innocenat··on Due to failure in the IT system, it is not possible to run any trains today
Maybe we have different definition of fewer trains, because I wouldn't expect more than 10% at most, realistically 2-3%. And those trains are probably already 2-3%.

I am not familiar with European train, but it seems that they did?

> The international trains are not affected by this failure.

> The night trains can still run.

The train schedule system data aren't fed into the Automatic Route Setting system in Europe and US?

The automation allowed running more trains than ever before using less personnel than ever before.

You want the train company to keep 2x-3x personnel on hand just for days like this? Not to mentioned transition time.

It looks like BGP actually predates HEIC. HEIC technical document finalise in 2015. The GitHub mirror of BGP has history back to 2014.

innocenat··on Why Japanese Web Design Is So Different (2013)
Personally, I already find Bootstrap 2 website very dated so there's that.

> having to enter your foreign name only in kanji and wondering whether it’ll accept katakana, full width letters, or hiragana instead

Never have any problem whatsoever filling full-width romaji (as written on my Zairyu card) in Kanji section and katakana/hiragana in the reading section (depend on what is requested).

Another thing I saw is that, for a subscription service, Japanese website tend to just put the pricing info first thing on the landing page, while English website tend to try to hide it.

Example: try comparing https://hulu.com to https://hulu.jp.

innocenat··on In defense of user-defined web fonts
That's literally what Google Font does for you, automatically. I also do the same for my website (which needs Latin, Thai, and Japanese).

Skimming the code it looks like one operation is 10 push front, not just 1.
innocenat··on We handle 80TB and 5M page views a month for under $400
And I am not saying you have to pay $20 every time. It's there to handle the traffic while you identify and fix the problem.

It's your choice if you don't want redundancy in place if any incidents happened.

Then let your site fail, it's your choice.

For the rest of us who would rather not let our site fail, a quick one time $20 tarp over dumpster to handle the traffic in the meantime is good.

innocenat··on Real-Time Tokyo Subway Map
I have never been to Swiss, is every transfer the same difficulty? Having all transfer being exactly the same doesn't make sense to me.

In Japan there is a predefined minimum transfer time between each lines, so the timetable use that to coordinate departure (and if incoming train is late, then the designated connecting train will wait that predefined time for connecting passenger)

It's hard to make responsive table with <table> tag though (except if you only want horizontal scrolling)
innocenat··on Example Domain
> You are guaranteed to be able to try and resolve the domain, which should generally be enough for the crappy man-in-the-middle systems to work.

I have never seen any captive portal work at DNS level though (and that by itself sounds problematic). They works at HTTP level. So if one day example.com start using HSTS then it will also be a problem, in addition to nowadays browser defaulting to HTTPS so you have to type http://example.com yourself.

neverssl.com guarantees all of that, at least as long as it's there.

innocenat··on Magnus Carlsen retains title after winning lopsided match
I was looking at Go vs Shogi time control and was surprised that at top level Shogi match usually give more time to players, despite being mathematically less complex. AFAIK the longest allotted time in Go is Japanese Mejin match at 8 hour/player. Longest for Shogi is Shogi Mejiin Match at 9 hour/player. Even standard ranking match in Japanese Shogi allow 6 hour/player, more than any Chess tournament I have seen (at present).

I watched a lot of Shogi match, and that just make 3.15 hours allotted in WCC looks low.

(The 8-9 hour match is a 2-day match. At specified time on the first day player do sealed move, to be reveal at the beginning of a match the next day.)

innocenat··on Magnus Carlsen retains title after winning lopsided match
Strongly disagree. The main series of WCC should have players playing at the highest level, so there should not be too much time pressure. If it's all draw, that means players are equal at that level, so the tie-breaker match has more time pressure.
innocenat··on Google Webfonts Helper – Self-Hosting Google Fonts
It's depend. For CJK fonts you don't want single big .woff2, you want to subset each font to smaller subset of characters, which Google Font does automatically.

innocenat··on Duff’s Device in 2021
Last I check, ICC is still leap and bound ahead of other compilers in autovectorization.

But still, if it's not hot spot, probably won't really change in real world situation. And if it is, you want to vectorize manually anyway.

innocenat··on Duff’s Device in 2021
This.

For trivial loop, Both GCC and clang optimize away the entire BasicLoop, but clang failed to optimize away the entire DuffDevice, while GCC did. Thus, the only thing doing the work is clang's Duff Device.

But even then, both GCC and clang optimize the BasicLoop function itself into just single add operation (data += loop_size) while it actually loops on the duff device function (though as mentioned, these functions weren't called from the benchmark)

innocenat··on But What's Up with That ¥?
I don't care either way. But that's probably because my native language of Thai have completely different keyboard layout that require me to switch to English layout anyway for backlash and other file path.
innocenat··on Decaying but beloved, Tokyo’s Capsule Tower faces uncertain future
It has been tried in court [0], at least for discrimination against foreigners. However, nobody really want to take the landlord to court, and moreover, you don't want to live in the housing that the landlord specifically don't want you. So while everyone let it slips, it's actually illegal and there is an existing cases.

There absolutely is a law preventing racial discrimination by landlord.
