This is optimistic and I hope they succeed, because every time I read an article about nuclear fusion it's always 5 to 10 years away, and I feel like I've been reading articles about nuclear fusion for the better part of 2 decades.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Japan

Some Japanese scholars have pointed out that Japanese immigration laws, at least toward high-skilled migrants, are relatively lenient compared to other developed countries, and that the main factor behind its low migrant inflows is because it is a highly unattractive migrant destination compared to other developed countries.

Yet in spite of this, the number of foreign residents in Japan in recent years is very high.

From the article itself:

However, the number of foreign workers in Japan reached a record high of 2,048,675 in 2023. This represents an increase of 225,950 over the past year, and is the first time that the figure has exceeded 2 million.

These foreigners benefit from visa systems introduced in recent years to attract experienced workers or those in need of training. Created in 2019, the status of "specified skilled worker" is accessible to people with skills in one of 12 defined economic sectors, including health, construction and agriculture.

In 2023, the "Highly skilled professional" visa (J-Skip) was created, aimed at researchers or senior executives whose annual salary exceeds 20 million yen (€121,000); as was the "Future creation individual" visa (J-Find), which enables graduates of 104 top universities – including France's Paris-Saclay and Sorbonne Université – to obtain a long-term visa if they want to start a business or find a job.

This doesn't sound low skilled to me. Also, the record high number of foreign workers surely means that they are, in fact, increasing immigration?

Edit: it looks like you changed your article. This is the article that was originally linked, and which I am referring to, to prevent reader confusion: https://archive.li/cefT3

I've heard this said about Japan on Lemmy more than once. Is there a source for the sentiment?

Manage Technical Debt: Focus on minimizing immediate blockers and plan for potential future issues.

This is a tough one the bigger the project gets. Might be the toughest one.

A single play session isn't actually all that long, as others have said. It's about 25-50 minutes depending on how familiar you are with the monster. You also don't have to interact with all the systems at once initially, pick one thing and try it out. There's no real penalty for failing besides having to re-do the mission that you failed.

Yes, this is incredibly annoying and it's also the reason why some USB cables cost more than others, even they may look the same superficially.

Since they have competitive online multiplayer an anti-cheat is needed, otherwise the MP turns into a hellhole of cheaters. As much as I wish that this wasn't the case.
