Heh, that’s specifically why I qualified it as ‘position on earth’.

I hate the way it sounds but, at the same time, it is simpler and more regular.

If I snapped you back in time 650 years

2025 - 650 =1375

Its the 12th century

1375 is the 14th century. Which do you mean?

Answering the actual question, nothing good would come of it if my location on earth didn’t change. Being the only white person in rural northern Japan well before Europeans came in the 1500s would probably not be a good situation for me. The language, at least the written one, was very different. Being the Nanboku-chō era, things would probably be not great since it was in the midst of 60ish years of war with two different people claiming to be in charge. I can’t find, at least before my coffee kicks in, exactly what kinda state Mutsu Province, as it was then called, was in at the time.

I would argue it depends upon the buzzing device, but bzzz for all of them is indeed arbitrary. Even IPA doesn’t represent sounds that humans can’t produce, so it wouldn’t suffice, but them’s the breaks.

Not all British accents are non-rhotic to begin with. Exposure to the sound and ability to reproduce it, even if not a lot in speech, means that the onomatopoeia, if used, should be the same.

In languages where a sound doesn’t exist, it gets more interesting. In Japanese, bzzz is not pronounceable and for a buzzer (or something like a phone in vibrate mode) they will say ブー (buu) which is just the syllable bu with a long u sound (think of a crowd booing, but the o vowel there is different to the Japanese u vowel).

We never had our crons in source control, but I always saved it somewhere (usually on my machine and the target machine) so we had some history just in case of typing r instead of l for some reason. You can also create an alias called backupCrontab or something that runs the command for you and puts the output somewhere safe.

Yes. I don’t know where to go either. I was purely giving my opinion on the ai vibe-coding thing.

because my wacky brain can’t seen to retain anything that can’t be copy/paste into a text doc.

That is not what I said. Vibe coding and using AIs tends to have security issues and not produce the best code.

If you want a professional developer to work on it, you need to put your sales hat on and sell them on the idea (or come up with enough cash to pay outright for someone to do it). It sounds like, based on your response to another poster, you do have a lot of the mechanics, UI/UX design, etc. so you should have a good point from which to pitch.

I would instantly distrust and never go near your app. I am a software engineer with more than two decades of IT experience.

To the current constitution-violating republican administration, none of this matters and the cruelty is part of it. That said, let’s play a game:

• what is the country of someone who grew up in the US, possibly speaking only English?
• what happens if the country is inaccessible for some reason (countries occasionally collapse or close borders)
• what happens if the borders of the country change and the person’s hometown (or all their family) is now in country X instead of their country of birth Y

There are probably more weird edge cases that would need to be in any law as well.

Several countries have laws about naming to prevent stupid/abusive/non-traditional names (use cases vary by country)

If that wage is meant to be the same everywhere: economic chaos. A living wage for a worker in NYC, NY, USA is very different to the living wage in Da Nang, Viet Nam. You could work for eventual parity, but that comes with its own huge set of challenges. It’s interesting to think about.

I had it working, upgraded Mint, and it broke. I had already been fighting to get that upgrade done for a couple hours at that point (there were issues), so I was just over it after researching and trying a few things. People have got it working but, as a dude with two jobs, I ain’t got time for that.

I can’t answer that, but the reason I’m typing this from Windows is that getting DiVinci to reliably work in linux has been a pain in my ass.

I live in Japan where we also have inflation, wage stagnation, increasing inequality, and a handful of elites with disproportionate influence.

I use vscode for everything these days, but I work mostly in go. I always preferred intellij to eclipse and the like for java and never used vscode for it.

Or, if on mbin, do that in reverse (at least in my case; hot stays stagnant but active is always changing).

Use bullet points as it helps. A lot of people suck at reading and a lot aren’t great at writing. Some peoples’ styles are also just not very compatible.

I had a trouble with this a lot when I was younger and got told:

• short sentences
• bullet points
• if all else fails multiple emails with a single question because apparently I have all the time in the world.

The only one country and citizen name used in Japan outside of very formal contexts is ‘America’ アメリカ. You will occasionally see 米 (bei = rice) used in some contexts, particularly with the kanji of another country as an abbreviation for things regarding those two countries (日米野球… Japanese-American baseball…). Finally, you have アメリカ合衆国 which is the formal name and used on paperwork and means something more like ‘America peoples together country’ somewhat literally, but stands in for the US of A. Technically, there’s also 亜米利加 which is the old way to write it phonetically using kanji without really meaning something about the system of government or anything (it’s just a me ri ka).

People on work, study, spouse, etc. as well as permanent residents and other long-term categories absolutely should in my opinion. I say this even though my ability to do that as a long-term (decade) resident of Japan doesn’t fully exist. Tourists I’d say… probably but I don’t see the usecase where one would want to go to a place just to protest in that place outside of some edge cases.
