It's amazing a notation standard has lasted over 800 years. Does it have a name? I'd love to read about it further.

The thing that always messed me up with relationships in school in Japan is how the class / larger social group would perceive it. There's definitely relationships I didn't pursue because I didn't want to disrupt the har

From the profile, he seems like the type of guy who would have stewed on what gun he would use to kill clandestinely in his free time. I mean he carried a pistol in each pocket on a daily basis.

Randomly found this earlier this year. I loved this course. Making this content available freely to anyone anywhere truly makes a difference. Cheers to Prof. Clarkson!

Class components are great. One thing I did see at my old job, however, was people extending the class components, sometimes 10+ times, which was very unexpected and harder to reason about. With functional components and hooks, you enforce

GalliumOS is awesome, but sadly dead development-wise AFAIK. The public repos haven't been touched since January 2021.

I lived in a Soka Gakkai heavy neighborhood in Tokyo. They tried to recruit me a few times. I've been to their services and social events. It's big thing. They even have offices world-wide, with a few in Cali. Generally while it&#

The syntax is a little unorthodox, but just having a literal syntax _at all_ for things like lists/arrays beats having to call `new` on some random class you have to import and then doing a bunch of in place updates to add all the data

No mention of Japan or Asia. Last I lived there (~10 years ago), business cards were an essential part of almost every business encounter. So, if you do business in Japan (and maybe other East Asian countries), you want business cards. Ther

You certainly can write snappy ergonomic apps that do the SPA thing (the server/client scheme you mentioned). It is very popular for consumer facing apps. Unfortunately SPA's are a little bit more complicated, and it sounds like t

I can't speak to the UK, but in the US, the term nazi gets thrown around a lot. For example, the Left calls Right nazis and Right calls the Left nazis, etc. As such, it's hard for me, and I'd imagine a lot of HN users, to con

Kind of an aside, but any one have a clue why those Haskell benchmarks are so slow? In my experience Haskell is relatively fast, so there must be some caveat that these test cases are hitting.

Yea I almost mentioned it as I have that phone. Perhaps it's a happy medium, but to me it's just a step in the right direction, and I'd love to see the concept pushed further.

I don't understand why phones aren't just designed to have a replaceable shell as a first class piece of their design system, so we're not forced to buy random clunky junk to wrap around our phones. The value prop of a case i

Conspicuously missing are any references to Detective Story--a Japanese detective show from the early 80's. From my understanding reading about the series and watching both shows, Cowboy Bebop is basically a riff on that show, but in s

Chaining is one way of making function composition more ergonomic, but there are others. Functional languages tend to have an operator (e.g. |> in Elixir. Think x |> f() |> g() |> h() |> i(), etc.) that gives the same benefit

Disruptive gatherings of rebellious youths is definitely a thing in East Asia. In my day, they'd have been on scooters or low CC motorcycles and making a LOT of noise. Not sure what the kids ride these days.

I see this more for entertainment on public transportation, waiting rooms, etc. for short 10-20 minute spurts. Holding your phone in front of your face is similarly uncomfortable, but we all do it.

In my experience, scaling RoR is totally doable, but very tricky, as the both language and associated frameworks are very terse, opaque and by default seem to do the thing that does _not_ scale well. Because of all this magic, you have to b

Unfortunately Elixir just doesn't have the network effects of Ruby. Ruby support (libraries, SDKs, first class integrations) and popularity (ability to hire effective devs) is just an order of magnitude or more higher than Elixir. I sa
