Actually, there is. It is called language acquisition. It's not a tool, but a method. Trivially simple method, just require some basic material at the very beginning, say, first 3 months plus SRS like Anki. And a most importantly a wil

You should consider moving to Japan then. Theater stays dark until the last line of credits passes. Actually this is nice thing. You can still listen to the music, pay silent respects to the horde of people involved or just contemplate the

I found out that usually happens when you have some constraints. The more constraints the more clever ways people find to achieve their goal.

Unfortunately, it doesn't always work like that in the wild. In some countries people will choose to butcher your original name for the sake of politeness, even if there is ideal translation in their langiage. At least this is what&#x2

There is next iteration of 3DS rolling out right now. Many countries adopted it already. It's designed, among other things, to minimize the friction for the buyers.

I see a lot of HN users living in HN bubble completely forgetting that we are a minority of consumers. Most of Reddit audience is either not educated enough, don't have enough exposure to see the difference or simply don't care. D

I see you have your reasons so I am not going to try to sway your opinion. But other languages I have experience with, recently, are Go and Rust and there is no better platform to code like the JetBrains IDEs. I've tried VSCode myself

I'm not saying that katsu kare is not existent in Japan, but in the UK it is basically the only kare you can get. On the contrary in Tokyo you have it among ten other options and it is definitely not the most popular one. I can say onl

Not sure about Chinese, but Japanese food in UK is mostly not edible, by my standards at least. Being fusion is a huge disadvantage for me. I go to Japanese restaurant when I want to taste original Japanese cuisine not some generic Asian mi

The thing is that you have to kill to eat. Doesn't really matter what do you eat - something has to die for you to live. When you realize that, it's much easier to treat not only cows but everything around you with respect. We&#x2

You do but it requires minimum effort from your side. Have to be friendly and speak Japanese, even if just a bit.

It looks to me like listening practice, really. This is something that people usualy do when they want to learn a new language - we are learning languages not by sitting in class but through immersion. I'm wondering how the results wou

I don't want to discourage the author but, to be honest, what I see is nowhere close to what I figure would help me to learn Japanese. Questions I see on home page have nothing to do with learning - some about traveling around the coun

Unfortunately being senior is not a good indicator of someone's ability to design and write good code. Yes, it should be. No, it not always is, as my experience shows. Now, if you are senior yourself, probably, you can see that. But wh

And the best is that Western people would laugh out loud at them for wearing masks any other day. But, irony, that was one of the biggest factor in this case. Considering that they have an elderly society I'd say they did an outstandin

You've made a cardinal mistake of not sharing the minutes right after the meeting or, even better, as a last point of the meeting itself. Would that happen, you could reply: "Well, this is what you saw and accepted before."

Must be a matter of preference but this is exactly what I hate about godoc. I'd love to use markdown or any other structure, really. Just a wall of plain text is sometimes good, but most of the time bad idea for readability. And the id

Personnel may be partially unavailable, but - home or office - developers are doing the same job as they always did. At least from the users point of view it didn't change that much.
