The MS dev blog main page says "Get the latest information, insights, announcements, and news from Microsoft." . That sentence means these are "corporate announcements". But if I work with Java again I'll at least g

Not all the restrooms in here in Japan are squeaky clean. Some of the busy Tokyo train station ones are stinky and sticky from urine that splashed on the floor. I have seen some restrooms where the cleaning crew just comes in with a hose an

Considering you are working with Python here is my personal experience and of course YMMV. I use SpaceMacs as my daily driver (never had the want for doom emacs). And programming python was good. I had no "problems" to speak of an

Here's another way of looking at this. After WWII and other events the amount of salt in the Japanese diet had gone down. This reduced all kinds of problems associated with high salt diets. Many things (soy sauce, pickles, dried meat)

My high school had it as required reading (over summer vacation). I was never a big reader to begin with so this book along with others (Jude the Obscure, A Separate Peace) have always been in a bad light for me in my mind (I guess having a

I've seen many hunt and peckers (mostly older adults 55+ who never had a reason to type daily [computers, typewriters, etc.] and younger people <18 [cellphones]). For older adults it makes sense they use the hunt and peck method bec

On my personal project Rails' magic was okay because it simple. However, in my work I have found Rails projects written by really knowledgable Ruby users to be difficult to understand. More than likely it tends to be overuse of dynamic

This year I want to focus on transitioning to being a remote developer. Due to the corona virus I have been given the opportunity to be remote but I am finding I might as well be remote because my commute is long and most of the details I n

This quote is insane. I guess she doesn't like hospital food or was really hungry.

The syphilis thing is true. I've watched a few NHK health programs teaching Japanese people what syphilis looks like because most don't know how to ID it. Also, I have had doctors just look at me, feel my throat and look into my e

I do not do HIIT training but I have athlete's heart. I run almost everyday 2 miles (more on the weekends). I am not a fast runner by any stretch of the imagination (I average around 10k/h while running). My heart rate varies from

When I didn't have access to a car I did use the Metro bus in Houston. The place I was going to was about 5 mins by car (10 mins in traffic). The closest bus stop was about a mile's walk from my house. The actual bus ride was quic

I remember when light rail was proposed. The thing that got me at the time was it was a single line and it went a very short distance (the goal was to have people not park in downtown if I remember because downtown Houston is a pain to park

My recommendations are Go or Python depending on your geographic market. In my area Python is there but not really desired where as Go is plastered everywhere. I personally haven't seen much in terms of Rust being a skill employers are

Where do they get new XP machines? I guess there are sellers out there with NOS machines but that has to be a heck of a racket. For me the most valuable VM was one that ran Vista because it needed a certain compiler at a certain version tha

Personally I have never experienced a random stop here in Japan. None of my friends here have worried about such either.

This the current language I have been trying to learn lately. I think the hardest part to learning it has been finding good sources that teach it. Is the word order the part that you marvel at or something else? For me, it has been the simp

This behavior drives me nuts. I'll be like 3 minutes into reading and, bam, a modal popup blocks out what I was reading and I have to click it away. The ones that really make me angry are when I move towards the back button and show a

Sometimes companies just don't understand a role that well. Maybe the last UI/UX person they had was initially a UX person that turned UI and so they think you need more of one than the other. I can't count the number of time

I would really like to be able to apply for this position but I don't meet the GS-13 requirement I bet. If they called me tomorrow to do this job for $76K a year I would do it (assuming moving expenses were paid for). The thing that ge

I think many people don't hear this enough. Eye exams can catch things and since a lot of the people I know get a good 4~6 years out of their glasses it makes since to get an exam when replacing them. Sure, exams might cost time/m

I think most tend to want dark mode because as humans a sea of white or some off shade of white requires so much attention from our brains to constantly scan/identify things that stand out (much like a blinking red button). I try to us

I am always left with a weird sense of "what?" when I run into something MySQL does that I wasn't expecting. I find MariaDB to do even more weird optimizations that have led to some long debug sessions to find out what it was
