These Gengō updates force a massive, MASSIV

The namers can publicly claim it to mean one thing while privately intending to be another, of course.

Much like how the lowercase a or g can have multiple appearances in the latin alphabet.

One of the issues I see with looking at science fiction for inspiration is that they are stories first, predictions second - they seem to gravitate towards ideas that make dramaturgical sense. Future technological or societal developments t

Dennou Coil definitely deserves more attention. Way more down to earth than Ghost in the Shell.

How can the clock utilize a 120V 60Hz AC signal when it's only taking power from a 12V DC Adapter?

I'd rather recommend Firefox. With Brave you're still buying into the Blink/Chromium hegemony.

Was about to post this. Budget brand eyewear stores like JINS and Zoff are everywhere, and they provide glasses at around $50-100, eye exam included. I've bought several glasses from JINS over the past decade or so and had no problems

I’m not so sure about that. From a nontechnical users’s point of view, they aren’t entirely shutting down adblockers outright, but merely slightly inconveniencing them - most users will probably migrate to a different, less powerful ad bloc

Those are hollow threats. If you really care, you all really ought to stop using Chrome now , regardless of whether they go through with this. Bitching on forums aren’t going to register on their metrics. Only actually stopping use will.

Wait what? Google changed the Play Services contract? Is there a page or a HN thread with more info?

I wasn't even aware DDG had maps at all since they never once showed up for me. Probably because I am entering Japanese addresses, and their address parser isn't recognizing them as such. As much as I wish to use it, much of DDG h

This (well, actually, I use the simpler Tab Center Redux as I have no need for hierarchical complexity) is the biggest reason I kept using Firefox during its pre-Quantum dark years, still do now, and never once switched to Chrome. Firefox a

Ironically, come over to Japan and you will hardly see a single sign typeset in Choc, or any of the popular wonton fonts[1], anywhere. This is despite the fact Latin text is very commonly used in JP storefronts as decorative elements. The c

Wrote this before and writing again, but DDG is abysmal when it comes to non-English language searches, at least according to my experience with using it in Japanese. I’ve switched to StartPage in places where I can (unfortunately SP isn’t
