I make 4.3k usd after tax per month. Training center. You can get 23-25k rmb depending on your nationality “looks like a foreigner”.

Recruiter is right here. Hangzhou and Suzhou are highly sought after locations and not true T1 cities. With no experience you might be able to get about 20k but that's about where you would top out. You can get more in Beijing.

Am a 24 year old Kenyan, just finished my college yet to graduate on December with a bachelors in IT. How can I get job in China? In my college years I used to do teaching kids in our country and recently undertook the TEFL 120 hrs, I have been doing online application in hiredchuna, echinacities, indeed, glassdoor and all other platfroms but never gotten shortlisted.

How is everyone doing ? I am coming here as one of the final resort to understand how to find an RoR remote job these days. I have been working remotely since 2020 and the market availability of remote jobs just seems to be going down each day now. I was living in the US earlier until 2022, and even working remotely required me to have a work visa dependency which was a struggle as sponsorship is not easy to come by. So I moved back to my home country and initially in 2022 there were tonnes of roles which you could work with or apply to considering having direct experience with the US market. I was working with a small bootstrap RoR product till the beginning of this year but had to leave because of really awful behavior from the startup owner. Since, then haven't been able to secure any interviews. I understand lot of people are facing the same these days but may be I am not utilizing all the possible resources to put my profile out there ? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to look for a new role ? I have over 8 years of work experience as a full time software engineer and 5 years of that I had worked on RoR stack. Would love to hear some ideas on how to approach this problem better.

大家都好吗？如今，我来到这里是了解如何找到RoR远程工作的最后手段之一。自2020年以来，我一直在远程工作，远程工作的市场可用性现在似乎每天都在下降。我早些时候一直住在美国，直到2022年，即使远程工作也需要我依赖工作签证，这是一个艰难的过程，因为赞助并不容易获得。所以我搬回了我的祖国，最初在2022年，你可以与大量的职位合作或申请，考虑与美国市场有直接的经验。直到今年年初，我一直在使用一个小型的引导RoR产品，但由于创业公司老板的行为非常糟糕，我不得不离开。从那以后，我就没能获得任何面试机会。我知道现在很多人都面临着同样的问题，但也许我没有利用所有可能的资源来发布我的个人资料？有人对如何寻找新角色有什么建议吗？我有8年以上的全职软件工程师工作经验，其中5年我在RoR堆栈上工作过。我很想听听如何更好地解决这个问题。

Is the business logic in the controller making it hard to read / use? You dont need to extract it out to modules as a kneejerk reaction. If you feel friction, find a way to reduce the friction. You never know less about your app than you do right now, so waiting is often the right move.

控制器中的业务逻辑是否使其难以阅读/使用？你不需要把它作为下意识反应提取到模块中。如果你感觉到摩擦，找到一种方法来减少摩擦。你永远不会比现在更了解你的应用程序，所以等待通常是正确的选择。

We drove through the city of San Antonio (no fun pulling a fifth wheel) and set up camp beside Canyon Lake to explore the Texas Hill Country. When we crossed the Nueces River I could picture the cowboys on their horses herding the cattle across.

Since Lonesome Dove is a fictional place, we had to do some research to figure out where to start.We studied maps of the cattle trail and the closest place we could find with a nice place to stay was Laredo.

Lake Casa Blanca didn’t exist back then and Laredo doesn’t resemble the dusty, dry town of Lonesome Dove at all. When we left Laredo and started driving north on I-35 towards San Antonio the landscape looked more like it must have looked like to the cowboys. On both sides of the interstate were fields of cactus, mesquite, yucca and dust with few trees in sight. The railroad, which was built following the cattle trail that was used by the real cattlemen, runs beside I-35 most of the way to San Antonio. There are few towns and for miles and miles there was no sign of civilization except the vehicles on the interstate.

那时卡萨布兰卡湖并不存在，拉雷多根本不像尘土飞扬、干旱的孤独鸽镇。当我们离开拉雷多，开始沿着I-35向北驶向圣安东尼奥时，风景看起来更像牛仔们的样子。州际公路两侧是仙人掌、豆科植物、丝兰和尘土的田野，几乎看不到树木。这条铁路是沿着真正的牧场主使用的牛道修建的，在通往圣安东尼奥的大部分路上都沿着I-35公路行驶。这里几乎没有城镇，除了州际公路上的车辆外，几英里外都没有文明的迹象。

In the story of Lonesome Dove several events take place in San Antonio and in and around Austin. Of course, all the places in the story are different now. San Antonio and Austin are big cities and both are surrounded by suburbs, big box stores, strip malls, and outlet malls.

在《孤独的鸽子》的故事中，圣安东尼奥和奥斯汀及其周边地区发生了几件事。当然，现在故事中的所有地方都不一样了。圣安东尼奥和奥斯汀都是大城市，都被郊区、大卖场、露天购物中心和奥特莱斯购物中心包围着。

So our plans have changed. As Henry said, it would be disappointing to try to find where a fictional event might have taken place, because we might get there only to find a Home Depot sitting on the location. Instead of driving through the plains of Kansas and Nebraska (in the beginning of tornado season), we will spend more time in Texas. We will leave Lonesome Dove in our imagination.

所以我们的计划改变了。正如亨利所说，试图找到一个虚构事件可能发生的地方是令人失望的，因为我们可能只会在那里找到一个家得宝。我们将花更多的时间在德克萨斯州，而不是开车穿过堪萨斯州和内布拉斯加州的平原（在龙卷风季节开始时）。我们将把孤独的鸽子留在我们的想象中。

Hey, it’s our trip! The beauty of not making reservations ahead of time is that we can change our plans if we want.

嘿，这是我们的旅行！不提前预订的好处是，如果我们愿意，我们可以改变我们的计划。

The Tao of Charlie Munger, via CNBC:

There are three rules for a career: “1) Don’t sell anything you wouldn’t buy yourself. 2) Don’t work for anyone you don’t respect and admire. 3) Work only with people you enjoy.”

Deliberate practice entails more than simply repeating a task. Rather, it involves setting specific goals, obtaining immediate feedback and concentrating as much on technique as on outcome.

刻意练习不仅仅意味着重复一项任务。相反，它涉及设定具体目标，获得即时反馈，并尽可能多地关注技术和结果。

Repetitive Listening:

The speaker emphasizes the importance of repetitive listening, stating that it constituted a significant portion of his learning strategy. He would repeatedly listen to podcasts, watch movies, and TV shows in English, exposing himself to the language's nuances over time.

演讲者强调了重复听力的重要性，并表示这是他学习策略的重要组成部分。他会反复听播客、看电影和电视节目，随着时间的推移，让自己接触到英语的细微差别。

Immersion:

The speaker recounts a period when he lived in Switzerland and decided to immerse himself fully in English. He switched his daily activities, including internet browsing and social interactions, to English, even changing the language settings on his devices. This immersion allowed him to simulate living in an English-speaking environment.

演讲者讲述了他在瑞士生活的一段时间，并决定全身心投入英语。他将日常活动（包括上网和社交互动）改为英语，甚至更改了设备上的语言设置。这种沉浸式体验让他能够模拟生活在英语环境中。

Comprehensible Input:

The speaker acknowledges a flaw in his approach, realizing the importance of comprehensible input for effective language learning. He suggests using tools like LingQ, which provide assisted reading of subtitles or transcripts, to enhance understanding before engaging with English media, thus optimizing the learning process.

演讲者承认自己的方法存在缺陷，意识到可理解输入对有效语言学习的重要性。他建议在接触英语媒体之前，使用LingQ等工具来增强理解，从而优化学习过程。LingQ提供字幕或成绩单的辅助阅读。
