@freemo @trinsec For domestic flight I always try to choose the business or first class when I'm flying alone, the price is not that crazy if you got the timing right. Last year I went to Yunnan and the price for round trip with business class is less than 4000 CNY (at this time the economy price is about 900 CNY for round trip). But when I went to Yunnan during the spring festival (follow my relatives), the economy class cost more than 4000 CNY.

But sadly it's getting difficult to find wide-body aircraft for domestic lines, like A350-900, where you can lie flat comfortably. For aircraft like A320, I think it's just a wider version of economy seat.

Internation one is always expensive, even during the off-season :(

Came our from bank, thinking if I wanted to take the chance to ride. Mentally I want to ride, but physically I don't, because it's windy and now catkins are filling up the air (and I'm too lazy).

So I decided to bike to a supermarket. So I did the ride, and it's not that tiring. And I picked up some yoghurt and 3 bottles of coconut water.

I don't know about coconut water until I went to Yunnan last year. I like it so much that I feel super depressed when I can't find the exact same brand in Beijing. I tried different brands but they just don't taste the same. And today I found that brand.

I'm so happy. It deserves a movie.[1]

[1]: When watching a movie, I need the perfect environment: the mood, the snake, the drink, and the movie itself. When I say something (snake or drink) deserves a movie, that's the highest appreciation I can give. And the word "moive" is just a placeholder, it can be a movie, an episode of anime, or a enjoyable youtube video.

Also samsung:

Me: alibaba
Auto correction: Alabama
*me delete the word and try again*
Type: alibaba, then tap space
Samsung: Alabama

Wait, I can use Singapore credit card to buy things on alibaba?

Now I'm not going to wait bank. I'm ordering my new monocular.

Although Samsung has made me feel a little good about integrating AI in this way, I still don’t like it very much.

But at least the model is offline and does not require a subscription fee. In fact, this toot was written using the translation function of Samsung input method. I type Chinese, it outputs English. I don't change the output at all.

Despite it being a Japanese word, I noticed both I and my friend were totally ok to understand it. In Chinese, "前略" can be broken down into "前" front and "略" omit, which means omit the front part of opening the letter.

However, another Japanese word used in letter is "不一", which means "Very sincerely yours (valediction in correspondence)" in Japanese, but means "varying; differing; different; not uniform" in Chinese.

I wonder what happened in the history to make the word have such a big difference in meaning.

Talking about writing letters, instead of using "敬启者" (To whom it may concern) or something like "尊敬的XX" (Dear XX) for a start, I like using "前略" (Dispensing with the preliminaries).

Then I just found out this "前略" is not a valid Chinese word. It's actually a Japanese word. The meaning can be extended as "Forgive me for dispensing with the preliminaries, but I hasten to inform you that...".

Maybe using the internation code (the 3-letter combination for each character) is better in terms of less character I need to write.

But I didn't find any good digital source for that. I download the 4 digits codes from wikipedia.

本周末的小项目：https://github.com/hurui200320/utf8-ctc

Side project for this weekend: https://github.com/hurui200320/utf8-ctc

使用中文电报码编码文字，并使用UTF-8作为回退，同时还有加密功能（使用置换密码）。

Encode text using Chinese telegraph code, but with UTF-8 as a fallback, also with encryption (Transposition Cipher).

这个项目是和朋友聊到寄信的时候催生的。明信片8毛钱，平信1块2，我就不想多花4毛钱。于是便有了这个项目。你所需要的只是抄写并敲打一系列数字。

This project was built when my friend talked about sending postcards. The postcard costs 0.8CNY to send (proper mail starts with 1.2CNY, in contract, a big mac costs 22 CNY). Anyway, we don't want to spend the extra 0.4 CNY, but we also want privacy using post-services. So I came up with a solution to encode and possibly encrypt the text. All you need is to write and type a bunch of numbers.

完全不需要Base64或者Base58。从我过去的经验来看，这些编码不好写，也不好敲。

No base64 or base58. From my previous experience, they are terrible to write and type.

如果你想了解更多，我还有一篇博客来详细阐述我的思路（不过GitHub的readme应该就足够了）：https://skyblond.info/archives/1062.html

If you want to know more, I also have a blog to descibe my idea (which I think GitHub's readme is good enough). Anyway, if you want to read, here is the google translated version: https://skyblond-info.translate.goog/archives/1062.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en-US&_x_tr_hl=zh-CN&_x_tr_pto=wapp

What?

AI suggest I do a human robot for a weekend project?

I hate windows.
