Hi-Tech People in The Dark Age

Surely we can create a new world with current's trend. We can juggle and rampage all the old stuff, put them in trash and move forward. But, the world is an environment, i.e. many elements are built into unity.

How many of us see the fallen of technologies? How many rollercoster project sum up in a great catastrophy? Well, I'm sure each of us see at least one or two.

Technology is a great tool to achieve greater possibility while gaining effectiveness. This of course hold true if the one using it knows how to utilize it. That's why we have cause and effect analysis. We also have many methods to justify its needs and how it will have break even. We have many SDLC methods to ensure the project can be built with effective ways and can ensure the project will deliver in time.

But, can the rigid methods ensure the software of being successful?

Blizzard, many MMORPG companies, and FOSS specialist have shown us that there is more than a project managing to have a successful software. You need other people to share ideas. A fan-based product, a customer-based solution is needed to get people interested in your product.

Surely Apple Mac was a dying loser competing with IBM PC. Its proprietary and bundled solution didn't compete with the PC-compatible that became vastly accepted and industrialize by 3rd party vendors. In turns, those 3rd party vendors have their joining effort to standardize the use of computer. In the end, when people say computer it means a PC.

Now, when the project is successful and the end product is delivered in a good time, why it can't penetrate the market?

When we had a discussion with a chip vendor, we get three steps in question:
1. How to implement the technology?
2. How to fund the technology?
3. How to run the technology?

Well, after a while I realize that there is another step that was missing:
4. How to socialize the the technology?

Apparently, no matter how sucks you are at answering question #1, #2 and #3, you will end up winning if you can answer the 4th question correctly.

Even if you have a breakthrough or something that would make this world would never be the same again, you will end up being a loser if you don't have people that using it.

Again, technology is a tool like scissor. How can a man fond of a scissor if the man don't know how to use scissor? Make the scissors implemented in the hand of a man and let him attached to it.

    nice.

    if you want a never-boring game, total customization is an absolute have. we already see many classic not-so-shiny games survive through the ages.

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...
