Curious where PornHub and other sites rank. I always hear how that porn sites are in the top X of all traffics but people don’t talk about due to its nature. I’m always amazed that they have a data science team. It’s not something many woul

You’re going to have to grind Leetcode. Yes, even the dynamic programming problems. You will have to interview for jobs where you will use a language you despise. Maybe even Java. Definitely Javascript. You might need to co

AMC+, which costs $8.99 a month for a subscription, does not run ads. How many of these are there going to be? I don’t want a $200 cable bill but I also don’t want dozens of subscriptions. I’ll subscribe to a few streaming service

About 5 years ago I tore my ACL and had it repaired a few months ago over the the summer. I’ve done a lot of PT rehab over the past few months and my PT mentioned that ice reduces blood flow, heat increases blood flow. It wasn’t so much an

Interesting. My wife worked for APA. I never heard about this before, I’ll have to ask.

I’m not sure about the off the beaten path as general advice. There’s people who will always go off the beaten path because that’s what they do. Getting around and finding things to do in large cities is much easier than rural ones. I love

Niche items are pretty much a miss on Amazon. I buy a lot of things on Amazon but as a hobbyist cook and knife collector something like whetstones are much better purchased at a specialty retailer. I trust a shop like japaneseknifeimports.c

Japanese phones get left out of the conversation because these topics spin into nostalgia and the Western audience doesn’t have any experience with them. Likewise the JP discussion wouldn’t fondly remember all the Nokia variants. On a side

Software has been in cars for a long time but I worry about its pervasiveness, especially as it applies to the lifetime of cars. I have a 1997 car that I keep for sentimental reasons and I like its “rawness” compared to my 2017 daily driver

I’m not sure the Chicago reference but if you’re talking about C++ the Units library is a good option. https://github.com/mpusz/units

If you visit Chicago in the winter, the absolute worst part of the year, you’ll miss what makes Chicago great. The beautiful summers are so great it makes the winters tolerable. For example I always take visitors on a river/lake boat t

Why is it that Google Analytics is often listed in “strictly necessary cookies”? I’ve never known that to be a requirement for handling cookie based seasons or logins.

This is a great topic. I really like that many approachable and accessible (read: non-textbooks) have come out in recent years. Examples like Thorsten Ball’s Writing a Compiler/Interpreter in Go books and Bob Nystrom’s Crafting Interpr

I’ve never taken organic chemistry but I always hated classes where the discussion after getting test results went like this: “Aw man, I got a 40.” “That’s great, most people got 20s, that’s the highest score”

Interesting article! However I hoped to get some recommendations, or at least “it doesn’t matter what you buy”, and maybe some comments on the performance of multi-blade razors. Given that the angle of cut matters is it better to shave cert

The minidisc was for many things right for portable music. The audio quality was great, indistinguishable from CD to me, and any minor detail gets washed out when riding on the train or walking on a street. CDs are great but not a portable

Ah yes, I remember the bulge! I had one with that until getting a Japanese one which had the “gum stick” sized rechargeable battery which eliminated that and say flat.

The Walkman was cool, I had several. Then the Discman. But the coolest of all was MiniDisc—-super slim, ultra portable, indestructible media, no skipping. It was popular in Japan but niche technology in the US. I really wish it caught on. O

I like the idea of concepts, categories, and data but I had trouble seeing how it fits into the traditional knowledge graph structure of tuples that I am used to.

Say you are building an app or service, does anyone have rules of thumb to setting subscription amounts or tier levels? As a consumer I like subscriptions because I can easily calculate, “how much time and effort do I spend doing X, is it w

And after debating gun violence all week with my friends in the wake of the 4th of July shooting in Highland Park I made an example of Japan and it’s low gun violence. Now this happens. Crazy stuff still happens in Japan but it’s usually a

The first edition of this book was a game changer. I still have my hardcopy paperback but haven’t turned to it in years. It’s probably largely out of date but I look at it fondly. Glad to see the material updated with new APIs and Python 3.

42 as well. Once you got a “base” it wasn’t really an issue. And I’d be out all day riding bikes and playing 8 hours a day. Everyone had a farmers tan. That said, I now use sun screen like crazy but it’s mainly about vanity as I confront ag

To me the F-14 wasn’t a matter of fact but just a chance to do a cameo flashback and put Maverick back in his trusty F-14 again. In a movie like this so much is bringing back old cast members. The F-14 being one of them. I also felt the sam

I don’t get it. How do you buy fake sandpaper? Was it on Amazon and you couldn’t feel it?
