我是一棵不大不小的树
我没有比别的树特别
树干长得一般快
凋落物掉得一般多
我确实是一棵普普通通的树
我没有比别的树特别
期待每日阳光的倾洒
盼望每周甘露的降临
我确实是一棵本本分分的树
我没有比别的树特别
差不多地努力往下扎根
差不多地懒散撑开冠层
我也是一棵风度翩翩的树
我并不比别的树逊色
茂密的冠层支起了山峦
摇曳的枝叶愉悦了清风
我也是一棵独一无二的树
我并不比别的树逊色
家族来自遥远的北方
西方育种辗转至南方栽植
我也是一棵勇敢负责的树
我并不比别的树逊色
鸟儿伙伴栖息的是我
松鼠大哥依靠的是我
请为自己的存在鼓掌
我説很無助 你說會成功
借一場雷雨 換高原追夢
停一停 等一等 別匆匆
糊塗者 重新醒悟 值得去尊重
世界贈與我激動 也贈與我看清
贈我宿命的相遇 也贈予我相思
贈我一場空 又漸漸填滿真感情
贈我一首詩 又悄悄讀得很安靜
我説會走散 你裝作沒懂
借一絲懵懂 驚一片翻湧
追一追 探一探 情正濃
祝福詞 有意無心 反复地唱诵
世界贈與我擁有 也贈與我回敬
贈我心靈的共舞 也贈予我聆聽
贈我一個名 又漸漸長大的年齡
贈我一場病 又慢慢痊癒搖風鈴
我不想回望 你不想憧憬
借一米陽光 拍一張合影
轉一轉 斷一斷 莫伶仃
清醒者 看清内心 願自他安定
$ svn st -uI am using VS Code with WSL and use Miniconda on Windows, what is the best practice for managing Python environments inside WSL?
(answers generated by ChatGPT)
Using a separate Miniconda installation inside WSL gives you the most consistent and manageable Python environment experience (isolated from system Python).
Install Miniconda in WSL:
Follow the prompts to install, and allow it to add conda to your .bashrc or .zshrc.
This is to set up the key once, and then don't need to enter the passphrase every single time:
Use an ssh-agent in WSL with your ssh setup from windows 10 | by Philipp Scheit | Medium
Create new key pair
Use the ssh-keygen command to generate a public and private authentication key pair. Authentication keys enable you to connect to a remote system without needing to supply a password each time that you connect.
To create a public and private SSH2 RSA key pair. To create an SSH key pair by using an algorithm other than the default RSA algorithm, use the -t option. Possible values that you can specify include the following: dsa, ecdsa, ed25519, and rsa. In this case, I use ed25519 algorithm.
After more than five years, I need to set up WSL again, on another Windows machine (yech...see [Windows] The first full crash ever!!!)
It was nice that I documented what I have done back in 2019 in this post: [Windows] Set up Linux subsystem on Windows 10. It was also unfortunate that most of these instructions no longer worked:(
Luckily it is easier. Here is the new instruction: Install WSL | Microsoft Learn
2015年5月起，因学习太极和打坐，买打坐垫开始长期打坐。后来换成比较大的藏蓝色打坐垫（2024年出）。
2015年至2018年间，主要是guided meditation。这三四年越来越习惯散盘或单盘，吃饭也盘，旅游在街边也盘。
2019年到2022年，早晚禅修较多，以左脚在上的单盘为主。
为了将杂乱无章的科研和教学的想法整合到一起，拥有纯文字的体验，我开始尝试Obsidian来记录各种想法。Obsidian的基本形式有点像私人维基。我现在从最简单的开始，熟悉Markdown 语法，建立各种笔记群。
目前还是用的最传统的方式：文件夹。以前在用Evernote的时候采用过序列号numbered notebook，这次也参考了Johnny.Decimal的方法。
然后每一个笔记的标题采用 Date-People-Title-Stage 的格式来排序。
接下来要探索的是tag，还有双链。双链目前因为笔记量还在累计中，用得不多。
当然，最牛的据说是各种插件，且待我慢慢探索。
注意的是，这个无法替代OneNote去和outlook链接，OneNote也比较适合各种截图和标记。其次，可视化方面也无法替代coggle等思维导图的工具（刚好看到一个Coggle 图讲Obsidian）。再次，也不是为了替代roterunner日记本和其他日程提醒、时间管理工具。
另外，最近发现google doc作为组内共享，还是永远的神。
I finally got back to writing blogs. That feeling is good. Nowadays ChatGPT and Deepseek are taking over the white-collar job market. Writing and publishing without being polished by AI is as rare as being naked on the street. However, I like to reserve some little space for me to write nakedly--still write what I want to write, and do not care about the grammar error or typo.
I finally got back to coding. That feeling is even better. I can see things being produced by myself directly. This is a controllable process. Even debugging is quite fun. It is my showtime to solve the bug.
I finally got back to cooking some meals. That feeling is quite amazing. I enjoy the time flow around the water rather than the clock. I made mistakes as well. But that is part of cooking, and anything else. I was so afraid of picking up things that I have not been doing for a while, like meditation, like exercise, like coding, and cooking. This proves again that most of my time is spent in dealing with my inner anxiety and doubt.
I can't believe - just after two months using my new ThinkPad X1, I have not been able to access my File Explorer, Outlook and other Office products, OneDrive and so on since September 3rd.
Our IT support tried different ways to uninstall OneDrive and tried to enter the safe mode, but it was not successful. Then I initiated a recovery update on my PC on September 5th. After an hour of installation, I was no longer able to access my account. (A few days later I was told by the Lenovo support that this is a BitLocker feature). The reset of the pin is not successful because my operational system has corrupted.

| Pin error |
The Lenovo support arrived on September 13rd and helped remove the BitLocker first through my personal recovery key, and then tried to back up some data by manually taking out the SSD and putting it into a reader. After that, they reinstalled a new Windows 11 enterprise on this PC by removing everything from my PC.
The entire process of diagnosis, trials, testing, and fixing takes two weeks. I was under the stress and anxiety for half of the time. The most challenging part is contacting the Lenovo support. I was not so sure what is covered and whether they can come fix the issues given my warranty. During the period, our IT support are fantastic. And a lot of friends provided useful suggestions, such as backing up the data first, and then reinstalling the OS system. In the future, I hope this will not happen, but even it does, I will be less panicked.
Here are some set up resources:
Duplicate OneDrive Folders in Navigation Pane
I recently got a new SanDisk extreme portable SSD, and would like to use it to back up my old PC.
After copying my disk to SSD, I found that a 30 GB on my old laptop becomes a 90 GB on the SSD. It took me a while to understand the reason.
I learned to check the disk allocation unit by going to CMD (administrative) and then type in the following on my PC
>chkdsk d: /f
The format is NTFS
The allocation unit size is 4096 b = 4k
>chkdsk e: /f (SSD drive)
The format is exFAT
The allocation unit size is 1048576 b = 1MB
The reason is that the SSD drive has a 1MB storage unit (mostly for photo and video these days), and it is much larger than 4kb on my PC. For small files, they will take up at least 1MB size in the SSD, which causes the expansion of the space being used.
In the past versions, to start a new project, I need to use New Project from the File menu.
But with the 2024 edition, I need to use Open instead. Otherwise it will create a new folder called PythonProject by default under the existing folder. Here is the guidance.
This change makes some sense, but it is quite difficult to navigate.

In the past, I did not understand the art of writing a title. In fact, now that I gather, the title is the second most important factor for citations, right after being Open Access or not. It is the face of a paper.
A title should tell a story as much as possible. My past titles typically reflects the research goal and method, more descriptive, but then the real question is whether this is the story you want to convey? If your objective is to get people's attention on your novel techniques, then go for it. I am pretty sure this is important in the engineering field. But if you are telling a scientific story, while the methods are just tools for achieving this goal, then the title should be considered a headline for your story.
A title should be as short as possible. Now that if your title is not that technical, then you can shorten it much more easily. For example, you can cut off your data, approach, research scope/region (unless this detail is important).
A title should be as concrete as possible. Sure you want to have a short title, but you can't make it too general and vague. You need to select the most important message from probably 3 highlights and strike a good balance between being too broad and too specific.
It may be a good idea to come up a few titles throughout the writing process. You surely write a title at the beginning and may want to update the title after you have done your first draft. Then communicate with general audience and see their reactions: which one they can get your gist the quickest? which one they will have interest to read further? which one they will consider a good prompt to remember after several months/years?

On Saturday afternoon, I attended the screening of The Plastic Bag Store, one of the events at the DC Environmental Film Festival. The film tells a distinctive tale of the past and future of "plastic". I was deeply impressed by its seamless integration of drama, puppetry, shadow puppetry, cardboard art, as well as real-life characters. A particular scene depicted a quintessential NYC subway setting, complete with iconic ads on top of the seats. It evoked a smile from me, knowing the scene too well. The ocean scene was quite beautifully made, and I wish that part could be longer in duration.
Following the screening, Director Robin Frohardt remarked that artists like her should be free to concentrate on their craft while advocates can dedicate to creating real-world impacts. Sometimes the mundane and didactic documentaries aren't very compelling (although I must admit that My Octopus Teacher is an exceptional film in all categories). But people would love to see touching dramas with strong storytelling abilities that transcend the environmental field and appeal to a much wider audience.
I have to say chatGPT is much more powerful that I can imagine - definitely eye-opening!
I realize the followings when using it:
1. Pay attention to the interrogatives: What/Which/If/Why/How much
2. Give as much context as possible in the question. It WILL understand!
3. It can debug your code at all different levels... This is nuts!!!
Beginner on Argparse. The following are from the Official documentation.
The argparse module’s support for command-line interfaces is built around an instance of argparse.ArgumentParser. It is a container for argument specifications and has options that apply the parser as whole. The first descriptive message for the program is determined from sys.argv[0] or from the prog= argument.
