Probably confused with EDM.

Where can I read more of your writings about China? You seem to have quite nuanced knowledge on the topic.

For more context: "Over 25% of all new cars sold in China in 2022 were electric."

Exactly. It's essentially a sandbox city builder with some highway optimisation thrown in. SimCities 4 was more fun because it was more challenging and felt more like a game, rather than a sandbox.

There are so many interesting gameplay things Skylines could do to be more fun for me like:

1. Subway optimization, e.g faster train cost more but people get to their destination faster, slower trains allow for shorter distances between stations.

2. Parking optimization, e.g. building with parking costs more (because more land has to be bought), but allows people to travel to the place in

3. Low vs high taxes, nanny state or pure capitalism? How would that affect the economy and people's satisfaction?

Delegating as much stuff that you hate as possible:

Hate doing laundry? -> Take your laundry to a laundry shop.

Hate cooking? -> Always eat out.

Hate cleaning your apartment -> Hire a cleaning service.

Hate driving? -> Take Uber or move closer to work.

Hate volunteering? -> Donate to charities and volunteer orgs to do that for you!

And at the same time double down on the things you enjoy or/and earns you more money.

Yes, it's cross-platform and the app is quite polished. Keychain doesn't even have a proper app on the iPhone, never mind other platforms.

1Password password manager. The single best purchase. Should've done it earlier.

To fix Teams formatting issue on MacOS once and for all you can go to System Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts->App Shortcuts, then add a new shortcut by pressing (+), choose "Application": "Microsoft Teams", "Menu title": "Paste and Match Style", "Keyboard Shortcut": "⌘V", and click "Add". Done!

Would like to know about the resources for the complex architectures for Clojure as well.

Would love to know how you categorize and index 200k photos.

Excel at what you do to get higher pay, so that you can donate more to NGOs and non-profits that solve the important problems.

This is a pretty good free resource https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/architecture/microse...

I am also a foreigner living in HK. I am with you on this one. HK was and continues to be awesome.

2 is amazing! How do you pick the news and create the summaries? Is it automated?

Healthy and delicious mass market food. At least in the US currently it's either healthy or delicious, while in Asia and Europe it can be both.

I guess it's relevant.

Here is a great set of videos from "Low Level Javascript" channel explaining how to write parser combinators from scratch. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oQLRhw5Ah0&list=PLP29wDx6Qm...

Seems like you might have ADD or depression. Talk to your doctor about that. Proper medication might be the solution.

800-1000 characters is not enough. Should be about 2500-3000 characters to be comfortable with reading news and random articles online. I am at this level now, but can't handle novels yet. Need to learn much more vocab for that.

I am a software dev in Bytedance (company that created Tiktok) in Shenzhen. In general I like it here. The company is listening to feedback, coworkers are very friendly, and the work is challenging with good pay, I am definitely learning a lot here. Having said that, the workload is quite heavy - we have to work every other Sunday (Saturdays always off). If you are interested in a referral drop me an email at georgy [at] bytedance(dot)com. We have devs in the US as well.

You can update your current location to Shenzhen in LinkedIn. I regularly get messages from local HRs there. Btw, I work in Bytedance (company that created Tiktok) in Shenzhen, if you are interested drop me an email at georgy [at] bytedance(dot)com

Public schools are free in HK. Going to a private/international school (like ESF) in any other developed country would cost you as much if not more.

The fact that a more recent link with more upvotes can already be on the second page, while a link with a few upvotes and few comments is on the main page for more than a day. Apparently some links are artificially "buffed".

Are you serious? This site looks horrible. And the only reason it's not a pain to navigate is because it has very little content. I definitely don't miss those days of the Web when UI designers were not invited yet.

But it's not a studio. Bedroom, living room and kitchen are separate.

Not sure about "factory" districts, but overall there is a lot of Russians, Ukrainians and Serbs here.

I now spend 4200 + utilities for a one-bedroom apartment in not a very old building (definitely not older than 20 years). Taking subway to all the central areas takes around 30 minutes. I guess Beijing prices are much higher.

I live in north Nanshan and spend about that much per day on food and I am not very frugal and don't cook myself. If you want the cheapest food it would be about 15 rmb per meal or less, so 83 rmb per day is a very decent ration, unless you only eat western food of course.

Misleading title. It only lags behind in the US market.
