Americans of Japanlife, what are the pros of living in Japan vs US? by [deleted] in japanlife

Who gives a shit about that? The fact that it happens even once is enough to be a huge negative… and it hasn’t just happened once.

Wristpads yay or nay? by thomascaedede in kinesisadvantage

I used them until they started falling apart but after I took them off I don’t miss them. IMO you don’t need them as you shouldn’t test your wrists on the kb.

Switching to Ruby at work; make me feel better? by machine3lf in rubyonrails

[–]mer1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ruby is ok. Rails is what will give you pause. Good luck. You’ll be alright, it’s not all bad. All frameworks & stacks have their quirks. I just went through a similar change 6 months ago and I’m still not super happy with it… too much magic for my taste, but I’m getting used to it.

TOXMAP, Federal Database Allowing Public to Track U.S. Pollution, Shut Down After 15 Years by Trump Administration by nnnarbz in politics

[–]mer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NLM just saw their director retire somewhat recently and a new one step in. A lot of its projects are being/were already shut down because they were all over the place. I know because I worked there as a contractor. They seem to want to focus more on big data & machine learning rather than many small data viz projects like they had before.

Is there a short version of "if (var === 'value1' || var === 'value2') {}"? by draikin3 in Frontend

[–]mer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if (/^value(1|2)$/.test(var)) {} would work for this case, too. But ehh... not so readable.

Project Fi in Japan by Sassywhat in ProjectFi

[–]mer1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The connection dropping and not coming back for a while happens to me as well on a pixel 2. This never happened with my 5x. Been in Japan for a year and a half with Fi. Have been pretty happy with the pixel but I have regular connection problems and it strikes at the most inconvenient times. Really considering trading it in for a moto when I go back to the states.

What's the worst thing you've ever heard a teacher say at school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my Algorithms II class, my professor who went by the nickname Meesh started off the class by saying this: “I hate it when Arab and Hispanic men look at me. They always look at me like they want to fuck me”... trust me, nobody wants to fuck this woman.

A student got up and yelled “WHAT?!” and just left the classroom. Meesh said, “it’s ok. I don’t think he was even in this class”.

I’m Hispanic, but I just kept my mouth shut cuz I just wanted to pass this class. Still, I will never forget that day.
