VSCode's popup menus are hot garbage because they don't take those guidelines into account. You try to move the mouse, move one pixel in the wrong perfect direction and the popup d…

Japan was world-beating in what categories 30 years ago (1993)? It wasn't computers. Cars? Toyota is still #1 in the world. What else? Phones (no). > Japan has dozens of payment sy…

I like all the rebuttals but the top still strikes me as mostly unsubstantiated claims > That (gerontocracy) in turn has caused Japanese companies to fall behind foreign rivals as …

someone will turn this into politics at some point. Someone will promote that reds use Android and Windows PCs, blues use iPhone and Macs. Then you'll need to fall in line or get c…

I'm more of a camelCase person than a snake_case, probably because I've been writing lots of JavaScript for the last 10 years. But, .... You could argue that camelCase is culturall…

It's also incredible and probably one of the many reasons they are so successful in Japan is the don't charge more for products out of a vending machine. A typical vending machine …

Maybe in your neck of the woods but vending machines a relatively rare in the USA (relatively to Japan) because they will be abused, vandalized, burglarized, and destroyed. You gen…

They generally switch the machines from mostly cold drinks in the summer to 20-30% hot drinks in the winter. It's a well known and common way to warm your hands, buy a hot drink fr…

looks like they were highest ever in the SF Bay area just 1 week after Thanksgiving but they've fallen quickly https://covid19.sccgov.org/dashboard-wastewater

> dehumanizing So you effectively just insulted like 1.5 billion asians who've been wearing masks for years? I'd call it humanizing. I care for others so I put on the mask.

Not to defend the op. I wear a mask. But, people do make this choice all the time. They take a car instead of walk (AFAIK that means they're more likely to die). They don't wear a …

I am curious how much regulation plays a part. I had a friend in Belgium running a 2 person indie game dev company. They needed to hire an artist and mentioned all the regulations …

it's pretty clear in Japanese if hard to translate. I means "this is all the coffee we will be providing. when it's gone there will be no more" (as in don't ask for more coffee. We…

Not to squash your enthusiams but this has been done many times in the past and it's just never worked out. I think one reason is, except for a few programmers, the average user ju…

No, because the charms come from the culture and the culture will never be replicated elsewhere. Things like, almost no one steals, people return dropped wallets, people don't dest…

just to set expectations. it's small museum. just 2 rooms. it is amazing and you probably will not be comfortable eating sushi, sashimi, basashi for a fews days after :p

why? you chose to take the job far from your house. if companies are forced to pay for the time commuting people will choose to live 20 hours away

This sounds pretty whiny given there are plenty of apartments much smaller that people live in just fine in places like Japan, Hong Kong and I'm sure more. Here's 12000 apartments …

It's not just netflix. I hate the my Google TV pops up with ads for media. My PS5 boots straight into the store. At least my Apple Tv mostly doesn't shove ads in my face though my …

I hate them. It's 100x easier to browse a paper menu than the scroll through 2-5 dishes per screen, and often have to navigate sub menus trying to find what's available. I didn't c…

Imagine the environmental impact 31250 phones a hour must cause. All the material that went into them had to be mined, transported, smelted, carried to a factory, assembled, then s…

If you pull it out in the theater during the movie I hope you'll be ejected from the theater. Phones should be OFF in theaters during the movie!

Not my experience at all. It doesn't matter how well written a spec is. No tests = no conformance. End of story. Most people can't hold an entire spec in their head or think throug…
