Please think about localization and various labeling standards and such. I live in Japan and bought a subscription to Chronometer when MyFitnessPal decided to enshitify. I was submitting labels with barcodes and information in their appropriate boxes (protein, carbs, etc.) but they rejected it because the image (required picture) had non-English text. Apparently there is (or at least was) a manual review process and they rejected everything not in English. Further, it took either weeks or months (I forget now) for the first response to my submitted data to come so I kept putting all this time into something utterly useless. They lost me as a customer as well.
US American. I've lived overseas a long time and pronounce the 'h' in 'herbs' because, as Eddie Izzard once said, "it's got a fucking 'h' in it". I don't know when I switched but my mom laughed at me when we had a call recently.
One I only noticed a couple years ago: turmeric (was saying, and still frequently hear) 'toomeric'.
I tried to watch it a couple of times and never finished it. Apparently, it's a fairly divisive and hard-to-predict pick for recommendation systems as well.
I would argue that Goonies had a decent bit of it. It really scratches my nostalgia itch not just for the movie itself, but for things from my childhood. That springy workout thing, kids on bikes, the cars, etc. all just do it for me.
Breakfast Club also came to mind, but I haven't seen it in long enough to know for sure if it ticks the boxes.
I definitely agree with Flashdance being up there and Rocky.
but moving there is such a massive pain that it really doesn't seem worth it unless you live in a developing country where you can go to Japan
I'll take minor issue here. If you have a 4-year degree and a company sponsor (sometimes equivilent work experience, but that requires documentation and expenses a company won't typically want to pay) in a white-collar job, getting here is pretty easy. Even somewhat easier for English teachers. Max visa is 5 years, though they can be renewed. After 5 years, one can apply for citizenship (though must renounce others). Permanent residency is available from 1 (highly-skilled professional), 3 (points system on any 3-year visa with a couple asterisks; marriage), or 10 (not enough points in system, 10 years of working in Japan , and on 3-year visa), and more I don't know about
Japan actually has a lot of foreign nurses (largely from the Philippines as with many countries). It is a higher barrier to entry due to needing to know not only regular and business japanese but also medical jargon and be able to pass tests in japanese on it.
I imagine immigration in that sector will grow (it's not mutually exclusive to robotics), particularly as the older generations die out.
I nearly went to grad school here in Japan to work on stuff like this. Still might do that if I win the lottery or something (though probably not as it's not really doable remotely and I have a farm in rural Japan)
That's going to depend on the contract. The contract involves the studio, publisher, distributer, etc. of the manga and then all the stuff on the anime side. I unfortunately no longer really talk to any to have a more specific answer, though again that would all depend upon the above.
I only played Skyrim until about two months ago. I actually got either daggerfall or Morrowind ages ago bundled with a graphics card but never got it working on my machine back then. About 2 months ago, I played oblivion for the first time and... Mostly enjoyed it. It's clear Skyrim had a lot of quality-of-life improvements (empty bodies/containers labeled, dungeon runback after completion, lock picking, and some other things) but also did away with some cool stuff (verticality in levels (springheel boots, athletics, acrobatics), meaningful water level bits, ability scores, and more) that I missed a lot going back into Skyrim.
I will say I did play through the tutorial of oblivion like 1.5 or 2 years ago and hated it so much I uninstalled. Carry weight and not understanding a number of things made me not like it. I think watching videos of people playing gave me more background on the game, lore, and perhaps most importantly mechanics that made it much more enjoyable. It would not surprise me if other skyrim-only players had similar experience.
I know north American c64s had power supply issues and I think capacitor issues. I imagine the latter is true there as well, though not sure about the former
They make user port carts with SD cards that basically function as hard drives these days (though I doubt they would be using them). There is also paper as a record which may meet any requirements they have.
I have domain knowledge for some usages at least, and worked on things that were converted fairly recently from COBOL and places that still had AS/400 and such in use. I am aware I would need experience (beyond personal) before any real money would be there.
I live and work in Japan where dev salaries are much lower so, if I could just get a contract gig in USD, that would be pretty big for me especially with 1usd being 150 JPY or more
I always wonder if I should just learn COBOL and try to just do a few juicy contracts a year and focus on my other pursuits (farming and considering making a game, as well as vacation of course) the rest of the year.
