Tokyo will probably feel as dystopian as New York. The main areas are extremely densely populated, there are lights, videos, musics and noises everywhere, always hundreds of things happening around you. It's impressive. It's personally what I enjoy but I get why it's not for everyone. But by definition, it's a unique experience and the tourists are completely outnumbered so it feels really local. I was actually surprised each time I saw a tourist in the street. There are also some big parks in Tokyo for when you want to take a break from all the craziness.

About destinations where life goes a bit slower, it's hard to not recommend the classic ones, especially if it's your first time in Japan. 2 days in Kyoto, 2 days in Osaka, 1 day trip in Nara, 1 day trip in Kamakura, 1 night in a onsen… This is the traditional Japan. Since those cities are smaller and all the attractions are listed on every traveling books/sites, you will definitely see a lot of tourists, but you can't go to Japan and not visit those places at least once!

Me too. What was the context of the quote?
IIRC, parents--particularly parents with younger kids. The highschoolers need (in their view) to be home earlier than the middle- and elementary schoolers to be the responsible party so the parents can come home at the end of the workday.

The problem is deeply structural.
Yeah, but I'd 1000x rather commute to work when it's still dark than have it get dark before I get home.
As Matt Yglesias put it, the first article makes 0 sense. If they don't like what the school is teaching them, pull their kids out! Isn't that the whole point of private school? It's a choice to go there.

If you decide to use a second scrollbar:

1. Consider using Excel style sticky headers and sticky left columns to give users column and row headings. Here’s a proof of concept: https://output.jsbin.com/qiqozum (sorry my example isn’t larger than viewport like your example, but it can be made to work with a large scrollable body on a smaller screen).

2. You can make the second scrollbar position:sticky so that it sticks to the bottom of the viewport (I think your idea of putting it at top would confuse users)

3. You can measure the “thickness” T of a scrollbar by looking at the difference between content height and container height for a div with a forced scrollbar at bottom.

4. I think you can get the second scrollbar to hide using CSS when the real scrollbar comes into view. You could use a container div with overflow:hidden and a negative margin at the bottom of height T, and put the scrollable div within, with an extra margin at the bottom of of it if T. Put the position:sticky scrollbar inside the container div. Edit: IGNORE this bullet point - it’s only relevant for small scrollable area, not whole body viewport.

5. You now run into the problem where the user doesn’t know they can scroll vertically to see more. Perhaps add an extra 20px of transparency below the sticky scrollbar, perhaps a little dark opacity, so user can see scrollbar is floating and that there is more data.

Things to watch for:

1. NEVER use the fake scrollbar as a 100% replacement for a real scrollbar... they are janky (JavaScript cannot provide smooth scrolling) and there are many many ways for the scrollbar to not show properly and screw the user over.

2. Scrollbar thicknesses can change dynamically. You can detect this as an event, but it isn’t necessarily simple.

3. Page zooming can cause troubles. Pinch zooming can cause troubles - needs lots of testing on touch laptops or Windows tablets.

4. Only Chrome, Safari and Firefox engines. Microsoft Edge before Chrome transplant is your enemy - nothing will work right. You can get everything above to work well in IE11 including jankfree sticky column and row headers, by using JavaScript, but it takes tricks that are not well known.

5. Test in Safari on Mac by switching on scrollbars in preferences.

6. Take a lot of care to ensure the second scrollbar never occludes the real scrollbar (bottom or right) - there is a risk the user can no longer scroll.

7. I haven’t had much experience using a fake scrollbar to scroll the viewport as needed by your example. I am fairly sure I am missing a couple of difficulties because my experience is mostly for scrollable elements rather than a scrollable body, and I know there are some troublesome differences between the two.

8. Keeping the scrollbar synchronised to content is not always as easy as you might think. Use non-blocking onscroll event so jank is not introduced.
I don't know. Not everyone can just adjust to doing something else. E.g. you mentioned transitioning to sales, managemnt or tech. For sales you have to like to sell (and have a knack for it), it's not for everyone. Management? Not everyone can go into management, who do you manage if the people that were managed are gone? Thus, automation is also coming for the middle-management. Tech? Tech is too complicated for many people to get into. Additionally, if it's the only place in the sunlight that's left, it might become crowded as well.
This still doesn’t make things look less like a scam. An anecdote of where the scheme worked for some people in the past is a very common thing for a scammer to tell future victims in order to persuade them into the scam.

Example: [Person A] was a single parent living paycheck to paycheck, then they started selling [pyramid product X] and now they’re sending their kids through collage on the profits alone.

Shareholders not making money is akin to saying that pyramid scammers don’t make money, off course they do... Otherwise they wouldn’t be spending their time and energy doing this. Every dollar you earn by doing nothing is a dollar made by someone else they didn’t get.
Exactly. We, the people, need to exert back pressure on a deeply flawed system to force it to happen. Such a change wouldn't be nearly as problematic if union membership, for example, was widespread.
It doesn't matter if you're good at it - there is no evidence that being good at chess makes you better at any hedge fund related tasks or vice versa. However you should most definitely care if your employees like what they do and the environments they are in. Those who dislike some critical element of the job may be perfectly capable of doing it, but will have a very low barrier to jumping to other opportunities compared to someone who genuinely likes the job.

Let's say you're hiring people to work a fish market. One candidate loves going out on the boat and fishing in their spare time, the other hates the smell of fish. Both are fully capable of doing the job, which doesn't involve catching fish or being on a boat, but which does involve spending a lot of time with dead fish. Who do you think is more likely to stick with the job for an extended period of time and be pleasant to work alongside?
Nope, I value my space. Besides, I already use my house for my own workspace.

Not just typeahead. A lot of Splunk's power comes from data transformations and filters.

I wonder if the pursuit of crypto is equivalent to our aspirations in space. We may not get to Mars but we'll learn a lot by attempting and will have valuable biproducts.

So London, England would be in the same timezone as Moosenee, Canada and Irkutsk, Russia?

EDIT: This checkerboard would be very difficult to deal with. Also, people in northern or southern latitudes are used to extremes in day lengths.

But, fundamentally, timezones are so that "noon" is about when the sun is overhead for you. People at the same longitude still have the same noontime regardless of when the sun rises or sets.
The monetary policy is becoming much clearer with proposals like EIP-1559 which has been approved for the summer upgrade.

It would appear the process has changed since I did it. If you live in a country with a national tax id number, you can now use that. However, you can also elect to use an ITIN or EIN even though no US tax return is required.

“ If you are a non-U.S. publisher interested in claiming tax treaty benefits to reduce your withholding, you will have to provide a tax identification number (TIN). If you have a U.S. TIN (ITIN for individuals, EIN for non-individuals), you must provide it. If you do not have a U.S. TIN and the tax authority in your country of residence issues an income tax identification number, you may enter it to claim treaty benefits.”

American high schools have to be out around 3 PM to allow for enough time for sports teams to practice. Other schools end up synchronizing to this schedule. A non-trivial reason is that high school teachers with young children need to have them synced with their own work schedules and teachers have some level of control over how school days are scheduled.

Anyway, like everything in the US, blame the obsession with high school athletics.
Sounds great in theory, but it becomes too hard to know what times are "early" and "late" for people. When telling people what time it is, you'd also have to include where you are so they know what's early/late, and at that point you've just reinvented timezones.

I believe the general policy in the States is "one swift motion" to exit a room which is why you see mostly crashbars and lever handles as egress, mostly on push doors for the primary egress path.

In secured areas where they want you to swipe out or places where they might get tripped accidentally, they sometimes have like a 15 second lockout before actually tripping the door.

I've been in just one server room and they just had a motion-deactivated maglock tied to an electric strike so in the case of a power outage a simple mechanical lock could be opened but otherwise you need to badge in/out.

The trick is that we all have thousands of ancestors, and if you luck upon one thread that connects you to the aristocracy, their genealogical records are more complete than common people. That's why, after a few generations, people only know the really fancy people they're descended from.

> Don't hide things from the user that provide the user with information.

We already hide 99.9999% of things that provide the user with information. Thank god, because the real maxim should be don't overload the user with information.

We try to show only the things that show the most useful information at the times it's needed, and hide them the rest of the time.

Scroll bars used to be necessary primarily for scrolling. Once people switched to scroll wheels and trackpad gliding this the primary use case disappeared.

Knowing where in the document you are isn't usually that useful. You started at the top and already know how much you've read. For the infrequent moments where you really do need to know, just jiggle the scroll and you can see it instantly.

It's a very elegant solution. It really does work.
Or here’s an idea: we can do DST in the summer, and standard time in the winter. Best of both worlds!

This is Okta's official statement (I run Developer Advocacy at Okta):

The Okta service has not been impacted by the Verkada breach. After conducting further investigation, Okta determined that five Verkada cameras were compromised. These cameras were isolated and separate from Okta’s production and company networks. Okta does not employ facial recognition technology, and there is no evidence that any live streams were viewed during the limited access that occurred. Okta employs Verkada technology only in office entrances.
When I moved to Oregon I was a little surprised at how long the evenings were in the summer time and commensurate shortening of the day in the winter, but it’s only about 20 minutes less light in the morning at the worst part of the year.
The world computer idea does help to understand it. If you are playing a game or running some other processes on your discrete computer sometimes you accidentally pin the CPU, RAM, and IO, then you’ll run into issues where copying files to a USB disk or even doing simple things like editing cells in Excel becomes next to impossible until you force quit some applications.

In the “world computer” known as Ethereum, operations are prioritized via “gas” payments in ETH. A bunch of people you don’t know on the other side of the world might get interested in trading drawings of cats with each other[1], and suddenly the “world computer” has no resources available, and the cost of inserting simple records into the “world database”, or moving some tokens to an exchange suddenly goes from $2 to $50, or $500. This can happen right in the middle of an operation so you have to be careful to consult “gas prices” and probably the I Ching wouldn’t hurt, and then kind of make a guess and hope your transaction doesn’t get stranded.

If you have some tokens you want to get out of your wallet and you don’t have any ETH in the wallet to pay for the transaction you may need to beg, borrow, or steal some, and you’ll almost certainly be left with some dollars worth in your wallet that you may never be able to empty completely.

Imagine what it would have been like to work on a big timeshare mainframe in the sixties where booking time to do simple things cost massive sums of money, except that the bids for resources can come in from all over the world and things are being repriced constantly.

People like to call this decentralized, because no one is in control, but it actually centralizes the allocation of resources in a way that makes things many multiple times more expensive than they should be.

[1] The “world computer” is not actually trading images, because that would be impossible given its limited compute resources, so all of the hard stuff like transmitting or decoding a gif is actually happening on the normal internet and discrete computers. The “world computer” is just spending tonnes of resources recording which user currently “owns” the cat via a database entry.
>earn the virtual currency ‘Robux’ to purchase items

not sure about this one. my kids have been playing Roblox and Minecraft for almost two years and AFAIK the only way to get 'Robux' and 'Minecoins' is by buying them with real-world money

creative and social advantages aside, they are both ultimately microtransaction based moneymakers and both offer monthly subscriptions. that said, you don't need to spend money to enjoy or progress, unlike some other games where you perpetually pay through the nose to be second best

It's in the default gnome theme too and changing themes on gnome is kind of a bitch if you're not actually using it as a DE (plus the devs hate it.) Now I have to run some kind of theming daemon (WTF?) just so I can have scroll bars. Sometimes it eats escape keys and launches random crap (occasionally an entire DE) just to throw a full screen modal dialog box telling me that escape isn't mapped to any shortcuts.

Defaults should be sane, not fashionable and many people still expect and even need scrollbars.
You can have as high of an ideal as you want about physics, quantum gravity, Einstein, Feynman, and hard work, but you should at least be aware when you start to abuse yourself in the name of this ideal. Fifteen hour days in the library? Reading paper after paper while ignoring the feeling you don't have a direction? These are moments where self-empathy can go a long way. And the more you dig into your ideals the less of a pedestal you put them on, and you can see them more clearly as they really are, and as human. Einstein was very close-minded about physics in his late career. Feynman was brilliant but also said a lot of other things other than "Shut up and calculate", which, by the way, the context of which is "eventually you just have to shut up an calculate" (from one of his books I believe). Quantum gravity isn't the only deep mystery in physics. And why does glory always seem to the main motivation for pursuing quantum gravity?

> "But in the end, I never knew what I was looking for and I didn’t find it."

To me it felt like you were looking for meaning and purpose in quantum gravity and its (mis-)characterization as the Grail, or at least in the process of working on quantum gravity. But it seemed like it was difficult to admit to yourself that it wasn't working, which ultimately makes the going even tougher.

I'm in a physics phd right now and I see this disconnect in myself and in other academics a lot.
> Though it also taught me some ... less favorable habits, as they are more common place. Think of: Continuously calling wait() until something loaded, Excessive use of globals, overuse of strings, coding single god-functions that do everything (with a frick ton of redundancy).

I feel like that's probably true of everybody's first adventures in programming. Certainly was for all of us who grew up writing BASIC.
Daylight time proponents are effectively advocating that the standard work day start an hour earlier relative to the sunlight.

I tend to disagree - better to let people sleep. There's a reason "standard" time was set up that way in the first place. I suspect it works better with our circadian rhythm that way.

On GNU/Linux systems, at least, you middle-click to say 'go to this place'.

I love my scrollbars, and I want them always visible. I don't use the mouse often, and I certainly don't want to have to use the mouse just to see context.

Chrome implemented even worse nasties on GNU/Linux with scrollbars though, including forcing a snapback to original position if you drag the scrollbar but happen to move the mouse a few pixels too far left or right of the scrollbar [1]. Apparently that's how Microsoft Windows users do things. So now we have to as well.

One of my pet peeves with the HTML title attribute is that it requires “hover and wait” to view the content as a tooltip. MDN [1] links to a wonderful guide [2] on how to avoid tooltips whenever possible and make them accessible if needed. For some reason, the accessible tooltips require custom implementation and is not the default browser behavior for the title attribute.

I'm not a parent so I'm not nearly invested enough to have put much into the problem, but having been a kid playing online games I have to wonder if you believe you can actually shield your kid from adult material anymore and if you can't then wouldn't it make more sense to just have some hard conversations and let the kid handle things as they come up?

Again, no judgement, I don't see optimal solutions here, just choosing the least worst option maybe.

I just can't imagine being a parent myself and feeling equipped to protect a child from adult material these days so it feels like the only viable alternative is to have adult conversations and enable the child to make decisions rather than the alternative of the child inevitably encountering adult situations and feeling the guilt/anxiety of having to hide that from their parents.
No, I'm for keeping the natural time that is called "winter time" these days all year long.

People who want their DST in the summer should just get up one hour earlier; laws would need to be made that jobs have to accommodate that choice.

I think most jobs are that flexible these days.

It's bad enough as it is in the northern latitudes where you wake up at about 5:15AM in June because the sun is already pretty bright. Keeping it on standard time would mean waking up at 4:15AM. Also, it's nice having more daylight after work.
