That's BS. Completely untrue.
You just aren't reading/listening to Japanese people on the subject.
No one is freaking out, but we're all tense at more or less the same level, as per our individual personalities.

I live in Japan as well & told my family the same a long time back. There aren't that many other specifics you can plan for, with the family typically spread across the city on the average day, but at least grab a bathtub of clean water to see you through a few days till things settle down.
Now we get to see & analyze the "real life" reaction to this dress rehearsal. I'm sure everyone knew without this that a real alert would be full of SNAFUs, but you don't usually get a chance to see what they would really be if everyone actually believed the alert was real.
Hopefully (and I think they will ) they'll be smart enough to use this rare opportunity.
I question all these comments by people singling out npm as the root of the problem. doesn't sound to me like they fully understand the issue.
that's the same for any javascript package manager - yarn or bower would be the same.
I thought npm was simply a package manager - I don't see anything in the article that is specific to npm, except he happens to say that word.
I found it ironic that the corner of the last paragraph was obscured by an "Up Next" pop-open, ready to push me on to the next thing before I'd even had a moment to digest it.
It's a volunteer project, so you get a mixed bag, but there are some very good voices in there as well.
An ORM turns your result into a collection of objects. THAT is what an ORM is for and about.
The fact that they are built on top of query builders and lighten the load when developing is just a handy side effect.
Credit card was the same for me, although friends have had easier time. I owned a house, a car, registered a business - could not get a personal cc with company my family had been using for over 10 years without doing major banter and restrictions.
I can't imagine a foreigner coming over here with no spousal connections and setting up a company for a year.
Many places like large swaths of Africa and Asia skipped building much of the traditional landlines and went straight to cell phones.
With so much of the electric grid literally wiped out, wouldn't it be cool to see them rebuild in a more future-looking fashion with many of the ideas around solar & community batteries, rather than a traditional grid?
As I said, I know that's not terribly realistic...unless Elon wanted to have a laboratory and made some big donations to prove a point. It is the kind of thing he is known for, for reasons different than most people realize (unless you read that fascinating article about him from last year).
Interesting to discuss, anyway, so go for it.
Japanese workers who work longer hours DO make more.
This is because no one cares (primarily) about worker productivity - they care about being a "team player" & similar intangibles.
Most Japanese salaries are quite low at the beginning and for the early years, but increase over time until at the last part of your career with the company you are living nicely and prepared for retirement.
Team players are promoted. Non-team players are not.
So, for places outside the Japanese corporate world the idea of less hours == more pay may hold true, but in the situation they chose to highlight in the story that is completely wrong. There, you make more over your career by "butt in seat" time, and little else in most cases.
Putting your hands in the soil, seeing the growth & blooms, eating your produce - very satisfying!
Here is a relevant article from today:

Like tobacco, too much resistance in the US means Oxycontin is going global.
A shame the presidential candidates don't seem (as far as I'm aware) to have mentioned this epidemic as one of the important crisis facing America. Might have resonated deeper than ISIS or some other things.
DO visit each of their sites & see what they actually sell/market
DO make 6-8 version of your cover letter to fit different niches, and tweak each one to be a bit more personal before sending out
DO get a decent way to track them like they are customers (ie, a CRM or some good tool) so you remember to stay in touch.
Don't send anything that reads like a mass-mailed spam! Something as simple as "I see you are all in Boulder. My Dad went to UC" may sound a little corny but they need to see they aren't getting a form letter, and they need a way to remember you out of the crowd.
It is a lot of work, but over time it pays off.
first of all, that's theft. he has no right to distribute it independently, even if it is free. HN needs to remove that link
secondly, your email on a list that you can unsubscribe from is the price of what must have been hundreds of hours of work. if you like his course, he offers something even deeper you can buy. stop expecting everyone to give their life away for your benefit.
That's only personal experience, however, and mostly out-of-date
That said, I would hope any of them would be a step up on the new programmers from the "churn 'em out" short courses many are forced to take as the only affordable way they have to get into the industry, but then are left with little knowledge beyond how to get the requirements fulfilled.
That's all well and fine, and possibly completely accurate. However, many people's takeaway is going to be the out-of-context & incorrect title of this post. (It does not say TDD is worthless - it says it is essentially the same as TLD)
I've always looked at TDD as a tool to help push less experienced, less "educated" developers into 1) even using tests at any point of the development cycle, 2) creating tighter, cleaner and MORE TESTABLE code by the time they've reached the end of the cycle.
So, if your team is and always will be well-educated, experienced programmers who already understand how to always do everything correctly from the beginning, feel free to use either method.
Otherwise, I'd urge you to consider TDD.

I don't believe they are capable of writing the "siphon" they are accused of. To be honest, I don't think they actually have engineers. I think they just use summer interns.
it was late...
