and I don’t want to constantly get it mistaken
From a certain point in life, I’ve stopped bothering with this. The name is just a communication tool, people can call me whatever they want as long as I know it’s me.
When I’m speaking, I just pronounce it correctly and then spell it (I have the benefit of its Latinisation being short).
It might be worth it if there are many chances to use it, but for hotel check-ins, they won’t even remember my name after ten seconds, let alone the correct pronunciation.
That being said, I felt somewhat guilty for not being grateful to some people that actually made the effort to pronounce it correctly (or at least ask and then give up lol).
8 (八 ba) is considered a lucky number in Mandarin due to its pronunciation being similar to “fortune” (发 fa). So you get lots of things priced with 8 (also for telephone numbers, plate numbers, etc.)

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is leadership valued so much over expertise?
111·2 months agoFrom the owners’ (shareholders’) point of view, managers are on their side to extract values from workers. Of course there are more nuances in real life, but that’s a more plausible explanation than any of the meritocracy ones.
It’s not like losing a pen, is it?

Programming@programming.dev•What type of program should this be?
12·3 months agoIt doesn’t matter if it’s truly a one-off.
However, the conventional wisdom is to split the potentially reusable part as a library package and the executable to be a thin layer on top of that library.
In this way, for example, testing can just depend on that library. In the future, if there are requests that calls for a separate executable, the library can be reused.
Duh, obviously you need hard liquor for hard study. It’s pretty hard.
You’re right. In practice it’s somewhat more casual, akin to “No way!”.
“I bought this bag of chips with half the price!” “うそ!”
Although うそ literally means “it’s a lie”, it should have been translated to “Really?”

Technology@lemmy.world•Motorola phones are hijacking your Amazon app [Video]English
9·3 months agoIt’s app level injection, so presumably if you install GrapheneOS or use a different “smart feed app” (some kind of launcher for Motorola? I haven’t used one before), it won’t affect the user. Although, I agree it’s a pretty bad look on the QA of preloaded apps.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•A Facebook support group, for people who share the same name as famous criminals.
