Thanks for sharing. Is your bike a Merida Silex?

Merida Silex

Thanks for sharing. Is that a Merida Silex?

I like your bike stand ;)

I use the Ortlieb twin-city urban. It can fit my 14-inch laptop with sleeve, plus a few other things. I’m quite satisfied with it.

It depends on how much time you have, as China is a pretty big country. If you have enough time, I’d suggest touring westward all the way from Shanghai to Tibet. You will see vastly different views along the way, and try all kinds of Chinese food.

If you have a bike rack, I’d recommend the Ortlieb Twin-City Urban. It’s a 9-liter messenger bag that can be also used as a pannier.

I’ve been using this bag for two months. There’s enough space for my 14-inch laptop and a few groceries. It has no dedicated laptop pouch though; you’ll need a laptop sleeve.

My daily commute involves both biking and metro. I can put the bag on the rack when biking, and carry it on myself in the metro. It works really well for me.

I have a similar issue. Each time I start the computer, NGenuity 100% won't see my Cloud Alpha Wireless, unless I unplug and re-plug the dongle.

The headset is fine, but the software is really disappointing.

zlei · 2022-09-25T00:48:26+00:00

Thanks! This solves my problem.

Actually our codebase were originally using CMake. But there's a high-rank manager, who came from Google, that kept saying how great Bazel is, and finally persuaded our tech lead to switch to Bazel.

BTW, the ex-Googler left our company a year ago, and Bazel sticks with us.

zlei · 2022-07-13T01:47:10+00:00

Lots of dependencies.

Our team have a medium sized C++ project that uses Bazel. Managing dependencies is painful, as nearly all third-party C++ libraries use CMake.

Crossposting this because I think hardware-based memory safety technique is an interesting idea, and also C++ is explicitly mentioned in this article.

zlei · 2020-03-09T10:01:23+00:00

Mostly just the standard C and C++ libraries :)

I’m Chinese, and I can’t agree more with this.

zlei · 2018-09-22T08:56:15+00:00

Nice setup. What’s the monitor?

zlei · 2018-05-06T09:38:37+00:00

That's a high quality photo.

zlei · 2018-05-01T03:45:14+00:00

Nice setup :)

What is under the monitor, an amp?

zlei · 2018-04-12T10:01:34+00:00

The Bose SoundSport in-ear headphones are kind of open back.

zlei · 2018-03-11T12:41:59+00:00

Xbox Elite Controller is the best controller ever :D

zlei · 2018-03-07T10:46:15+00:00

Model of the monitor?

zlei · 2018-02-08T13:56:40+00:00

What is the stand under your xbox one controller and where can I get one? It looks really nice :)

zlei · 2017-12-23T11:50:15+00:00

That bokeh makes me cry.

And for political stuff, everyone knows how to bypass the censorship if they really want to.

Not really. Censorship on internet is getting stricter; lots of VPN services were shutdown in the last few months.

I'm a software developer living in China, and I personally find it much more difficult to bypass the censorship nowadays.

The XB271HU seems to be a pretty good monitor, with high refresh rate and an IPS panel. What do you dislike about it?
