...
> Regarding the positioning of the "Permanent Resident" status of residence:
> ・ Explicitly stated for the first time that, as it is "the most stable legal status—entailing no restrictions on activities or duration of stay and presupposing a lifetime spent in Japan"—there is a "need for particularly careful screening."
...
> Regarding "2. Requirement for Independent Livelihood"
> ・ Underlying Principle: Explicitly requires an economic status equal to or better than that of Japanese nationals, both currently and in the future.
> ・ Income: Whether income consistently meets or exceeds the average income level of Japanese households based on household size (raising the standard).
> ・ Pension: Whether the projected future pension benefit amount reaches the level corresponding to 30 years of enrollment in the Employees' Pension Insurance at the aforementioned annual income level (newly added requirement; however, financial assets that can cover any shortfall will also be taken into account).

If you train and instruct a circus tiger to entertain an audience but not attack the audience, but the tiger attacks the audience anyway, are you liable?
Re:Can a MUD evaluate LLMs? A $99 proof of concept
on Wednesday July 22, 2026 @07:59PM (#49015123)
It's interesting that you chose to measure how well each LLM did in talking to other NPCs, and having each NPC also use an LLM to react to each input. Why not have the LLM fight NPCs and loot items (both a significant part of the MUD experience, neither requiring LLMs on the server side), then measure character progression in experience and stats?

Re:From engineer to manager: what I love, what I hate

I've never seen a large company with more L7+ engineers than L7+ managers. Usually it's a ratio of drastically more managers hired/promoted into those levels than engineers, and some orgs don't have any engineers in those levels at all.
Re:Xonsh: Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell

Take a look at https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh/issues before deciding to abandon the devil you know.
I prefer sticking with bash where necessary (where a script is the only thing that will reasonably work), and elsewhere using a programming language with testing, type checking, modularity, and compilation into something with zero or minimal runtime dependencies.

Re:Using jlink to cross-compile minimal JREs
on Tuesday January 17, 2023 @09:06AM (#34412481)
You don't need to run jlink yourself to avoid shipping the entire JDK. Here's a java19 runtime docker image at 62MB:
https://hub.docker.com/_/eclipse-temurin/tags?page=1&name=19...
Not customizing the runtime per build or per app also potentially helps reuse of docker image layers across your container registries and clusters.
Re:Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem – one library at a time

You still need postcss or something like it to use css modules. The alternative of CSS-in-JS requires a build step to extract either a CSS file or inline critical styles for server rendering. The browser-native alternative of CSS Module Scripts doesn't work in Safari.
You still need babel, tsc, or swc to transform typescript to JS.
And then there are imports of files that aren't JS (images, fonts, stylesheets, etc).
Re:The Evolution of Scalable CSS
on Saturday November 12, 2022 @08:07AM (#33572680)
There's still no good way of publishing an npm package with multiple components, stylesheets per component, and transitive consumers using only the stylesheets for the components they reference while rendering fully server side. CSS is still not scalable.

Very good to have a smaller runtime. Some of the stated benefits of the new generator are silly and the comparison with ts-proto doesn't point out the actual improvement (generating d.ts files means your CI doesn't spend time type-checking and compiling ts sources), but nice to see this new alternative.

I think that's ocaml. Higher level, with GC, nice type system, no traits but signatures and higher order modules might be enough for you, and a compiler that produces fast native binaries.

Re:Rethinking Levels, Promotions and Salaries
on Friday February 18, 2022 @01:17PM (#30389157)
Reconsider because you'll do yourself a disservice by expecting the world to work that way. You don't want to be surprised and upset when your employer rewards someone for introducing more bureaucracy instead of some technically challenging work you delivered.
Re:Rethinking Levels, Promotions and Salaries
on Friday February 18, 2022 @08:15AM (#30385290)
If you truly believe this, then please reconsider. The tech industry doesn't reward people for technically challenging work. Consider how many large companies were/are built on what you'd consider to be terrible technology choices.
Don't expect an "ultimately necessary transition" because it'll likely go in the opposite direction.
