Try and make a new folder and drag a chat into it. Web works, desktop doesn’t. Try to copy paste deep-research json via the copy button they provide. Web copies json, desktop includes attribution links from the ui that breaks json parsing. It’s not easy to make a desktop app worse than the web, especially when you have that much money to spend, but it’s clearly possible
I no longer work much in the ruby world, but when I did I would run into libraries by @ankane on almost a weekly basis. Prolific, and covering a bunch of academic fields and languages. It felt a bit like every area I became interested in, he was already out on the edge.
> The reason so few people acquire Japanese citizenship is not because of the difficulty doing so, but because it offers little in terms of tangible benefits beyond those already acquired by virtue of having permanent residency status.
This. I've been in Japan for 15 years, and have permanent residency. Citizenship would basically only grant me the right to vote for (or against, I guess) the party that has been in power almost uninterrupted since the 50s. In exchange for that, I would have to give up 3 other citizenships. Not a great deal...

Obligatory IANAL, but the "no dual citizenship" thing is a Japanese thing and it's not like the Japanese government will go around informing other countries of your new citizenship status. You would have to make the rounds yourself informing the governments concerned you renounced their respective citizenship.
Which is to say: I'm an American, if I went and got Japanese citizenship then the Japanese government won't care to inform the US government about the proceedings, nor will the US government care even if I personally tell them because the US government permits dual citizenship. Japan would care about my holding dual American citizenship, but again: They wouldn't care to inform their American counterparts.
> You would have to make the rounds yourself informing the governments concerned you renounced their respective citizenship.
The Japanese government requires that you have renounced your other citizenship(s) as a condition for acquiring Japanese citizenship [1, item 5, in Japanese]. I know a number of people who have taken Japanese citizenship, and they all had to go through a formal citizenship-renouncing process at the embassies of their previous countries of citizenship.
Exceptions seem to be made only in cases in which the applicant, for some reason, cannot renounce a previous citizenship.
The Japanese government, however, doesn't go around checking other countries' citizenship lists (nobody does). I know of several Japanese citizens who accrued other nationalities but never informed the japanese government. Obviously they'd be stripped of their JP rights if it emerged, but until then...
I'd expect them to ask for this only to the non-Japanese-looking, or people who acquired citizenship after birth so might be in some particular database. I have a friend who goes back to Japan fairly regularly and afaik they were never asked as such when entering with her Japanese passport.
I heard of an interesting case. A red-haired friend of mine who was born in Russia and, after living in Japan for many years, took Japanese citizenship was detained and questioned when trying to enter Canada on her Japanese passport. The Canadian immigration authorities were suspicious because she didn't look Japanese to them.
She said that she has never had any trouble entering Japan on her Japanese passport.
This is my point. Japanese people can have multiple citizenships but in order for a foreigner to gain Japanese citizenship, they must renounce at least one of their other citizenships to fulfil the "single citizenship" criteria.
That article: Yawn. Couldn't care less about what it has to say.
I'm interested in Japanese houses because I want to live in it like a regular human being, for today. I'm not inerested in buying a house in San Jose because I have moral and ethical beliefs against propping up the housing-as-an-investment industry as if I'm some kind of investor.
Such a good soundtrack. If you aren’t already aware, Rick Smith and Danny Boyle have done some great things elsewhere too. Trance’s soundtrack is excellent, the London 2012 opening ceremony music was wonderfully composed and curated, and it all got me into Underworld who have been around for decades with some great hits.
Lucky the Sunshine soundtrack got released. It got tied up in copyright disputes I think and only came out 2(?) years after the film.
This is excellent. It found a $350 flight from Tokyo to Sydney via a short stop in Fiji, which is not an option I even knew existed (I'd normally consider $6~700 to be cheap).
Great idea - I hadn't thought of diff. I'll have to have a think about how it might fit into the UI, since there's only one input box. Any ideas on what a good input flow might look like?
Looking at it again, string diff could probably just be a new mode. Since you already have the two input boxes on the left and right of them. Somehow reusing them to work as a diff? I'll make GH issue with a possible design
I'm wary of using closed-source online string formatters and converters, so I've been working on https://string.is/ as a safe, open-source alternative. I had a couple of goals when building it:
1. It should be open-source.
2. It should not set any cookies.
3. It should have a strict Content Security Policy.
4. It should be opinionated about dependancies, and only use well-known, well-supported libraries.
5. It should try to detect the format of the input, and intelligently choose output options.
The last point in particular I feel is an improvement on most existing services - paste in some text and it will try to auto-detect the format and convert it accordingly (although admittedly detection of some formats is a bit primitive currently).
It's built with TypeScript + Next.js. In addition to the hosted version, the GitHub README has one-click install buttons for Vercel and Heroku, plus Docker images.
There are a couple of other tools in this space if you're interested in alternatives:
