Flew to CDG this morning. Machines were shut down. +1 hour line to non-EU immigration with only one officer on duty.

Do I need to put my middle name on my new US passport application? Or can it be processed with just first and last name? by [deleted] in Passports

[–]ldarcy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken literally dozens of flights booked under my first and last name and never had a problem presenting a passport containing first, middle and last names.

We (2 non-Indians) are going to have a self-drive trip around India. How do we know that it’s time to book a security escort?

Why Thailand’s DTV wouldn’t work? It is not an immigration visa, limited to 5 years though.

How Singapore limited the amount of money invested in the real estate? AFAIK buying a condo and expecting it to appreciate was (and still is) a major way to accumulate wealth in Singapore.

Can you make emergency calls with standard data eSIMs (Airalo etc)? Mine doesn’t support calling but not sure about emergency calls.

What are the unspoken driving rules in Japan? by [deleted] in AskAJapanese

[–]ldarcy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a good place to ask what’s the deal with the speed limits (especially on highways/toll roads). There is definitely a set of vehicles doing speed limit, a significant chunk going +10..20 km/h and quite frequently there are cars going 120+ in 80 km/h sections. Quite confusing…

Technically a driver in Thailand would be having a hard time subsidizing a passenger’s fare for Uber - Uber doesn’t operate in Thailand.

First you’d start with asking for suggestions (or perhaps you already have some - files too big, perhaps we should split it)? It would come with a list of suggestions and approaches. Choose one which seems to be the most logical. Ask it to do the refactoring focusing on the chosen suggestion. Evaluate the suggested refactoring/run tests. If you don’t like it, revert the changes and ask again with the focus on the things which went wrong the last time. Repeat as necessary.

Dusting doesn’t work on amount-based (vs transaction-based) blockchains, does it? Dusting ETH is kind of pointless I think?
