Notes

我真的对《第几个一百天》很有 PTSD。这歌出来以后我偷偷拿压岁钱买了 NDS，破解以后用 Moonshell 听歌。但 NDS 那个弱鸡 CPU 是不能硬解 MP3 的，我又下了个码率高的（CD 音质才对得起行走的 CD 不是吗），结果一放就卡，手一七一安里一安世鸡椰都改比一安的那种卡。到现在我听这首歌都紧张，仿佛死机就是下一秒的事情。

不知道是不是普遍 跑步游泳对我的吸瘾力 很大程度上来自于前后过于剧烈的情绪反差带来的虚幻膨胀感 出门前：我这个垃圾 又懒又饿还怕冷 完事后：我真牛逼我可以原地上天

Ran into and almost spellbound by the abandoned channel of a (then) teenage nobody. Miserable production quality, improvised voice-over, ignoble view-count. Yet filled w/ primal, visceral, invoking excitement on tech — nostalgic but less felt since early 2010s.

除了业务和设计之间，科技公司里的业务和法务是不是也是隔着座山的？业务用体育老师教的文笔写出来文件让法务去审，不懂技术的法务一脸蒙蔽甩给外部律师，律所民工再回头去翻业务做的网站理解说的是什么鬼。也许 GDP 就是这么产生的吧。

这篇太丧了 ……

每次看到动森发新资料片都觉得要不要回岛上看看，但想到迎接自己的肯定是杂草丛生的惨状，屡次作罢，想到一句诗叫「近乡情更怯，不敢问来人」

微软和苹果两家的支持文档水平好像正好是反过来的。微软的开发文档网站搜索、导航都很方便，写得很详尽（仅就我能看得懂的部分而言），八百年前的历史文档也都能查到；但面向最终用户的操作指南一塌糊涂，Win 10 支持页面愣是找不到一个操作手册，仿佛有意给第三方教程留活路。苹果是用户指南写得很全，细到系统附件的菜单项都会逐个唠叨一遍；但是开发文档就是白茫茫一片，很多信息甚至需要去 WWDC 的字幕里面找更方便（其实早年文档里有很多干货，但都藏在 Archive 里面不更新了）

VBA 这个用 Dim 声明变量的 statement 真的是太诡异了，哪怕我知道这是 DIMension 的缩写，每次敲的时候都忍不住想到 Dim Sum

These works also give us an emotional registry of the feelings — smallness, sublimity, foreboding, tranquillity — that snow evokes. Paint’s qualities — density, fluidity, the ability to be layered — can make it inherently mimetic of snow, as with the ridges visible in Gallace’s brushwork. The physical hardship of painting in frigid plein air was treated as a test of endurance, fortitude and perhaps masculinity.

无法想象在 Word for Mac 的 VBA 环境里插入个汉字有多费劲 ……

"yyyy" & ChrW(&H5E74) & "M" & ChrW(&H6708) & "d" & ChrW(&H65E5)

WTF

No! There's no dignified way to answer any of these questions except "fuck you". Just don't kick me in the balls! It isn't rocket science! Don't kick me in the fucking balls!

Good case on why sometimes you have to be a crazy bastard so people won't walk all over you.

回想一下这两年用过的电子产品好像普遍都越来越难用，不是这里有毛病就是那里出故障，唯一能称得上「It just works」几乎不掉链子的，好像只有 Aftershokz 的骨传导耳机和得到的电纸书。再想一下，之所以这两个玩意能 just work，是因为我根本没指望它们能做特定任务——跑步听播客和 KOReader 看文章——以外的事情。结论：提高数字生活满意度，关键不在于花钱，在于不要贪心 🤷‍♀️

The essential experience of Chinese poetry is all but untranslatable. Transference, parallels, metonymy, and correspondences across words and lines generate a radically different poetic realm than lexical meanings produce in English-language poetry. Hinton notes that the Chinese language is not constructed around “a center of identity”; each time we see an “I” in a translation of Tang poetry, it was almost certainly not in the original text. The “I” exists and dissolves, but not without altering the loom.

A conversion narrative is built into every autobiography: the writer purports to be the one who remembers, who saw, who did, who felt, but the writer is no longer that person. In writing things down, she is reborn. And yet still defined by the actions she took, even if she now distances herself from them. To be hard is to let things roll off you, to live in the present, not to dwell or worry. To become a writer is to have left early no matter what time you got home.

It's extremely difficult to get unbiased information on China. However, there are some good sources.

这个还算比较清醒

The attempts [of tech companies] to dress up [last week’s] actions as part of a coherent and deliberate decision-making structure were trying to mask an uncomfortable truth about our most important speech forums: Platforms can and will do what they like… A tiny group of people in Silicon Valley are defining modern discourse, ostensibly establishing a Twilight Zone where the rules are something between democratic governance and journalism, but they’re doing it on the fly in ways that suit them…

不遵守各种「节日惯例」，一方面是因为很多节日惯例是消费主义的叙事；另一方面，在过节的时候积极练习不过节的能力，不过节的时候才有随时过节的能力。
