One of the maps in Yoot Tower is Kegon Falls. When I moved to Japan I found out it was a real place. Just took another day trip up there last month. Of course IRL it’s just an elevator but the view each season is amazing.

In Tokyo there can be one stairwell, and then the balconies have foldable ladders in their floors. How about that?

One of the Daikin models for Japan apartments/condos (known as mansions) has a tankless humidifier; it is able to condensate humidity from outdoor air and introduce it into the home. On a cold winter day it is able to raise the relative humidity from around 30% to about 45% or so. うるるとさらら is the name of their series of things that humidify.

Can the git repo that the terraform config lives inside of serve as state? For example, one commit ago this part of config was there and now it’s gone, showing temporal intent that it should be deleted in real life as well?

Exciting!

I live in Japan but prefer to read in English. However it seems your iPhone app is not available in Japan? Any plans to also provide your service inside Japan as well?

It seems DAW means digital audio workstation.

Japan's banks have a similar system, based on half-width katakana. Fortunately most banks can fetch the name from each other, but sometimes transfers fail due to issues similar to those found in this article.
