으악 송년회 오늘인줄알고 헛걸음했네
the UNIX v4 tape reminded me of this story by Ali Akurgal about Turkish bureaucracy:
Do you know what the unit of software is? A meter! Do you know why? In 1992, we did our first software export at Netaş. We wrote the software, pressed a button, and via the satellite dish on the roof, at the incredible speed of 128 kb/s, we sent it to England. We sent the invoice by postal mail. $2M arrived at the bank. 3-4 months passed, and tax inspectors came. They said, “You sent an invoice for $2M?” “Yes,” we said. “This money has been paid?” they asked. “Yes,” we said. “But there is no goods export; this is fictitious export,” they said! So we took the tax inspectors to R&D and sat them in front of a computer. “Would you press this ‘Enter’ key?” we asked. One of them pressed it, then asked, “What happened?” “You just made a $300k export, and we’ll send its invoice too, and that will be paid as well,” we said. The man felt terrible because he had become an accomplice! Then we explained how software is written, what a satellite connection is, and how much this is worth. They said, “We understand, but there has to be a physical goods export; that’s what the regulations require.” So we said: “Let’s record this software onto tape (there were no CDs back then—nor cassettes; we used ½-inch tapes) and send that.” Happy to have found a solution, they said, “Okay, record it and send it.” The software filled two reels, which were handed to a customs broker, who took them to customs and started the export procedure. The customs officer processed things and at one point asked, “Where are the trucks?” The broker said, “There are no trucks—this is all there is,” and pointed to the tape reels on the desk. The customs officer said, “These two envelopes can’t be worth $2M; I can’t process this.” We went to court, an expert committee examined whether the two reels were worth $2M. Fortunately, they ruled that they were, and we were saved from the charge of fictitious export. The same broker took the same two reels to the same customs officer, with the court ruling, and restarted the procedure. However, during the process, the unit price, quantity, and total price of the exported goods had to be entered—as per the regulations. To avoid dragging things out further, they looked at the envelope, saw that it contained tape, estimated how many meters of tape there are on one reel, and concluded that we had exported 1k to 2k meters of software. So the unit of software became the meter.

읍내에서 본 글인데 중요한 부분만 발췌: substack.com/home/post/p-... "일본에는 선택지가 있다. 하나는 일본은행의 개입 없이 시장이 금리를 결정하도록 허용하는 것이다. 이는 엔화를 안정시키겠지만, 훨씬 높은 장기금리와 부채 위기라는 대가를 치르게 된다. 다른 하나는 금리를 계속 억제하는 것인데, 이 경우 엔화는 계속 하락할 것이다."
안타깝지만(?) 일본분들은 이제 과거 정치인들이 뻘짓한 대가를 치뤄야할때가 거의 다 온듯함 아마 일본 열도가 가라앉기전에 국민들이 그지되는 전개로 가지 않을까 예상.

일반입장권 입장 시작 시간인 1시 조금 전에 도착했는데 줄이 생각보다 길어서 조금 기다렸다가 들어가니 입구에는 유리히메측에서 써둔 인사말과 역대 년도별 잡지 표지가 전시되어있었다 인사말에는 동성애에 관련된 말도 적어줘서 좋았음
유리히메전 재밌었다~

正直、iOSでWebKit以外がつかえるようになるのは、ブラウザエンジンの多様性にとっては、マイナスに働くほうが大きそうだなと思ってる
多様なレンダリングエンジンをiOSでも使えるようになる、ということ自体はもちろん良いことだ。
で、「これでiOSユーザにもBlinkを強制できる」みたいに、多様さを殺す方向で考える人が少なくないんよなー、しかもサービス提供側だけじゃなくユーザ側にもいるんよなあ
iOSでWebKitしか使えない、ってことによって多様性がかろうじて保たれてたんだとしたら、それはどっちにしろ早晩危うくなってたともおもうけどね

I've published npm packages before, but it was like ten years ago and they were all crap. But now I've published one which is decent!
https://www.npmjs.com/package/discrete-probabilities
This is an implementation of the paper "Discrete Probabilistic Programming" by Oleg Kiselyov and Chung-chieh Shan. It provides tools for working with probability distributions as first class values. I made a number of modifications and I am pleased with the result.
I have a blog post brewing, where I hope to provide a walkthrough of the implementation. It may take a while for me to have the free time that this will require, but eventually it will be a way for me to show some of the quirky (good) approaches I took.
