I think it would help to be able to move up and down (ex. space and shift keys) without changing the camera angle. This seems a better solution, to me, than existing pan with 3rd mouse button.

I'll never understand this "aesthetic" argument. Are those cities really so pretty to avoid using something that naturally comes to mind? Sun, warm, makes things dry, just use it.

I couldn't agree more. After reading article I'm kind of confused about the praise. First of all, vast majority of population just dry their clothes outside. I'd say, while this is installed in many bathrooms - it's used

A 3 to 5 seems pretty inconclusive. If it's 3 the case seems obvious. But assuming it's 5, what would the genders be?

One does not exclude the other, right? I'd say you could split it into functional design and visual design. Both are design. Both are important.

Not sure I agree with that. It's not difficult to notice one has "nai", other don't. Also when you read it in actual sentence you can immediately notice that something is wrong when you choose the wrong reading. Subseque

Isn't it common in English, too? Just to mention "vague", "awe", "sigh". There are many others. I see those words and pronunciation is far from obvious to me.

I think taking sides in this debate is pointless. Languages are always as difficult as far they are from your mother tongue or other languages you know. Your question about the reading, though, has quite a simple answer. It's pretty ob

You still need to skim the page. The same way you can skim video to find the place you remember. I don't see a lot of difference here.

They aren't from my experience working in two major Japanese companies. Sometimes they'll pay your network bill if WFH is allowed, but that's basically it. Not sure about smaller companies, but honestly, I'd be surprised
