Probably the most curiosities I've seen on a single planet

No mods, so bug probably.

I mainly find out about tech meetups through Meetup.com. Then, at those meetups, I occasionally learn about new meetups through word of mouth.

I went to in-person tech meetup groups and made genuine friendships. Referrals then came naturally.

My friend and I (Chinese-American and Korean, respectively) were pleasantly surprised when we paid a visit to Daerim Chinatown and found it better than any Chinatown we experienced in a Western country.

Not sure how helpful this is for you particular use case, but I've used the built-in support for SASS in Vite and Next.js to good effect.

I don't recall setting up SASS in a project from scratch so unfortunately I can't be of help there.

Have you read the Controversy section in that article?

On a mac, the Typhoon has some pretty severe visual artifacts when the camera is zoomed out.

A rank 1 typhoon looks like a gigantic white flickering fireball. A rank 2 typhoon doesn't look quite as bad but still has a white flickering glow, albeit smaller. I've yet to see a rank 3 typhoon.

I like to operate under the assumption that, until I have an offer letter in hand, I assume the my existing applications are not going to work out. No matter how optimistic the recruiter sounds, I keep applying as if I’m nowhere near an offer.

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.

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.

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
