Oh My Ghost. A year is too long to wait.
Ghost in the Shell is one of my favorite franchises, matched only by the *original* Neo Genesis Evangelion. Conceptually, the a tightly-knotted between physical and digital existence was fascinating. Add to that a deeply political story line, guns, mechas, kung-fus and hacking, it’s irresistible.
邊個咁大膽？！未來凸首都咁搞？

如果開個砌機班有無同學有興趣？由零開始，用來做計量運算或小型伺服器。當然，偶爾攞來打The Division或者Destiny亦難以避免….
Any student interested in a workshop building computers for scientific computing? If course, these rigs are perfectly capable of an occasional match of modern gaming…
美孚睇《十年》，人數比上次《分獎禮》更多！
“Ten Years”, another local-themed movie, played in public. This movie was ran on big screens for only a short duration, perhaps due to the sensitivity of its topic.
《鐵血孤兒》第一季終於播完了。
這套高達的政治戲份十分重，文戲比戰鬥場面還多，當中不少情節更和香港近年發生的事很相似：如「佔領三子」、「維穩」的電視台等。很欣賞劇本對政治的現實演譯：雖然主角們所屬組織鐵華團是典型的正義代表，但身處大時代當中，一路上受盡各大勢力之間的角力影響和利用。我個人認為寫得最好的地方，是一切原來都是由一名野心勃勃，吃盡各家茶飯的藍血建制青年在背後計劃的。這位才俊表面正派，但實則為理想完全「無底線」，至親好友至都可以背叛。最後，這位人兄成為了第一季末的大贏家。這級數的結局，比之前亦嘗試加入現代政治元素的《高達00》高上很多班。
回到今日香港，我會寄語鐵華團團長Orga在最後一戰對一眾團員的講話：「一定要活下去，這刻並非結局！」共勉之。
我有一個夢想：有著用不完的USB手指。
I have a dream—that I’ll will never run out of USB thumb drives ever again.
係傳統銀行不斷裁員之際，計量金融是少數有增長的領域。所以我成日同同學講：一定要識程式編寫，一定要識程式編寫，一定要識程式編寫。（重要嘅嘢要講三次，好似係。）
For students interested in working in the finance field, learning how to write code is more important than ever before.
“[A]s these firms have grown, so has the demand for a new breed of Wall
Street trader — one who can build financial models and write computer code
but who also has the guts to spot a market anomaly and bet big with the firm’s capital.”

Excellent read on how macro-economists have become more reductionist than physicists in insisting on microfoundations.
