‘My Path’ after twenty years
Goliath was pelted with ten million stones every June. It must be painful.
— Me, commenting elsewhere
After the faith fades, the ritual remains.
We still carry stones — not for victory,
but to remember our past goals.
— ChatGPT, mimicking a contemporary
Twenty-two years ago, a college fresher penned an essay titled My Path. She began with a modest line: ‘I don’t consider myself a winner. I am just an ordinary person who keeps growing and thinking.’

During the process of migrating a Conda environment and mitigating confliction, I noticed Bash programmable completion was experiencing an issue when the environment was not yet incomplete. I seemingly showed no curiousity, proceeding to enter the command despite STDERR for the rest of migration. This post was created after that since there are no Marginalia search engine-style sources on Bash programmable completion.

Enhypen Alphabet is a language-neutral spelling system for Chinese characters, specifically for Chinese-derived proper names. It bears less prejudice from Mandarin, as compared to Yuen Ren Chao’s General Chinese and Professor Gu Qian’s Common Sound Systems of Chinese Dialects, where the bias is more or less dedicated.
It serves as a startpoint to ‘Sinicize’ respective for tacit perceptions of characters, which is barely possible for natural languages, stubborn for previous works, and Shidinn leads to the other extreme.

Richard Stallman 不想改变世界。他不想和风车战斗。他不想再造轮子。Richard Stallman 只想寻回他的朋友，他的社群。
这个蓄须的胖乎乎的年轻人，社交关系一直不简单。他总是沈浸在书里，爱解逻辑谜题，总是找不到自己的位置。他喜欢与人交往、长谈和跳舞，可他对数学的兴趣似乎总有些格格不入，尤其是他的幽默常被误解，使人惊愕或害怕。

在某地多年挽留后，厩畍终究迁到了省城。原址铁索横斜，地砖痈疽，草芥疯长，但没完全废弃，仍有居民和移用建筑，因此在某地大抵是排不上号的。小时候与强哥氐强哥𧼮过无数剩三面墙咊覆一层脏的瓷砖的老屋，溛下不规则形状碎屑的石子路，和一个遮着背后街巷的熏黑堡形建筑（便是缔城风丘的原型）。那些地方皆离家不过几百米，不过转过三道弯记忆便流失了，一个孩子的想象中，这些皆在多少梦中俯冲而下的大路尽头，甚至现实的终结，魔法世界的起点。当然那里也是有主人的，若当年便知，恐怕就不如此神秘了。

You may have perceived the title as another clickbait, and the post as a mere ‘2024 review’. The title is the exact word I repeatedly told myself, however, ever since the outcome of my incorrigible decisions this year. I will remember the train returning to Lanzhou, where I stared at the dim wooden bulkhead, sitting huddled and feeling as if fevered. Following the should-have-been-memorable graduation, I viewed no exhibition, applied for no internship, and pushed further no personal projects that is even less viable in the new circumstances.
This should not hinder that the title line is an excuse. I have been giving up giving up all the time. I am conned to believe that I am not facing a choice. Dare call it no choice; that escape to Zion is the only choice.

RIME 给 BYVoid 说是「神级输入法」，这话还在主页耍拉子哩。一看才知是 2012 年写的，发了老半天哩，奈会子黄雀飞做黄码用的都不是 RIME。贾的圈子看的是人人都做编码哩蛮，实际都听梆声哩，隔三间五赶群里「这个方案好，这个以外都不行」或「咨们不直接用那个」，轻飘得很。
切韵拼音有了之后，SyiMyuZya 做了切韵拼音三拼输入方案，和切韵拼音不搭腔。看见奈会一猛子想起挺（人名）的中古三字也是先有拼音。看着两面个文档思谋一下，还是用了挺的方案，scheme 在群里面，没在 GitHub。原 scheme 屏显挺的全拼，用的潘悟云音系，粗奘奘地转写，嫌难看哩，换了音韵地位。选单窄的哩，多字词又长，音韵地位不能一搭写，比方例字 qieyun-js 的写法是来开三祭去，就成个 來ᵏ³祭꜄。

当郑若奎掀开帷帐时，并非如自己无数次想象一般怒不可遏。相反，他带着体力透支时的僵硬与清爽，自己都近乎不察觉手的颤动。绝对的自然法则一旦逼近，薛西斯也只能俯首称臣，放下恋恋不舍的权杖。
保持瓶的传说已在巷议中持续数年。起先是荒诞的故事，此后相信的人越来越多。不过这已不重要了，因为世界的真相不是靠投票决定的，而明天这里就会与其他地方一样，沦为疠疫的鬼城。
