Okay, this is a repeat, but, previously I had thought that the navy seal's motto was
"The easiest day was yesterday."
This statement implies that the training gets easier. Because, on any given day d, day d-1 was easiest. But on day (d+1) the easiest day is d. This means day d is easier than day (d-1). aha, each day gets easier.
I was properly corrected today:
"The only easy day was yesterday."
Which is definitely different.
Day d: the only easy day is (d-1)
Day d+1: the only easy day is (d)
so...... on day (d+1) day (d-1) is not easy having experienced day (d)... Hmmm, so..., seems like the same statement as above.
But still, I recall admiring the training when I heard about the navy seal as a teenager... And certainly, I didn't realize the implicit series until recently, and this realization in no way decrease my admiration for the training.
And of course, I should mention that I also realize that "getting easier" may imply a growth of the trainee, that the trainer cannot keep providing harder and harder days. Which would make sense as well.

To err or not to err
Same old question. Should we throw exception or return error code? In a long running process, what principles should we follow in the design to handle the rare, the expected, and the unexpected?
I've been struggling with this problem for about 5 years now. (shorter than the time I've been writing code)
There are many ways to analyze this, but certainly one way is to look at our goals and costs of achieving these goals.
Okay, so let's drop the act and face the facts: There will be errors and there will be cases that you haven't thought of and murphy's laws are enforced in most industry settings.
The goal is very very important. The goal here is to:
1.) run to achieve the goal of the software
2.) communicate from one piece of code to another piece of code an expected error. (program continues correctly)
3.) communicate from one piece of code to another piece of code an unexpected error. (fail, or continue gracefully)
4.) communicate to operator of program that the program is in need of immediate attention.
5.) communicate to operator of program the total amount of problem (fatal or not) the program encountered in it's entire lifetime.
The cost of these error handling modes are consumed are:
1.) immediate cycles in cpu to generate error message, log to disk, etc.
2.) network/storage costs to store this error.
3.) human attention: oncall receives a message marked "PRODUCTION ERROR!"
4.) machine/human resources required to analyze the log of error and notable conditions.
Considering these aspects may help me to design the error handling system.

Healthcare
A discussion on nationalized health care:
"""
me: Health is a fundamental human right, much like the right to life, liberty, and expression. The US government should protect this right as does to protect these other rights.
him: But competition is the most important mechanism to guarantee efficiency, improve equality, and reduce all negative effects of greed. The only way we can make health care work is if the agents providing health care are put in competition with each other.
me: Well, as you know, the US government provides many basic service to it's citizens (actually to its residents): It spends money to pro-actively protect life through police force and fire companies (that makes effort to protects all residents from death).... It set up roads so people can travel, and do all those other things that people do on roads. This is done because it is recognized (and democratically agreed) that these are very very basic actions made to protect it's citizens and residents. I feel that health, basic health, life protection health care is a basic service. It should be provided for free, like police and fire company, and roads, ....
him: Well, no. The reason why that won't work, is the same reason why so many roads are broken with potholes and police fail to protect it's people, and police brutality and all kinds of injustices. It won't work because there is no competition. The natural selection mechanism is the only thing that will ensure that the best affordable service is provided.
me: Yeah! but precisely because we want to provide very basic service, which does not have a payoff directly to support these services, that it cannot be privatized. There is no way that they can provide that service AND still make money. e.g. paid police? nobody can afford that, and government provides it "at loss" The consequence of privatization is that substandard service will be provided and nobody will be healthy.
him: ...many examples about why competition will bring the bestest and britest out of people...
me: ...same example but change such that the competition forces people to do inhumane things because it optimizes criterion of competition...
him: well! fine! here's why it won't work! The reason why nationalized health care won't work is the same as if you asked the government to provide food for all of its people. They will fail.
me: .......................................................(long silence)...............[[ Mmmm, .......... Hmmmm... I change my mind. I do think governments will fail to provide basic food supply to its people.......... (they certainly have, repeatedly)... such a simple thing... and they fail at it... and health care, even basic health care is a more complicated thing. Hmmm........]] You are right.
him: [[happy with winning argument.]]
me: [[unhappy]] [[murmer in my breath, as Galileo, Health is as basic a right to human just as the earth moves around the sun]]

your silence and my silence
"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends"
-MLKJ.
I will admit, that I am silent more than I should be and often at important junctures. I hope to overcome this shortcoming though...
But, I also hope I will remember your silence and the silence of those around me.

gota talk about that pig cold
Okay, so call me stupid, but why do they call the bird cold "avian flu" but the pig cold "swine flu" Does the parts of speech not match?
The adjective for of or pertaining to pig is "porcine" so..., correspondingly, "porcine flu".
Of course,... they never spoke of "bovine mania",... probably because it sounds like crazy _for_ cows, instead of "mad cows"
YMMV I suppose.

Shakespear's Tombstone
Brilliant even in death:
And if it must be...Good friend for Jesus' sake forbear
To dig the dust enclosed here!
Blest be the man that spares these stones,
And curst be he that moves my bones.
Good friends for goodness sake forbear
To peek the register enclosed here!
Bless be men who spares the load,
And curse be he who mod's my code.

The duality of love (来自肉麻恋爱博客）
"""
One time, a very dear friend told me that she permits her husband, departing for the wild wild far east, to engage in safe sex with other women--with the restriction that he must change partner each night, so that he does not fall in love with them... (so that he does not develop feelings...)
Recently, I've come to a similar decision... Except I told my s.o., who is also afar, that development of loving feelings is not only allowed but highly encouraged with and for other people, except that I have a limit too: that no physical relationship takes place, no exchange of fluids, and minimized touching of skin.

女：真的？［不知道他部下何等陷阱］
男：如果你给我，我想你的泪水，如果你为我哭，你一定爱我。
女：喔［叹！还好，不是太肉麻］

女：你！你！！我就是有羊水也不是给你用地。哼！！［对着他哼地，哼得太用劲，头晕!! 掉头要走，太晕，半回头］

American football (watercooler conversation during deflationary period)
Chinese co-worker to Korean co-worker:
"Do you know why Americans play American football?"
"no, why?"
"Because it's easy to make. If you ever look at a deflated football, it's 4 pieces of rhombus shaped leather sewed together."
"ahhh..."
"Well!, that's not exactly how it's made,"
says one upset normal co-worker listening to the conversation...
"See, your parents are so cheap, they bought you the cheapest football in the store. The higher end ones are actually not rhombus shaped, they have a curvature that makes the football more... football like."
"burn!"
screamed other normal co-workers...

IM-Sex {{adult material!!! 少儿不宜。}}
H:你的白白的小手。。。。
H:轻轻的
H:碰到
H:胆小地
H:渴望地
H:伸过去
H:她的身体颤抖着，期望着
她。。。。
她。。。
有 点冷
也可能是冷得颤抖
你碰到她了
她吓得一跳
她那寒冷地颤抖着的胸脯
你碰了一下但是收回手
她大叫：“不！！！“
”不！！不要离开！！“
她把你的手拉回胸口
用你的手抚摸着
按揉着越来越敏感的。。。
奶头子，
越来越感，期待着爱的奶子
她似乎高潮了
浑身抽筋似地颤抖,把你紧紧地抱着，她的激情包围了你的身体。
[你以为故事完了吧？]
你正准备起床逃脱这个你不想告诉以后男朋友的一刻。
但是她扑象你
用赤裸裸的浑身把你拖回床上
你。。。
你想拒绝
但是又有一股极大的力量
是好奇的力量
欲望的力量
（她的，你的，你们的欲望）
一个你不懂的力量，把你绑再床上
。。。。。。
哦，对了，是她用围巾把你的是手脚绑在床头柜和床档上
然后
然后
她迫不及待的把头埋在你的腿之间。
你
你不懂
她要干什么？？？？？？
二唇，起初，互相调戏着、挤压着、抿含着、玩弄着。后来互相狂吻，热乎乎，沾粘粘。
她在干什么？？？（你的脑袋里大叫着，她在干什么？）
但是，
这个问题很快被另外一个
没有声音的声音覆盖了。
你的浑身
突然慢慢地那热而不觉的熔岩漫到边缘。
浑身都充满了她的滚烫的爱
软了
痒了
出汉了
不！ 不对，不是汉！！
反正，反正，浑身都湿了
更软了
更痒了
更湿了
更！更！！更！！！。。。。。。。
但是！！但是！！！不能，但是！！！
妳
她
妳
她
妳们
!
没有声音了
没有你，没有她，没有妳们了。。。。
只有一床的湿润。。。。。
纯洁的暧昧
温柔地抚摸着
恋恋不舍
难分难解
不想完，要永远永远这样
爱
“爽！！！！！”
她突然大叫
打破了妳那处女初次的陶醉。
“我走了!”
“明天还要上班呢!!”
“什么？？”
你觉得好突然呀。。。。
她怎么。。。
她。。。。难到跟我感觉不一样吗？
但是她已经走了
把妳落潮湿的遗失中。妳在颤抖，但是，这一次，是妳冷了。她不在了
妳冷了。。。。好想她呀。
