Eye have a spelling chequer,

It came with my Pea Sea.

It plane lee marks four my revue

Miss Steaks I can knot sea.

Eye strike the quays and type a whirred

And weight four it two say

Weather eye am write oar wrong

It tells me straight a weigh.

Eye ran this poem threw it,

Your shore real glad two no.

Its vary polished in its weigh.

My chequer tolled me sew.

A chequer is a bless thing,

It freeze yew lodes of thyme.

It helps me right all stiles of righting,

And aides me when eye rime.

Each frays come posed up on my screen

Eye trussed too bee a joule.

The chequer pours o'er every word

Two cheque sum spelling rule.

I have a Chinese and a Korean song on my phone and a Japanese song on my laptop

Together they make a CJK album

Parable of the Apartment

Once there’s an apartment with 880 million rooms. Every one of the room door is made out of transparent plastic in which everyone can see the room inside. This has been used by some tenants living there to look at their roommate’s in their room as an easy way to help each other (they almost never eavesdrop, as they say).

Recently, the landlord (which had a record of seemingly unable to manage the apartment) had decided to replace all the room doors with an opaque wood one for “mitigating violations of privacy”. This annoyed some tenants who uses them regularly for good, and they put the blame up to the landlord. However, most tenants seem indifferent about it and assumed that it’s a good decision for their own privacy.

Those anti-landlord tenants focus more on their rights (which are reportedly getting worse), rather than their own privacy. They said that this change justifies that the landlord is being ignorant and doesn't care about individual tenants. They also said that they're not aware of malice being done by this vulnerability; even if they do, it's ineffective doing it on the apartment and they would rather do it outside, and in fact they gave reasons why this is a good thing to be left unchanged. Say some tenant lost their room key and they can't see their rooms anymore. If the door is opaque, all hope is lost on at least seeing their rooms. They could ask the landlord; alas the landlord is known to be very slow and inconsistent on responding their tenant's requests.

Question: Is it worth the effort of the landlord? Would leaving the doors actually benefit the tenants living there?

imagine owning an Amiga

/(x*) *\+ *(x*) *= *\1\2|(x*)(x*) *- *\3 *= *\4/g

matches with these strings:

  • xxxxx+xxx=xxxxxxxx

  • xxxx - xx = xx

  • xxxxxxx + xxx= xxxxxxxxxx

  • xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx = x

The reason why video hosting is so difficult back then is because the available network bandwidth back then can’t cope with the huge bitrate that the codecs of the time requires. (this is before CDNs are a thing)

And here we are with YouTube selling users with “better” bitrate from the already acceptable video quality they’re currently using ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
