As a person who just returned from Tokyo and sometimes plays with traditional jazz bands, I’m going to say Tokyo has a great atmosphere and thirst for jazz but rarely did I ever hear anything comparable to New York or New Orleans. It’s not

Kuro5hin[1] was great. The blog “A coder in courier land” [2] led me to become a bike messenger for a few years during the housing market crisis (or be laid off). It put life in perspective and eventually made me a better developer (after r

If you live in Tokyo, you know that the statue of Hachiko-san is the default meeting place / hang out spot for many Tokyoites in Shibuya I don't think there's any conscious symbolism around it today, but I wonder if the trend

I come from small town America and NYC, so I'm jaded. There are a lot of good cops out there who set out with good intentions, but I believe their training is inadequate. In my experience, they do not act as stewards of a community, bu

You are required to show your card to police when they suspect there is a crime. You can refuse by asking if there is a reason to believe there was a crime and if this is a "professional inquiry" If yes, they must provide the reas

Why are you getting hung up on nomenclature? The point of the article is clear. If you feel that using 'microservices' is too trite or "buzzword-y" then that's about you and not the article.

It’s very annoying how it handles backticks via some sort of autocomplete. Questions I ask myself about this: - Why is this not an “opt-in” feature? I could see it being useful for people not acquainted with markdown-like syntax - What PM &
