I checked out your app but I'm not sure what it is for. I see that it has a map with tourist destinations in Toyko and an itinerary feature. But since I already have Google Maps and Calendar, I don't understand what new benefits this app brings. It is not very convenient to browse through the suggested tourist sites on the map or the explore list -- you need filters and categories.

For others like me that didn't know the term Sherlock:

It means "To obsolete a unique feature in third-party software by introducing a similar or identical feature to the OS or a first-party program/app." The term stems from Apple's 2002 release of Sherlock 3, which made a popular third-party app named "Watson" irrelevant.

Well shit, I feel betrayed. This is exactly the opposite of what I thought Charlie's goals were. I thought he was focused on making the Python ecosystem better.

Why is x-amz-bucket-namespace header needed when creating a new bucket in the account regional namespace? Is an account blocked from creating a bucket in its own namespace if it doesn't specify that header?

I was an intern at Fisher Price when they introduced the Pixter Color. I did QA on some of the games, the Dora one comes to mind. You can imagine the torture playing a level over and over.

The games were developed overseas (India I think?). I would send them bug reports in Mantis and overnight they would send a new build. Sometimes they would even fix the bugs. I would burn the builds on to EEPROMs and verify them the next day. The EEPROMS had a little round window so they could be erased in a UV box before programming.

Fisher Price used a video codec from Actimagine to fit video clips onto the game cartridges. That's how I learned about Virtualdub. I remember editing clips from a show called Winx.

The big competition was the Leapster LeapPad and they were trouncing us.

One fun thing the engineers did periodically was a toy teardown to see how competitors saved on cost. Cost was critical. They told me how Walmart basically dictates toy cost because they controlled the shelf space.

Short form video is tailored for the fast, instinctive, emotional brain. Not the slower, deliberative, logical brain.

Ironically, PFAS levels have been found to be higher in wealthy people. People with money own more furniture and clothing with stain resistant treatments, for example.

It's an important term in computer science. There is a good explanation on StackOverflow which I found by searching for "define: idempotent":

https://stackoverflow.com/a/1077421/111327

> In computing, an idempotent operation is one that has no additional effect if it is called more than once with the same input parameters. For example, removing an item from a set can be considered an idempotent operation on the set.

Various people have been claiming for years that the "notability" requirement is a threat to Wikipedia. Yet the project is still around and is still the go-to source for encyclopedic information.
