is he still use that office? I thought he mostly spent his time in his home office

Looks like a recent move or temporary office. Box of random items, basic paper name “plate,” stacks on the desk …

Nice that he has a slide rule on the desk (under the front basket) looks like a K&E Deci-Lon case.

That’s like every professors office

I'd like to know too

Thank you for posting, this is game changer, I have quite an old phone and this keyboard help me use it less unbearable

I'm a full-stack developer with 10+ years of experience. Mostly I've done work in early stage startup building the MVP, from setting up the infra to mobile apps, I'm not picky on tech stack I'll use whatever stacks the client wants.

I'm looking to any kind of employment that can relocate me and my family to Australia.

I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. My monthly living expenses (adjusted from IDR to USD on current rate)

1. Apartment rent, 6 months contract at $1300 + $200 deposit, pay upfront, thus $250 monthly. It is a small apartment 1 common area, 2 tiny bedroom, and tiny balcony

2. Utilities, varying from $30 to $50, mine has 2 AC running almost 24/7, a PC with average 200 to 300 watt power draw, and 5 led light bulbs

3. Meals, 3 times a day for 1 person, $20 daily or $600 monthly (this amount considered fancy meal, you can get way cheaper meals like $2/each, way cheaper if you cook)

4. Internet, up to 100 mbps, $35 monthly. Internet quality like speed and stability will depend on area

5. Phone data, $7 monthly

6. Cigarette, I'm a heavy smoker (almost 2 packs a day), $4 daily thus $120 monthly

In total: ~$1050 I don't count for entertainment, transportation (people mostly use Gojek or Grab), subscription

Experience living in Jakarta from native perspective.

- Language barrier, most people can talk in English, although not that fluent, hand gestures give you more power than talk

- Poor pedestrian side road, if you like to walk

- City full of concretes, green park almost non existent

- Bad air quality

- Noisy if your resident near big road or high way

- Covid-19 related situation, Jakarta not the worse but people here tend to not care about this

Alternative to Jakarta, I would recommend.

- Bandung, cheaper living cost, small city, good air quality on most part, had lived there for 2 years

- Bali, foreigner friendly, especially Ubud area for extra nature scenery, I don't recommend Denpasar

Let me know if you have any question (email on my profile), as a fellow game dev I admire your dedication

Thanks for your response.

The rat race can wait , I think 6 months focused on game dev will get my game to where I need it to be. And if not, at least I had some fun.

Any big cultural shocks.

Can't say much about culture shocks, Indonesian myself, but from my european friend who live in Jakarta for almost a year now said "people just late everywhere"

Know any merchant who sells Dylos DC1700? I'm in Jakarta too, kinda hard to find these kind of hardware

Sorry I don't know anyone who sells in Jakarta. I purchased it on Amazon.com and used the myus.com service to forward it to me. It's expensive but worth it for my health.

Is there a place where I can get information about the MERV rating of certain HEPA filter products?

MERV info: http://www.mechreps.com/PDF/Merv_Rating_Chart.pdf

Is it good to redirect to https when user hit API with http? I have heard somewhere doing so is bad

Nop.. it isn't good, secure endpoints for API's shouldn't be exposed in plain, an error should be raised when a developer/app tries to contact via HTTP rather than HTTPs.

Is 404 sufficient?

Depends on your choice, personally i would choose between 410 or 501 but whatever you choose, just don't allow an implicit redirect with any of the 301/302 codes.

Correct me if I am wrong but even with https redirect, POST request will fail though.

Purely curious, what if that happen? 100% proprietary, will it do damage to any alternative language that use JVM?

I can agree on this, the booster was super key to show all window, I've never been this fast to context switch between window.

Yeah exactly. And super to start apps. Find documents. Its all just a super away

Xfce, kde (possibly unity, maybe enlightenment) can do the former. Dmenu (probably unity, kde, other standalone programs) and enlightenment can do the latter (Enlightenments Everything launcher is amazing).

windows has this feature where you hold alt after alt-tab and then click on the respective window icon instead of using arrow keys to navigate

i want to bring this to lxde someday
