This is done by default in Japan. Most long books are sold as different volumes, parts, etc. At first I didn't really like it (especially because you'd have to buy both Vol.1 and 2 for the whole thing), but it makes sense if you&#

They got a warning that the fuel transfer system was damaged, so they decided not to use it, I think.

I think it's pretty simple - there's just so much more open source PHP code out there in the LLM's training dataset. Swift has been around for much less, and most Swift is closed-source - not that many years have passed since

I thought this too. If they're using the camera to do brightness, it needs to be on when the user isn't using it - if the activity LED is tied to the camera power rail (not sure if it is), it might look like there's something

They say "error-free connection", which implies 2-way communication, right?

I'm still pre-launch, but I've attended (and presented at) a couple conferences / industry events for my SaaS in Japan. You can get a lot of traction by getting out there and actually talking to people. Networking is importan

Humans can work with these cases better though because they have access to better memory. Next time you see "iteration_count", you'll know that it actually has a sum, while a new AI session will have to re-discover it from sc

Yeah, it's named after the person who wrote the RFC - John Nagle. Wild coincidence! https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc896

Yeah. It used to be the go-to for starting simple projects. We have quite a bit of other options in this space now, though - GH Pages, Cloudflare workers, Vercel, Netlify, etc etc...

They're saying that you have 3 banks of lights, each connected to one phase of the 3 phase input. That way, when only 1 bank goes out, it's easy to see that one phase is out.

I was thinking more on the lines of "if marine life never found itself stranded on land, it wouldn't need to evolve to survive on the land"

Was just rereading - it was the radioactivity and the large natural satellite that was unique in his universe. Tides are interesting because once you have life in the oceans, it's a kind of forcing function to adapt to land conditions

Maybe - but in this case, Ruby is written in C, it uses C extensions when performance matters, but tooling for the Ruby language itself is all in Ruby. Rust isn't replacing the use of C in the core of Ruby (yet) - it's stepping in

I find it interesting how Rust is gaining momentum in tooling like uv and now rv.

Simulated a RAG, and it still gets it pretty wrong. > The tallest mountains on Earth, in descending order: 1. Mount Everest, 8849m 2. K2, 8611m 3. Kangchenjunga, 8586m > Tell me the second tallest mountain on Earth. The second tallest

The IME problem was the only thing keeping me on "legacy" X11 a couple years ago. Is it still the same today?

LISTEN/NOTIFY was always a bit of a puzzler for me. Using it means you can't use things like pgbouncer/pgpool and there are so many other ways to do this, polling included. I guess it could be handy for an application where y

No, it was just the name of the person who started the company. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soichiro_Honda Lots of Japanese companies are like this. See also Toyota.

Me too -- actually, I'd say that the LLMs I use these days (Sonnet 4 and GPT4.1, o4, etc) are pretty good at rust.

Japan publishes new CRSes after large earthquakes to account for drift. The M9 earthquake in 2011 recorded a maximum shift of 5 meters!

What were some other problems you ran in to when putting OSM in to ES? (I've had this thought before too, I'm curious why/how you did it)

Adresses are notoriously hard, and it varies from country to country, and even within countries. I've been working on Japanese address data, and while you may be able to trust Google with an address in the city, there's a large pr

Also the surface area of IPv6 is huge, it just takes so much time to scan everything. It's not security, but it's a deterrent.

I actually tried doing this a couple weeks ago. Rust on Cloudflare Workers. It didn't go well -- compiling to wasm disables a lot of Rust features, to the point where it just didn't make sense anymore. I gave up after trying to ge

A taxi from Otsuki (the station mentioned in the article) to even Hachioji (another station that's famous for being "the last stop") would take over an hour and cost >20,000JPY. At that point it's cheaper to get a hot

PON uses passive splitters to allow multiple access -- you can't disconnect a fibre at the office without also taking down the neighborhood you're sharing the physical fibre with. The article, as I understand it, is how it's

This reminds me of when I took my drivers' license test in Japan -- they'll do an eye exam including whether you can recognize the colors. The first color was this weird mix between blue and green, and when the administrator asked

It looks like the site itself is a tool, to figure out what kind of lock you want to use / debug.
