What about Mono? Looks like most of the people working on .NET are working out of Redmond at Microsoft.

my comment didn’t make sense…was think comment right below this…

Yeah, it’s ruff there is the crazy work hours and then often the “mandatory” drinking parties after work. It really can put your own culture in perspective.

It’s likely a side-effect of it being translated as Gairaigo then back to English. It’s so common there are lots of interesting and funny examples all over the Japan and is referred to as “jinglish”.

Unfortunately, the past war crimes, were horrific and the lack of accountability for them remains an issue. I can not speak for the average Japanese citizen but I have a feeling most of the Japanese people are ashamed of the cult of personality of their past leaders and wish the current government would handle things like the controversies surrounding Yasukuni Shrine differently. Much like most American’s don’t support Trumpism.

Who knows about the source but I was looking to see any indication of where this was. I actually got a chance to see a baseball game at the Tokyo Dome or maybe it was a sumo event - it was so long ago. From my own experience and shallow understanding of the culture it’s probably true. One of the huge motivations is the fear of bringing shame to your family which can be good and bad…it’s just such a different culture and an outsider like me really can’t fully appreciate or really understand because even if you spend your life there you will probably always be considered a bit of an outsider. And the Tom Selleck movie Mr. Baseball is actually pretty good.

The crime rate and especially the murder rate compared the the US is shockingly different.

One of the highlights of my life was having a chance to live with a family in the Tokyo suburbs - in Akitsu Higashimurayama. Miss them so much. お母さん に 会いたい な～

re-builder in Emacs works really good for this because I’ll usually have the text in a buffer already that I want to match or replace or adjust or select - I’m constantly using it.

I’m interested in finding ways to use it but when if I’m writing code I really like the spectrum of different answers on stack overflow with comment’s on WHY they did it that way. Might use it for boring emails though.
