Podcasts save you

In my second year of college, I got an iPod Shuffle and happened to open the podcast page in iTunes. I didn’t know what “podcast” mean but I finally downloaded several episodes and listened to them. Not very impressed. I just leave them alone.

At 2013, Zhihu, a copycat of Quora, was still a not well-recognized but pretty friendly online community. On it, I saw the IT公论 (IT Public Discussion) and began my journey of podcasts. I listened to the IPN podcasts and subscribed to more podcasts.

A long time passed, I can’t remember how much time I have spent on podcasts. It’s really fun. I highly recommend the Pocket Casts or Castro. These are great apps and give you more freedom compared with the traditional platform as Chinese Lizhi or Ximalaya.

I recommend following podcasts.

Following are in Chinese.

There are many great podcasts.

Recently I found a great open-source tool/library DHI Tools to process the DHI MIKE 21 data file. It contains great Jupyter notebooks as examples. The experience is great and free of charge. It should be known by more engineers who use those software and improve their working flow.

Today a colleague asked me if I was logging on a workstation remotely when I was not. She got the answer and asked others. I thought there must be a tool or method to check the remote login status without logging in via remote desktop.

I bought the domain name on Godaddy in April and tried to deploy wordpress initially and then jekyll on a VPS, but the speed is quite unstable and I abandoned. Eventually I use github pages as a solution.
