I need to know *everything*. How else can I judge whether or not I need to know it?

Reading the title I thought it was about z-library or internet archive. Anyway, I noticed a USB LTO9 tape drive from Japan. But sadly, a) they don't sell to individuals, and b) I probably can't afford it.

This library has every book ever published.

These days surfacing the internet is harder than before.

The first book, originally is a splendid book. Detailed explanation, great typesetting, easy to read.

But the Chinese translation is shit. Reading 10 pages and I have already downloaded the English version from z-library. It's such a shame to see the book is translated in this way. Wrong typesetting: mixed usage of Chinese and English punctuations, wrong code content. Why there is missing/additional space that makes the code goes wrong? Not mention the hard-to-read explainations, it's just word by word translation, it's not Chinese at all. I have to find the original English sentence to figure out the meaning.

I want to support the author, so I purchased the book. But the translation is so bad that I have to download the pirate version from z-library.

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

Also, the first result from google search "z library" is fake, it's scam. I login to that site and it ask me to purchase a life time premium. That's FAF (fake as fack). Now I have to reset the password again.

Also I bought 2 new books today.

The first one is "The Joy of Kotlin". I intend to use it to fill in the gaps. I never "learnt" Kotlin, I just migrant from Java and started writing code. Then I gain experience from there and here occasionally. So before I take the interview (If they accepted my resume), I want to know if I miss something important in Kotlin (despite the job description requires Java).

The second one is "In-depth practice of Kotlin metaprogramming" (深入实践 Kotlin 元编程), written by a Chinese. It should talk about the metaprogramming, something like KSP for code generation, or compiler plugin for manipulating the IR. I still haven't read yet.

Recently watched (in the past month):

+ Naoki Hanzawa
+ The Hobbit
+ The Lord of the Rings
+ Love Death + Robots
+ Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
+ Clarkson's Farm
+ The Queen's Gambit
+ Pom Poko

Judging by the number of movies and TV series I consumed in this short amount of time, I think my mental health is pretty self explaining. Normally I watch one film or TV series every 1 or 2 months. But overdosing films is better than overdosing other stuff, I guess.

I also have more than 400GB of random musicals I collect from the internet. Undocumented and some of them are untranslated. So I have a lot to overdose😂

Also found a specialized shop near my home. Very outstanding. I recognized it almost immediately.

Why? They sell ebike for 6k USD, and their s-works branded road bike FRAME is also 6k USD.

Thankfully I don't need a road bike (I think). A normal commuter bike is enough for me.

Life 101: save up to 100% if you don't buy it.

A second thought on copyright (while I'm watching hololive vtubers)

Maybe copyright is somehow doing some good thing. I mean, when you talk about a story about a vtuber, they're kind of actors, but not acting with their appearance, but the fictional designs. When you talk about them, or a song to reflect their stories, all the emotions are bound to this duplicatable, digital visual design, and the copyright law is protecting them from being abused. (Yeah, their copyright holder can still abuse them, but this is not in this argument. And I also argue that a loose copyright policy from the company will/is helpful among the community to promote vtuber)

However, the things that cannot be used to impersonate, like the movies and musics, they're overprotected by the copyright law.

Yes, vtubers cannot shift me from left back to right.
