OrySnack: The Bar Where Bartenders Work From Home

As the sun sets in Tokyo, its alleyways become illuminated by the lights of “sunakku” snack bars. But OrySnack is illuminated by something entirely different: the gentle, glowing eyes of six small humanoid robots that are pouring drinks and interacting with customers. But you would be mistaken to assume that the robots have replaced human […] Related posts: Pop-Up Café In Tokyo Will Allow Severely Disabled to Work Using Robotic Avatars Braille Nueu Typeface Communicates Visually and Physically in English and Japanese Takafumi Tsuruta’s Fashion Label HaHa Makes Clothes For All Walks of Life

FamilyMart’s New Hipster ‘FAMIMA’ Reimagines What a Conbini Can Be

For decades, Japan’s convenience stores have been admired for, well, their convenience. By being sweetly attuned to utilitarian consumer needs, the ubiquitous 24/7 conbini has spread across Japan, achieving an unparalleled density that is perhaps second only to vending machines.

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. Memory would not be returned to your service if a shell crashed in your browser. And those shells did not play well with ad blockers like uBlock Origin. As such I’ve found Render in-browser shells could crash quite often. For several years we noticed that server memory grew over time in ways we could never explain, even with a lot of troubleshooting. Sometimes the leak would saturate all of our server’s memory. A server restart would clear things out, so eventually we even had background jobs set up to restart our servers a few times a day to “fix” the memory leak. Last week I finally sat down and dug a little deeper when a lesser-used server started crashing right as I was taking a rare chance to work on it. Processes galore! I’m told this has now been fixed up. Perhaps now I can reduce some of our serve allocation… Reply by email
