Dude is 30 and thinks he is in a position to give out life advice... I'm 37 and nothing is figured out. Maybe wait another 30 years.

Inko is Japanese for 'parrot'. Although it can also mean 'obscenity' which came to mind...

Hacker News isn't really representative of humanity as a whole. It is a very thin slice of intelligent and creative but also cynical and pedantic people with low empathy and emotional intelligence. That is not a value judgement, that i

Surely it's even worse, because it's available 24/7 wherever you are, instead of being somewhere you have to physically visit.

I hated you for making me earworm barbie girl but I gave it a strong orchestral resolution and it went away. Thanks for the tip!

People who aren't pitch perfect will rarely sing a song it its original key, so Google likely handle that.

Same for me, the Ryzen GPU is good enough to run recentish games at 1080p 30fps which is great, and avoids the bugginess of a discrete GPU setup.

Up until the most recent Intel gen, Ryzen has been the clear leader in both battery life and integrated graphics, blowing Intel away. Pretty much any internet forum will advise you to buy AMD for the T series.

Or ~£1000 for a Ryzen 7 32GB 2TB T14s Gen 3 if you buy your own SSD (saving £200+) and drop Windows (~£80).

Definitely there will be cases where it makes sense. But intuition would suggest if your servers are say 80% idle then serverless functions would be cheaper, but that isn't actually the case. Cloud companies don't incur much of a

It depends how games use it. Spiderman 2 for example uses raytracing for reflections which are very important in New York (glass buildings, water, cars) and even uses it to draw rooms inside the skyscraper as you are climbing them. It'

Yeah I always reserve a seat, as that is required if you have large luggage. Luggage in the subway is not really a problem in my experience, it's the same as one extra person going with you.

by rjh29 3y ago
I did consider that, the other factor is Japanese people travel for smaller periods of time so maybe carry tiny suitcases instead of the (multiple) huge ones you see foreigners carry.

It's far more common for foreigners to carry luggage on the trains in my experience. Especially on the subway.

The coin laundry in APA and similar is 600yen... The main issue is those small dryers take an hour to do what a proper coin laundry dryer can do in 20 minutes.

Fair, I have a large suitcase and it fit overhead. I've also never had trouble reserving the space and I've also put the luggage in front of me with no issue. Our definition of medium size may differ :)

The shinkansen has plenty of space for luggage. The overhead space will hold even a fairly large suitcase, and there are luggage racks and dedicated luggage space behind the rearmost seats. Finally you can just put it in front of your seat

Yet I never see Japanese people with luggage on trains, whether that be an airport train or the subway. I'm pretty sure everyone takes a taxi or an airport bus when they have luggage.

At least in Japan many of the hotels I use will only hold your bags for the same day (check-in or check-out day), not overnight or longer.

by rjh29 3y ago
If you are going by taxi/uber, sure. Although you will need to drop off the luggage there before going on with your day, instead of immediately starting your travel-y stuff. If you're going by train, the train from the airport to

Carrying a backpack will make your back stronger, you don't "save" it by using a wheeled suitcase unless you already have a health condition. Ideally the backpack will have a strap to go along your chest for stability. Pretty

I understand why it could be selection bias. Let's say there are 100 open source projects with openly hostile communication. Only Linux succeeds. You can't point to Linux as proof that hostile communication results in success base

Perl for one-liners is extremely common. It was built with that in mind.

Prior to Perl most text processing was done with unix pipelines and awk/sed/C. So Perl allowed people to stop writing C and also stop using lots of separate programs to do one thing. Many of the awk constructs survive in Perl such

Just use Perl for one-liners. It's more powerful than sed/awk but it does pretty much everything those do.
