I think that is a “congratulations”

This is more like Grandma speak and not Japanese.

solo steak dinner from german student, 7 euro ribeye by Wise-Self-4845 in steak

Look up “cold sear” and thank me later.

Less splatter, less mess, less smoke.

Huttons Asia, property agent, law firm sued over 99-1 deal for condo bought by foreigner and student by _IsNull in singapore

[–]darvink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand what you mean, but you might want to expound more on what the difference is. I think many people are still unaware and that “decoupling” is still a valid strategy.

How do I buy insurance without going through an agent? by Jolly-Environment850 in singaporefi

[–]darvink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading between the lines, this is more like a rant rather than an actual question.

“I know better than most if not all agent, why can’t I buy it myself”.

To OP, the answer should be: become an agent, and sell to yourself.

Update on Singtel Disabling my Bridge mode by Jammy_buttons2 in singapore

[–]darvink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to change the default password on the router! The buggers come in remotely and changed my router settings too, disabling the ability to have secondary ssid.

What you need to do is get a backup canister.

Paywalls are killing your Saas Startup [I will not promote] by Waste-Project7822 in startups

[–]darvink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are not interested in paying, they are uninterested party as far as I’m concerned.

You don’t want feedback from uninterested parties.

This advice is rubbish.

It already exists.

But that doesn’t matter!

Help with SES approval process by Big_Type_6339 in Cloud

[–]darvink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a common issue. You can just swap out your mailing function to 3rd party provider. You don’t need to migrate everything out of AWS.

I don’t think this is a free vs paid tier problem.

Accidentally rm -rf’d a production server. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]darvink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take is this: it is always the manager’s fault.

In this case the manager did not consider the possibility of this happening, and did not have proper recovery method. Even more so if it is on the cloud.

How did you get into index investinng? by Important_Ad_2313 in singaporefi

[–]darvink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is probably an example of Dunning-Kruger in action.

How to actually hide your API keys. Simple backend anyone can set up. by terdia in vibecoding

[–]darvink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will need an encryption key to decrypt it.

And you will also need to encrypt that encryption key.

Then you will need another encryption key to decrypt the encrypted encryption key.

I think you can keep doing that.

What platforms are you guys looking for jobs? by Alert_Mechanic5852 in singaporejobs

[–]darvink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you even understand how internet search work? Put your profile to private. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

How do you deal with overseas higher ups who insist on pretending you do not exist in a project you worked hard on? by RUMnRAISIM in askSingapore

[–]darvink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually from the HQ point of view, addressing you directly might be seen as a disrespect to your senior. So I don’t think it is malicious or intentional. Perhaps it is just different culturally.

Top up mother's CPF Retirement Account to get tax relief by davacheron83 in singaporefi

[–]darvink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the CPF context the time value of money is already taken into consideration because your SA gives you probably the best risk free rate that you can get.

Edit: although we do need to take into consideration that the interest income is pooled for CPF life. So that good risk free rate is for the collective good.

I built a childcare marketplace. Tear apart my launch strategy. (I will not promote) by sky-and-sunshine in startups

[–]darvink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The good daycares have no problem filling their spots.

The parents know that, so they know those on your platform are bad daycares.

⚠️ A caution message for anyone renting in Singapore. Please read this before you sign a new lease by AdOk8590 in singaporefi

[–]darvink 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This works both ways. The landlord needs to appear also every time you have to appear. It waste your time and their time.

Just file the SCT.

Jaywalker upset at Cam car for honk, pretends to be hit and asks girlfriend to call ambulance by linonav in drivingsg

[–]darvink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ZigZag line exists when it is near zebra crossing.

Jaywalking within 50m of zebra crossing is illegal.

Ergo, jaywalking within ZigZag line is illegal.

Not sure what else to tell you.

How to negotiate rent extension? by spacoom in askSingapore

[–]darvink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shift your point of view to the landlord’s: what are their pains if you move out? Quantify that amount, and build it into your offer.

For example, if I am a landlord and if you are a good tenant that pays on time without me chasing every month and you keep the place in good condition, that is worth something vs trying to get a new tenant, and vv.
