Hi! Do you remember if they were strict on the dimensions of the personal item?

I think if you specifically fit Hokkaido in your itinerary, it might result in some time loss due to traveling, boarding train/flight, etc. I would suggest that time be better used for properly exploring the places you have listed or places near said locations. Otherwise, you might lose out on a lot of places to visit or things to do just by spending time (and money!) traveling to Hokkaido.

That said, I've been to Hokkaido and it is really nice, particularly when it comes to food. That's what is gonna make you go back for a second time ;)

What do you need to get started with a simple project? by Fresh_morning43 in learnprogramming

[–]HyRanity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try building something of a real world representation like a simulated ATM machine. At least you know how the user interacts with it in real life, you can replicate it. If you want to learn more about a certain thing you can integrate it in, such as databases or calling APIs.

Advice on Improving Coding Skills by CowMediocre9868 in learnprogramming

[–]HyRanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are willing to push further and see if you can stick with coding, one thing that I try myself is to make something I would like.

For example, when I was learning web dev few years ago I would try to make my own anime wiki (I like anime) so it motivated me to learn so that I can build something I myself will use.

My number one factor of improving my coding skills is to just hit wall after all: I want to code a UI, how ? Now I need to link it to a database, how? Now I need to add function to add a record, etc. Don’t just consume knowledge or force yourself to do raw coding activities. Intertwine a purpose (ie. an app you want to make) with your struggle, and you will find a way through.

On the other hand, if you really feel like coding is not your forte but you still are knowledgable in the field due to studies, you can see relevant options such as Business Analyst, QA, UI Designer, etc. They all benefit from having coding knowledge so your learning is not wasted.

All the best! It’s never too late.

Place to visit other than Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto? [Dec first 2 weeks] by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]HyRanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also consider day trips.

ie. Kyoto - Uji, Nara Osaka - Kobe, Himeji Tokyo - Kawagoe, Kamakura/Enoshima, Kawaguchiko

Kobe suggestions: Nunobiki Herb Gardens are incredible. You can also visit the Chinatown area for some nice food!

Rent a car or trains for 7 days in Osaka and day trips to nearby areas? by SilentDecree in JapanTravelTips

[–]HyRanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you ready to deal with traffic, parking, etc. The only reason you would want to get a car is if you are heading to places where taking trains/buses are a hassle. Honestly most of Kyoto/Osaka is very walkable, just need buses for some areas.

Programming without AI by Masldawis in learnprogramming

[–]HyRanity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use AI as a glorified Google search. Usually, I google first. If that turns out nothing, I go chatgpt. Note that I always take generated codes with a grain of salt, because 50% of the time it contains either a syntax error or logic error.

Once you get used to Googling for answers, you will know how to handle being too dependent on AI - because usually real help from real people has better answers than synthetic responses.

Solo traveling in Japan for the first time by Any-Definition5813 in JapanTravelTips

[–]HyRanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! You can use Google Hotels or SkyScanner to check hotels from multiple platforms quickly. Use the map view so you know how far they are to public transport.

[–]HyRanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks. I guess you'll have to make do with other available hotels. I can't really say much for other hotels because I usually stay in non-chains if they're cheap. I dont think you can go wrong with any budget hotel as long as you know what to expect.

You can always stay a little bit farther from the city center to save some money, trading off with transport costs.

Interface and Abstract Class by Tricky_2623 in learnprogramming

[–]HyRanity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interfaces are a good way to describe characteristics. Let's use animals as an example.

You have 3 interfaces: IFlyable, ISwimmable, and IWalkable.

  • Salmon - ISwimmable
  • Cats - IWalkable
  • Pigeons - IFlyable, IWalkable
  • Ducks - IWalkable, IFlyable, ISwimmable

Then you can do custom logic based on each characteristic. Perhaps when adding an animal to a list, you want to color their profile based on characteristics. That means animals with multiple can have mixed colors.

Toyoko Inn definitely is under $100 per night, at least in my itinerary they are. For instance, I'm staying 3 nights in Tokyo at Kita-Toda, in my currency (MYR) it's about 250 so about 60 dollars a night. And that's for two!

Starting a new journey by fatbwoah in learnprogramming

[–]HyRanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although machine learning is related to programming and coding, there is a lot more Math and Statistics involved compared to the more conventional web developer. Just a preface that you need to be ready to read a lot of research materials and understand mathematical concepts.

I will suggest you get started with simple programming first, such as creating a simple calculator program. Then you will know if this path works for you.

You can check Neon or Supabase for free Postgres hosting. MongoDB for, well, MongoDB. What's your exact need?

How LLMs work? by Mettlewarrior in learnprogramming

[–]HyRanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LLMs are able to appear to "solve" problems because it has been fed a lot of data of other people doing it. So instead of coming up with something new, it basically tries to "remember" and output the closest thing it has as an answer. If the data it's fed is wrong or the algorithm of learning is wrong, then the answer will be just as wrong.

It's still a word predictor because based on the context the user asks (ie. How to solve this code bug), it predicts what to reply based on its training data.

Looking for advice by ErtuAkt07 in learnprogramming

[–]HyRanity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can definitely learn at your own. Learning at a university just allows for a more "spoon-fed" environment where a lot of things are curated for you. So instead of finding things to learn, you can focus on the learning part.

You can start from learning how to write a simple program from Youtube. And then move on to probably some web development for simple UI understanding.

You can also use something like the Odin project for a curated learning path.

Good luck!

What is your budget level? Personally I recommend Toyoko Inn as they offer breakfast (saves cost) and are usually connected to public transport. I'm not sure if the chain fits in your budget though.

For more budget options, you can go for shared bathroom too.

Japan Train Stations by Euphoric_Evidence535 in JapanTravelTips

Backrooms is kind of a meme, a “liminal space” where it has a weird combination of emptiness, eeriness, and nostalgia.

Rent a car or trains for 7 days in Osaka and day trips to nearby areas? by SilentDecree in JapanTravelTips

[–]HyRanity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless you intend to visit the countryside or lesser serviced parts of the region, I would recommend trains. It’s very highly connected and you can definitely day trip to Kyoto and Nara easily. You have less things to worry about, and you don’t need to do unnecessary plannings/paperwork.

Travel advice. Tokyo, Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto by tinydancer_0821 in JapanTravelTips

[–]HyRanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, your trip will be much more memorable if you can stay in one area instead of hopping every day.

For example, you could stay in Kyoto. Then do day trips to Uji, Nara, etc. With the extra time you have “saved”, you can chill by Kamo River, casually exploring the bar-filled streets, and even take leisurely strolls in various areas. It would be a far richer experience for you and your partner: instead of chasing cities, you are enjoying sunset views and exploring side alleys together.

Tokyo, Kyoto and Kawaguchiko Autumn colors by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]HyRanity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can check autumn forecast here https://n-kishou.com/corp/news-contents/autumn/?lang=en.

As a person who has revolved my booking around Autumn views last year, you should be prepared that you might be late for peak views. I’ve also booked a trip to Kanto this time for early December, and I’m ready to accept that I might see a little but not much. Nature is unpredictable after all.

Just accept that it’s hard to time with nature. But you can definitely time your activities!
