虽然我一般根本不会打开这种题材的剧 但是竟然还挺好看的 | Coming Out as Bipolar in Modern Love and Reliving It on TV - The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/18/style/anne-hathaway-modern-love-terri-cheney.html

John Gruber：「我基本没试过在马路上用降噪耳机，今天评测的时候也忘记带我的 Bose 了，所以我就跟普通版 AirPods 对比了一下，结论是 AirPods Pro 降噪非常好，真香！」

“A book does not watch us reading it; it cannot morph itself, page by page, to suit our tastes, or deliver to us only depictions of people we already know and among whom we feel comfortable. It cannot note our reactions and then skew its stories to confirm our worldview or reinforce our prejudices. A book does not know when we pick it up and put it down; it cannot nudge us into the belief that we must look at it first thing upon waking and last thing at night, and though it may prove addictive, it will never know exactly how or why. Only the algorithms can do all this—and so much more.”

A denouncement of algorithm disguised in a “defense of fiction.”

说实话，StackOverflow 这种「你想得到和想不到的问题都有人问过并且被回答过」的能力每次都让我很惊讶 当然，Word 这种「你想得到和想不到的问题都会出现」的体质更让我惊讶 请问你们的用户上辈子做错了什么 要动不动考虑「怎么在两个表格之间插入空行」这种沙雕问题？

寻找适合 e-ink 屏幕字体的一种（不太厚道）的思路：打开 APKPure 下载各类新闻媒体/阅读类 app 的安装包，从里面（一般是 /assets/fonts）扒出来它们的定制字体，一般都比较适合长文阅读。示例：Imperial (NYTimes), Exchange (WSJ), Milo (Economist), Blanco (Pocket), Tisa (Instapaper), Literata (Play Books)

之前经常周日早上去星巴克吃早饭，主要是顺便蹭一眼周末版 NYTimes 看，不然单买一份 $6 感觉划不来 这都不算只喝咖啡了，还是能收获很多注目礼

在星巴克可以做任何事，除了喝咖啡[喵喵]

中午去索尼店里看了一下新的 A100 系 Walkman，主要是想偷偷跑下 CPUZ 看下硬件信息：

• 型号识别不出来（正常的）
• 四核 1.8G（meh）
• Vivante GC7000 GPU（sucks）
• 4GB RAM（decent） 我（瞎）猜 SoC 是某种 i.MX8 的四核 A53，理论上凑合用用可以了，但为什么我打开个系统设置就觉得开始卡卡的了

忽然想到 LaunchBar 的 Instant Send 其实差不多就是图形界面版的 xargs

“A member of Parliament was ceremonially held hostage in Buckingham Palace while the queen visits Westminster, just in case the lawmakers decided not to return her. This is rooted in the 1600s, when the relationship between Parliament and the monarchy was particularly fraught under Charles I.”

这一个多月一直没想明白的两个问题：(1) 律所什么时候能想明白雇哪怕几个兼职程序员专门负责爬数据都比增加人手更划算；(2) 律所什么时候能想明白 PDF 处理就只有订 Acrobat 这一条正路别的都是歪门邪道 虽然如果它们都想明白了，我这种滥竽充数的懒鬼可能就没有活路了

“But we don’t need a secret police to turn us into atomized, isolated souls. All it takes is for us to stand by while unbridled capitalism rips apart the temporal preserves that used to let us cultivate the seeds of civil society and nurture the sadly fragile shoots of affection, affinity, and solidarity.”

“Mr. Connare said he’s used the font he created once in the last two decades, to write a letter of complaint about his broadband. The company gave him a £10 refund.”

10 years ago I would die for a computer that could nail these options effortlessly. Today I turn these off moments after I get my hands on every another PC since they are so badly implemented that disabling them drastically make my eyes and life easier.

watchOS 6 里 California 表盘的来源：

In the 1970s, when the vintage watch boom started, a LA based dial refinisher, Kirk Rich, did some dials with this design. They became popular & many vintage watch stores in California sent their dials to KR. So dealers in the rest of the US & the rest of the world began to call them the 'California' dial.

“Around the late 70's early 80's customers would ask us for the ‘California dial’ when requesting a refinish. Basically it was because it was easier than saying "Roman Arabic" when describing the mixed number printing. Roman numerals on top with Arabic at bottom. We were pushing a lot of these so much that people from all around would just ask for the California dial when sending us work.”

今天也解锁了一些边缘场景的知识： (1) 如果你预约了自提但没有按时去，这个被自动取消的预约是不会从你的 2 台限额里被去掉的；所以如果你约了两台都没去，接下来用同一个身份再预约就会报错。但是这并不意味着就买不成了，因为 (2) 你还可以换个账号换个手机然后证件填上护照号码。当然他名义上写的护照预约是针对外国国籍，但是验证可以通过而且实测也没人管你怎么约上的。如果你就此咨询为什么这个系统这么智障，客服会迂回地告诉你 (3) 先生，我们抢钱是不分国籍的。

PowerShell 那种把一切当作对象的思路，是不是一定比 shell 先进不好说，能少写不少废话倒是真的。刚才要把一个文件夹里所有的 docx 改成 zip（因为这样可以直接把 Word 文档里面的附件拆出来），用 bash 的话我没想到不用循环怎么做，用 PowerShell 就一行 dir | rename-item -NewName {$_.name -replace ".docx", ".zip"} 就完事了

Idk, but the curfew on the outside of my window and the crowd wandering and peeping behind the barricades invoke immediately from my mind this still frame from “Chernobyl.” It’s at the same time awesome and unnerving to witness how a jammed main road can be choked within momen
