Facebook is broken ?

On both my iPhone and Mac, cannot see updates from Friends, just publishers and subscriptions.

This is not the reason I am using Facebook, so too me less than 30 seconds to close it.

Fight Club

Watching the movie “Fight Club” again, trying to find things I did not see before, without checking the internet.

I must admit, that watching the movie puts me in a strange mood. Which makes it even more interesting to watch.

It is good to watch a movie that affect one, not the standard fluff that I forget after 10 seconds.

 

Mother language

I keep thinking about “Mother Language” and what does it mean.

Obviously, my mother language is Hebrew, but is my Hebrew better than English ?

Probably yes, but having spent almost 10 years outside Israel I feel my level deteriorates.

Only this morning when I read poetry in Hebrew I felt that there is a difference. That I am not sure if I can enjoy English/Japanese or Spanish poetry in the same way I enjoy in Hebrew.

 

iPhone Xs Leather Craft case

Got my new iPhone Xs, which means I had to make a new case for it.

This time, a very simple design, little stitching. Which means, I could finish this in less than two hours work.

 

Me against RDMA

In 2005, I was a a Software team leader in Montilio, a company who tried (and managed) to accelerate File server access, by separating control plane from Data plane and making sure the data is not copied back and forth to CPU memory.

What I did not remember was that we were up against RDMA solutions, a technology I now promote. I still think Montilio had a real cool product, but it could not catch up to the fast pace of CPU and storage development.

 

Link to PR

And quote from the CEO:

Companies such as Alacritech and Neterion have attempted to alleviate this burden by using Remote Direct Memory Access and TCP Offload Engines, approaches Tsuk says are more designed to accelerate network traffic than make file processing more efficient.

 

 

 

Job Description Fail

Saw this on Linkedin and I am surprised the Job Description was published this way.

Someone took the company template added a title and published it.

Key responsibilities:

  • Max 5-7 bullet points with a small introduction

etc.

 

A week later, this job description was not fixed on LinkedIn.   Good luck hiring “Max 5-7 bullet points”

Leather Craft Lacing

Trying new techniques to improve my skills and variety of designs I will be able to create.

Plan is for a bag decoration.

Took Picasso drawing of a dove, and transferred it to Leather.

Currently reading 暗幕のゲルニカ, a story about Picasso’s Guernica, relationship with Dora Maar, as well as story about a Japanese woman living in New York. This drawing was mentioned in the story and felt this is a good drawing to try. Simple, clear and famous.

 

Homo Deus in Japanese

Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari was released in Japan.

The ad photo is from the Nikkei newspaper, so I guess it will go on the Best Selling books soon.

I decided not to read it.

Whatever happened to private emails

Was browsing through my gmail accounts and read old emails and realized that I do not get private emails anymore.

It seems most of my communication with friends is done over Facebook and messaging, but I feel it becomes more shallow or maybe even less frequent.

How will my friends respond if I send them emails ? surprise ? Ignore?

I think I will try
