  • Japan is almost entirely metric (with a couple old units used in parallel). We buy TVs, monitors, and bicycle tires in inches (which, while fine for me, is just gibberish to japanese). I'd love for that to stop

  • I don't know how that works considering they can fly directly to US bases. I guess it could potentially stop them going off base, but i don't know how that would be enforced. I'm basing this off of some familiarity with military folks in Japan I've met.

  • In many parts of the world, shoe sizes are unified (cm or mm). They still use the labels for men and women for style but, so far as I know, they're otherwise the same (unless the widths differ, but those are also standardized in many places so you might get like a 25.5e for 25.5cm width e)

  • gRPC does not use HTTP status codes. I meant that I might be making a similar mistake with gRPC status codes though, after checking just now, not so much (there are only 17 total codes, not all of which apply to my APIs).

  • Yeah, I know how http status codes work. I just followed the existing pattern at my current place with gRPC and this post made me realize I don't know most gRPC error codes and best practices.

  • I looked into it once at my last company, but none of us knew it and we had a tight deadline. For our scale and usecase, it definitely seemed like needless complication for most things compared to any payoff of switching.

  • me with gRPC error codes: nil, parameter error, app error -- OK, you fucked up, we fucked up. Edit: forgot NotFound.

    I really should read about the various ones that exist at some point, but I've always got bigger fires to put out.

    Edit, since it seems unclear, gRPC != HTTP and does not use the same status codes. I meant that I felt like I was using fewer than I should, though I just checked and basically not.

  • I renewed a year or two ago and it was no big deal (US passport but longtime Japan resident) and took like 3 weeks. I think part of it was by mail, even, though I can't recall for sure (I think I submitted in person and received by mail? Now that I live hours away from Tokyo, I certainly hope that's an option in 8ish years).

  • I'd start by researching areas and find places you like the climate, vibe, future prospects, etc. from there, start with suumo then the akiya bank to get an idea. Next, go in person and spend a weekend there. See what exists that is NOT listed anywhere other thanaybr a sign in the yard (or not even listed but obviously not lived in).

  • It could be that, despite many (most?) pizzas having more white cheese, the white cheese is more prevalent but, particularly in the US, cheese is often associated with yellow/orangish tones so they included it to match that expectation. They're a big company and these came out in the '90s IIRC, so I imagine it was researched and focus-grouped to death before launch and, since two cheeses are almost certainly more expensive than one, there's probably a reason there are two.
