An Extreme Enjoyment of Sport

[WARNING: ACTIONS WRITTEN AT THIS ENTRY IS PERFORMED BY PROS. DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO COPY ANY ACTION PERFORMED IN THIS ENTRY]

What is life? What is a colorful life?

Many people asked about it themselves, but some take it seriously. It takes courage. It takes risk. Sometimes, it takes life itself.

Extreme sport. Some say it is an act of foolishness. To find danger as an ecstasy. To put life as a bet to win supreme satisfaction.

Be it a mountain biker, a hiker, or even snorkel around sharks. All of them produce high adrenaline. All of them also create enjoyment of life.

Another sport yet to discover is exists among us. It doesn't even mentioned in ESPN, but it has a notorious reputation.

It is a sport with adrenalin. Race against time just like parachuting. To risk each second of your life just like a surfer looking for the right tube.

All of them are the same. It is a perfection of life. Some even say it is a lure against all perfectionist.

Only the different is, when you doing all other sport, you'll find yourself dead for good. While at this, you will be dead at the rest of your life until you could catch another wave.

This extreme sport of what I'm talking about is procrastination.

Feel the adrenaline, feel the trembling as hours go by.

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

Installing Goodix Fingerprint Reader Driver on Fedora

I currently have a Lenovo Thinkpad L14 laptop equipped with fingerprint. I was `belok` from KDE Neon to use Fedora 40 because of someone. Now I am tempted to enable my fingerprint: lsusb | grep -i fingerprint Bus 001 Device 004: ID 27c6:55b4 Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. Fingerprint Reader Dump the firmware Assuming this is a fresh install, lets do some magic by getting some dependencies: sudo dnf install gcc git python-pip python-devel openssl Let's get the source code: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/goodix-fp-linux-dev/goodix-fp-dump.git cd goodix-fp-dump Create an isolated Python environment: python -m venv .v source .v/bin/activate Do the magic: sudo su pip install -r requirements.txt python run_55b4.py exit There are some python scripts available. I run run_55b4.py because my device ID is 27c6: 55b4 . It will spell some nonsense, which is a good thing. That nonsense actually the firmware captured by our device. Also, I typed exit becaus...

F(N)AQ

After attending the INAICTA, Indonesia ICT Award, I am a little upset. Yeah, I know I shouldn't, we have just been selected to become one of the grand finalists. But, still... I wish people would have Frequently Asked Question about research and development: - Cool, how do you develop that? - Can I have reference of your works? - Hmm.. the technology, can this implemented on x stuff? - I have a great idea, bla.. bla.. bla.., what do you think? - If I'm trying to develop another project, what should I do? - What problem could be solved by this? - What is the future of the project? Yet, those become Frequently [Never] Asked Question. What's wrong with you people? Why I'm suddenly feel ashamed to be an Indonesian? Isn't research about the long term investation? I know that few of them were invitation to work with us. But, why not a single quote I heard about the research? Why people always asking us about the money stuff? Am I wrong, or most of the people can't us...
