College Roommate's Wedding#

On the evening of July 12th, Friday, we took a train to Nanjing and then went to Wuhu Nanling by car with our classmates from Nanjing.
Around 12:30 am on July 13th, we arrived at the esports hotel and formed a team of five for a big brawl.

Since we needed to get up at 4 o'clock to go to the groom's house, we planned to sleep for 2 hours, but we kept losing and playing, and by the time it was past 3 o'clock, we still hadn't won a single game...
We quickly rested for half an hour (I couldn't fall asleep).

After getting up at 4 o'clock, we went to the groom's house. The village was in a beautiful environment, with a dam right outside the door, lots of lawns, and rivers.
Despite the heavy rain, it couldn't stop the wedding procession.

The bride's family is in a nearby village, in a valley with mountains, water, and waterfalls.

The wedding procession went very smoothly, with the mother-in-law leading the way and urging everyone to move faster (🤣
We had a wonderful wedding banquet at noon.

Afterwards, we went back to the hotel to rest for a while and continue playing. Today's results are pretty good, we can win a few games.

In the evening, we had dinner and chatted with the bride and groom, and the next morning we each went our separate ways.

Resuming Exercise#

Since the injury to my right elbow on June 16th, I haven't exercised for three weeks.

The cause at that time was unknown, suspected to be a combination of the following reasons:

• Regular exercise
• Playing basketball for two days during the Dragon Boat Festival
• Hiking in Shaoxing the day before
  I felt pain when sleeping at night, and I should have gone to the hospital immediately and applied ice, but unfortunately, I lacked knowledge in this area.

After resuming exercise, I will see if there are any effects and whether I need to rest.

Shadow of the Golden Tree#

I finished the final boss, Mi Qilala, last weekend and collected all the fragments and ashes. Next, I can collect all the DLC's battle ashes, equipment, and more.

This DLC feels relatively simple overall. It was difficult at the beginning when there were few fragments and ashes, but after exploring a bit, it gradually became easier. It also provides a lot of souls, so leveling up is fast. When I entered the DLC, I was level 187 in the second playthrough, and now I'm level 213, even though I lost a few times with a high burden.

And there are also many wheelchairs. Although I haven't had a chance to play with the firecracker, the wheelchair itself is enough to complete the game.

Then I will continue with my second playthrough using the DLC weapons.

Currently, I'm considering a bloodborne or prayer build. The Flame Knight also seems viable.

💭 Excerpt#

Do ordinary Russians consider Russia to be aggressive?#

There is no justice in aggression, but we should strive not to be aggressed upon and become the aggressor ourselves.
When it comes to national interests, we still need to talk about justice and morality. Why not ask the developed countries why they are developed?
Also, why is China so large, even though it lost so much territory in modern wars?

📰 Weekly Digest#

MongoDB 8.0#

Starting from MongoDB 8.0, you can configure the database profiler to record slow operations based on the time spent by MongoDB executing the operation (rather than the total latency of the operation). This means that factors such as waiting for locks and traffic control will not affect whether an operation exceeds the slow operation threshold.

• Recording the time spent by MongoDB processing queries allows for more accurate recording of slow queries.
• Query analysis tools (such as the query profiler, performance advisor, and search query telemetry) report slow operations based on workingMillis rather than durationMillis. This change provides a more accurate view of problematic queries.
• The slow query log now includes a new metric, ticketWaitMillis, which measures the time spent waiting for a ticket. This metric helps determine whether slow operations are due to completion time or waiting start time.

Starting from MongoDB 8.0, you can use the new bulkWrite command to perform multiple insert, update, and delete operations on multiple collections in a single request. The existing db.collection.bulkWrite() method only allows you to modify one collection in a single request.

This is equivalent to integrating transactions into a statement, eliminating the steps of manual transactions.

Starting from MongoDB 8.0, you can use the defaultMaxTimeMS cluster parameter to specify the default time limit for completing a single read operation.

It has been a year since the last major release of MongoDB, and since the protocol changed to SSPL, if you want to use new features, you can only set it up yourself and cannot use cloud products.

Conversation with laid-off employees at Nice: "Being laid off at 35", more than 800,000 yuan in stock options went down the drain｜Storm Eye#

The stock price of our company is so low that I can't be bothered to sell it. I'll clear it out when I leave in the future.
