Let's meet then Oct 18th, 7pm, at https://www.falafelbrothers.jp in Shibuya.

@codewiz @benoit
Oh right, Falafelbrothers is also in Ebisu.. we could go there for food, and if the beer choices are bad go to yonayonabeerworks.com .

As for calendar, I use a simple text file ala
10 16 19:30 Meet for falafel and beer
10 17 Do this and that
~~

@codewiz
Dude! I was expecting all, but not that you come to Japan to eat Italian style :) Would work for me though.
恵比寿横丁 (Ebisu Youkochou) looks good, worth trying out.
The restaurant I very much recommend for lunch in Ebisu area is https://www.totoya-ebisu.com/ .
@benoit Shinagawa or Gotanda would be halfway good for you, IIRC you come from South, Kawasaki or such?

@benoit @codewiz
Hm.. maybe then "SCHMATZ Shibuya PARCO" in Shibuya, which is a directly on Shibuya/Dentoshi line, or http://ebisu-yokocho.com/ in Ebisu.

@benoit @codewiz
Fair point.
I was going to throw in https://yonayonabeerworks.com in Ebisu, but almost no vegetarian things there. Maybe we should go to https://www.falafelbrothers.jp in Shibuya - looks like good vegy menu, and some beer options.

@codewiz @benoit
For evening, maybe on one of 17/18/19? Which areas are best reachable for both of you, Shibuya/Shinjuku/Shinagawa etc.?
If you are in Ebisu area around lunch, there is an especially nice restaurant there. Only open on workdays.

Matcha beer is available in Asakusa.. but to be honest, when available, I will stick to Weizen ;)

As I'm a resident in Japan, my mum got a visa and will be in Tokyo for 2 weeks, starting today. A typhoon is coming up, looks like it will also hit Tokyo in a few days - so she is getting the full Japan experience ;)

@codewiz #8bitguy made a nice video on the Roland MT-32.. fascinating device, probably best you could get at that time:

@codewiz
Not bad, my search had not brought that up..
@benoit

@codewiz
That maybe yes, they mention emoji so they test unicode to some degree, but input framework systems like ibus/fcitx are more obscure and not default features.
@benoit

@codewiz Not seeing #i18n or unicode mentioned with a terminal emulator makes me slowly walk back.. need Japanese input all day, mostly in mutt, vim and irssi.
@benoit

@codewiz What are you actually most in contact with, working around sensor data on space related requipment? Fast but error prone C, or something higher which is protecting more from overflows but has a tendency to be slower?

Looking at our RHEL distro, I basically still see the 2 movements: C/asm for the kernel, and Python and other higher things for areas where ease of maintennance and being protected from pitfalls like overflows is more important.

Gotta love #japanese captchas, they are also good for learning the language!
I was hitting this buying tickets for the Ghibli museum:
"take the fish and put it in the box on the right"

Went to the parasite museum in Tokyo on Saturday to see this tapeworm and other pieces. According to this tv report, Bill Gates went there too, 2 days later.

Let's see if this works as well as on birdsite :

@codewiz You have one row less than me, so Fn is more important.. for the bottom row I settled with crtl, ctrl, super, alt, space^2, alt, Fn, ctrl.
Almost never using Fn.

@codewiz The launch lite without the row with F-keys would make things very hard here, I switch with [mod]+[F-something] all the time to other virtual screens in the sway window manager.
