“Every kid starts out as a natural-born scientist, and then we beat it out of them. A few trickle through the system with their wonder and enthusiasm for science intact.”
— Carl Sagan
我仍然常常感受到亘古的孤独。我想说好多话,可是却没那么多话能说,我的话无法满足我要说的需求,所以痛苦。所以在与人相处时,写下这些话时,心里有无数眼泪流。我想说的那么多话,在我能说出口前已然蒸发、消失、无影无踪,于是我张口时只有沉默不停地冒出来。到最后,叹息也跑了,我只剩下无声的悲恸,这种悲恸几乎将我从内部震碎了。我好想说点什么,好想说点话,好想说。但是如果你看着我,你只能从我的眼中看出求救,你问我怎么了,我只能摇头。我无法说出那些我真正想说却又已经消散了的东西,我找不到,更不知道要怎么才能表达给你,我想把我的喉咙指给你看,把我的心也指给你,你帮我看看那里是不是还停着一些词语,是不是停着一些话,你帮我找一找,找到了我就能说给你听,找到了我就不用再日复一日地求救。
okay, there's a more polite version

RFC 8962 - Establishing the Protocol Police
1 April 2021
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8962.txt
One mantra of the IETF is, "We are not the Protocol Police." However, to ensure that protocols are implemented and deployed in full compliance with the IETF's standards, it is important to set up a body that is responsible for assessing and enforcing correct protocol behavior.
This document formally establishes the Protocol Police. It defines the body and sets out what aspects of IETF protocols they will police. This document acts as a point of reference for networking engineers, law enforcement officials, government representatives, and others.
#showerthoughts the only legitimate drama in software development is blaming someone for BREAKING THE USERSPACE
Sometimes I wish there was a "Why" function on toots in the federated timeline. Just to see why this ended up in my federated timeline.
I need to stop reading politics and back to programming. Just read a blog post about the history of UNIX and its significance to transgender transhumanism, a brief review of the trolls, fascists, and the "alt-right", written by a neoreactionary zealot (obnoxious but answered some questions I had), a satirical website on accelerationism, and more... As a wannabe sociologist, the fun can be endless but It's guaranteed to reduce sanity points and use up all my time and brainpower (insert "it really makes you think" meme) that leaves me nothing to think about things like Karatsuba multiplication or Montgomery Ladder.
Note to self again: Don't read politics in the next 6 months, especially, resist my urge to do a classification of accelerationism in China... Now investigate the performance difference between early reduction and late reduction in bignum multiplication, and should that domestic ideology be named "GFW/ACC" or something? Oh, really need to stop...
