Barely writing for Five for Friday despite my busy schedule. I think this will be my last note saying we are again around Sengkang Sports Complex. This Wednesday there was a confirmed case of someone getting CONVID-19 just across the street! What could be worst than that. This week is data center week. Performed testing and sorts. Last year Oracle started charging if you have a JRE installed, as an alternative better install Amazon Correto open jdk instead.
Weekend Sengkang
Simple neighborhood feel family weekend...
Walking in the park in parks, walking by the riverside, playing the nearby park, eating in mcdonalds. Peaceful uneventful weekend, despite the ongoing COVID-19 issues. Staying in the community and doing a frequent excerise make us feel safe.
COVID-19 confirmed case within our street
Damn what could be worst than having an infected person just across the street...
Just this week, someone from out street was confirmed to have COVID-19. I hope everyone is ok and safe. We do our best to distance ourselves with other people and sure that we are healthy enough to do our daily work.
Weekends in data center
Ohh work.. work... work... I think with the cold and environment not place to seat, it is a tough place to work into for days...
Another week in the data center as we go to our final strech of cutover next weekend. I do curse the complexity of external systems. Normally this shouldn't be the case.
Finally finish Douluo Dalu Novel
Finally finished the first novel...
Completed reading this short novel Douluo Dalu. The plot is ok and satisfying. If not for the future novels, the ending of this first book is a deal breaker. The growth of the character starting from his past life into the next really build up the main character details. The tranceding to God level is expected but the last few chapters seems hastely done.
Amazon Correto
Oracle do sucks, Switching to Amazon Correto...
Oracle started charging on the use of JRE8 onwards, planning to pay? Hell No! Check out this reddit discussion Confused about java and the new license.
Techlead: Why React Native is Garbage
If your app is simple enough why not build it natively? If it is complex why build it in React which will pose maintenance concern in the future...
Using abstractions to reduce re-work is fine if done right. Developing a project is different from making a prototype, a project will eventually move to maintenance and this is what you need to plan out.
