I ate at this sushi-ya two days ago. The chef genuinely cares about his craft and will direct you on how to eat the sushi and when to drink sake. It was a great experience trying to speak to him in my broken Japanese with the help of his

In foreign languages with a polite form of "You" (such as French or German), there is an additional question: should a website use the polite of familiar form. And it's widely accepted that a website should use the polite form.

As it was stated before, it's not a 10^-12 seconds camera, it's a very short pulse laser cleverly synchronized with a very short span camera. This experiment would not work with a moving object for instance. It still has interesting applica

Little background here (I'm French and grew up in Paris): MacDonald's branding in France are really different in France than it is in the US, especially in Paris. Food is quite tasty, meat is fairly good, and even the colors are different:

Recently we got to this in Paris: https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/396654_... Quick translation: it's a 3.16 square meters (34 square feet) flat on sale in the 10th district in Paris.

Elegant solution, but it's not possible if you bundle/minify all your scripts in one giant file, as more and more do.

I listen to electrohouse everyday. I'm not that into dubstep and I tend to not like it outside of coding, but it puts you into the zone pretty quickly, kind of like if the techno rythm stopped you from thinking normally. For those intereste

While I agree with you, the sysadmin would be able to provide evidence of specific actions that prevented something bad happening. TSA has made zero arrest related to terrorism so far. Plus quoting the end of the article : He said that the

That "63 years" comes out of nowhere and does not means anything. Those 800m users combined have more than 2 millions years "per day". They spend way more time brushing their teeths. For just a second spent, "liking" something on Facebook s

I have read here comments along the lines of "Anyone doing that would be evil, but here it's Google. So it's OK. Google would never do any harm" (it was a post about privacy) The "Google is evil" trend may be an overreaction to those commen

I agree with that, it is quite similar to what they did with youtube and the unbearing amount of ad that one has to endure before watching a video now, after 5 years+ of making it available free of annoyance.

To respond to the last sentence : Yes, things like that can be illegal. As an example, in France it is forbidden to count the number of people who get in & out of a subway at a given station. I guess it's really a strong difference of c

Is Pilgrim the attention whore ? Can you elaborate on why it was a good move to censor the stories ? I'm really confused by this story. Also, jonathantneal, why is your name showing up green ?

This introduction is excellent, it's aimed at programmers who wants to get a first and painless overview on how Objective-C is coded and how to read Objective-C code. It gives you all the subtleties of the language, compared to the other (t

I agree a lot with this, I think the very first employees may get high percentage of shares for half salaries, but very fast employees should just get regular salaries (& benefits if possible)
