  • I have recently applied for a junior computer scientist position in Europe, U.S., and China. The Chinese employer give me an offer immediately, with almost the same salary as Europe and U.S. In addition to that, the Chinese institute promised me a clear path of advancement, which is not included in my Europe and U.S. offers.

    My current employer in Europe is a famously well-paying institute, but my salary is only minorly higher than my Chinese offer, in a much more expensive city than Beijing, and I have went through a lot of crap moving to Europe.

    The Chinese government is investing a crap ton of money and resource into computing, while the U.S. is denying visa for top talents, I cannot imagine many people will make the same choice as I did, especially when they spent most of their lives in China.

  • I am great, it is the lunar new year and I am celebrating it with my family.

    I made vegan fried rice for them. Most asian haven't had vegan fried rice, because typically fried rice involves lard and egg. However, they loved the vegan fried rice so much that my cousin asked my aunt to recreate it tonight.

  • I think the best tip is to not be too hard on yourself. Using linux doesn't mean abandoning Windows, even if you feel overwhelmed and need to go back to Windows, that is totally okay, just try again when you feel comfortable.

    If you are confused please ask questions, people love to help beginners. Finally, like others, I think mint is a great starting point. If you have time, you can also follow some linux content creators on YouTube or PeerTube.
