In Japanese there is no distinction between kanji and hanzi, they are the same thing, and written equally - 漢字.

In English, it would be most appropriate to call Chinese language characters hanzi, and Japanese language characters kanji, but this is an English distinction, not one in the native tongues that use these characters.

As the author of these drawings is Japanese, the correct term would be “kanji”, but the word “kanji” literally means “Chinese character”.

I am a Japanese person. I don’t see your point.

Why do you think so?

But in this specific case, it is a Chinese character (because that’s what kanji is, and that’s what the word kanji means), and the character is actually kanji, since it was written by a Japanese author.

Considering Hokusai was Japanese, the descriptions are probably written in Kanji. The word “kanji” itself means Chinese character, so I wonder what exactly is your point?

Japan has some really impressive universities and, as a rich country, is able to nurture all sorts of talent.

The Japanese ruling party is a bunch of old people from a few traditional families mixed with some new faces.

It’s very unfortunate how little these two worlds (talented people and politicians) collide.

For a moment there you had me wondering why the post office was delivering canned meat.

Absolutely, but that process is absolutely not data driven.

“Feeling” about a show, and connections to the people running are the two major factors driving those decisions.

Data driven shows tend to be forgettable and ignored by newer generations, who are the ones holding their parents’s credit cards, and therefore, a major audience for hit shows.

And as soon as they got data involved, the plot quality decreased immensely. By season 3, most people had given up on the show already.

Apple, Quibi, Amazon are trying to plan the perfect breakout show.

It doesn’t work like that. A lot of the networks’s and Netflix’s breakout shows were not planned to be great. That’s why they just greenlight a bunch of random pilots and see what sticks to the wall.

It’s extremely hard to create hits.

At some point, the EU has to see a pattern of degradation and corruption, and start engaging actively with the people of the countries, instead of just expecting places such as Bulgaria and Romania to wake up and decide to be rich and developed out of nowhere.

Your kind of party, unfortunately, is not the most common kind of party.

The most common kind of party is littered with brands - clothing, cars, purses, phones, jewelry, acessories, make up...

Smack in the middle of Nogecho, one of the coolest nightlife areas I’ve ever seen.

The problem is that a developer doesn’t really understand the business complexities and nuances - he studied computers, not business.

I feel there is a gap to be crossed, and settling into a common language and common communication practices are ways to bridge it, but I could never say I understand the business.

I get some basics. We have lots of areas, we need workflows, we design parts, then make them, then sell them. But I certainly don’t have enough knowledge to really understand it.

That’s the reason why some games keep going in and out of Steam. Especially console ports such as Alan Wake.

Considering Xbox360 used a PowerPC CPU, some emulation had to be done.

Not sure about the Xbox One - it might be just a different aspect on the hypervisor.

Microsoft already has a pretty sophisticated Xbox emulator, deployed to both Xbox360 and XboxOne.

I disagree. It was impossible for me to just learn words, because kanji made no sense to me.

After RTK, I created ways to mentally breakdown and identify the characters. Then, suddenly, I was able to learn words much faster too - instead of struggling with “well this one has this curve here and then it points there and it means that”, reading became automatic, and I could focus on the word itself.

I understand your frustration, but it seems clear to me that there is difference in what you consider high level technical skills, and what others might perceive as such.

In a highly paid position, both selling yourself and your ideas, and smoothing out differences such as this one, are expected from the employee.

While I believe that with your experience, you have accomplished a high degree of strong delivery... You still need to be able to manage this whole dealing with people thing. Because that’s why you get paid a high salary, to get any issues out of the way in a skilled manner.

It’s an amazing product.

I cannot afford the price tag. I wonder how many more people would buy it if it was just a little bit cheaper.

Both forms are correct, but proved is more prevalent in recent style guides.

As one who is intimate with spelling should know, English has no unified body of spelling, grammar, or rules at all, therefore it’s very hard to say that one’s spelling is particularly incorrect.

That’s not what was said either.

They said that .NET and Azure, two separate things, are very well managed. OP did not imply any correlation between the two of them.
