Strenghtening Your Code

Okay, I think I will stop the emotional entry, three consecutive is a more than enough evidence to prove that we, "immortals", do have feeling. XD

Many projects I have seen had been screwed up with various bugs and flaw. This especially got to do with the not so well designed applications. Further investigation even make it severe! Some part were even taken from example codes tempered with their own code and creating delicious Italian food, spaghetti.

There is nothing wrong with example code. But you should ask yourself, have their code written with good behavior? Many vendors written their code just to make the code readable by common people so people would see the big picture of how to use their library. When it comes to real world, there are more base condition to make.

I am a commoner with Java in hand, so there are some potentially misleading features of C/C++ that were not in Java, such as memory management, pointers, low levels, and many more that Java programmer would know. But, you should be aware that C/C++ is a mid level programming, so you sometimes must think of the machine you are deploying.

Programming in Java also quite challenging. The 40+ MB of JRE making us sometimes must be aware of. Swing and threads also give us some love to think over.

The real abusing about Java is the Exception handling. It was a nice feature, and it still is. Many young darings (except me and few of course, I'm still young, too) abuse it by forgetting to clean any job, roll back any process, etc. Some extend it to a greater threat, making the whole application unpredicted states, making it a perfect nest for Hemiptera.

A tips for Exception handling: You may want to throw it and catch it later, but you *must* catch it anyway. I prefer to catch it on the critical part of the program, usually in a sub module, not the main menu. Sometimes, whether you use your own design or use third party libraries, Exception can be part of the program to handle some predicted flaw. So, it can be used to tell where the wrong etc.

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...

Chivalry vs Feminism

Throughout these years I constantly making experiment about how our society perceive about the societal changes. The overhaul of sexist strata and the privilege reformations follow. Note that every change could be perceived as progress or detrimental to the society. The foremost subject that I run is about the opposite of manliness perceived by the oldies vs modern women. The modern era allow women go out from the kitchen into the office. They can have career and enjoy the privilege that men were exclusively had in years. And, can men also do the reverse? Can men also enjoy the privilege of what women do in the past? Can men move from office into the kitchen? And the answer on this era is: NO. While women could reverse their role, men are not allowed to do the same in this society. Society will punish you when a man tries to do that. They will put a healthy man who chose to be at home dad as an irresponsible not-a-man person. If a woman's worth could be rewritten, why not...
