Reddit - Beehaw until I decided I didn't like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn't like are better now) - kbin.social (died) - kbin.run (died) - fedia.

Japan-based backend software dev and small-scale farmer.

  • Started on beehaw but hated Lemmy of the time. Went with a kbin instance. First one died. Second died. I liked mbin so I picked one more and so far it is yet to burn down, fall over, and then sink into a swamp.

    If this one ever goes away, I might try pixelfed or whatever it's called

  • Such hits as 'a', 'b', 'x', and 'y'. I know the version of the language we were using didn't have native utf-8 support, so I don't think kanji varnames were possible. It even made comments in kana and kanji really wonky (I think the comments were shiftjis)

  • You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?

    I worked at a japanese company whose engineers we're former NTT developers. Copypasta (i.e. not using functions), inefficient algos, single-letter var names, remote code execution from code as root, etc. good times!

  • Dear democratic party: as a voter in a state that went from purple to more red, I was still voting for you in every election and outside of the blue cities. Was. I would rather vote for a pile of dogshit than your party again.

  • Yeah, it was not fun. I'm about an hour from Sendai and we had some long ones. Not the most violent, though.

  • Maybe hematite? I seem to remember saying that about hematite when I was young and the whole neopagan and new age stuff had a moment.

  • What kind of situation would you have to be in to think, "I really wish there was an American here right now."

  • This question has me bside myself. I haven't lived there in more than a decade, though, so not sure if I count anymore. I was trying a joke and realized that I am, at least technically, American and had to stop, heh.

  • I always thought people talking about seeing things that weren't there was metaphore. It blew my mind to find out it was literal.

  • What are you confident you could win an argument about?

    Jump

  • Nothing. These days? Not because I don't know things, but because a lot of people refuse to accept new information, even when it comes from reputable peer-reviewed sources and there's not much arguing with that.

  • Retired WoW players, how does that part of your life shade your current life?

  • I don't think it does, or at least not much. I quit before BC, the started working in the games industry years later and had to pick it back up. Quit before the panda thing (I forget precisely when).

    I have good memories of playing it with coworkers and friends. I don't think about it these days at all (and fuck blizzard, honestly).

    That job had me play lots of MMOs (I worked at one of the community/fan/tools sites (we did not allow account/gold sales, botting discussion/links. Etc)) and eventually I burnt out on them pretty hard. Single player RPGs are more my jam these days

    I have a theory about AI and I'm wondering if I'm wrong?

  • You can strip AI out of this post and nothing changes. Granting various things access to your various systems/works has and will do things like this.

  • Your statements do not support your initial arguments.

    You've conveniently just ignored everything I responded to about grandparents and women being forced out of their careers as a rule.

    Further, you state It's a culture of hating kids. and that is just not true.

    You are seeing some shitty people and extrapolating that out to "this society hates kids" which is 100% not the case. That is what I take issue with.

    I could go on at length about things Japan could do better for families and, in my decade here, there has been great improvement. There is still room to go. That does not mean that Japanese people hate children and do not want them. It does not mean that this is a Japan-only problem yet your argument is that Japan hates kids.

    As a long term resident, perhaps the problem isn't that there isn't these problems. It's that you don't see it.

    So you want to tourist-splain to me as someone who lives here and has for a decade? I have family, friends, and coworkers with young kids. I do hear their complaints. I do see their struggles. Again, what you are describing, that Japan has some systemic and cultural child-hating complex, is not at all supported by your argument. It is also laughable to me that you would think you have a better handle on Japan as a whole as a tourist who goes to a few cities. You want to know what you're also not seeing? You're not seeing the programs in place. You're not seeing the variety of things that have been and are being done. You're literally just making stuff up and saying that all of Japan (the grandparents, for example) is some way.
