I inherited an old Japanese codebase. Tons of stuff was just single-letter variables. Apparently, this used to be at least somewhat common here. I spent a lot of time just updating code to replace vars with something meaningful (and found bonus bugs due to improper scoping with same var names as a bonus). Didn’t have an IDE that would easily do it for me at the time and running something like sed felt too risky.

I split the middle with en-JIN-iks (which is how I heard it said long before I saw it written)

Is it called the Jetta there? I know some cars have regional model names.

I’m referencing this, but I’m not actually sure: https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.14/handbook-1401.html

I can’t read plain-text, uncoloured HTML

That’s all we had back in the day. The only difference that jumps out to me is having attributes, but that’s still not that crazy. Even back when I did web stuff, I used notepad++ without any particular higlighting the vast majority of the time for plain HTML (though not JS).

As the user posted, one human can have more than one SSN in their lifetime. Many humans will never have an SSN. Some of those humans may have a TIN. Some humans may have at least one TIN and one SSN at some point.

I think it’s meant to be a “Cleopatra is closer to us than the building of the great pyramid” or something like that, but I’m not sure either.

How old are you? That’s not even close to true.

Shitty japanese government and some private apps only work on windows (some to a limited degree on smartphones and Mac). Sure, I could (at least theoretically) run a windows vm for that as someone helpfully mentioned before, but that kinda defeats the purpose (and isn’t really great for less technical folks).

I imagine some other gov/biz apps also have the same issue.

I speak English and japanese on a daily basis and don’t think I could ever confuse the two. The grammar and phonology are extremely different.

Even with German and french thrown in (neither of which I remember well enough to do more than travel with), I don’t see this problem. Maybe closely-related language in the same family (I’ve. Italian and Spanish in the romance family)?

• grandpa always muted commercials. Searching for old ones on YouTube, though, can be (a) a great nostalgia hit and (b) great language practice or culture study when looking at those of other countries

ough has something like 8 different pronunciations in English. Good luck!~

We could have if things were a little different. I’m not sure about Old Norse nor Old English, but Modern German does change Haus to Häuser (that äu is pronounced kinda like ‘oi’) and presumably it was quite similar in (at least some varieties of) Old English.

Thou doughnut. Thou Ohio toilet. A pox upon thy rizz. May thine aura either.

Do you know the names and history of your great great grandparents?

On my dad’s side, actually yes. They died either side of 100 when I was in my early 20s. I’m old enough to remember spending time with them and hearing about their lives. I didn’t meet the other sides, but my maternal grandfather compiled a book about his line which was quite interesting (and this was when one still had to go to the library and search through newspapers, etc. or have them call other libraries to get info).

My branch of the family tree dies with me. My family name is probably in the rarest few percent (I tried checking previously and got some fraction of a percent, but I don’t know how accurate that site was). Technically, though, as several of us uploaded DNA to various sites, it’s not completely lost in that sense. However, I just don’t care, really; I think it’s weirdly self-important to be concerned with a name or bloodline carrying on like humanity won’t survive without it somehow.

You clearly missed the point above where I wrote “ending up needing to cut gluten” which kinda precludes eating most of the things on that list.

These days, except for once a week, I am eating: oatmeal, brown rice (regionally-sourced), some meat (chicken, fish, or pork in order of frequency) I’ve cooked, some veg (much of which I grow myself) I’ve cooked, and some sauce I’ve (at least mostly – I’m not brewing my own soy sauce) made, and often a bit of cheese. Dessert, when I have it, is a handful of chocolate chips. I am still almost always hungry. Once a week, I eat sushi or something similar and have an ice cream.

Edit: I also feel compelled to note I would only let myself eat like that (the Pizza, burgers, etc.) once every week or two, lest someone think that was my daily life.

My hunger response is all messed up; exceedingly slow to satiation, hungry almost immediately after. I’m basically always hungry even sometimes getting hunger pangs that are physically painful and come with nausea; not eating for even around like 12-16 hours would sometimes cause me to gag and to feel like I needed to throw up. Changing some dietary things has helped, but I’m still almost always hungry and never stay full long.

Even as little as a year ago, I could put away a large pizza, some ice cream, a meal from McD’s, and more in one day and still be hungry. I probably still could if not for ending up needing to cut gluten (one of the things that seems to have helped). By BMI I’m right on the border between overweight and obese and dropping (I will probably be just ‘overweight’ in mid-Feb 2025 or so).

I begrudgingly switched to vscode a few years ago. I’ve never had any issues like this with it. My only issues have been with a plugin that I installed optionally (and that was later fixed by the plugin author).

Japan is monthly for at least salaried jobs and most pay on the 25th (or prior business day if weekend or holiday). I think once-monthly is the legal minimum, but some jobs will pay cash same day.
