The product is old school PHP. They want to convert it to Go but none of the young engineers are interested in touching the codebase. My friend is the reverse instead, uninterested in learning new languages/technologies. So neither of

I moved from Singapore to Japan in expectation of a better, free-er life and those expectations have been met. I have a house on fairly large piece of property that belongs to me. I have two cars that I often go for long drives on. Things t

20 years ago Singapore was handing out PRs and citizenships to Chinese students like candy. All of my classmates got PR a few years out of school, then citizenship again 2 years later. And so many of them immediately moved on to the US.

It was always ridiculously easy to get Japanese citizenship. 5 years of residency, don’t break any laws including traffic, pay your bills on time. Done. It has recently been changed so that you now require 10 years of residency. https:&#x2

I think I understand what the OP is feeling. It’s not that RF is actually a difficult subject, but that it is hard to find the motivation to learn it something new. At least, that’s the feeling I’ve gotten about a lot of things I wanted to

Small, mountainous, resource-poor island at the far end of the world meant few were interested in conquering it. That meant Japan had the luxury of maintaining their culture unhindered for a very long period of time. The Japanese royal fami

Property taxes on land zoned for residential use are 6x more expensive if left bare. That’s why Japan has an akiya plague, because even a dilapidated building will keep taxes down. I couldn’t find a more general article so here’s an example

A problem with privatising the railways is that unprofitable routes, ie rural villages, are deprioritised or simply shut down. My village gets 1 train every 1.5 hours, and none between 3pm and 7pm. For several years now, there has been disc

The web client has a select all option, and when one or more emails is selected, two buttons pop up. Delete forever, mark as not spam. I check my spam folder regularly and it has been this way for as far as I can remember.
