The day finally comes...

OCBC sent me an email saying due to the regulations, they have to close my account unless I'm working physically in Singapore, for a Singapore company. which, I can't.

And considering OCBC is my major account for receiving salary in the past months, now I'm in big trouble.

I can't send all that money back to China since there is a stupid foreign exchange regulation that requires me to provide a bunch of documents and might got rejected. I also don't trust wise since they are not a bank but a company.

I want to visit HK to get an HSBC account, but I don't have the travel permit. And might not be able to apply one until I go back to Beijing.

*sigh with invisible disappointment*

#长毛象抠门大会

抠门之法,无不从交流而成。今毛象未闻有抠门经验交流者,此门之所以不抠也。有之,请自本铁公鸡始! :isuck:

铁公鸡发言:吃完的果酱瓶加入适量热水(更好溶解)涮涮就是一杯果茶。

再视情况加入手边刚好有的(注意,不是刚好就不够抠门了)柠檬、茶叶等原料组合成一杯果饮。

倒完水之后把盖子合上摇一摇可以把盖子也顺便涮干净。

注意:装果酱的玻璃瓶大多出厂前需要经过高温蒸煮,所以应该是可以加热水的,但仍然需要注意不要骤冷骤热aka往冰冷的瓶子里一下子加满开水。可以一点点一点点地加,加得整个瓶子开始温热了就可以放心正常加水了。

The document: state, type: string, for example, Exited.

Where are the rest of the enums???

It nicely provided a human-readable field called status. Then I assume this state field is machine-readable. Then how should I write code to parse it without knowing all possible values? Am I expected to use NLP to test the state?

I was not that shocked when I saw there is no document for docker-java. It's just a wrapper after all. But this is the official docker API document. I can't write code based on a random StackOverflow post (I mean, the answer is probably right, but still, that's not the official source).

I would count this as an abuse of `@Deprecated`...

I was shocked when I first saw all possible implementations are deprecated but the field is still used actively in another class.

家人们,我是李在明,昨晚翻墙时把腰给闪了,现在医院治疗,今天需要缴纳一万韩元 (约50元人民币)治疗费用。待我上位大统领,让你当中韩友善大使(Korea Friend China,简称KFC)。

連勞動部都這樣,也太恐怖了。

最近跟老闆去拜訪某一家公司,我在車上提到台積電美國廠良率比台灣高的新聞,他就不想信,還罵西方人太懶,不會凌晨3點跑工廠維修機台,不論事情有多緊他們還是會先把咖啡喝完才動手(這就是我為什麼反對張忠謀的「個人崇拜」)。開會時,我們的夥伴一講到他們公司正在考慮在國外設廠(在日本或是英國),又開始抱怨希望是在日本,因為英國人什麼都不懂,跟他們合作太累。

台灣的工作文化真是需要改革。

Nice! Elin, the successor to Elona, got released on Steam! It is a huge open world roguelike style game with lots of freedom. I hope it's just as quirky as the original game.

As OpenAI and Meta introduce LLM-driven searchbots, I'd like to once again remind people that neither LLMs nor chatbots are good technology for information access.

人类很脆弱的,千万不要低估环境的力量,被坏环境搞死或者侥幸带着创伤逃脱的比比皆是,看着苗头不对赶紧跑。

鼓励型友好工作环境至少能让效率提升一倍,不要想去改变他人,要去选择他人。不要想着去适应环境,要去选择环境。

适应环境是个很大的消耗,你在不停的对抗不友好的话,用在真正做事的精力就会变很少。妈的换了个同事工作环境简直天壤之别。
