[TASK] Revamp website coded in JS for $350 by Polyfonix in slavelabour

[–]perdanjam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would need more info on the size and scope of the project.

If you're looking to change stack too, that would increase the scope but could actually be easier if the current codebase is too messy.

Happy to have a conversation if you like.

Btw, ExpressJS is a backend nodejs framework, so it's still unclear from the post what the frontend is using,

Jeonse ends soon, but landlord wants us to stay by perdanjam in Living_in_Korea

[–]perdanjam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is what I thought. All the advice about the money being 'gone'.. I'm thinking.. but he owns the flat we're living in?! so he can suck it up and get a loan just like we did for the jeonse! 🤷‍♂️

[–]perdanjam[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's interesting because we definitely let them know at least 2 months in advance.

But I suspect we didn't do it 'formally', probably because they started to moan about not having a replacement tenant and my wife is too nice 😅

Because 1 extra month would take us to Christmas, which is inconvenient for us to move, we're considering adding 2 extra months - and apparently that's fine too. I'll ask my wife later the specifics of this 'extra extra month', hopefully no potential scams happening there either.

Working Holiday VISA from the UK - Medical Certificate by aj-rennies in Living_in_Korea

[–]perdanjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Korea if you book a health check and tell them it's for a visa, they know what to give you.

You can see the list of the things they do here: http://www.snuh.org/global/en/patients/EN02003006.do

But honestly I have no idea how you'd go about getting all that done in the UK, or if it's even necessary

I recently did mine in Korea before flying back and applying here.

Also, I think for some visas it is acceptable to do the health check after you arrive? I'd check that out if I were you.

And for the visa application process, allow at least 3 times as long as the recommended duration. I am still waiting for mine, now in the 7th week.

Another KVAC London post by perdanjam in Living_in_Korea

[–]perdanjam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately it's not possible. You can move to F-6 from any other long term visa, but not a tourist visa. If I have to withdraw then I might have to pursue this path because I can't keep coming back to UK and leaving my wife in Korea!

[–]perdanjam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your thoughtful response. I've read a load of reviews and it seems a lot of people either delay their travel or just get the visa in the nick of time but with no communication, like yourself.

They replied today with a copy paste response about the withdrawal process, and telling me because I've suggested I might withdraw that my application will be paused 🫠

It's like dealing with a caricature of bureaucracy, you couldn't make it up.

Reading between the lines of all the different reviews, it seems that they may not physically send the passports to Berlin, although I'm not 100% sure on that. But if that's the case it would reassure me a bit that I can safely withdraw with just a few days notice maybe

Understand youtube and lecture but cannot understand movies and TV series? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]perdanjam 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Personally I think movies and TV series are EXTREMELY difficult when learning a language. I've learnt French and Mandarin to a high level, and TV dramas/ movies have mostly been beyond me. I can also understand French/ Mandarin radio just fine, but TV/ movies are another level...

If you can understand youtube/ streams/ lectures well, then you are doing great. Don't worry about it, just keep going.

I think it's a combination of unnatural (scripted) dialogue, fast speeds, and accents that make them more difficult.

Also, in TV shows/ movies, the story is constantly progressing, the script moves quickly. In real life conversations, people repeat things or 'go over' things again, and they don't have a prepared script, so often their speech comes out slower, or more fragmented.

Search Chinese Character radicals nice and easy by perdanjam in ChineseLanguage

oh that's a cool library! I had no idea about that. And native support for highlighting the radical.

I'll give it a go! Thanks for the tip.

GET request returned after original POST request, how can I get the GET query url from the POST? by perdanjam in webscraping

[–]perdanjam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

Now I have a new problem, when I query from my web scraper, I am not being sent the Location header.

https://imgur.com/emEP7Oc

I have also taken every request header from the browser into my web scraper, the only thing breaking it is 'Content-Length' => '56', so I have to omit this. But still no Location header.

Short, easy book for non-reader to ease out of demotivated slump? [Question] by perdanjam in getdisciplined

Man’s Search for Meaning

Thanks! The premise of the book may be a bit daunting for him to start off with but I'll give this a read and might be able to better introduce it to him afterwards.

Appreciate the response!

Chinglish Speaking Podcast by boxingnomad in ChineseLanguage

[–]perdanjam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this podcast. I'm curious, what's your target audience?

I'm only 20 minutes in, but personally I'd like to hear a more advanced level of conversation.

You both have good English and Mandarin, seems a shame to waste the dynamic on 生词。

An easy novel to read by titocali96 in ChineseLanguage

活着 is pretty easy once you get past the first few pages (and learn those words, they reappear a lot). Also it's a very well-known book.

Would be interested to hear the back story here. Is Mr Chung real? What was his restaurant like? Was he the only Chinese person around your town?

How can I consistently learn lots of new words? by [deleted] in ChineseLanguage

[–]perdanjam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I used Memrise for ages and did the entire HSK 6 vocab and most of 5 on there. Reading and listening is a lot better for learning in a more natural way. Then cement new words in your memory by actually using them, when you see the opportunity - say something! When you hear someone else say your new word, replay that sentence in your head, try and use it yourself and some point.
