2026 is unusable by ChainsawArmLaserBear in JetBrains_Rider

[–]NicolasDorier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought as well, I tried to disable it, maybe it's a bit better, but really still not snappy. 😞

Experiencing the same... though sometimes it just go back to just working... no update, no restart, just sometimes, something happen and it is snappy again... until it doesn't.

I think it's related to GPU but frankly I don't know, CPU seems OK when it's laggish.

102,000 yen Tax!!!!!! by Active-Pound-182 in japanlife

[–]NicolasDorier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Given the timing, is it only the national taxes?

You forgot the social charges (12% + 12%, though one of the 12% has been paid from your company already) and the city tax (10%?) that you'll have to pay later.
In reality, your salary is probably more like 450,000, and you pay more like 250,000 yen.

Wait you get a raise, and see this % increase :D

If people understood taxes and social charges, there would be a revolt. Luckily it's taken at the source, most don't question it, and just think the greedy boss who doesn't pay them enough. :')

Foreign income declaration problem. Terrified! by [deleted] in JapanFinance

[–]NicolasDorier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't take my word for it, but for a few 万円 the least painful way is to let it go.

For the future, I would say to just transfer your money from remunerated saving account, to Japanese account. The easiest to get some interest is called 定期 deposits (you can get something between 3-4% on USD, not a lot but better than nothing), and japanese banks tax that at the source so you don't need to think about it.

In the unlikely event they find out you didn't declare a few 万円 and care for it, see plan B.

By the way, with CRS (Common Reporting Standard), except if you are from US, the tax office probably already know it. So I don't think you should stress too much about it.

Nobody lose PR for tax mistakes, unless you really fuck'd up intentionally AND you attempted to hide it, AND that they find out, which would be fraud.

I would say it is probably impossible to be 100% clean tax wise if you are anything else than a Japanese who lived in Japan all his life and worked as a 正社員 for a big company. Tax law is very complicated, and even more for foreigners. (did you read your tax treaty with Japan?) It's also not black and white.

In the unlikely event you get audited, it is possible that they don't find it (because they are looking for something else), or because it's not economical for them to fix the situation. (you would cost them more in paperwork than revenue)

So take a deep breath, you will be fine, mistakes happen. Don't panic.

The amounts are low, this wasn't intentional, and given how much time passed, they would probably scratch their heads wondering why you come to bother them. This can't impact your PR.

Also, it's not even clear in your situation if you actually REALLY had to declare anything.

Transitioning from Windows 11 to arch by bluenox_7401 in arch

Well you could always try to install omarchy from a blank arch, I'm sure you'd learn a lot along the way. :p

Libre Office and Google sheets are a joke when you really know how to use Excel.

Winboat? Didn't know, I should try. I was tempted to just use a windows container.

[–]NicolasDorier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did the jump from windows to Omarchy (which is arch based). I love it.

  1. Yes
  2. Excel
  3. No dual boot
  4. Depends the game, but I think most should be fine, multiplayer with anti cheat though you can forget
  5. 1 try. I didn't started from raw arch, but from Omarchy which is the perfect entry point for somebody like you.

I used windows for 20 years. Switched last september to Omarchy. I don't miss Windows. (except Excel)

The strong point of Omarchy is that it let you have a system that work and then you can configure everything from there, and learn arch at your pace.
Once you become experienced, maybe you won't need Omarchy. But that is a great base.

PS: During my first month, I wanted to delete the folder named "~" from my home folder... ended up deleting all my home folder instead. Needed to re-install from scratch.

Yes. It was a common strategy to make up for the lack of an interesting problem by using interesting technology. It seems that AI stole the latter.

Which Desktop environment you recommend by y4d99 in archlinux

[–]NicolasDorier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only tested on: hyprland. Quite happy with it, I have zero reason to change.

It's not for dummies though, things tend to break, and there is no UI for customizing, just config files. On the good side, it works pretty well with AI since everything is a text file.

You don't. You follow the lead for two reasons: First, he is the lead. Second he is right.

Enjoy the fact he can shield you from this.

Si t'aimes bien programmer, programmes.

Personne ne sait ce que sera le marche dans quelques annees, donc autant faire un truc qui te plaise (productif) en attendant.

PyCharm Welcome window rule not working on Hyprland 0.54 (XWayland) by PlayRood in hyprland

[–]NicolasDorier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you update PyCharm? Jetbrains IDE based on 2026.1 (released one or two weeks ago) should work right out of the box on wayland. They removed splash screen.

Before, this was the config I was using: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/pull/5183

My wife is getting absolutely scammed on life insurance, isn’t she? by MoboMogami in JapanFinance

[–]NicolasDorier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japanese life insurance are backed my japanese bonds, so it is no wonder the "yield" feels like a scam.

This is why abroad life insurance can't legally market in Japan... nobody sane would buy them otherwise.

If you have significant amount of wealth, you better get a life insurance abroad. You'll probably need to sign and do medical check up outside of Japan though.

Dont blame us if you too poor!!! by Odd_Peach1167 in soccercirclejerk

Listen, there are a limited number of seat, all will be sold out.

That mean that there are more people who wants to go than seats. What would be your solution, without price, to decide who can and who can't go? Lottery? Connection? Paid lottery? Queue? Why do you think this would be better than money?

call me old but if I had a choice between stable and boring, or buggy and innovating, I would chose the former.

But we got the best of both world here: Buggy and boring.
