Same. I've personally never had issues with any auth packages, granted I've never used auth0. Personally, they all seem quite similar, especially in the react world.

Anything that can help me utilize oauth standards is fine to me.

Doctests are great aren't they?

Here in Japan, we have a elixir nerves group. It isn't too active, but have made some stuff.

and... we're back, at least in Japan region

these things could happen anywhere though. Gitlab also `rm -rf`ed before remember

Curious, what about using Proxies for handling state?

I've started my nerves journey w/ my (older) raspberry pi 3. It's my first time working on anything IoT, but I have to say how easy it was to start. Currently have a few sensors attached (is this the proper term?), and I was amazed at how easily you can update the firmware w/ mix upload or just burning it.

If you want to create your own design systems / UI components and want to have a simple place to show that without any actual apps running ( or as some have mentioned, without any data - related logic ), Storybook makes this easy and clean. You can build it right off from your actual application.

The company I work for uses it for frontend devs (who are mostly freelance) to understand the feel of the UI designs and how the components should be built/used.

You can see lots of showcases here: https://storybook.js.org/showcase

I'm less worried about how large corps will use my info in the long run vs how myself should develop and learn over time. 'Productivity vs learning and in my own way' was the way I was looking at it. I suppose they aren't mutually exclusive though!

You're right, I guess trying it out won't hurt especially if it can bring up my productivity!

understandably types are great, but the projects I've worked in got along just fine using specs and dialyzer's success typing. of course sometimes it can get messy like in macros etc.

I feel like you shouldn't be near it when testing industrial robots / automated machinery, especially when they noted potential sensor issues. Definitely was avoidable and it's very sad for the man's family/friends.

don't know why, but recent teams around me have always made strict rules about number of commits in PRs. I just wanted to tell them the same thing you said: "Why don't you just look at the diffs?" curious for other opinions. (sorry not really about this particular topic)

It's PayPay country now.

You can go to some of the most remote places and they'll accept paypay lol

JP Post (one of the major postal companies) used to be a government entity. Now, it's a private business with the government having a much less share and less responsibility.

Similar to the railway companies. It's interesting how these things just work out either way in Japan.

Another note: If you forget something from a hotel in 1 place, you can always have them send it to where you are going too (着払い; payment-at-arrival).

Sometimes, it's hard to find legitimate complaints when living in Japan.

I don't think it's okay to generalize the entire population off one video; however, I just asked my wife about this, and she said the same thing as the interviewees: "Paying for sex isn't cheating".

"Why?" "There's no love involved"

What is HN's take?

Regardless of industry, some companies have services for helping you find an apartment, others will have apartments specifically for relocation purposes. Specific to IT, I've never heard a company offering the same things. Some will fly you out. Finding an apartment isn't too difficult although you can only look at the "foreigner list" of apartments.

Regarding tax, it doesn't change. There aren't any breaks nor special levees for foreigners/people with just a work-visa. You get taxed the same (you can even participate in ふるさと納税 [furusato-nōzei] which is a system where you can decide to pay a certain amount to a different prefecture for tax deductions the following year + a gift from the prefecture that you can pick. The gifts are the best part; you can get high grade Japanese beef, high quality fruits, etc).

I got my current employment being introduced by someone inside. I found my previous company via job website, here are two that I find most helpful:

Obtaining residence: my current visa is (quite long): "Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/ Int'l Services" (技術・人文知識・国際業務) I got this visa sponsored by my first company, which is the most common thing for foreigners. Mine is 5 years, some are just a year long. It all depends on the company and how they file your paperwork.

I don't have permanent residency. I could switch over to spousal visa, but since I still have a lot of time left with my visa, I'm not going to bother the bureaucracy. Also, getting residency isn't as easy; it's like a point system here: how long you've been working, if you went to school in Japan, JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), etc.

Guarantor is only necessary for renting apartments (from my experience).

As a foreigner quite integrated into Japan (living here for over 5 years, married to Japanese, working at a Japanese company), I have also succumbed to 建前 (Tatemae; 'built in front', going around what's 'built in front'. around the bush?). 本音 (Honne; 'real sound') is just what people do in the West (speak their true thoughts), but not so much in Japan. As the article mentioned, people you (at long last) become more than 知り合い (shiriai; common acquaintances) or people with power will often speak abruptly (as 本音 is felt as such). Even so, it took my wife a bit of training to break out of her shell. Now, she can cuss me out in English without hesitation :)

建前 (I'd even consider it brown-nosing sometimes) is something I think that bugs many foreigners living in Japan, as it does me because it's done so commonplace here. I'm starting to do it (unknowingly, but probably from positive-feedback) just for the amount of gregariousness it brings. I would even go further to say that Japanese language it self is blemished in 建前 because of the culture's apprehension towards conflict and directness.

My mere observation. I had a morning meeting today, and found myself mouth full of 建前.

I think this is big. I still try to be humble and consider myself to be nothing higher than a novice. When I do see things that I can quickly understand and even improve on, it's a huge boost to my morale.

love it

Though not considered ORM, I enjoy using Ecto (elixir).

I feel ya. It's definitely difficult to find work. I've started to focus a lot more on my own elixir projects than my current employment since they have zero interest.

> non-Japanese ghetto...

Yes, they do. It's called Shibuya / Shinjuku, lol I'd say if you have a partner who's Japanese, and you're lazy af, you don't need to learn the language. Most foreigners I've met in Tokyo stick to their groups as well and usually end up complaining about Japan and the bureaucracy (mostly because they can't read or write to save their lives).

> Have things changed since then?

I think the biggest change is the Japanese opting to use more ひらがな（hiragana）/ カタカナ (katakana) in the news, signs, and every day messages (subtitles / ふりがな [furigana]). This is highly welcomed in my opinion. I think it's the right way to teach all people how to read.

I must say though, companies like HENNGE is quite special, and I root for more companies that try to welcome changes. Although there are only a handful of foreigners in my current employment (including myself), we try to slowly include English in our stand-ups / other small-informal meetings.

It isn't the case where every other person you know is a 'ghost', but yeah it does happen (similar to 引きこもり: hikikomori, a person who lock themselves away from society).

The main thing is that Eastern cultures is all about community (especially so in such a homogenous culture like Japan or Korea where everything is uniform). It can be quite distressful when you feel like an outsider for a group that initially felt like 'home'.

LOL, I'm laughing but trying to take this seriously as a person working in Japan and already quit working for 2 Japanese companies.

I'm afraid it's just the way Japanese do things with regards to their career. It's not unusual for a person to feel that a company is family, especially new-grads. it's even funnier as a foreigner the words: 組織 (soshiki: organization, usually about the company), and 葬式 (sōshiki: funeral). Pun intended ey

Japanese... そうですね（soudesune | "riiighhtt....） it never means a thing related to the subject.
