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*
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!
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).
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.

Chirag Shah and I wrote about this in two academic papers:

**I have a job now!**
I'm a Chinese shitizen, but I generally don't post in Chinese to avoid being suffering from other Chinese.
I'm physically a male, but I don't care how people think about my gender. I can be male, or female, or cat. But if you ask, I'd prefer to be referred to as male. Also, I support LGBT+ people, and I'm a copyleft. I don't think I'm too aggressive in arguing things, but sometimes I do. You should handle it with care.
I post about programming (most time is Java and Kotlin, unless I have a new love), and some random things I find interesting. I also post about my mental health, which is in a stable state of instability, thanks to my parents and Chinese society.
Anyway, if you want to follow me, I'm glad to see you. And, have a nice day.
