Preface
In order to cure my carpal tunnel syndrome, I go to Jishuitan Hospital to do a MRI/NMR scan.
I live far off the city center. Go there by subway costs around 2 hours - unacceptable. (I used public transport in the past and it was painful…)
So I use Didi Hitch recently. It costs around 50 cny halfway (then I use subway) or around 80 cny full way. BTW the time is around 1 hour.
The driver is good at bargaing - the shown price is 67CNY but he successfully get me at 80CNY at the advantange of immediatelly available. (well I already waited long at hospital, and the time is night and I get there prepared at 5:30 so I only eat a light afternoon meal so I was tired)
the mediacal situation of China
Also the medical resource at China is very limited. I wait 1 hour at the hospital just for a NMR check.
At Beijing xiehe hospital, I wait 1 week just for a hospital registration. ridiculus. People can visit hospital at any time in Germany!
After I arrived, another people cut in line…
worrying about security
I have a MP3 recording device, so I’m gonna use it. But I turned it on and find it already full. 64GB cannot even last a month! (just 20 days)
So I’m gonna archive the contents and empty the space.
A simple file copy
I copy file to device. But the file is large (.wav format) so I want to compress it (7z is good, at 16% ratio) and upload it to Google drive automatically.
I remebered previous work experience, and want to fully automate it. but what’s the first step? right, that’s it - reimplement the file copy dialog.
Long story short - I searched online and find that I can use an API to call it programatically: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shellapi/nf-shellapi-shfileoperationa?redirectedfrom=MSDN. But I’m kind lost on it so I want to see a few demos. I searched it on GitHhub - guess what? I find a lot of good tools!
the search
the python binding of it called shell.SHFileOperation. the search on GitHub: https://github.com/search?q=shell.SHFileOperation&type=code
I find the following result:
- BleachBit.
- it contains many more windows shell helper functions.
- winshell
- dedicated to api bindings.
I used the binding but find it differs from Windows - it lacks the dark theme.
dark theme
A search at Google brings me to Windows docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/desktop/modernize/ui/apply-windows-themes (again, windows is great). I also searched the darktheme API:
-
- great app for windows. similar to startallback which I paid for. a video intro: https://youtu.be/bjOS9tBpTBw?si=yYvq6lzn5Er6Puqc
- a free website: https://www.majorgeeks.com/
-
- change windows header theme.
- also it can disable rounded corner! no more 圆角(Round Corners) YuanJiao (sounds similar to 援交 Compensated dating, which itself is a meme)
-
In china, I found a programmer writting notes: https://github.com/wangwenx190/notes. but I think chinese programmer lacks spirits(don’t comment on social and politial issues) so I don’t pay much attention.
- Also this is an issue. People only see country’s bad part but don’t complain it and see other country’s good part so wait to immgrate.
- And people in the other country only see immagration’s bad part but don’t respect them. (they may think it’s these people that I don’t have a good job or pay. but the vast of them are working on social services)
- Immagration is an issue in Germany too: https://youtu.be/AquKL4wBZeU?si=HPpA7u13MJhyO3dD
- Vue’s author migrated to Singapore. but SG is only looking good. Real citizen feels it a cage: https://hachyderm.io/@skinnylatte
Being a programmer
Being a programmer, or more generally, working in the tech area, is the same as everyone else.
Don’t be fanciated about other’s wellbeing - they have the same social problem, and regardless of the salary. because money cann’t solve everything.
And that’s why the military and confidential instustry is not sustainable - by constraining information and providing money, they created a virtual world that only eat up people (and they are good at it - the top is from Germany, they choose good location (Beijing and DaLian, that are good for forming spirits)), and cannot change the world.
Well the military and confidential instustry is just another foreign company. They have their own language, software, and law, and fixed people with social levels. And they are good at advertisement.
Dalian
From AI: 
Dalian is a city whose number of people studying Japanese is the highest among the cities in China; and it has also enjoyed close ties with Japan since the beginning of the modern times.
I remebered dalian from this event.
