I don't know the internal of VOA or BBC or China Daily. I think you agree there may be bias in each media. When we analyze data with extreme values via programs, we use mean or median values and get rid of the extreme values. I think the genocide accusations are some extreme values and I don't trust them. I just post the different sources with different views on the topic. One of the source is from China Daily, and the other source is from a French author. I think hearing from different sources make us have a clearer view on the topic.

I used Typora to keep a to-do list almost every week (I planed to do it everyday, but failed). The to-do list history showed what I did, where I was and what to do. It makes me don't forget to finish assignments. It makes me do things in priority. It turned out to be valuable when my leader asked me to feedback what I did in this year. I cannot recall that many things I did without the journal I kept.

What about Protobuf? It seems to me it is lightweight than xml and asn.1, though heavyweight than json, but it suits most of the case.

If JSON has JSONPath and JSONSchema. It looks like it is another XML, then.

I like the ideas of your text editor, that is for writers other than developers.

I would like the features of editing math equations, ways to draw simple pictures etc except for simple Markdown support.

I use Bing to search technical and English contents. I think Bing is better than Baidu on this point. I think google is better than Bing, but I cannot use google naturally in China.

(1) I'm working on simple programming language, like forth, but in Chinese. It may also control a tortoise like logo. Just for fun. http://qinmishu.org/static/wangbalang/repl.html

(2) I also created an illustrator software called Suosuoban. It is an illustrating tool that allows you to express your ideas by drawing pictures quickly on computer screen. I think the most important feature that discriminate it from others is "bubble clusters". It is an opensource software, find it in https://github.com/henryscala/suosuoban.

Qihoo 360 and Go 11 years ago

I am a user of Qihoo 360 softwares like Cloud Storage and Mobile Phone management etc.

In the past(Probably 6 ~ 7 years ago) Qihoo had bad reputation, because it once made its softwares like virus that the user cannot un-install them for competing with the competitors.

After that, I think the company has changed its behaviors that it started emphasizing user experiences. And it also developed an anti-virus and anti-spyware software to be used by the user for free. The company changed the business of anti-virus and anti-spyware softwares in China.

Now I think the company is an good innovative company in China.

I think the multi-homing feature of SCTP is not so useful. It adds a layer of complexity without so much gain.What do you think of it.

1) It makes the SCTP header complex. Without it, IP address in IP header is sufficient. With it, IP addresses have to appear in SCTP header too.

2) Multi-homing makes it difficult to configure firewall rules, for example NAT(Network Address Translation). Linux tools like iptables, LVS(Linux Virtual Server) do not work well with it.

3) I think the benefit of multi-homing can be gained in Network-layer or Data-Link layer instead of transport layer, for example network interface bonding, etc. It relieves the complexity of the application in this way.

I must iterate:" I’m taking a 3000-foot perspective here, it is still a far away perspective although less a 0 than the author, and whatever I’m writing could be completely wrong. If that’s the case, please point out my mistakes in your comments."
