I’ve heard this book for a very long time. It pretty much appears on every single book recommendation thread on Reddit, and the 3-Hugo-in-a-row phenomenon is also very intriguing. However, there is no Chinese translation, and after the misery of Oathbringer, I just lost all of my faith in reading long novels in English (I still read novellas and short stories from time to time tho).

Bought it on Steam sale after 5 years of its initial launch and 2.5 years after its pc port came out. I had to say it’s a bit underwhelming.

Naeba ski resort is a huge resort with a huge hotel and many trails. It is also connected with Kagura Ski Resort through a 5km long ropeway.

If you’re very athletic and can generally pick up new sports quickly, you can probably ease through blue i.e. intermediate trials on your 2nd day with a personal coach. If you’re in a group teaching session or only being taught by a friend, then it may take a bit longer as there may be bottlenecks in groups, while your friends may not know how to teach.

2022 has been a year of progression for me. I have published an academic conference paper. I have decided on my career path and have also gained lots of head starts through projects and internships. I gained a ton of software engineering-related skills, and also started to LeetCode. I have transformed from a stupid programmer to a software engineer. I also learned a lot more about the industry mainly through Blind and a bit from Reddit.

I also kind of decide not to pursue a Master’s degree in the US, but work there directly instead.

Here are some blogs and newsletters that I enjoy
