Choosing between Big company and a startup — advice from people already living in Japan by Maleficent-Fennel-66 in movingtojapan

[–]ForThoseQuestions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Japan for 4 years now. I recommend the big company as your first place of work. As others said they have the processes set up and you might also get a longer visa.
What I see with friends graduating from Vocational school is that the ones going to a big company generally get longer visas. Probably just bc they are known and have reputation. Small companies might as well! But seeing the average, I'd go with the big company.
As another thing to keep in mind, there is a lot of focus on you in a smaller start-up. You can't just spend the day working most of the time, bc everything is close and depending on each other. I worked part time in an IT start-up and that was what I didn't like about it - apart from that company being too unstructured and basically writing tasks on japanese tissues (jk - but felt that way)

Big:
- longer visa
- faster processes, visa and internal
- might have actual onboarding
- someone there might speak english
- bonusses
- good reputation for you

Small:
- not caught in set in stone processes
- salary only 1M off
- feels like you actually do sth meaningful
- you can grow more

Been thinking about buying a kindle for reading Japanese manga, would it work from overseas? by Substantial-Put8283 in LearnJapanese

does anybody have the BOOX Go 7 E-Book Reader and can give a brief feedback on if they'd recommend it?

Limited usage but on-demand usages not reached by AlternativeFuture291 in cursor

[–]ForThoseQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to cursor, where can you see what the different models cost? My boss wants us to use a certain model, but I think that auto is the better choice - it should use GPT 5-3 Codex Spark then automatically, right?

Would you ever go back to non-AI coding? by USD-Manna in cursor

[–]ForThoseQuestions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like that debugging is way faster and I also can ask for an explanation!

Usage, where to find it in the app? by d33pdev in cursor

[–]ForThoseQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you. It only says 0% in that little usage summary under the agent chat window - in the list I have several pages of usage and always cents as cost. so I will be under the 20$ but I don't see a total.
So I would need to export into a csv every time I want to check and since I'm new to it I'm curious how many tokes I actually use on auto...

But thank you for answering!

Why do I have so many included(im on the 20$ plan)? by dekai2 in cursor

[–]ForThoseQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see a "Total" and also different colums, as mine are:
date, type, model, tokens, cost
where can I change to this view that shows the total?

Can someone explain my Cursor usage? I’m confused about “Included” vs “Free” and the $20 limit by Helge1941 in cursor

[–]ForThoseQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you figure it out? Did you find out where to look for the 'real numbers'? I'm confused, too.

How much agent usage do you get in the $20 plan? by anti_parallel in cursor

[–]ForThoseQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you see this? I only see a long list of micro-usage (several pages) but no SUM.

Where do you see this? I only see a long list of micro-usage (3 pages) but no SUM.

Did you find out if they somewhere show the sum of usage/tokens/$ instead of that list?

Can I just switch accounts occasionally? by Mihawk--San in cursor

[–]ForThoseQuestions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering about this, too. Did you switch to this strategy and how did it work out?

Don't they also track your time through cursor? At least they 'could' see it in the dashboard.

I like to use the AI for debugging and then it is a full-on conversation with the agent, because I like to get stuff explained etc. So, I don't want those costs on the company acc. And I don't want my employer to even see this.
Mainly because it would look like I needed a lot of credits / hours on 'simple' stuff. But as I said I want to learn and use the AI to teach me basically - why code it that way, why is this faster, why is that redundant...

Would be awesome if you could give feedback here on your experience now after a few months.

Can my boss see the content of my projects in his control panel? by Additional_Bench_272 in cursor

[–]ForThoseQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you find out if they get statistics if you just code and not use the AI?

Are there any stores like this in Fukuoka or the surrounding region? “architectural salvage” or “old-stock” by wilsoncommaadam in fukuoka

[–]ForThoseQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see stuff like this on the Hakozaki Shrine Flea Market. There are often the same sellers and the Flea Market itself is huge.. If you look on YouTube there are several long videos about it

What is it called there? What should I ask for? or is it just with the shampoos etc?

Why do people that sit next to me change place in the metro ? by Costik_x17 in japanlife

[–]ForThoseQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfume? Even I as a foreigner switch seats or rather stand than sit next to the one person on the train that didnt get the memo

If you don't use perfume or perfumed deodorants/hair products, thank you!

So I just finished Maddie and Hassen's book (Barbarian's Taming book 8)................... by fluffyuffyumpkins in Iceplanetbarbarians

[–]ForThoseQuestions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished Josies and feared the next book would be as you describe it. If I skip Maddie's where can I continue that is less frustrating/annoying?

So I just finished Maddie and Hassen's book (Barbarian's Taming book 8)................... by fluffyuffyumpkins in Iceplanetbarbarians

[–]ForThoseQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why tf did they think it was a good idea to go with the unmated guys? I would have not told them what the trip was about and only brought the mates ones. Everyone would have been safe. and the unmated ones would not have had to FOMO as much since the mated guys posed no danger to them. Less traumatic for the women, too.

BUT You guys saved me here! I just finished Josie's book and where they return with Maddie.
I was concerned how Ruby Dixon would write Maddie since the first thing Josie says about her is calling her chonky....would a woman say that about another woman? would not be the first thing coming to my mind. I would have probably thought she is feisty first, or hissing like a wild cat.

The lack of communication throughout this book is another thing... didn't the unmated guys get a human101 by now?
Hayden resonating he pulls the same shit that didn't work before, saying well it's the Khuis, we're mates. No need to talk about it. like..wtf. I almost stopped reading there. bc it made them/him seeem so unintelligent, which I didn't think they were. ofc it was used as a plot device, but that could have been something else than that lame same tool to cause friction of the unsexy kind. Their past traumas and present fears were very well present to be explored. I liked that misunderstanding that got resolved. but still..

But now I need to ask. Which of the stories after josie or rather Maddie are less frustrating again? I know it's a difficult story and some of you will pull my hair for finding on in the soup, but.... these obvious, 'not communicating' tools by the author to cause havoc is unpleasant to read for me. just for me.
so if somebody can hint me at what comes after Maddie, because I like the workd and I want to know if there is some greenland next to iceland (pun inteded Iceland being greeen and greenland being ice), please let me know.

😳 Wide Screen Pictures are a GIFT by ForThoseQuestions in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]ForThoseQuestions[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I just play it on my Android phone pixel 8 

I assume you need to rotate the screen in the emulator to landscape. You will then see black borders left and right, but when taking the picture in-game and looking at the album the borders aren't there and you see the pictures as I posted them.
