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.

On the build of Windows 11 I’m using PrintScr has been replaced with the snipping style screenshot tool (used to be Shift+Win+S) instead of the fullscreen screenshot like before.

Good. I hope we figure this out soon!

These are all strategies that have already been adopted in China, they will block it like everything else.

Why not use the English word for an entity that resides in the USA: American?

That is some fantastic sleuthing, well done.

The impact as of right now is that everyone thinks they’re being absolute assholes about it.

If it’s a small but loud group of unpleasant people on the internet, can’t we just do what we’ve always done and ignore them?

According to China’s Coast Guard, Manila’s ship had deliberately and dangerously approached a Chinese vessel in an unprofessional manner, forcing it to take control measures, including “boarding inspections and forced evictions.”

Oh no! An inflatable boat has approached our large, well equipped vessel! Quickly, we must forcefully board this boat even though it is “dangerous and deliberate,” and chop off their fingers! Then we will puncture their boat with our swords, that will show them!

I always buy Christmas cake after Christmas, it’s a steal.

To give them the benefit of the doubt, perhaps they are trying to stay neutral by publishing articles from various points of view, including the CCP’s.

I had to double check when reading the article that this was indeed published by the Economist, particularly after this line:

As a private firm whose goals dovetail neatly with those of the Chinese government, it is becoming a model for how China thinks about innovation.

How do they know this, besides perhaps an official from the CCP making a statement about it?

The current version of the OS has been built with open-source Android code to make Android apps compatible for the time being. It is designed to be used in all Huawei’s consumer products, including watches, televisions and vehicle systems, which makes it possible to integrate functions across devices. It is said to have 700m users and 2.2m developers.

The next version of Harmony is expected to drop all Android-linked code.

Harmony OS is an Android fork. Dropping all Android-linked code in an Android fork means removing almost all its code. I’m curious to know if Huawei have indeed developed their own OS, like Samsung’s Bada, and if it really contains no trace of Android.
