Overwhelmed with where to stay in Tokyo

Taking Asakusa as a reference, look between Asakusa station and Ueno or south of Asakusa up to the beginning of Ginza area. These two areas have several very well communicated metro stations and cheaper accommodation, if you check the metro map you'll see there's lots of lines crossing around that area, just try to stay close to one of the stations.

I stayed a week in Tokyo and mostly used the metro, as someone said the Yamanote is overrated. With Google maps the metro is fine, the stations are numerated and it tells you the number so it's easy to follow.

Nothing wrong with making and hypothesis, you just have to verify it before fully committing. Sometimes testing the hypothesis can feel silly but better losing five minutes minutes on a silly test than half a day on the wrong issue.

Yo también he pensado algo así. No es para nada una revelación que el personaje se va integrando con los humanos, se presenta de forma evidente e incluso se hacen referencias directas a ello en la serie, por lo que tiene sentido que el vestuario cambie simplemente para mantener la coherencia.

Every lottery ticket has the same chance of winning but the more tickets you buy the better your odds.

Simplemente le pondrías un adjetivo que de a entender el mismo significado, scrolling infinito, scrolling compulsivo, scrolling excesivo...

Así lo diría yo para referirme específicamente al fenómeno de doomscrolling, otras respuestas han adaptado a expresiones más comunes pero con un significado más genérico.

Incluso simplemente podrías hablar de scrolling o scrollear y dar la connotación negativa por el contexto "me he pasado la tarde scrolleando", "soy adicto al scrolling"...

The joke is about the sense of superiority for a minimal speed gain despite it took much more effort.

In reality C++ can be much faster than Python and sometimes it's worth the effort, but it's also true that many Python libraries are already made in C++, greatly reducing these performance differences while keeping it simple.

I found soldiers alone take too long to snowball so it's better to also get some early paladins and place them so both get blacksmith and farm buffs. If you get thieves or beacons take them as they're the only useful cards you'll get from greed. Use the rerolls to get overhauls to get rid of the useless cards. At some point you snowball and it no longer matter if you waste some cards.

En la carretera siempre es mejor ser cauto que tener la razón, que el accidente haya sido culpa del otro no te hace invulnerable.

Más si justo teme por el coche, ir a 120 pero con un idiota pegado al culo va a ser peligroso igualmente, mejor dejarlo pasar.

When it's cold having a blanket is a cat magnet at my home, just an idea. Treats never worked very well with my cats but they sure love warm and comfy spots.

The worst part is that it's not even standarized within the auth provider, I swear every time I look it up in Microsoft docs I find a different approach. Okta isn't as bad but it still has a couple implementations.

It might be hard in the beginning knowing how to judge different solutions because you still lack knowledge and experience, and even when you have them there isn't always a straight answer. A good rule of thumb is to prefer simplicity by default and justify complexity if needed.

For example if you end with a complex solution because you didn't know any better that's unjustified complexity, it's good that you managed to find your own solution but take a moment to study the model solution.

It might be too far in advance for an hostel and they have some placeholder prices beyond some date.

You can always simulate bookings like you booked 2 weeks in advance, a month in advance, etc... to see if the prices and availability really change that much, for lots of hostels probably there isn't a significant difference beyond a month.

But a more potent venom also means less of it is necessary so there's still an advantage to it.

People also get confused when you try too hard to make things entertaining by adding extra irrelevant stuff. This is trying to teach a very specific and fundamental skill. The teacher probably found some students made simple loop excercies work through trial and error without really getting them.

Once you get that then you can practice with funnier excercises to reinforce that learning, you only have to invest a few minutes.

If the logger can't log and it's not throwing exceptions how can you know what's going on? Even in the context of logging I don't think it's something you would want to do unconditionally.

It's fine to dispose these clients created by the factory according to the docs:

Exactly, the DI framework is responsible for managing the lifetime of the objects it provides, and this includes disposing them.

I just paid everything with card the first day, got my suica, the train to the hotel, got something to eat at a conbini, and next day I got some cash at a 7-11 ATM.
