  1. As an American living in Japan, let me tell you, along with safety, healthcare is phenomenal and affordable.

  2. Please interview more people by demographics. Not just nearby but by age or kind of job or hobbies or whatever and go to different parts of Japan with it. Soooo many combinations and questions you can ask people. Keep the great work going and enjoy your trip.

  4. Always good to see the brief glimpses of real humanity you share.

  5. Next idea… interview some fudosan and property owners about foreigner tenants. I am sure many would like to know why foreigners get turned down even if they have money. Real estate agents and owners might also have interesting insights and questions!

  6.  @svampebob007  you do not seem to get the point of a focused tutorial. the point is not trying to prove how much you think you know or the fastest solution or anything like that. it is to cut out the things that might distract from the main topic and teach something focused and isolated.

  7. I grew up in central Texas and in the span from my early childhood in the 1970s to now, I witnessed the encroachment of light pollution and lost a wonderful night sky full of stars. Now I live in Tokyo which is actually doing better than there but still has no stars

  8. It’d be great to see more about setting up the Real Time Clock with that battery connector along with booting to NVmE and/or MMC. After that, it would be fabulous to see an example of USING the USB OTG feature. I think those features are a little more challenging but offer much more rewarding overall usage for turning this SBC into a project. For the OTG feature, an interesting starting point might be as a fake keyboard or as a keyboard translator, translating a keyboard’s key codes to another set of keycodes. (Such as taking a a PC keyboard and making it work for a Mac but the Pi being a smart configurable intermediary)

  9. Yeah. High five for calling out poseurs for misrepresenting things.

  10. Thanks for making this video. Especially thanks for not using a giant mostly empty frame to sow what amounts to text. So many people make those and they’re damn hard to watch without full screen on a desktop. This was watchable ON MY PHONE!!! Awesome.

  11. Thank you for once again making small screen friendly videos.

  12. Python is not a C derivative as much as Algol.

  13. Like all highly customizable tools, customization is the first thing everybody does and it is a trap when you try to port your config around to other machines and recreate it. Learn all the defaults and out-of-box minimalism.

  14. Goodness I appreciate videos that do not do the classic social media divisiveness approach. It’s OK to be fucking different !!!! (I love the fact that people ARE not all the same. If we were it would be like the link layer of networking)

  15. Interesting perspectives. Definitely agree 101% that if you are a hard worker and positive you can make it.

  20. You look like a Linux nerd Palpatine without the dark side. You have nice content, but you need more cadence.

  21. They ARE multi user!!!! Unix-like systems have lots of system accounts that are also signed in and own things.

  22. Far too USA centric. The mobile device makers and network equipment makers and software all happened far more internationally than just the USA
    4
  23. Once again you missed a lot and flubbed a bit. You kind of glossed over the rather diverse 8bit era in Japan. Then you totally missed the MSX stuff. Finally, it is rather wrong to imply that Japanese writing was the reason for anyone not making it in the 8bit market. At that time, most software was kana only and often half width katakana only. Also the Japan market had dedicated word processor systems far longer and more ubiquitously than anywhere else.

  24. You just described Cucumber. And COBOL. Doesn’t work. Rube Goldberg way to write software that appeals to businessmen but doesn’t do it.

  25. It will take time. It will also reveal a lot about how shells work. If you are a NeXT or OS X user, the text system will be surprisingly familiar. The key chording is fascinating, but sometimes frustrating when you have to deal with the rest of the OS whatever OS it is...

  28. When you’re running on SBC like Raspberry Pi the Chromium and FF browsers are too much. Epiphany is a blessing there.
    4
  29. Software is always bit limited with these ARM SBCs and the size limitations are apparent here. Physics, man. The thermals are going to catch you out and require that honking big heat sink, defeating the size angle totally with those specs. Just get a RaspberryPI 3 B+ for that price, with better therms.

  36. Theming should work most of the time if the design and the toolkits’ layout mechanisms can properly accommodate. There will never be a one-size-fits-all but the distros are right to try and present unified design language to users to reduce cognitive dissonance.

  37. Thank you. More of us need to be reminded that it is not ok for the USA to do as it wills with impunity.

  38. Fish is great until you run a tool that wants posix sh compliance or a tool that thinks bash is the only thing

  39. Print the cheat sheet it is bundled with and tape it to the wall nearby. After a few months of trying a little while every day, it will begin to sink in and take over your mind. Especially dired

  43. US carriers barely hold a candle to the data rates in many other countries. iPhone’s biggest carriers were in China before even officially being launched there. Japan’s major carriers went through an incredible price war until the Japanese government stepped in and made them compete for retention instead of constant race to the bottom pricing. Singapore carriers competed well through effective services bundling. In the end, mobile device makers paved over all the real deltas with further and further developed base band and antenna capabilities. These days only the spectrum and physical network topologies remain major barriers with the weaker US networks requiring different antenna tuning than most other markets.

  62. Honestly, dired alone will ultimately make you not want to use a shell or just want to use emacs from the shell.

  63. Thanks for zooming the text! Made table viewing feasible.
    2
  64. I don’t know. You really rambled about it and almost said it. The key distinction is really that GUIs tend to be built around an almost endless event loop and command line tools tend to use those only for specific inputs resulting in a chain of simpler event loops.
    2
  65. What horse shit. Python can get you a job, but not just Python by itself, it’s a tool. You absolutely should know C and probably another few languages.

  66. Another interesting angle

  72. I like a lot of what you share, but it would be great if there was a more concerted effort towards legibility on mobile devices. Zoom in or increase font size more. Also don’t say “here” so much indicating we should be looking at where your cursor or selection is, rather speak / read what it is we should look to. Cheers.

  75. Hi Chris, wonderful wonderful episode. Only suggestion is to always use a virtual environment with Python projects so as to only install packages for that project. Something like <<< python -m pip venv . >>> without the 3 left and 3 right angle brackets should create a virtual environment in the current directory and then <<< venv/bin/activate >>> also without the 3 left and 3 right angle brackets should activate it in that directory in that terminal session. From there you can pip install and any conflicts with packages and package versions would be limited to the project in that directory. Of course one needs to remember to activate the virtual environment before running the project.

  94. Honestly, the most annoying thing is the littering of directories with Emacs’ tilde prefixed temp file copies of everything you edit. It’s probably a good thing and it keeps it visible rather than hidden.

  97. NICELY DONE !!! egrep -c to get a number instead of a line of text is way more useful to pass on most of the time. If you want the text you can still get it but…

  126. I think it’s a fine effort, the installer and the hexagon software center are nice touches, but the overall attention is clear. None of this is without effort, so people should not be so quickly dismissive. All distros start somewhere. Even Slackware started as barely a step beyond something else.

  140.  @VeronicaExplains  oh right. There are these wonderful pocket wifi devices that do that. But so can phones… not sure how horrible rates are for those things in US markets these days. I prefers the discrete devices ( like separate printers and scanners kind of isolate the failure points ) but my employer EOLd our pocket wifi and told us to tether with phones and I was like… sure I can run up your bill.

  156. Unfortunately you miss all the awesome geography here! Awesome amount of annual rainfall. Green things grow fast. Fresh water is abundant. Timber. Lots of it and it grows fast! Lots of mountains, which helps give lots of rain, and ski resorts (though global warming is cramping that a bit). Geothermal stuff like awesome hot springs. I could go on but it’s not all bad is the point.

  160. Cheers to you. I started watching YouTube consistently because your channel, still my favorite. The batty banter with locals and the same appreciation and fascination with CCCP stuff and state cavalier approach to lazy language learning. ❤ You blew my mind first with your kindness to the isolated old randos in Ukraine and Russia then COVID next with jail in Russia and then the madness of the Darien Gap. 🎉🎉🎉 Ben you’re an angel of a man. Babushkas the world over await your charms or your shawarma.

  161. Until these things can ship with more RAM 16GB at least) or expandable RAM, I just do not care any more. The mini Intel and AMD powered computers offer much more bang for the buck and not stuffed into a shitty keyboard. I really miss the wedge form 8bit computers of the 80s but it would be nice if someone sold a decent spec’d computer inside a decent keyboard as well.
