I was not responding to an accusation or difficult question. I was raising the fact that the same things happens nearby - and one might feel the same sickness over it. And maybe do…

whataboutism /ˌwɒtəˈbaʊtɪz(ə)m/ noun BRITISH the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counter-accusation or raising a different is…

Yeah, but I did not what about, did I? I expressed the fact that absolutely everything about NK is unacceptable. But if parent poster is deeply bothered by certain inhumane acts, t…

Have you ever heard of ICE? Not that NK is in anyway acceptable - it’s a sad mess. But you must be aware that they do not hold a monopoly on being terrible.

In Japanese there is no distinction between kanji and hanzi, they are the same thing, and written equally - 漢字. In English, it would be most appropriate to call Chinese language ch…

I am a Japanese person. I don’t see your point.

Why do you think so?

But in this specific case, it is a Chinese character (because that’s what kanji is, and that’s what the word kanji means), and the character is actually kanji, since it was written…

Considering Hokusai was Japanese, the descriptions are probably written in Kanji. The word “kanji” itself means Chinese character, so I wonder what exactly is your point?

Japan has some really impressive universities and, as a rich country, is able to nurture all sorts of talent. The Japanese ruling party is a bunch of old people from a few traditio…

Brazilian tax law, Brazilian financial regulation, Brazilian fraud prevention... Things get byzantine fast in Brazil.

For a moment there you had me wondering why the post office was delivering canned meat.

12 years as a developer. Used recursion only once. Once. (but that specific time recursion was really a life saver)

Absolutely, but that process is absolutely not data driven. “Feeling” about a show, and connections to the people running are the two major factors driving those decisions. Data dr…

And as soon as they got data involved, the plot quality decreased immensely. By season 3, most people had given up on the show already.

Apple, Quibi, Amazon are trying to plan the perfect breakout show. It doesn’t work like that. A lot of the networks’s and Netflix’s breakout shows were not planned to be great. Tha…

At some point, the EU has to see a pattern of degradation and corruption, and start engaging actively with the people of the countries, instead of just expecting places such as Bul…

Smack in the middle of Nogecho, one of the coolest nightlife areas I’ve ever seen.

The problem is that a developer doesn’t really understand the business complexities and nuances - he studied computers, not business. I feel there is a gap to be crossed, and settl…

That’s the reason why some games keep going in and out of Steam. Especially console ports such as Alan Wake.

Considering Xbox360 used a PowerPC CPU, some emulation had to be done. Not sure about the Xbox One - it might be just a different aspect on the hypervisor.

Microsoft already has a pretty sophisticated Xbox emulator, deployed to both Xbox360 and XboxOne.

I disagree. It was impossible for me to just learn words, because kanji made no sense to me. After RTK, I created ways to mentally breakdown and identify the characters. Then, sudd…

I understand your frustration, but it seems clear to me that there is difference in what you consider high level technical skills, and what others might perceive as such. In a high…
