Then came an inquiry about her schedule. Ms. Takaichi, the first woman in Japan’s history to serve as prime minister, seized the moment to make a point. She said her daily agenda was far busier than her male predecessors because she spends at least three hours on makeup, bathing, cooking and other chores.
“Finding the time to sit down and focus with a truly clear head is a challenge,” she told the room of lawmakers, a vast majority of them men. “I feel that, compared to a male prime minister, I might be spending an extra three or four hours on these tasks.”

Buster Schedule（破壞者調度/排程）在不同的電腦科學和資料處理領域有不同的含義。以下為您整理出最常見的三種核心解釋：
1. 資料工程：大體量資料批次處理 (Data Batching)
在巨量資料（Big Data）或資料倉儲（如 Snowflake、BigQuery）的語境下，“Buster” 通常指打破既有連續流程、進行大規模資料清理或轉換的排程任務。
- 主要目的：定期清除快取、整合零碎的小檔案（Compaction）、或執行大規模的歷史資料重寫。
- 運作邏輯：平時系統走微批次（Micro-batch）或串流（Streaming）以降低延遲，但每天或每週會啟動一次 Buster Schedule，將資料徹底重組以優化查詢效能。
2. 雲端運算：資源自動釋放 (Resource Buster)
在雲端架構（如 AWS、Azure）的運維中，這指的是自動清理過期、閒置資源的排程腳本（有時被稱為 Janitor 或 Buster 任務）。
- 主要目的：節省雲端成本，防止測試環境的機器被遺忘而持續扣款。
- 運作邏輯：設定每晚 10 點或每週末，強制關閉或刪除所有未打上「生產環境（Production）」標籤的開發用虛擬機（EC2）或容器。
3. 排程演算法：應對突發流量的「爆發調度」 (Burst/Buster Scheduling)
有時在作業系統或網絡調度中，它與 "Burst Schedule" 同義，指允許任務在短時間內突破常規資源限制的調度機制。
- 主要目的：確保高優先級或突發性的密集計算能快速完成。
- 運作邏輯：當系統偵測到特定佇列（Queue）堆積過多任務時，觸發 Buster 模式，將所有 CPU/頻寬資源集中供給該任務，直到消除積壓為止。
