Japanese are extremely violent. I can point to WW2 for reference and their behavior leading up to the war and USAs ultimate decision to drop nuclear weapons.

The approach to handling ghosn portends to a similar attitude: take no prisoners, act swiftly and viciously.

Good lord, this long-winded writing style is maddening to read!

Here's what he changed:

> Set<Thing> aSet = new HashSet<Thing>();

to:

> Set<Thing> aSet = new HashSet<Thing>(0);

His explanation:

"Most of these sets were empty for the entirety of their life, but each one was consuming enough memory to hold the default number of entries. Huge numbers of these empty sets were created and together they consumed over half a gigabyte of memory. Over a third of our available heap."

I'm not sure he ever got around to explaining how it saved "half a million dollars", though.

Yes, I am assuming that is more likely than convincing manufacturers to support alert functionality natively. Considering the rise of wifi repeaters (Google, Eero, Netgear, ec) and other IoT devices, I don't believe my assumption is far fetched.

Engineering-first culture is almost always the wrong idea. It's product-first or nothing. The entire point of agile is prioritization based on business value. Everything always takes longer than estimated regardless of how you manage your project. That's actually a core tenet of agile and one that stakeholders (and budget holders) have the hardest time accepting. Having worked in this industry before agile was prevalent, I can assure you it was never better than this in the past. QA as first-class is a pretty core principle as well. The point of things like Scrum is meant to be visibility and alignment rather than prediction, but impatient people are guaranteed to ruin your life no matter what.
That was my take as well. I really liked it as a period piece, but after S1 it seemed like the showrunners kept some characters merely because they liked the actors. Michael Shannon was wasted in later seasons, IMO.

> I really wish it was the norm in the software world to offer UI updates and security fixes independently, so we could upgrade the good without having to accept the bad.

Me too. That used to be standard practice, and I think abandoning it was a disastrous move.

I know that combining the two things like this means that I get security updates less often than is desirable, because I delay all of them until I feel I have enough time and energy to deal with any UI/feature/configuration changes.

pokemon go is a much more "visible" game. if you have any idea how the game works, it's really obvious when you see people playing it irl. it's hard to notice people playing clash royale unless you look at their screen or hear them talking about specific cards from the game. when I was waiting for a flight at the airport recently, almost all the kids seemed to be playing clash royale.

anecdotally, I don't notice clash royale being as popular with adults as pokemon go. it may be true that it's not very popular in your world, if you don't spend a lot of time around children/teenagers. in my bubble, I hardly ever see people playing pokemon go anymore.
I’ve been using computers since I was 10 and I can agree with you. However I think it strongly depends on what you do online. I don’t use a lot of social media and I think that’s where most kids end up spending their time. If I had to guess you don’t use too much social media either?
Only if you're caught. Considering that the only reason you'd even attempt this would be to escape, your only concern would be not being able to return.

The article talks about Google's relationship with China and it's encouraging to see that there were people standing up in the company and pushing back. But I also wonder what author would think about https://wikileaks.org/google-is-not-what-it-seems/

Google essentially was becoming an arm of the US State Department. With Schmidt and Jared Cohen saying things like "What Lockheed Martin was to the twentieth century, technology and cyber-security companies will be to the twenty-first". That seems somewhat benign but then it crosses into Google directly helping the US government drumming up support for Syria air strikes by putting links to government propaganda right on front/search page.

I often wonder what Larry and Sergey really think of Google now. Is this the company they dreamed Google would become? Are they proud how their "child" has grown.

I'm a Backend Python Developer with 5 years of experience building web app backends and APIs. I've recently started dabbling in frontend frameworks, Vue & React to be precise. Have been working on Open source applications for 4 out of 5 years of work. I’m looking for a permanent or contract remote position as a backend/fullstack developer.
I keep my mom's iMac up to date, but she does have admin privileges so she can run the updates, etc.

I removed the Flash player from her machine some time ago, because it now seems to be completely obsolete. (I liked Flash in its day, but it's time has passed.)

AARP still requires Flash for one of its online "Safe Driver" courses. So my mom followed the advice in an AARP User Forum and, of course, got a adware malware installed in her browser.

No matter how many times I tell her to never install _anything_ she'll still wants to prove that she is capable of doing things and gets viruses/malware.

She also gets confused by Google ads. She wanted to add AT&T minutes to her pay-as-you-go phone, searched, and clicked on an ad for a third party minutes reseller (which was filled with AT&T logos) and bought it there. It wasn't such a bad deal, but when she calls me about a message she's getting on her flip phone and mentions company names I've never heard of, I can't help her.
If it's heavy enough to counterbalance a person's weight, then it's heavy. How large is the niche of elderly people who are both unbalanced enough to need this and strong enough to be willing to use it?

Right, "agile" has become a developer metric system.

I've seen many management fads. They come and go. They go because everyone tires of them and they get gamified anyways. At Sun I heard many people say things like "I'm going to code myself an SUV" whenever we got a new gamifiable management technique.

Sprinting too shall pass.

> conceal the source of funding for studies (both to journals or funding agencies)

doesn't sound like the usual rules for academic funding. I heavily doubt whether the Thousand Talents program really has such a rule. It's the exact opposite of what organizations funding scientific research usually want: getting their name acknowledged in as many papers in prestigious journals as possible, in order to demonstrate success.

I only have an Oculus Go, which I decided to get as a test drive.

It's... fun, but the graphics quality is lacking. Some people say they stop noticing the screen door effect, but I never do. Plus I do notice the limited FOV.

Watching movies in a virtual theater is pretty bad, and I can't even smile or laugh because then everything goes out of focus, or have a snack, obviously.

I did love the various travel videos on Oculus Video, 360 VR makes it a whole new experience.

If there were any VR MMO's I'd try them (Zenith had some hype a while ago).

It's a real pain, but you can use the Go + a PS4/Xbox controller to play games on a big screen, and indeed it's a nice experience even if it's not VR/3D.

Still prefer a projector for anything 2D.
This may be politically incorrect but I think parents should be able to take a page out of the Asian parents handbook and corporally punish their kids. I find a certain amount of fear in very specific cases works to get kids to focus initially until it becomes a part of their daily routine.
Static; thanks for the info. I would ideally like to dump a bunch of SVG tiles for various zoom levels so I can store them in a static directory on my server rather than serve them dynamically. I take it that Mapnik is capable of dumps like this? And, I would like to use the Python bindings but they look relatively badly documented. Would you suggest a newbie like me uses the C or XML interfaces instead, if they are better documented?
