Live forever!

.

He attributes his lifelong habit of writing every day to an incident in 1932 when a carnival entertainer, Mr. Electrico, touched him on the nose with an electrified sword, made his hair stand on end, and shouted, “Live forever!” It was from then that Bradbury wanted to live forever and decided his career as an author in order to do what he was told: live forever.

人生, 是一個解決問題的過程;

感情, 是一段共同解決問題的經歷.

當兩人再沒有共同解決問題時,
感情就會漸漸消失.

如果, 要維持一段感情, …

Learning physics online?

Posted on by

事業愛情觀 3

   
It always makes me laugh when people hope they can learn physics online. Yeah, sure you can, just as you can learn languages online but you’re not going to be articulate compared to someone that is on a full time course. They live physics for years with like minded people, day in, day out. If you want to learn physics the same way someone learns a foreign language by carrying around a translation dictionary because they lack the effort required, then go right ahead. Just don’t delude yourself in believing you can know what a graduate physicist knows.

Let me put it another way:

A physicist on a full time course might spend at least 50 hours a week learning about physics. How much time do you have to spare?

Marriage

Process, not a state, 8

Marriage is not a single event. Marriage is a lifelong process.

“Married” is not a state, but a process.

Backward compatibility, 5

Posted on by

To enjoy the past without limiting your life progress, install the past as virtual machines in the present. 

— Me@2013-02-24 2:50 am

The attraction of virtualizing older operating systems is that it throws off the eternal yoke of backwards compatibility. Instead of bending over backwards to make sure you never break any old APIs, you can build new systems free of the contortions and compromises inherent in guaranteeing that new versions of the operating system never break old applications.

“Brilliant marketing play”

Maybe, but where the idealism gone? Both on HN, in tech circles, and, yes, at Google, there was some healthy dose of idealism. You know, this thing that make people do thing for something else than money, for the better good of humanity for example.

Idealism (and anger) brought us Linux, Vim, the Web, etc.

Panaceas

Posted on by

Health care providers often call exercise the “miracle” or “wonder” drug — alluding to the wide variety of proven benefits that it provides.

— Wikipedia on Physical exercise

Doing physics (for my mind) and doing physical exercises (for my body) are my panaceas (for health).

Learning anything is like learning language — you cannot learn a language by just reading books or dictionaries.

點滴累積

— Me@2007.09.19

Language courses are an anomaly. I think they’re better considered as extracurricular activities, like pottery classes. They’d be far more useful when combined with some time living in a country where the language is spoken. On a whim I studied Arabic as a freshman. It was a lot of work, and the only lasting benefits were a weird ability to identify semitic roots and some insights into how people recognize words.

Learning math and physics takes a whole lifetime. Luckily, it’s a lot of fun… if you have a reasonably patient attitude.

Two dimensional time 3

二次元時間 3

儲存 save

~ timeless

~ transcend time 

— Me@2013.02.09

If you keep doing timeless things, every event exists not just at a particular point on your timeline. Instead, it exists on the whole timeline.

In a sense, you are living a two-dimensional history, because you are not just considering the progress along the timeline, but also the progress of the whole timeline itself.

Over

over ~ finished ~ transcended

— Me@2013-02-01 01:54:02 PM

Finishing is one of the two methods of transcending. For example, once you have earned enough money, you would never have to worry about money anymore.

Finishing is more time-consuming and should be avoided if possible. But sometimes, it is necessary.
