Yes, I have been doing software development in Japan for the past decade.

Of course you are right that no sane person would contemplate this calendar for any purpose other than user-facing display, and even then only where it is absolutely required.

But the insane WTF thing is that it does still seem to be widely required on any kind of financial document. Expense reports, salary statements, that kind of thing. All my banks use this format (and also SJIS text encoding when I download my data (T_T)...)

There are also lots of internal processes^W^W Excel spreadsheets in active use that expect these values so I've seen more than one program that converts 2013 to "H.25"... and it's literally impossible to represent a future date, since we don't know when the emperor might die, even if we have a projected abdication date.

I can't be too smug about it, since I'm American (miles and feet, anybody?) but it is... objectively non-optimal.
[edited] - I was concerned that they hadn't controlled for country of origin when assessing the students - a lot of business students are from abroad - but on a second reading I couldn't tell if they'd checked it or not - it looked like they might have done, so I'm removing the comment. Don't want to be rude to the researchers.
That says nothing about if it's worth reading the article.

I wish every article came with an abstract and conclusion like a scientific paper. Generally that's enough and you don't even need to read the middle.
The terrorists won on 9/11 not because they directly did much damage but because they got America to shoot itself in the foot. This was just one of many things our government's response ruined, unfortunately.
In this case I knew the CEO from school. The computer science department I studied in offered a couple cross-collaboration classes with the graduate school of business, which is how we met.

I don't have much practical advice here, but my path was to have done good work in the past (reference checks), have an existing connection, and to not be afraid to negotiate hard at the beginning.
Mystical pangolin facing extinction

Intel's problem has always been the libraries in the hpc world. Nvidia understood this early on, and they dumped an ungodly amount of money into getting people onto their platform by investing in libraries and tools. Intel thought that by just releasing a card with a bunch of Xeon cores and not a whole lot of accompanying Library support would do the trick.

Their mkl library is a good example of that. There are a bunch of different ways/libraries to accomplish the same task, and it's not always clear which to use. Further, the documentation is basically just an API printout with very few examples. You can't rely on stackoverflow to document things for you.

This isn't unique to Intel either. I'm looking at you AMD. It wasn't until recently that rocm started picking up steam and amd realizing is important -- long after their Enterprise GPUs were out.
Yes because it will fix more pages than it will break.
Well, before my Android phone I owned a Nokia Windows Phone which was also 1/10th the price of an iPhone. Not sure how that point of data fits into your narrative...
>I understand why Louis gets worked up about this particular issue, but he's just flat out wrong.

Which is exactly why Apple's distinction was the logo on the product. If it's not the exact same product, it shouldn't be able to bear their logo. Judges deciding that it doesn't matter because users will never see the logo are missing the point, imo. It only opens the door to all kinds of 3rd party parts and repairs where it's not the exact same product but you're paying for it as if it is.
The mapping engine is CartoDB, but I (seriously) doubt that this copy protection was implemented by them. They're much more serious & better at writing good code.

You can also see that the encrypted data stream is coming from https://maps.amtrak.com/services/MapDataService/trains/getTr... which is an Amtrak-hosted backend service.

If you look at the top comment in https://www.amtrak.com/services/maps.trainlocation.html you'll see the name of the consultant that probably worked on this.

I'd say digital image sensors are by far a much more important innovation
I thought about this statement before writing it, and I know what you mean. But the way I justify this view is that with film vs digital I was never able to take any different images. Sure, digital photography is at the heart of drones. But A digital camera didn't give me an entirely a new way to easily tell a story.

Of course, I could rent a helicopter (almost impossible for some locations and prohibitively expensive) but to carry a small gadget and send it up to tell a story is something that has only become possible recently.

Take something like this [0]. It's a former spy radio satellite the operated in current Latvia during the USSR days and now has been turned into a radio telescope. It would be impossible to tell a story about it's location in middle of trees, etc. unless I had a helicopter.

Or how do you show there is a monument built on top of the hills in Buda side that overlooks the river on Budapest. You can not [1].
As I said, it gives you abilities to tell stories that you could not do with an analogue camera.

It's because it's one of the few ways Intel can cut costs/remain profitable in the face of new AMD competition without disrupting the company's operations in the long term.

Of course this doesn't mean its brand/sales won't be hurt further due to this move.

While I wouldn't put it past Google, it does seem less like a "performance advantage" and more of a pettiness thing if it's deliberate - slowing down only the initial navigate probably wouldn't deter anyone from going to YouTube or from their browser of choice - I think those tech savvy enough to chose their browser are also the ones on Mozilla for a reason, and those on Edge are on Edge because they aren't tech savvy enough to choose.
Default keyboard symbol mapping is surprising:

Not kidding at all. The entire industry made a huge hard stop and turn on the terminology around 2001/2001 after Dell was sued because a man claimed that his "laptop" burned his thighs/penis when the CPU/battery heated up and the fans didn't turn on. The courts ruled that "laptop" implied that the machine was safe to use in that manner and the guy was awarded damages. After that, it became exclusively "notebook" or "portable" computer industry-wide. I haven't really put any thought into it recently but I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any manufacturer referring to their machines as "laptops" now.

Edit: It was a Dell Latitude that burned the man's penis: http://ftp.compal.com/Download/NB/NCL50/User-Service%20manua...
As too went the government space programs, until the disasters in each started happening.

The sense of awe sticks around though. I don't know, I still will from time to time get a little sense of vertigo when I'm in an airplane and the landing gear leaves the runway. The scope and scale of human accomplishment to get to the point where this miracle has become mundane will occasionally hit with the peculiar warmth that accompanies the loss of meaning of a word spoken one too many times. It briefly becomes new again, and amazing.

It is pretty cool indeed.

What vote in any democracy has not been surrounded by misrepresentations by advocates of different sides?
There was no censorship in the Brexit campaign. All sides were free to make their case for months during the campaign. There were plenty of false and misleading claims on both sides, as well as attempted debunking of these claims on the opposing sides. The Brexit debates were far more thorough, fair, and civil than anything you ever see in the US or most other democratic countries.
The notion that the electorate shouldn't have been trusted to sort through all of this, and requires a set of true facts cultivated by some elite group, undermines the entire premise of democracy.
That's exactly the kind of town I grew up in (albeit at a more northern latitude). The veneer of quaintness that draws people to the town is very thin, just enough to get them to open their wallets. Beneath that it's all dysfunction and scum liberally sprinkled with less than ethical business practices and corrupt politics that everone's managed convince themselves is normal or doesn't exist.

I've lived in a variety of other small towns and a few cities. The pattern I've noticed is that when a large chunk of the community makes it's living by siphoning a few bucks off of people who don't live there permanently and have no plans to (tourists, university students, commuters) it creates a bunch of incentives for highly (more so than in a normal town/city) selfish behavior from all the local parties (business owners, politicians, town departments, individual property owners, etc) that basically boils down to everyone trying to squeeze every cent out of everyone else and nobody wants to live in a place where everyone is doing that because it sucks. I'm definitely in the "individuals are generally good and trustworthy when left to do their own thing" camp but a couple of the places I'v lived make me well aware of why some people believe that people are untrustworthy by default and need to be controlled.

In the case of tourist towns, the special snowflake image projected on top of all of this is just kind of a slap in the face for everyone living there. You've got your annual town parade for whatever and half the crowd is frowning because they know the backstory to everything they see in front of them. The local business that sponsored the float for a sports team is just doing it because a local offical's kid is on the team and he needs said official to not look too hard at his business. The fire department's 100ft ladder truck is just a waste because there's no more than a 3-story building in the town but the EMTs did a favor for the school superintendent who crashed his car while drunk (legend is that he had to be cut out by the FD and the EMTs recognized him and whisked him away before the cops could make him blow) so he called his friends and put in a good word for the fire department when it came to budget. The reason some of the town officials in the parade aren't behind bars is because the police know that scandals are bad for business and they'd rather just have it to hold over them anyway. The only reason the landscaping material company has money to blow on the nearly new trucks that are towing the floats (dirt moving is a low margin industry so you don't usually see that stuff) is because they have a local monopoly and overcharge everyone they deal with. It's just terrible to live in a place where everything is scummy but presented as quaint in order to fleece the tourists for a few months of the year and that's how most tourist towns become. No wonder everyone does drugs all winter. It wears on you. I suppose if you just take it all for granted or are just so overwhelmed by the quaintness that you don't notice it might be ok but that's just not me.
Yes. A referendum on restoring the death penalty in the UK would likely get a strong yes vote. In that case the people's will would be wrong. The most important feature of democracy is that it gives enables people to remove governments without violence. The ability to choose or influence what govts do is secondary.
A note for clueless windows users:

convert /?
Converts a FAT volume to NTFS.

CONVERT volume /FS:NTFS [/V] [/CvtArea:filename] [/NoSecurity] [/X]

volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
mount point, or volume name.
/FS:NTFS Specifies that the volume will be converted to NTFS.
/V Specifies that Convert will be run in verbose mode.
/CvtArea:filename
Specifies a contiguous file in the root directory
that will be the place holder for NTFS system files.
/NoSecurity Specifies that the security settings on the converted
files and directories allow access by all users.
/X Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary.
All open handles to the volume will not be valid.

You probably can't do any damage attempting to use it to convert images, but there might be a way to screw up attempting to convert an image so badly you destroy your filesystem.

It seems like a deliberate action to drive people to the Google browser. Other companies should not have to continually implement deprecated APIs just to play catch-up. It's a clear abuse of market dominance.

Well can they pull out? They've invoked article 50, as far as I understood it, they'll be out of the UK one way or another.

Keep in mind, time to load actually impacts user retention on most sites. If a user is savvy enough to notice that it only happens in Firefox - the result could be anything from maligning the reputation of Mozilla, to driving them to use Chrome.

On it's face, it appears anti-competitive and something a 90s Microsoft would have done.

Our newborn daughter cried right after we came home from the hospital, and our dog immediately started barking at mom and dad. Weirdly, the dog has never barked in reaction to the baby ever again since that first time.

My wife and I have a hypothesis that the dog was worried we couldn’t hear the baby, and was reassured when seeing us tend to the baby quickly.

You’re saying just getting rid of the farm bill, with all its subsidies for agriculture, would hurt urban areas by destroying production? That seems like a real stretch of economic theory, to me. Subsidizing the low-margin producers in certain states and putting up agricultural tariffs like we do is really not benefitting rich urban areas.

Consumers in NYC don’t sit around saying, “thank goodness I have this expensive cane sugar and cheap high fructose corn syrup because of the exorbitant tariffs on Brazilian sugar and subsidized crop insurance for corn production!”

New Yorkers also don’t get much direct benefit from Conservation Reserve, where farmers are paid to do restoration work on marginal farmland rather than sending the topsoil down the river.

Finally, SNAP, which makes up 75% of the cost of the farm bill, last time I checked, is a conditional transfer directly to consumers, so SNAP tax expenditures to agricultural states are feeding poor people in those states, not subsidizing urban consumers in other states. That seems like a fine way to do the accounting to me.

I support the conservation bits of the farm bill, and SNAP and Medicaid (which dominate interstate transfer payments), but not because they benefit rich urban states directly; I don’t think they do at all. I just think top soil conservation and providing food and health care to the poor are moral mandates, and I’m philosophically in favor of transfer payments from the rich to the poor.
it says literally on the Zotero front page that all cloud functions are optional.
THERE WAS NO VOTE.

First, the famous referendum was advisory, and in no way obligated the government to do anything. Technically it was just slightly serious than a public opinion poll.

Second, the question was too unclear, and it was not clear what will happen in the case of a "leave" vote.

Third, the result was too inconclusive -- a 4% difference is too small to base such strong decisions on, especially after such a short campaign with so many irregularities as this one. [0]

And finally, even if the result required the government to act on it, there was no provision that it has to happen so soon. For a serious "brexit" there should be more time to negotiate and reach a solid deal.

It must be high fat. From the linked essay [1], the diet is 30g daily carbohydrates, 1.5g/Kg(body mass) protein. For an 80Kg individual, that results in 150*4=600Kcal. That means almost 2000Kcal in fat to reach the daily caloric intake.

The studies that come up about toxoplasmosis are so uniformly strange, weird and remarkable that I have become deeply suspicious about the entire field of study.

Whenever you see strange and remarkable results around some topic like this, it just reeks of academic p-hacking and media attention seeking.

I suspect one day the entire field of toxoplasmosis study is going to get debunked and all of these media friendly studies will get thrown out.

The number of remarkable toxoplasmosis studies is far, far too high and really pushes the limit of credibility.
