I use to prank the telemarketers but unable to with robo callers. One a woman called wanting me to switch long distance carriers. I halfway listened to her spill for twenty minutes while watching TV. Finally she wanted me to switch. Told her I couldn't for I was house sitting. She asked about my home number. Told her I only had a beeper. She asked me why I let her talk so long. Told her she had such a lovely voice and I enjoyed listening to it. She slammed the phone down on me.
It’s only good times when you can afford being depressed.

I find great joy thinking about next cycle of growth, imagine how cool it would be, what new great products and tech it will bring.
In the absence of data, saying this is just as speculative as saying any other ratio. There's no reason to think any particular ratio is the correct one.

That's why I was very careful to point out that I was talking about my personal experience, and wasn't generalizing it to the field as a whole. I have no data to support any speculation about the field as a whole.
Japan is not particularly expensive. It's significantly cheaper than USA, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, NZ, etc.

US$68,000 is enough for a very comfortable life there.

It's more about taxes. If you apply for a working visa you can be flagged as having revenue generated while in the country, so you'll pay an income tax on it.

The other side of it is visa overstay: it's more financially viable for working people to overstay their visa, where pure tourist have to go back at some point.

Terrorists will be flagged whatever they do, as international money transfers are already heavily scrutinized and under a working visa you still have to declare your work.
...or nice warm winters. Nobody wants to be there between June-September, but outside that it's much better than suffering in rainy gloomy Scotland or another unfortunate European country. And your tax is 0% as a bonus. There is also Andorra with 10% tax but it can get ugly during autumn/winter there as well.
As a candidate, I tend to raise an eyebrow at an org hiring exclusively for middle-management positions. It isn't a red flag but it's generally a yellow one.
I used a vim template plugin (I believe called vim-templates, believe it or not) to get some YAML and formatting boilerplate, and then I think I rendered against the default templates. I do remember having to adjust the defaults for some reports, though.
It is indeed for an international audience - language learners or people who are generally interested in learning about other languages and cultures.

There are various slang dictionaries for specific languages or countries, but as far as I could tell there were none taking slang from different languages and explaining it to foreigners.

Adding definitions in different languages would make the moderation process quite a bit more complicated, and it would also defeat the purpose of explaining slang to an external audience.
A very interesting coincidence indeed. Nice to see that others have also thought about the same problem and have found solutions similar to mine. :)
Applying for a visa probably entails explaining where your money is coming from, such low effort barriers actually helps a ton since most criminals aren't very conscientious.
To each their own - I think its rather crass to castigate a whole country because your own travel didn't find whatever deeper level bond you were searching for.

I for one am suspect at being able make a good friend that lasts forever in 5 minutes. That sounds more like power dynamics in that you had something to offer them then some kind of mutual friendship based on shared interests. That said to each their own.

Mine had no smarts in it at all. The programmability from the factory was a plug in timer similar to a block heater timer, but that wasn't with the unit when I bought it. If you supply power, the auger turns until the power is disconnected. As in the motor is wired directly to the power cord, with only a thermal cutout in line. The timer I use allows you to set interval in minutes and duration in seconds. They're commonly sold as "inching" timers, which I suspect is a translation error but it's descriptive enough.
Whereas FPTP systems are a roaring success?
"No money" is obviously a figure of speech. I rephrase: Why would they want people with "significantly less than 58k/68k provable income"?

"Digital nomad" can encompass many and any thing. It seems sensible to target higher earners if they can. It's not about how nicely you think you can live, it's about the benefits a country seeks in letting foreigners in.

I'm in the market for more than 15 years. Currently I'm a tech lead in an agency. I love working on exciting projects, learning new stuff and leading optimized solutions.

As an example, our last challenge was a cron that had to be ran daily to do some heavy data crunching. It was a legacy script running in PHP. Problem is it was taking more than 24 hours to finish, so a new cycle would start before the last ended. I lead a refactor of this service as a micro service in go and the whole process now takes less than 10 minutes.
People seem to underestimate how limiting tourist visas actually are.

Imagine you sell digital products automated or something like that. You would have to literally shut your website down if you go somewhere on a tourist visa so you don't accidently make money.

You might think there are exceptions, but no there usually aren't.

And now imagine you actually live from a digital business you run yourself. You literally can't travel on a tourist visa.

I can't legally leave the EU, more or less, as I have no control when and where I earn money. I also wouldn't travel so far for just a month or two so this is really speaking to me :)

Thanks. What a relief. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
Price for a Lilly insulin box of 4 pens is 80€ in France. It is cheaper in the US. State funded social security, at least in France IS an incentive for pharma companies to hike up the price because there's no control authority whatsoever and the state's budget is literally treated as free money by private companies. You can also see this happening for construction projects, IT projects etc
'Furman said Schulte continued his crimes from behind bars by trying to leak more classified materials and by creating a hidden file on his computer that contained 2,400 images of child sexual abuse that he continued to view from jail."

I wonder how he had so much access to technology and his own files while behind bars? I'm not inclined to believe this is false and even if the CSAM is part of a CIA prank (as someone else suggested here), this part of the case would still be quite illegal.
Can you share a ballpark estimate of what embedded runtime licenses cost? I really don't want to engage your marketing department to find out.

No, that’s not what it means.
If I read that correctly, in the second case someone can bypass the pinning feature to access your personal information via the default browser's active sessions. That would be a compromise if that's the case.
> support - whether external customers or internal stakeholders - is a game of hot potato

I’d like to shift this a little:

Support who’s primary metric is handle time is in a game of hot potato.

From a business perspective the managers and leaders always feel like there’s too many fires which inevitably leads to either pressure on front-lines to “go faster” and “stop doing unnecessary work” (aka “taking time away from the fires”) or some level of management that’s intentionally blocking higher-ups from seeing those fires so that they look like they are managing the department well (and in this case not only is there the same pressure on the front-lines, but there’s additional pressure about not reaching out to anyone except through that manager.

When the primary metric is handle time, the issues pile up, there’s never enough people to handle it, and the business slowly sinks as no one with a budget sees the “ounce of prevention [that can prevent a pound of cure]”.

However: If the metric is minimum number of departments an issue touches before it’s resolved it’s a whole different thing. Suddenly playing hot potato is a problem and “problem ownership” is praised. There are other metrics too that produce different support cultures (and sometimes different games), but the reason hot potato is so popular is that those other metrics all require top-level execs to be comfortable with spending now to save down the road.

A digital nomad visa serves an important purpose: it allows someone to stay in the country longer than as a tourist. The existence of a digital nomad visa bolsters the understanding that digital nomads are allowed to use a tourist visa.

A working visa is very difficult to get in most countries and requires local sponsorship because of the risk to the local economy — you’re potentially taking a local job from local people. Tourist visas are easy to get because there’s no risk: a tourist arrives, spends money, leaves. A digital nomad is a tourist by every measure.

The reason tourist visas are short is to ensure people don’t move to the country without permission. A digital nomad doesn’t present a risk to the local economy so bumping their length of stay is safe for the local economy, hence, digital nomad visas.
It reminds me tremendously of exactly one year ago, when the prevailing wisdom among the Bay Area elite was that the Fed was constrained in being unable to sustain high interest rates. The reasons given were always bunk, e.g. Congress can’t afford the interest, but clearly not debatable.

With the benefit of hindsight, it makes sense why regional bank management steeped in this culture would get caught sideways by resiliently-high rates. (I’m not seeing the predictable effect of the current misassessment. Maybe good angel opportunities outside the valley.)
This is probably correct...for now. However, I think the next decade will see SPAs become simpler and we're already starting to see it. In some ways, I'd argue that Livewire is an example of that. I think Remix (JS) offers a full-stack experience where you just create an `action` function of what you want run on the server. Remix can be pre-rendered on the server so pages don't need to download lots of JS before stuff is displayed to the user for the initial page load.

I think WebAssembly is also going to be bringing innovations. .NET's Blazor is probably the furthest along at this point and it allows you to create an app that's rendered on the server and then WASM is downloaded in the background to enable all the interactivity. It can also operate like Livewire with websockets if you prefer. While Blazor might be here today, we'll probably see more coming. Rust's Leptos looks really cool and allows you to use its `#[server]` macro to define functions to be run on the server instead of the browser.

I think that we're going to start seeing better options for creating SPAs without needing to maintain two separate codebases.
No they can't. It costs an obscene amount of money and insurance won't cover it unless you get a sleep study ($$$$$) and it proves you have sleep apnea. Don't have apnea but still snore? Tough luck!
Just skimmed through their docs, and still haven't seen a "what this is for" statement. Please, if you are writing documentation, give one solid, end to end use case example, it goes such a long way in promoting your product.
It's exciting to see progress, but I think 180 days is too short for this to be worthwhile for people who really wanted this. They've leaned heavily into the "nomad" part, but the issue is more of practicality. This visa doesn't come with a Residency Card, which means that getting a traditional lease in Japan is going to be difficult. For 6 months, you'll be on an uphill battle with some services like housing, which can be important. It's just long enough that you won't want to maintain a home in your home country unless it's paid for, and short enough that it makes moving your possessions impractical. You also can't renew it, and you have to be out of the country for 6 months before you can get it again.

I think this would be very appealing if it was a 1 year visa at minimum, but comparable visas (e.g., the Taiwan Gold Card) are up to 3 years. I'm not terribly upset at the lack of Individual Number or Residence Card, but the length is definitely something that makes it unappealing except in the most nomad-of-nomad situations.

Apparently they'll be opening it for public comments in the second half of February. They said that they based the 6 month time period on questions they asked foreigners about how long they would want to stay -- so maybe this is the time to push for a longer period of time.
> Do you read/write with your tongue?

No, but every now and then I get out of my cave and meet people and have to use my voice. You should try it. Are you always this confrontational?

> How would the OS know what mode you're in? How would it know know what command is expecting input in a sequence?

The OS doesn't need to know what mode you're using in vim to send another key. But you could make a plugin to change the window title and let the modtap program listen for that.

I use window class and title for my window manager to handle programs differently, I don't see why a modtap program couldn't if that is something you want. Use your imagination.

> And this is relevant how? Modal text editing isn't universal functionality, so?

I'm not the one bitching about missing modal functionality in programs. That's why it's relevant, what programs meet your expectations? I see that is conveniently one of the few questions you skipped answering from my last comment, so I'm going to assume none?

> Explain exactly how normal mods do it "just as well"

Regarding latency? Not listening for the next key means no latency? But you knew this. The only reason I brought up latency was that coords are not a good choice in insert mode. Use it if you want, I don't. Don't make such a deal about something I mentioned in passing.

> Nope, you just didn't get the irony: "Bad solution → similarly bad solution"

Please tell me you're a child...

> And then those standard motions select the whole comment instead of the next sentence.

Have you even used it? Stop hallucinating ChatGPT.

> Bump "some" to "a lot" and you'll be closer to understanding

I never claimed it does everything vim does. Do you expect your e-mail client to compile programs? Emacs might be more your cup of tea, you'll never have to leave it. Most people are completely fine with the different ways different programs implement vim keys in their context, usually just movements, sometimes yank and move. It's very convenient for most of us.

> No you weren't. In your ignorance you mistook a complicated question for a simple one and later proceeded to try to prove to me that my problem doesn't even exist,

I asked why it was a problem and proposed solutions and workarounds. I'll try to ask again because I'm genuinely curious, what programs do you use that support modtap and meet your standards?

You obviously have strong feelings about a program you don't even use. What programs are not garbage and have no-nonsense UI for modtap? Do they even exist or are you just looking for a reason to whine about a program you have no intentions of using?

Do I understand you correctly? Modtap is the issue? Or is it the lack of a GUI for configuration?
wages going up 4.5% after three years of inflation averaging above 4.5% is not an improvement.

The article talks a lot about technology choice, but not about given product. I do tend to agree – that SPAs are not necessary, but I would not use this article as an argument.

And if somebody would present this article to me – I would not take it seriously. The fact that author is using very interesting language when refering to React and Angular does not help. I'd love to hear customer-centric or product-centric reasoning.
* Don't use SPA because customers hate it when you change entire app on them.
* Don't use SPA, because customers of our particular product require faster turn-around.
* Don't use SPA, because they are harder to test in our organisation.
Philips doesn't actually make any of that stuff. All of its consumer facing brands have been spun out or sold off. When you buy Philips headphones you're buying headphones by whatever Chinese company has the license this year.
Assertive is not aggressive. But for some reason this statement angers a good many people, because I’ve made this statement multiple times on here in the last decade and seen that response repeatedly.
I don't mean the weather. I mean the horrendous 'bling' culture, complete car dependency that would make even LA blush and everything that goes along with it. While Dubai is a massive impressive display of what humanity can do so quickly, the place gives me the shudders. Obviously YMMV but it is not comparable to Japan.
When I lived in a hot American city, the saving grace was that at both office jobs there was a shower available. After breakfast I'd stuff my work clothes in a backpack, bike to work in shorts, take a quick shower, and arrive at my desk the most clean and refreshed person in the department.
Yes. You do realize that once you're turned away you're in the system and will be subsequently auto-rejected? And yes, they've plugged the obvious "throw away your ID" loophole.

I still don't understand the belief that Epstein must not have killed himself. I can understand feeling like he might have been killed but I don't know what gives people the conviction that he must have been.

I feel similarly about this case. Is it really that bizarre to think that a person who decides to work for the CIA and then decides to leak information would also have CSAM?
You are right, the website needs way more entries. I work on this project while also working full-time, but one of my biggest wishes has been to invest more time into getting people to add more entries.

That being said - entries are not organized by the latest addition, so there are more entries from the past few years.
There's a checkbox on the customs form that asks if you are a terrorist.
Frankly, I don't think such projects should be left up to the private sector to develop. If we did space travel that way we'd make the first moon landing in 2038.

This sort of live saving research is the best contender for R&D by government grants, if it's a worthy cause it can be supported for a long time (like fusion is being), and when the solution is found it can be immediately shared and sold at cost for the benefit of everyone, not hoarded by one company and sold at a ridiculous price to people that are forced to buy it or die.
The big question for us to be able to figure anything out based on this: what did that chart look like in other years?

Healthcare and government are enormous slices of the economy. I'd expect them to be at or near the top of hiring much of the time. IDK about hospitality.

Yeah, heavy regulation is that reason. Somehow, heavy regulation that doesn't kick-in when they do something wrong, but only kicks-in when a smaller company wants to make a first product.

But well, it's an area that needs regulation. It's just the format that isn't looking good.

There is a difference between de jure and de facto.

Defacto, going 61mph in a 60 is legal practically everywhere. De jure, it's not (the law is on the books).

Same as jaywalking. It's more of a law to pass responsibility in an accident (i.e. if you were jaywalking and got hit by a motor vehicle - you are at fault because of jaywalking. Jaywalking itself is very rarely prosecuted as a standalone thing)
