I did Paris - London by Eurostar. The security and border control part is as annoying as flying. Actually it’s even worse since they check all your luggage. If you fly at least they only check handluggage. Ride was great however.
I'm on a cultural visa and am learning a martial art under the guidance of a teacher. I pay taxes in the origin country, but it's not optimal. If you have enough money, found a company, then you won't have any problems and can renew easily.
I can imagine difficulties that happen regularly in those teams not appearing, since remote work probably attracts more internationally minded people with fluent english.
I've had to work with a french dev that only wanted to write emails in english and refused to speak it on the phone, maybe because his office mates could listen.
A francophone boss that was so overconfident in his english ability, that he considered using "yeah" instead of "yes" as rude.
Happened to me too with my 2011 macbook air and my 2010 macbok pro 15' when using the 2 prong adapter at home in Europe.
Currently typing this on a 13'' late 2014 13'' MBP with 2 prongs in Japan. No problems.
I live in Japan, and while mobile hotspots are popular for airbnbs and tourists, I don't think most people have them here. Also, there are mobile hotspots with unlimited data.
The rest of the country has unlimited fiber at home, so it's especially those people that want their youtube and facebook videos to autoplay.
I see the point tough. It's bad on a limited wifi hotspot
I used this to make my own webshop software for a client. Lots of ajax features but only 80 lines of javascript in total. Intercooler is great to update the shopping cart in the sidebar when pressing the add to cart button. This makes the shop feel a lot smoother.
ADD Programmer here. I've been very productive offline. I would like to work offline more, but since I mostly do web development, thats is really hard.
I recommend everyone who's visiting Tokyo to take a trip to Enoshima and use the Shonan Line to get there. Enoshima is a scenic tiny island and there's a long beach. Great in summer, when there are firework festivals.
Japan also has some great non-suspended monorails. For example the one in Kitakyushu (I love the station architecture) or the one in Naha, Okinawa.
I don`t know. I played ingress and it was very headache and vertigo inducing. Any game that you need to look down at your phone for an extended time and walk around. Feels like a bad idea.
Or just too early, because it would need a heads up display like Google Glass to be sucessful.
... and also as someone who makes websites for owners of small business, having something simple is paramount. Joomla is too complicated because it does too much. Wordpress is great as blog software but not created as a cms. They need a page editor, an easy way to add something to a menu and maybe some custom dbfields like imagelists, filelist so you can output these separately in the template.
Wow, seriously? A single meal can cost 30 bucks. As a software engineer I'm offended that people don't want to pay the price of a single meal for something that provides a lot more value.
I won't buy it, because I already have a good toolset, but it seems like a good solution.
Cool, been looking for one. thanks!
I've also considered working from internet cafes, but if a coworking space is cheaper, it would make sense to go to one.
