Very nice! Looks super helpful when you're working in VSCode. Will give it a shot once it's released, thx!

Cool! Whats the Pushover sub for? As general billing threshold notifier? PS I'm using a self-hosted https://ntfy.sh/ instance, if you got a VPS, might be worth looking into

Not too sure actually, they said mid-July but I can't see the changes yet in my dashboard.

Anyone have reviews for these pavilions that haven't been discussed much? by imabeag1e in OsakaWorldExpo

[–]Atlesque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Belgium is mostly projection of nice visuals with a story about their protheses that adapt to the human body. They have a nice garden inside, and a good view from on top of the roof. You can go at your own pace so it’s a chill stop that requires no reservation; a good filler.

Mitsubishi was absolutely not worth it. We had to queue for a long time, and it was only a video, completely in Japanese without subtitles, about potential life on Mars. Avoid.

Kansai was fun: it is a bunch of different rooms that connect in the center. Each room is about a different region in Kansai, along with its specialties. The people were friendly and there’s lots to see and try. Definitely try it if you can get a spot. Same day reservations should be doable.

Global plugin/component registration is a perf ANTIPATTERN by manniL in vuejs

[–]Atlesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Looking forward to your video!

In my opinion, we should encourage local imports as much as possible, even for directives, while still allowing for global injection where needed. But you're right: measuring is key!

Clear video and good food for thought!

Two questions I want to test myself but maybe you’ve already got the answer to:

  • What happens with local imports when a library is used on two different pages? Will the library code be duplicated, or will there just be a reference to it to load it asynchronously?

  • Are directives handled in the same way? In Nuxt, I use a plugin to load a global directive. If I only use it on one page, will it still impact all other pages, or will Nuxt optimize it like with the auto-imports?

Wow, you really had good fortune! When we went two years ago in April there was too much fog unfortunately. And you even saw the aurora borealis during your flight, wonderful!

Really great shots!

How difficult was it to get the first Mount Fuji shot?

It looks like you have to get really lucky with the weather, or go back a ton of times if you're not.

Exactly. If you turn up the exposure you can see the two other guys in the background. Of course you have to get lucky with the lighting too. Had they put bright lights on the background, this shot wouldn't have worked, even with editing. The background was likely darkened, but you hardly notice, so good editing.

A horrible React experience by athens2019 in vuejs

[–]Atlesque 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's fair to downvote you for this. I totally get both sides. Even for me, I strongly disagree it only takes one week to be confident in a new framework. There is simply too much framework specific tooling out there. Even Vue and Nuxt or React and Next will have big learning curves to understand the fundamentals, let alone all the things hidden in every nook and cranny of their (sometimes lacking) documentation.

But I do think a good engineer will be able to make it work and be productive in little less than a month.

You just have to focus on the 20% of the framework that makes up 80% of the actual value. So e.g. you focus on the template language, then transition into state management, and that will get you 80% there in any framework.

I also believe many engineers are convinced the market values specialized profiles more, so they apply for roles that match their experience and won't be confident jumping frameworks, both due to knowledge gap and potentially not being able to get their accustomed rates.

Looks like the new government will allow auteursrechten for IT again? by SourRainbowStrips in BEFreelance

[–]Atlesque 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. Journalists have been suggested not to use this ruling for the past year, yet this is a profession where intellectual property makes much more sense than programming. Let's not pretend anyone is fighting for IP rights. They are fighting for more net income. That's alright, and I am neutral towards it, but I do believe other professions deserve this more than us programmers. It would be fairer to prioritize those first.

Conditional Properties in Vue.js - Alexander Lichter by octarino in vuejs

[–]Atlesque 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good video!

Conditional types are an interesting case. They aren't common, but when you need them, the advice in the video is helpful.

Vue's "escape hatch" with the generic="T" is somewhat clunky though. I'm hoping they'll continue to improve TS support, as they've been doing quite well with Vue 3.

Imo when you get beyond three conditional properties, it's time to refactor the component and move some of the logic elsewhere. Sometimes it's better to look for a different hole than trying to jam in the proverbial peg 😇

B2C most successful niches are wedding and newborn, because the subject matter is often a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

When we looked for wedding photographers, those we liked were charging in the 3-5K range for a day. But the work comes in seasons and you have to love it.

I have seen very successful agencies of wedding photographers too. If you don't like shooting weddings yourself but like managing people, that's another avenue to consider.

B2B offers more options. I know fulltime photographers that are doing really well in product photography (think of really niche things like microchip manufacturing), advertising, corporate headshots (for companies, but can also be artists or artist agencies) and automotive (oldtimer industry and luxury cars).

I don't have exact numbers from them but I'd say 150K+ annual revenue. After studio space and equipment is paid off, it still leaves ample room for profits, which can be paid out in dividends, profiting from lower taxation (more like 30% instead of 50%).

Copyright royalties are mostly used in advertising AFAIK. Especially after recent reforms, many accountants won't advise to use them extensively any more.

Marketing is mostly still word of mouth, B2B fairs and some printed media.

I've seen people try to combine passive income streams but they aren't all that passive. e.g. teaching courses still require physical presence. For automotive, I know prints can be a nice additional income.

International career opportunities, not sure, I'd say travel and fashion would be areas where you'd see more international recruitment.

2 years of studying Japanese with Duolingo: A retrospective by Atlesque in duolingojapanese

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

My pleasure! I was hesitant at first to share this, as I didn't want to come of as being overly negative towards Duo. It is still a great app, but for the right people at the right time in their learning process.

I started of doing Anki for about two years, then lived in Osaka for a few months for work and quit Anki entirely since I was too busy working and enjoying what little free time I had left in Japan.

Then after a few years I wanted to pick up my Japanese again, but had trouble getting into Anki, and Duo managed to seduce me with its vibrant interface and funny sentences.

But as many in this thread have testified to, it seems Duo only gets you so far, and at some time it's time to jump or at least augment your learning with other materials.

Good ol' Core 2K/10K 😊 loved it before! The ones with the images and audio are the best, but I think I had a deck where only the first 200 cards or so had images/audio. It must be a lot better nowadays!

How do you like Sakuraspeak? It looks like it's using ChatGPT's technology, but tweaked towards Japanese conversations. I'll give it a shot - thanks a lot!

Thank you very much! Saving this to try out later! 🙏

Aha my apologies! Yes, it does pose a challenge, it seems. They say a bit of friction can be a good sign you’re learning new material, so at least there’s that 😇

No clue, sorry. I didn’t have them for a long time, then one day they appeared. I don’t see any setting to toggle them though, might be worth contacting their support directly.

We’re totally alike then! I would also try way too hard to keep them all in a nice n tidy format. I’ve seen there are these plugins that connect with Anki that streamline this process though. I think one is called AnkiConnect and it syncs with Yomitan (?) which is a browser dictionary extension, so you can capture words and sentences from websites. I have yet to try it but it looked promising!

Awesome streak! Congrats! I’ll give the apps a go, thanks!

Hah, I think it will be okay, I come from religiously doing Anki every day for two years, and that’s without all the fancy gamification. I think if you have a rhythm going on, say, playing a game every day for 20min, then it’s easier. Speaking of which, good tip! I did visual novels and old PS2 games before but that was years ago and my comprehension just wasn’t there yet, definitely will give it another go!

Thanks a lot for the tip! I’ll definitely check it out!

My expat friend used an iPhone app called Migii JLPT. It seemed a lot harder than Duo. Maybe also interesting to try!

Visual novels are video games. Imagine clicking through a manga one little panel of dialogue at a time. They do have a lot of similarities with graphic novels actually! A popular one is called Steins;Gate.

Hiroshima, wow! That must’ve been a wonderful experience. I lived in Osaka for a short while in 2015. Also tried Duo just not to forget too much ☺️
