TIL: Japan’s geothermal energy potential is HUGE (3rd highest globally), but harnessing it is blocked by outdated Onsen Association heads.

Japan doesn’t have many natural resources, and living on a huge crack in tectonic plates has its costs, but it _could_ pay off in terms of cheap electricity for everyone in the country. Sadly, old attitudes prevent this from happening.

Watched "Boiling Point"[1]. Really liked it, even though me being pretty conflict averse, I thought watching a tense disaster drama would be hard (the name gives it away, really).

And it's not an easy movie to watch, for sure. Still, cinematography, acting and the whole *realness* of what's happening on the screen is fantastic!

P.S. All 90 minutes of the movie is a single continuous shot from a single camera, which is just unbelievable!

As far as I can tell this is it, the purest nerd artifact across synth and tech cultures. It’s hours of talks from 1977 West Coast Computer Faire about digital synthesis, with talks from Jeff Raskin and John Chowning among others. https://archive.org/details/camvchm_000031

It is *intense* just how badly the JS/React brainworms have infected the frontend community.

Every single NYT story page has *both* a 437KiB (1.5MiB unzipped) *and* a 474KiB (1.7MiB) file, to display ~50K of text. It isn't ad bloat. It isn't tracking. It's this sort of bunk:

If you've seen @brucelawson et. al.'s work on ending the #AppleBrowserBan, you might wonder why Japan, the EU, and the UK are far ahead of the US:
