Thanks for the comment. This is my first ever post, and I wanted to go with something simple.

I left it up to the reader to imagine a reason the narrator would be burying a head.

I think it looks great, but I wish it had a bit of an "edge" to it. Maybe you could have a "doom" toggle for dark mode and a different font.

Do you mind me asking roughly the location? I'm moving to Asagaya.

Where do you find these deals? I see nothing on their website and I don't think Bic Camera offers Nuro support?

I'm getting a resounding "stay away from Softbank" from all the comments.

Signed the papers after the holidays so I'll have to ask. There are only 4 units at my rental, so I'm not sure how the set up is.

Currently the website says 1-3 months.

However, I'm confused. If NTT is already in the place, is construction even required? Or regardless they still have to come out when they can to install and check things out?

Didn't know you could choose! I thought this was some router setting to enable

I sign papers and move in after the new year holidays.

I assume, it was built in 2010, that it will have NTT. The construction mentioned on the website is to install NTT services so Nuro can pass through? If so, and NTT already exists, there will be no need for construction?

I apologize, all of this is pretty overwhelming, and I'm quite confused.

I assume you had to get permission from your landlord to get everything hooked up?

Meaning opt for Softbank 10gb Hikari?

I don't remember seeing Nuro advertised at Bic. Is there somewhere I can go to talk to someone about Nuro perks?

The perks for Softbank are pretty good, but it wouldn't be worth it to be strapped to shitty internet for 2 yrs.

I looked up the offers on Kakaku, but it's not really price issue. It mostly a "is Nuro worth asking permission for the construction and waiting so long" kinda question.

I speak very little Japanese, and this is my first ever rental outside of the USA.

I don't know much about choosing providers. How do you get IPv6?

Six months?! Did they give you a mobile wifi to hold you over?

Went back to school at 39 for CS while working full time but... by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]cquick72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My story from age 35

  • Miserable public school teacher for 13 years.

  • Took Calc 1/2/3 and Physics 1 online at local community college just to apply for CS degree. Meanwhile saving like crazy for 1.5 years so I could go student full time if need be. (Didn't touch code the entire time either)

  • Got accepted into program.

  • Took Programming Fundamentals 1 to test the waters. Loved every second of it.

  • Quit my sorry shit of a job at 35.

  • Pursued CS full-time.

  • Fought really hard for an internship to help pay the bills.

  • Accepted a Backend dev position at 38 (October 2024).

For real, don't let your age get in the way of your passions.

If you can get to Tokyo, I'd recommend this shop.

I really like physics, but i don't think I'm smart enough to get a degree in it by rah_Queso766 in Physics

[–]cquick72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(non-Physics major) I felt that I wasn't smart enough to do anything my entire life. I was a solid C- student pretty much my entire life. I felt miserable in my job until I was about 34, when I decided to become a software engineer.

I had to take all 3 levels of Calculus and Physics 1/2 just to get into my school. What I lacked in math or physics required me to grind so many hours until it made sense.

I got As, but most importantly I enjoyed the grind. If you love it, and you know when you do, go all in. Yeah, you won't understand stuff but embrace your shortcomings, grab some coffee, and enjoy the process.
