In the same spirit, we should once a year spend a day with ourselves blindfolded, or use a wheelchair to understand what is like to be a disabled person.

This article reminds me of my father. After my mother died, he's living alone in my home town. He spend most of his days without talking to anyone, but I know he's keeping a diary. And I'm sure he has a lot of story to tell,

This. I'm always amazed by a skilled taxi driver maneuvering their car at a busy street in Tokyo with bustling pedestrians and bikes, some of them are old and slow and others ignoring traffic lights, just passing them by centimeters. I

Aside from jQuery, I'm just amazed at how good the gov.uk is. They're comprehensive and accessible. Isn't this the pinnacle of government websites? I only wish that our government site (Japan) is half as good.

Hate to be negative, but this new site design of IEEE Spectrum is just abhorrent. It's ad-ridden and there's an infinite scrolling thing. I use reader mode, but I miss the old design. Sigh

Not to confuse with SDL_mixer (which is to output sound to audio devices). This is a module for decoding sound files in various formats.

Looks like that the project has changed its name from "rmc" (Rust Model Checker) to this. Various sources point to rmc as https://github.com/model-checking/rmc (redirected to https://github.com&#x2

I'm curious of the eventual consequence of emoji development. Early Chinese characters were pretty much like pictograms. They have developed into a highly sophisticated abstract language / writing system, but its emoji-like aspect

I feel that the study is dated. Nowadays (at least on iOS) VoiceOver is pretty good: they can read almost all parts of the contents, maps, and even texts on pictures. Not sure how much of it is designed with illiterate people in mind, but w

A university teacher. I work from the office for now but without student. I understand the appeal of online classes but man do I miss in-person teaching. In an online class, there's virtually no reaction from students (as most students

Sadly this kind of small sexualization is very common in most manga media. I grew up in Japan and thought this is normal, only finding out later in a Western country this is appalling. Once you have a more global perspective, I see this is

The discussions around web3 reminds me of the days when people were looking for a "killer app" for Web 2.0. Was there any? I don't remember much, but I don't think there was a single thing that stood out as "the&quo

FWIW, the rest of the world where Christianity isn't a major religion, Christmas isn't special either. In Japan, people perceive this as a fancy Western festive event, just like Valentine's Day but there's no holiday. Ou

I wonder who would be actually interested in the decentralization part if there was no Bitcoin/NFT bubble? My guess is "not many". I mean, those people exist, but it's probably the same number of people who are into Mast

In Japan, there were a couple of ski lifts that make almost 90-degree turn, called "bending lift (屈曲リフト)". Near the turning point they put up a warning sign like "please hold tight or you might be thrown off". As a kid I

Maybe they are good books, but I found that most of these summaries are bland and generic, as in these phrases: "The book is strictly about career development and it has a lot of insights ..." "The book is filled with classic

Every time I read about decentralization, I remember this episode from NPR Planet Money (one of the best podcasts, btw). It's about Libertarian Summer Camp where they tried to spend a day without fiat money. Gold standard everything. T

I used to use cdb a lot for random access of small key/value pairs (~100k entries, 10kb per entry). It's effectively a hashtable on disk. https://cr.yp.to/cdb.html

Ehh, as a person who lived in Tokyo and NYC for a while, I can say that the difference isn't as big. It's true that Tokyo is way cleaner and the trains are much better, but Tokyo streets are harder to navigate (as it's not gr

I hope that the app makes it clear which country/culture it applies to. (I assume it's for a European-origin family in the US?) We recently had a kid, and in case of our native culture (Japan), people want to pick a name that not

I just found out that you can search "covfefe" on this. It's not even on most dictionaries! I was about to write that "one downside of this is that you can only search a word that can be speech recognized"... then I

Keyence is well known among tech students in Japan for their high wages (compare to the average) and its cutthroat environment. I hear that they tend to let young engineers do a rather advanced task.

This is the reason why Adobe PDF isn't relying on Unicode. Adobe products has a huge presence in Japan since 90s and they had to appeal to the printing industry, which is very anal to this kind of issues. So they ended up using a separ
