What's New - Vol. 10

The information here is probably useless, as it is created to help me orgnaize my ideas. However, I would be very glad if it helps someone.

Wedding

Eh, it is not me. However, lots of my friends/schoolmates helds weddings recently. I felt quite weird. Personally, I cannot understand why they get married that early, when they are about 25+ years old.

In my opinion, marriage brings lots of trouble and only provides limited benefits. After getting marriaged, the cost of break up is much expensive than before. I have to care about the distribution of wealth, and worsely children if we have. In addition, I have to have lots of discussion with my parents and parents in law to explain why we break up.

Even if we won't break up, there are lots of restrictions in marriage. For example, I have to think of stuffs by the unit of a family. If I get a wonderful job, but I have to relocate to another city, then the trouble rises.

And with all inconvenience above, the only benefit is that you can have babies legally. And you don't need to fear of your husband/wife leaves you suddenly as the law protects you. I don't like that. I am kind of an idealist. It is kind of ridiculous, but, for me, the ideal relationship between me and my beloved is that, we have right to break up the relationship whenever we find the other is not attractive enough. And to avoid that, we will try our best to be a better one to avoid losing the other. It is just an idea and never comes true though.

I hope my friends marry with clear minds, and don't regret their choices. I hope they enjoy their current life and current relationship, which leads them to get married and get stable naturally. I admire that life if it is so.

The worse case, it may be misattribution of arousal, or fear of the future. As the economy is terrible recently, I believe every one's life is affected less or more. The economy and politics is so unstable that people try to get married as a way to stablize their life. Such marriage may lead to break up possibly in my opinion. I hope I won't be forced to do that in the future.

Anyway, as someone who prefers live alone and satisfies the life being single, it is a good experience to how friends' marriage life will become, before I get married someday.

And for sure, it is not necessary to take marriages that important nowadays. Though the cost of divorce is expensive, we can still break up and pursue others.

Or, maybe the cost of divorce from their perspective is very cheap. Who knows.

Economy

It was said that Japan approves $141 billion stimulus to boost economy.

Under the new economic package, the government will give cash handouts of ¥30,000 to low-income households as an inflation-relief measure, with an extra ¥20,000 per child to be given for families with children.

Compared to that, China gov hasn't release any good stimulus plan for its residents. I am very disappointed.

Programming

My shell setup is zsh + zinit + pure for a very long while. It works well in my Arch Linux. However, the setup lag is longer and longer in my work laptop recently. I believe it is caused by something like nvm, rvm, pyenv. I hate these environment managers.

Finally, I migrated to powerlevel10k. The startup time is unbelievably fast. I would strongly recommend it to every developers.

In addition to that, I dropped zinit totally, as I found I could install plugins myself by git submodule and then source them myself. I only use a few plugins, zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-completions. It is not necessary to involve a manager for that.

Now my setup becomes zsh + p10k, without any plugin managers. I had used them for one week. The experience is quite good.

Addtionally, I wrote a simple script to symlink my dotfiles from git repo to home directory before. I found Arch Wiki introduced a very good way to take the home directory as git repo directly. The result looks good after I migrated to that.
