writing

Somehow I feel my idea and imagination limited by my optimism. They plummet once a pessimistic thought strikes my mind. Probably it's a sign that basically my writing is about hopes and dreams.

etika diseminasi hasil penelitian

Seringkali kita mendengar adanya penemuan-penemuan peneliti maupun akademisi di media. Namun ketika digali lebih lanjut kita akan kesulitan mendapatkan informasinya.
Mengapa?

Pada dasarnya kerahasiaan disebabkan karena pertama produknya jelek sehingga malu/takut ketahuan atau kedua produknya benar-benar bagus sehingga takut ditiru. Kita berprasangka baik bahwa yang terjadi bukanlah yang pertama.

Alasan yang sering muncul adalah  kerahasiaan, hak cipta, dan paten. Namun jika penelitian mereka dibiayai negara, bukankah hasilnya milik negara pula? Sehingga diseminasi hasil-hasilnya kepada masyarakat adalah wajib.

That day I never thought that this can be something real. Not even close.

Once in a lunch after a conference, we had a small talk about the political situacion. They have no other choice, either left or right.

People considered the movement as an antisystem. "why don't they just joint a party?" someone critisized when the movement disperse into a neighbourhood assembly. Join? Voila! Now they are themselves a party, the third greatest in the Spain and even almost win in some important province capitals for example Madrid and Barcelona. In other case at least it forces bigger parties to form a coalition.

The latest development of this political coalition still puts the candidates of this movement as rulers in several most important cities in Spain.

network interface booting sequence

Network technologies have advanced a lot. Cross UTP cable is just so ancient. I just knew that cross cable is not necessary to connect two computers via UTP cable directly. Plug it, set the network, and voila done.

However when there is a service that bind to the network address, a chaos occurs. Since the cable only powered when both the computer up, to establish client server set up, we must turn the client first and then the server. Thus when the service in the server up, it detects that network is already up, and set up the networking accordingly. My experience with the setup was with postgresql. When the server up, but without internet connection, the service will be up without support to the inactive network interface. Only after the connection is up and the postgresql is restarted, the service is correctly set up.

This problem can be easily tackled by adding a network device such as a hub. However turning on the client first will also do.

That is if we work with LAN, what about WLAN? To be frankly, I have no idea. WLAN controllers software often work in GUI level. Yes, you can definitely set it up on lower level. Meanwhile services usually boot first, so it must be trickier to arrange the sequence. I think it must be easier to plug a LAN cable to an infrastructure, and let the clients connect there :).
