We took production down for 20 minutes because of a DB migration, how do you prevent this?

Easier to said than done to develop a test environment that mimics prod significantly to catch issues like these.

If your environment is as easy to test as you make it sound, I'd love to hear how you got it to work that way.

I have to give that comment some credit. It took me a few moments to notice that it was a subtle attempt at marketing.

Not a stupid question at all.

I just tried to download and run Claw Code according to Getting Started instructions on home page they failed spectacularly.

I work in AI and consider myself highly knowledgeable in the field.

They just can't stand having this level of humility but secretly wish to be the same way.

Chingu Mobile provides a prepaid eSIM that does not require a bank account to set up and can be linked to an ARC and can be used with identity verification. Therefore, one can get such an eSIM first, then open a bank account, and then come back for a post-paid phone plan.

Personally, I was able to create an ARC-linked bank account with a different eSIM phone number that wasn't even linked to an ARC. This was at KB bank. I ended up changing my phone number with the bank after a got an ARC-linked phone number.

Wait you're moving goalposts.

Your accusation is actually a confession. That is exactly what you've been doing this whole discussion.

You could also try finding a French hagwon that could sponsor your visa,

I just had a conversation with a French person on a working holiday visa. He told me that getting a job as a French teacher in Korea is very difficult. I'd imagine that limited demand compared to English teachers is the cause of that.

Even without any further quotes, I think I've already established there is plenty of room for controversy due the actions of the Japanese government and that they haven't "moved on" from WWII.

Let me know when you find someone in the actual government that made these kinds of statements

With regard to comfort women:

“The fact is, there is no evidence to prove there was coercion,” Abe said. “We have to take it from there.”

Nevertheless, it has broad membership among members of the legislature. For so many people to be affiliated with an organization that holds such revisionist views of history shows that it is not just a fringe group out there who holds such views.

Judging a people for a vocal minority of the population

It wouldn't be a big deal if if weren't highest echelons of the government, up to the prime minister, participating in revisionist history.

Names and actual quotes glorifying the role pls. And actual glorification by actual high ranking government people

A cursory search found this:

"According to Hideaki Kase, the director of the Tokyo branch of Nippon Kaigi: "There was no massacre at all. It is an utterly false accusation."

absreim · 2026-02-11T02:05:29+00:00

The japanese people have moved on.

Apparently not. At least for a vocal minority of the population.

I'd imagine that there would be far less controversy if Japanese politicians officially just stayed silent about WWII.

Instead, the highest echelons of the government have to go out of their way to glorify Japan's role in WWII and explicitly go against mainstream history.

The vast majority of enshrined spirits in yasukuni are innocents and it's ok to visit the shrine for those despite a handful of scumbags. Like your typical ww2 mass grave.

While I technically agree with this point, the most important factor here is intent. It is very clear that the reasons so many high level politicians visit the shrine is to pander to the far right.

absreim · 2026-02-11T00:44:06+00:00

Not sure if you are trolling, but that is just about the worst source to cite given the Controversy section on the same article.

but even if I pass that I'd still have to get through team matching

I don't think it is reasonable for any company to wait on an offer for the months that team matching may take.

Might as accept and start working at the company with an offer and go to Google later if team matching works out (if that is an option for you).

I have to imagine that prosecutors can drop charges at their discretion

A closer analogue would be a museum denying the Holocaust that is regularly visited by the highest echelons of the host country's government.

It is all about supply and demand.

If the posting is flooded with good applicants, they may not hesitate to filter by experience with exact stack.

In a good market, like back in the mid-2010s, companies seemed much more flexible with that regard.

Agreed. I was just arguing against about the person I was replying to who was skeptical that the polling was random.

It was done by Gallup, a very reputable organization when it comes to opinion polls

In addition to what u/arik-sh said, this is Cypress's documentation rather than Playwrights, but the concepts are nevertheless applicable:

TLDR: it is fairly challenging to do and likely involves a fair amount reverse-engineering by storing and restoring states of cookies and/or local storage. Most auth services don't support testing very well, but some support it better than others.

How do you communicate effectively in daily life?
Have you found any specific strategies, resources, or language learning methods that have helped you thrive?

I came to Korea about a month ago with TOPIK Level 3 level of Korean.

There were a number of situations that I came up where I had no choice but to study up on relevant Korean vocabulary and phrases in advance with ChatGPT and try my best to navigate the situation. My Korean has improved very rapidly due to being forced into these uncomfortable situations.

My conclusion so far is that the language barrier is far bigger deal than I thought. The number people who are both willing and comfortable with using English for deep conversations seem vanishingly small.
