$450 for a School Bag?!

Every year, around March, a curious social custom occurs in Japanese families. Parents of kids entering elementary school visit the grandparents and gingerly tread the topic of buying the kids a very expensive item: a randoseru. And gingerly they must tread. The randoseru, a Japanese school bag, costs a whopping

Editor’s Note: This article ends on a cliffhanger. The next part goes out in a week. I will start with an honest admission. I didn’t set out to write about the world’s first app store. I set out to write about Brother printers. But

Unexplained Render.com Memory Leak

You’re welcome to all developers that user Render.com. I recently discovered that their interactive shells in the dashboard had a memory leak.
