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 disappears. https://css-tricks.com/

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 systems but how many of them are competing outside Jap

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 they miss technological revolution after revolution — mic

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 cancelled. not looking forward to it.

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 culturally insensitive given that plenty of languages (Japa

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 might sell a drink for 100-150 yen. The same drink

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 generally only see them indoors.

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 from a vending machine.

> 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.

by asiachick 4y ago
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 helmet when walking ( https://www.who.in

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 in place making is very hard to actually hire. Basically, it

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 made one pot and that's it)

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 just doesn't want smart sketching. Sketching is simp

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 destroy vending machines (vandalism is low), people try not

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 the same size or smaller within a 40 minute commut

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 sent to 1000s of locations by 1000s of vehicles. Of course it

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 through all the ramifications of the edge cases. Even t

crapping on tables was arguably correct. flexbox and grid allow for responsive designs (work on phone and desktop). Table based layouts do not.

A society doesn't have to trust minorities to be a high trust society. Japan and Korean are arguably high trust societies but they clearly have lots issues with racism to "outsiders". That is not an excuse for racism. It&#x27
