I learned to be more patient when upgrading to the latest OS. The other day I updated to the latest Big Sur. I noticed that there was no indication of how long the installation will take on the screen so I shut my mac down. It then went on a startup loop until I decided to reinstall the OS.

I wrote a very long blog article The Reality of NDN Video Streaming about my "NDN push-ups" website and how well (or not) video streaming works over Named Data Networking global testbed network.

During this process, I learned:

  • how to process newline-delimited JSON documents using Python ndjson package
  • more advanced features of the jq command, such as variable binding and defining functions
  • plotting with Chart.js

I had an idea about building a platform, where people post a link about an article they like, and then people upvote that and talk about it.

I had this idea WHILE BROWSING HACKERNEWS. so that was fun

Not a new learning exactly but I reaffirmed my belief that communication skills are just as important if not more important than technical skills to perform well at any job
