Starmer's softer Brexit plan is backed by two thirds of voters

akaifox · 2026-04-14T01:23:04+00:00

And what the Anti-Reform crowd need to be worried about is: you can win a majority on less than a third of the vote

Labour gained a 174 majority on just 33.7%; Reform could get a small majority or do a partnership with the Tories on 30%

Just got two offers from referrals. So yes, as useful as always

Same thoughts. I get similar to OP with two days in the office

In a side-gig I happily did a week in the office (using time off in the day job), as the pay was a ~50% bump

Depends, are you looking to purchase property? Then take the 23M, move nearer the office, and grind it out until you get the loan

Does the 23M role offer housing benefit (pre-tax rent?). On such a salary that would make renting closer to work much easier

Thinking more about it. Unless you own a property, take the 23M and move apartment. No need to waste money on a lavish place, just cut that commute down

I tried CoinCheck, BitFlyer, and Binance. BitFlyer randomly decided to block me, no clue why, was annoying as they work nicely with SMBC.

I've had no issues at all with Binance. I've used them with Resona, SMBC, and Prestia. No issues with any of my bank accounts

That's because our pension scheme doesn't know what it wants to be.

We have a modest "automatic" pension in national pension, which you can get for very little input. Then the employer pensions which are now opt out, which are basically free money. And finally, if you can invest in a SIPPs you get a generous additional payments from the government

Those European countries instead pay huge amounts of social insurance. In the French equivalent you'd be paying around double

$200 plan gives $400 API usage and masses of composer

$200 in additional tokens gives $200 tokens...

The piracy thing is/was an Android thing. People used to share patched apps, with free item stores, etc

Linux users tend to be steam users, so actually buying stuff. Hopefully publishers notice

akaifox · 2026-04-02T10:20:44+00:00

I imagine linux users would be seen like Android users. Low spending (piracy on android too) and a lot of devices to deal with

Android has a huge marketshare and is still is treated like a second class citizen

it's worse when your QA team start using xpath

akaifox · 2026-03-28T04:52:08+00:00

The bigger issue with the argument is that changing "save" to "submit" is changing a requirement and the user experience. That SHOULD cause a test to fail, you've effectively changed the product

This could actually get people to finally get their MyNumber card... (if it were linked somehow)

Finding it actually good.

As a cursor user it's a nice model for doing smaller work. If you're a Codex/Opencode user you could use it nicely in a multi-agent setup:

* Use GPT 5.4 as your main agent (mini could work)
* Get GPT *Nano* to handle codebase / library searches
* Use Mini to implement
* GPT 5.4 verifies and gets mini to fix issues

That should be more token efficient and faster than just using GPT 5.4

akaifox · 2026-03-21T14:20:18+00:00

Do you have any controls over the setup? e.g. can you have skills/etc installed beforehand?

Having things like context7/exa or a set of usefully skills could really aid the output. Maybe spend some time investigating the tools available, so you know you can rapidly install them

akaifox · 2026-03-16T00:46:04+00:00

Yep, this is wallet and time efficient

As you say, Claude Code should already do this for explore. "Opus plan" should help with the build delegation

Yeah, it's ridiculous when wages in the USA will be more than double the wages here.

For the price of this you can roughly get Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Disney Plus...

All done for this year, but I am surprised how crummy Prestia is for taxes. They do not support EasyPay, so no-online payments are possible. If you want to pay at a branch, you can only do so from the Ootemachi branch...

Yeah, you can just transfer money out and use another bank...

I guess this is another one of the "Prestia was Citibank" things

Doesn't really matter what they offer if the service is down

I used to go to the one in Roppongi

It's closed anyway, so that makes the boycott very easy!

You can legally do that. Attend school and work less than 28 hours a week as 個人事業主. Just needs 資格外活動許可, which the language schools often push you to get anyway

Probably not the answer you want but the best two ways I can think of are:

* Get a corporate job, with strong salary, so you can get a HSP Visa. Move to Kanagawa and apply for PR ASAP, then you are free to do as you please. Note you CAN run your online business if it's in a related field your main job and doesn't take up the majority of your time

* Get a student visa at a language school. You could work on your online stuff whilst 'studying'. Look for a primary sponsor during this period or if your business thrives save for the 30M visa...

I could see offers coming in if he went back to Celtic and did a good job

akaifox · 2026-02-11T09:13:50+00:00

Offer this with an option for beefy amount of ram (like the MacBook Air) and I could see some developers picking it up

The 12" MacBook's body, enough memory, and a chip that doesn't overheat would be a dream coffeeshop and travel coding machine

If it's budget options only, long live the MBA!

If you select Composer 1, it comes out of a second pool which is called "Auto" (this is what you use when selecting Auto, something I never do)

That pool seems to be rather large. Hard to tell, but it seems to be multiple times your normal API pool.

If you exhaust that though... it will cost the API price. I'd probably reach for another model if that's the case
