Wow.

Somehow, visualization is the most fascinating tech to me. Of course, sounds and other things are fantastic, but it all takes time to feel. For example, the sound, you have to listen to it second by second. Any fast-forwarding will result in an abnormal feeling (and we called it "distortion"). In contrast, images are just lying in front of you, and you can watch the whole film by seeing all frames (assuming it's a physical film, not something digital).

And by converting sounds and other info into images, we humans might not able to read it (you can't read a QR code by just staring at it, right? Right?), it's kind of abstract to us. But it is also concrete enough that allows us to roughly understand what's going on there. Just looking those digital dolby sound encoding in the film, it's not the changes in air pressure (something we called sound), it is the SOUND.

* Maybe, I mean maybe, because I don't know how to properly write frontend things and do data visualization, so I feel it's super cool to me. LOL

I wish people would link to the original article instead of just posting a screenshot.
It's so annoying having to manually type the headline into a search engine to confirm if it's real.

the sad reality of open source software development

In short: folks love the amazing decentralised encrypted comms utopia of Matrix. But organisations also love that they can use it without having to pay anyone to develop or maintain it. This is completely unsustainable, and Element is now literally unable to fund the entirety of the Matrix Foundation on behalf of everyone else - and has had to lay off some of the folks working on the core team as a result.

Holy sh*t it's 1 am

Yet another day I failed to sleep early.

Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence

A quick update for myself.

It has been 2 weeks, and all I am left with is the cough. It's much better than several days ago (when I almost coughed my soul out). Now it's like 2 or 3 coughs per hour, and it doesn't hurt anymore.

Another symptom is sleepiness. My friend said it's a new symptom after he got covid. But for me, it has been a year, since I sleep at 2 am and wake up at 11 am. I really need to sleep early, right?

泽连斯基真好……在美国演讲期间还不忘重申自己不恨俄罗斯人的孩子,“拯救我们的孩子,就是拯救他们的孩子。”
“我知道还有一件非常重要的事情,就是俄国人民也是有资格获得尊重与自由的,但是他们首先必须在自己的脑海里把克林姆林宫打败。”

泽连斯基是一位真正的杰出政治家和演说家。他的度量和沉稳是我所不能及的……我看到自己家乡百姓无药医治以至于急病乱投医瞎喝中药汤剂,我都痛苦到想当场铲平这片土地。而他是在乌克兰无数人被屠杀,无数孩子被凌虐,无数战士被浇上磷弹直至活活烧穿骨头之下才说出了这番话。

他比谁都有理由恨俄罗斯人,但是他身为成年人表示自己也有义务守护俄罗斯小孩的未来。

没话说了,他真的伟大、隐忍、不卑不亢。比在场美国所有政客加在一起,都伟大几千倍。他每次讲话和演讲都有亮点,对一些北美政治术语把握也很精准,掷地有声,发自肺腑,甚至不忘在美国申明发展中国家的立场,亚非拉人民的存在。

好感动……“我此番发言,不止是对美国人,也是面向世界所有人…面向那些心怀自由且具有正义感的人们。”

一个东欧中年大叔在大洋彼岸的精彩发言,竟成为最近几日支持着我内心不再持续崩溃的最大动力。
