Japanese vs International Schools: Which Will Work for Your Children?

from TokyoDev [alt+shift+b] in programming

a year ago
The surprise is usually plain on their faces. “Oh! Your kids go to Japanese schools?” This is also usually another surprise, whether I’m speaking to a Japanese person or a foreigner. Often the conversation ends there, or with a hopeful note of, “Well, if they’re young, it’s easy...

Everyone a writer

"The irresistible proliferation of graphomania shows me that everyone without exception bears a potential writer within him, so that the entire human species has good reason to go down into the streets and shout: we are all writers! For everyone is pained by the thought of...

I’m pleased that so many people enjoyed my previous blog post on tolower() with AVX-512. Thanks for all the great comments and discussion! One aspect that needed more work was examining the performance for small strings. The previous blog post had a graph for strings up to about...

Really Enjoyed Jason Scott’s BBS Documentary

from The Changelog [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
Like many young programmers of my age, before I could use the Internet, there were BBSs. I eventually ran one, though in my small town there were few callers. Some time back, I downloaded a copy of Jason Scott’s BBS Documentary. You might know Jason Scott from textfiles.com and...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
