Hillbilly Elegy

I got to know the word 'Hillbilly' from a newsletter [https://otterletter.com/wwjdd/] (Korean only). Frankly, as a new migrant, it is so hard to catch the nuance of such words; I might just learn or acknowledge it. But the story of J.D. Vance caught my

Higher-Order Function in Go

I worked as a front-end engineer in the early days of the current company. We had used Angular [https://angular.io] for the time being and moved to React [https://reactjs.org]. React was a framework that actively used higher-order functions. I always have thought Javascript is the most "

49ers

San Francisco 49ers won again. Following the last week's insane 0-sec wildcard win, Robbie Gould's last time 45-yard field goal snatched the win and made the team proceed to NFC Championship. I had been whining about Jimmy G throughout the game (and it shouldn't

I'm usually saying to my acquaintances that my religion is Apple - half in fun, but I believe it would be a better religion than Jediism; yes... quite debatable, I know. I prefer a homogeneous environment and have filled my personal and work environment with Apple devices. I

Microsoft buys Activision Blizzard in a $68.7B deal [https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/microsoft-buying-activision-blizzard-in-68-7b-deal] . It shouldn't be only me who was thrilled by the news of this morning. Two words for me: Blizzard and 68.7B. The anticipation that the once greatest but strayed studio might return

The Problem

I'm not sure how many people are enjoying Apple TV+, but there are a lot of gems. Recently, my favorite show is "The Problem - With Jon Stewart." [https://tv.apple.com/us/show/the-problem-with-jon-stewart/umc.cmc.4fcexvzqezr25p9weks6sxpob] The show pounds bitter criticism on America'

New MAX!

My company had a two-year laptop replacement policy for engineers. So, I had my chance to replace my laptop and got a new MacBook Pro 16" with M1 MAX (10-core CPU, RAM 32G). M1 had been in the spotlight since its last year's debut, and M1 Pro
