I doubt it's got much to do with either.

Overstaying a visa is likely a criminal offense depending on the length of the overstay, these people still have to leave the country, they're going to get caught and flagged. At a minimum they'll be prevented from re-entry but chances are there could be real punishment.

In terms of taxes, I really really doubt it, a DN is not taking a locals job, their clients & business are all out of country, their accounts and transactions are all overseas. Just figuring out what they owe and how to pay it in Japan would completely put people off using the Visa and I really doubt the Japanese government would think it worth the hassle for six months.
but that is a failure of the current system after Congress passd a law to fix a number of representatives in the house. There used to be a much smaller proportion of citizens to representatives than there is today. The excuse they used to fix the number was that it was ridiculous the number of individuals that would be in the House, but personally, I don't care if they have to hold it in a football stadium---- I want a representative that I might have met at my local coffee shop. That's the ideal and we need to get back to it.

i think you need a little more than a minute to chew on a good poem

maybe if the clock updated every 5-10 minutes instead, and leaned into the innaccuracy by making the time descriptions like "a little before 4" or "about half past five"?

reducing the refresh rate might also make it possible to make it wireless (i make wifi epaper gadgets that can last years on a single lipo by adjusting sleep times)
Adoption is limited by retail ISPs that refuse to roll out IPv6. But my AMZN stock thanks them.

I would have agreed w/ you 100% 18 months ago. And presently is is messy do to this in Postgres, but it's also messy to choose lots of tools that create sprawl and data islands.

We're spending a significant part of our R&D effort in 2024 towards making it cleaner/safer to do more in Postgres. We have a lot of work to do to build a great gitops developer experience. We're also prioritizing auto-scale, auto-suspend, and auto-tune projects to help reduce the cost of doing "lumpy" things in Postgres.

Would love to have you as a design partner @aurareturn — want to eventually win you over :) hit me up if you're interested in chatting ry [at] tembo [dot] io
I believe this is a cultural argument mascaraing as a technical one.

The honest truth is that we have had front end and back end developers for as long as the web has been around, and before that. Your "full stack" developers are most often back end developers who begrudgingly can put together a less complex front ends with very little understanding of what makes a front end good to work with. Your "full stack" front-end preferring developers get drummed out because the back end developers conflate being good at back end concepts with being good at programming in general.

There is a definite back-end bias with developers who do not specialize in web or mobile front ends.

For some applications, that's fine. However, back end developers build the back end frameworks and do not think about what makes a great experience for developing more complicated user experiences.

In many ways, the reason front end developers moved to SPAs was that they could better control their own tooling in ways that are difficult in the traditional web application frameworks.
Two thoughts:

Firstly, when you provide a normative assertion, at least couch it in positive terms.

“If you want X, then you should do Y.”

That way people at least know the tradeoffs you’re opting them into. I really can’t tell what trade offs the author is proposing are better for me.

Secondly, if you can’t build a system that actually decouples the frontend and the backend, that’s a “you” problem, not a technology problem. I have successfully designed and implemented many APIs that operated completely independently of the UI, allowing both the UI and power users to interact with our platform through a shared service.

I do get so tired of people presuming their specific issues are everyone’s issues. I have zero problem with the tooling of an SPA, my ability to customize is increased, not decreased, when I use an SPA, and when I’m working with other people, they often prefer not having to think about the whole stack, which makes them happier.

This is one of those articles you read that shows up “unplugged” from the culture in which it originated. The author demonstrates the value of talking to others in a given field, and the pitfalls that one can get trapped in when one doesn’t socialize enough professionally.
It's 3500kg including payload, so the car in question would be essentially unusable under the rule.
I recently used those to repair a friends scooter (a cheap knock off of the Xiamomi M365). Water ingress through the charge port seems like a foregone conclusion and it shorted some wires running from the motor controller to the dashboard PCB, frying both. I swapped out all the JST connectors for marine grade solder sleeves. It's less "repairable" now, but hopefully a lot less likely to need repair in the first place.

From the first looks of it, it seems it expects me to work there for a company and not 'nomad'?
I mean sure, but the chances of that ever being enforced are close to 0. I'm a full time digital nomad for over a year in various latin american countries, always on tourist visas. Nobody notices or cares.

The only time I ever had an issue is when entering the united states, the immigration department gave me a grilling because my passport showed that I was clearly a nomad and they expected me to be working online.

Go ahead, take that holiday.

Indeed and it’s also good to not look at the grandparent comment and draw any sort of false equivalence here. The sort of problems grandparent describes certainly do exist in PR systems, but GP is describing a system that gets it something like 90% right vs FPTP which is completely and utterly broken beyond repair
> Wage growth is a bit misleading without factoring out inflation.

The article literally mentions inflation right after, followed by what the real wage growth works out to.

>Wages are growing at more than 5%:

>insert chart here

>And inflation is around 3%:

>insert chart here

>So we’re talking 2% real wage growth and 6% nominal economic growth. [...]

I can see this being misleading if you used "Wages are growing at more than 5%" as the headline or something, but I don't think anyone is being misled unless they have the attention of a goldfish.
That's why I said gradually and state-by-state.

Honestly I think a main way it could be adopted is imposition by the courts -- we've seen increasing cases of "stalemates" where states can't seem to produce maps acceptable to the courts at all. So courts do have the ability to say, "if you can't produce a satisfactory map, we will, and this is it."

I'm not saying it's easy or quick, I'm just saying it's in the realm of the possible, unlike PR.
The article indicates that inflation is accounted for: "Even in the face of rising prices, low-wage workers have experienced historically fast real wage growth."
Talking with so and so, the general consensus is that women will never get credit, black folks will never vote, etc etc

Better to just give up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What happens when there's collusion, e.g. protecting incumbency at all costs? This tends to be the M.O. here in Florida, where the Democrats in office are satisfied without statewide power as long as their asses continue to be the ones in the allotted seats.

I've never used crunchbang++, but I've used bunsen labs' official version and also run a couple devuan/bunsenlabs hybrids made by adding the repository to devuan.

I think I want to try the last edition of crunchbang on some of my old machines, just to see how much memory it was taking up back then. I remember that it was less than the modern editions, but I don't remember how much less.
> Better UX for slow networks

Don't you think the case can be made against SPA's w.r.t slow networks ?

Angular, react add hundreds of KB's to frontend bundle which give bad UX especially in slow networks
Technology for direct democracy makes the need for elected representatives obsolete.
This fiasco is infamous, but such situations at the death of a ruler were not unusual. The lines between "King" and "Warlord" are small. At the time, non-violent transitions of power were the exception. When such a person dies it is normal for everyone to panic. Anyone owed money, and the King owed everyone money, would grab what they could in full knowledge that the dead ruler's debts were unlikely to ever be paid. Even stripping the body was not extreme. A king's daily clothing could easily be worth many years wages for a servant. Everyone would retreat to their homes in full knowledge that armies would soon be on the roads. Valuables would be buried and livestock taken to higher pastures out of sight. Ships would put to sea. It was always a time of fear.
Awesome, thank you!

> In theory, if the cumulative DDL gets too complex, you can just reverse engineer a clean db schema and refactor/blow away all the delta-type code.

We use Liquibase at $WORK and I often end up playing the whole changelog locally to then inspect the results on the DB server. Recreating a mental model of the DB structure by reading the changesets gets really hard really fast.
My lived experience tells me that's just not true, but sure, fancy graphs never lie.
Cohesion is an old pre-industrial strategy in my opinion. With the advent of industrial scale tech and no limit to the amount of currency one can have..I think things are somewhat social darwinistic now.

The media is the problem much more than the parties. The parties want to focus on their differences, but there's nothing forcing the media to focus on them. Any candidate that steps outside the traditional talking points is ignored/delegitimized:

I have a hard time believing those are all honeypots. I think it is more likely that deployment configurations (with LBs, proxies, etc) are more varied than the author expects. It doesn't surprise me at all that there are overlapping and missing indicators of different services exposed on a single port
It's not out of the question, but foreigners already have a tough time getting housing in Japan with a Residency Card. There are very real concerns people have about not getting paid for rent, or people not being able to support themselves. This is why normally, residents will have a guarantor sign documents with them to ensure that the landlord is made whole if something goes awry.

I would also expect, pessimistically, that the housing for foreigners on this visa will, if offered, be significantly more expensive than normal housing on the expectation that foreigners can afford it. Maybe this won't be the case, but I think it will definitely make an already-annoying problem harder.

why are cities trying to attract nomads? They are almost by definition doing location arbitrage, thus paying less in both their country of origin and country of destination.
Good story, retold in typical style by Horrible Histories here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=289IDfmm8fM

A bit OT, but "The Last English King" by Julian Rathbone is an excellent historical novel surrounding the Battle of Hastings, told from a Saxon PoV. It's funny that even now, nearly 1000 years later, Hastings is generally felt from an English view as a defeat, despite being the founding event of the English monarchy. As alluded to in the video above.

> Most of us had full control of our devices growing up, right?

Devices, yes. Internet connection: not at first. With the AOL app (not a separate appliance or OS feature) responsible for establishing the dialup connection, it only bridged internet access to the OS when the current AOL user had no parental controls. As a 10-14 year old whose AOL account was set to "young teen" (DNS allow list) and then "mature teen" (DNS deny list), I was free to use non-AOL apps but they had no internet access. Solution: download a keylogger* and subsequently use a parent's AOL account for the next few years until they removed controls from mine, giving full Internet access to the whole computer, without being found out.

*The free version had a "pay for this" nag popup every few minutes. I opened the exe in a hex editor, typed over that nag string, and managed to corrupt it just enough that it would crash (with a totally generic fatal error) instead of nag. Launched it right before finding mom or dad to help me do some safe but blocked activity, which they were always happy to do, with increased supervision.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: I’m really proud of my most recent app, Too Phishy. It’s by far the best anti-phishing add-on I’ve seen in the Google Workspace store. That being said, it hasn’t caught on as much as I would have hoped or as fast as I would have hoped.

In an effort to build one app per month, I have to be more ruthless than other app builders in terms of timing. Things have to take off fast, or it’s time to pivot. So I’ve decided to pivot into new ventures. Here’s my blog post explaining why.
Tips for Remote Workers
I worked from home for over 7 years.

Here are my top 20 tips for achieving maximum productivity:

.
'...

1. Find something that you enjoy doing most of the time. This is not a cliche. It is doable.

2. Get fiber internet, a 4k or better camera, an active noise-cancellation microphone/headset, and lights. It will pay dividends.

3. Separate living from a working environment. When I shut the door of my basement, that's it. Work begins.

4. I have my "office" shoes. I am primed to think that work just started when I am in them. It's a neat way to divide my routines.

5. Occasionally, go to a coffee shop or work with somebody you like for a day. Or go to the office.

6. Prioritize focused time. Block some time on your calendar without distractions. Just deep work. Google Calendar now even offers it under "focused time." I call it "doing the important work."

7. Always turn off sounds, notifications, and other distractions.

8. Please just put your phone out of sight and out of reach when on your laptop/desktop.

9. If you work on a computer, get a standing desk. That's it. Period. Go! And get that standing mat, too.

10. Figure out what calms you. Example: Sometimes, I take a shower in the middle of the day. On other days, I take a nap or go jogging.

11. It's OK not to be productive. Take time off the screen. Do it often.

12. Set up times in your calendar for (1) meals, (2) exercise, and (3) hobbies.

13. Try to have at least one day/week without meetings. Book it off. Fridays are good days for that.

14. Jam as many meetings together as possible. Keep meetings from being spread out too much. It will kill your productivity.

15. Do meetings standing. You'll finish them quicker.

16. avoid bringing digital/office gear to your bedroom.

17. Have two computers. One for work. One for fun.

18. Have something nearby that helps you to decompress... I have an electric guitar + and a loud amp.

19. Print out some valuable reminders. I have a picture that says: "Be kind to your mind."

20. If you can't get away from the virtual office, do something where you have to apply your undivided attention. For example, I do MTB or a long drive to someplace. Or do anything where you can't have the internet, and that'll do. :)

Keep creating
I've had a lot of trouble with hiring lately due to being a generalist. I've spent 10 years as a developer but not more than 2-3 at a time in a specific "stack." This has hurt me more times than I can remember.

However, I've built amazing things for amazing companies when I do get jobs. I've architected and built end-to-end products by myself and within teams. A few projects I've worked on: a web scraping product, data labeling software for machine learning, commercial eyetracking software, a custom learning management system, machine learning models from scratch, high volume image processing, etc. In each of these projects too I did end-to-end work. Development, deployment, infrastructure, ops.

Each one of these products though was with a different stack. JS, C#, Clojure, C++, Java, Python, the list goes on.

Common feedback I've received is that I'm not experienced enough to deliver in a role. Anecdotally, engineers that I talk to where I'm located have spent their entire careers using only JS, building Next.js sites or whatever the current hotness is. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it does seem like the landscape has shifted to the specialists.
still CRA applies.
This isn't a pokemon like game though, it is nothing like pokemon at all except the design of the monsters. Palworld is Ark but without all the grinding and pokemon instead of dinosaurs, but add a factory aspect where you can automate everything with those pokemons unlike the ark grinding and add a lot more content like bosses and events and npc's.

Arks niche at the time was taming dinosaurs, today that isn't anything special but Palworld take that concept and makes everything much better about it and around it. Other than dinosaurs that Ark is the worst survival game I've ever played, but the dinosaurs is what makes that game tick, and you don't have to spend much time on other aspects of the game.

This is outright creepy. A company collecting and profiting from your sleep information.

Despite claiming “privacy is core to [their] mission”¹, they disclose your information to third-parties² while trying to weasel out by saying they don’t sell it “for money”. They use it instead to “[analyze their] marketing effectiveness and providing you with relevant content and advertising”. So it’s for money with extra steps. They continue:

> which may qualify as “selling” or sharing Personal Information for “targeted advertising” under the laws of some states.

Yes, it “may qualify” because that’s what you’re doing.

As seems to be the case for another commenter, the double Crichton’s was one of my favorite parts. What it introduced to the storytelling and narrative and characterization was a unique depth and capacity for analysis and consequence that I’m surprised hasn’t been emulated since.
I'd say he should face the consequences that he is facing: heavy social condemnation, maybe with a touch of shunning.
There are also just normal bugs and known limitations and acceptable risks.
