Wasn't sure I'd listen to this whole thing but half way threw it starts to really get weird. Damn, kind of feel bad for her...it most be hell working for Elon.

She's even sighted in the wikipedia article "In 2023, Linda Yaccarino was appointed as the CEO of Twitter while the company was facing an uncertain future and a number of challenges, including outages, user discontent and advertiser skepticism. The company lost more than half of its value since its acquisition by Elon Musk six months prior."

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

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".

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.

It's not as refined as reddit but the content is better and the community can improve the UI/UX over time... At first it was a little awkward for me coming from reddit but it didn't take long for me to adjust and the diversity of people and ideas I've found on here is well worth it.

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.
