Just came back from Korea and they have ads running on trains that claims about their authority over the said islands since centuries ago and the Japanese illicitly used the island as their naval base in 1905.
You're thinking of the live representation of the "model" of a brush in the program. I'm talking about the "definition" of a brush, from which the program loads that model. Another example would be, say, a "level" in an HTML5 game. These things ship alongside the game as blobs of data. Those blobs need a format that the browser can parse. Currently, JSON is that format, and it's inadequate for that.
As far as the name Sriracha hot sauce is concerned, that is actually the original original. They used to bottled it differently but have changed to this squeeze bottle just recently, probably to compete with the rooster brand.
Apart from having Latin-like script I don't think there is much similarity between English and Vietnamese.
Either way, isn't Japan also famous for its engineering prowess? I doubt that country with such high engineering competency will lack talent for web development simply because of the language barrier (if there is actually the lack of talent at all). I'm not saying language barrier doesn't exist but if language barrier didn't prevent them from having companies like Konami, Square Enix, Namco, Bandai, Nintendo or Sony then why would it prevents them to have more web developers?
Unsurprisingly, the companies you listed churn out some pretty terrible code. Square Enix for example has pretty big problems with ffxiv because hacking and botting is so easy. Maintenance windows have gotten longer and are occurring more often in an effort to patch vulnerabilities. Just last week players who were in a specific city accessing their retainers (personal bankers) had their money flushed from their characters by hackers who compromised the trade cluster and transfered it to their bots by listing bogus trash items for millions of gold.
Sure, but it's not like companies in western world don't make similar mistake. WoW/DB3 have plenty of exploits too. Bad code are produced by everyone regardless the cultural or native language background.
Japan's engineering prowess - very distinct from any sort of design prowess. Look at the classic example of Honda and Toyota, two great engineering companies who succeeded in spite of their design. The early Toyotas were derided as ugly little box cars, and their only redeeming value was that they were cheap and well engineered.
I'm in Sydney but I'm seeing otherwise. Most if not all of my Chinese friends are using WeChat primarily. Sure they may have WhatsApp installed and use them sometime but if they talk to their Chinese friends it always WeChat.
