North Atlantic by Yann Tiersen. A beautiful and very simple song in the typical Tiersen style. P.S. The boxes in the background – we are getting ready to move somewhere nearby in January, though the exact location is still unclear.

The reality of COVID-era series: I ended up watching the new episodes of “Euphoria” – with Zendaya and the young drug-addled America. There were no subtitles, which, coupled with “street” slang and often unfamiliar African American English, made it challenging, but — for almost the entire hour-long episode, the characters just sit in a restaurant and talk. Nothing else happens. Not almost nothing, but literally nothing. They converse intelligently and beautifully, but only between two of them (Rue and Ali, with a third joining sporadically, but just episodically)
Such are the series in the times of COVID

Reading about sugar production. The process of purifying sugar juice from impurities in sugar production is called defecation.
Live with that now.
Winter has begun here as well. Just a couple of days ago, it was plus 15.
There is something wrong with the fact that a stalemate in chess due to “I can’t move anything” is not considered a loss for the one who can’t make a move.
This is what six-story (5+parking) wooden buildings in the USA look like. It’s the building next to mine. It’s being constructed quickly; recently, a building marked on Wikimapia as something secretive from the CIA was demolished there.
The only interesting thing here is that before moving to the US, I didn’t know that such large huts could be built out of wood. Turns out, they are also durable.
Here are various technical details outlined https://www.awc.org/pdf/education/des/ReThinkMag-DES515A-MultistoryWoodConstruction-140210.pdf
“Flash support will be completely phased out of all browsers by the end of 2020.” Interestingly, an online school machine uses Flash for part of its materials. And in general, quite a lot of educational software for schools still requires Flash. I wonder, will all this just be scrapped outright? Or will there be a special browser build where Flash is supported? Or has someone already hustled and created a converter to some technology that can still be supported, like something based on JavaScript? Flash downloads will disappear from the Adobe site, but people won’t stop Googling and downloading installers from the first places they find online. It’s interesting, why didn’t Adobe just sell this technology to someone who could have sustained it?
