👨🏻‍💻 3 types of mono-repo: A. 2+ public packages, all with different publish schedule + version B. 2+ public packages, same publish schedule + version C. 1 public packages + some private packages A and B seems turning distributed systems back to centralized. Difficult to tame.

🎥 Despite I shoot in SDR, turning them to HDR before coloring feels like processing in floating point vs. integer. The upper ceiling no longer crops out brightness. I wonder how LUT works, they are literally a cube of 0-255 translating RGB values. HDR don't exactly use RGB. 🤔

🎙️ Mid-side recording is fascinating. I can postprocess stereo width simply by adjusting gains of mid vs. side microphones. L = M + S, R = M - S. When combining L + R, it become M, meaning it become the original mono image.

👨🏻‍🏫 (80% correct) HDR means unlimited brightness. Things can look brighter than #FFFFFF. Content use a brightness value than 0-255. And brightness is standardized across monitor vendors. Thus, your monitor gave up brightness control. The content controls it, including your OS.

💼 "Did you take some rest after Build conference?" Yes, I cleaned up some chores in my open-source projects. Honestly, I am truly glad that I cleaned up something stuck in my head for long. More to come.

👨🏻‍💻 Bing Translator is slowly stealing my heart because it supports Cantonese (Yue). I have seen a few times that the result from Google Translator gets hijacked for political purpose.

👨🏻‍💻 Most cloud services should come with local/dev server, preferably as a container for orchestration. Devs will pay because of hosting, scale up/out, DR, redundancy, SLA, etc. These are very difficult tasks and have more business values.

👨🏻‍💻 Azure Web PubSub can do direct client-to-client comms but it won't work on anonymous connections. Need better docs. REST API to send message and webhook + CloudEvents for receiving messages is nice. It should add Server-Sent Events because WS reconnection is not trivial.

👨🏻‍💻 Web Crypto API is learnt-once-use-everywhere with built-in support from Node.js 18. 👍🏻 that I can define extractability and key usages. Azure Key Vault shares similar concepts. Wonder if anyone done building Web Crypto API-alike for AKV.

👨🏻‍💻 Azure Functions for Node.js v4 API is easy and quite recitable. Using configurations from ZIP deploy is better than UI.👍🏻

Got my Windows Dev Kit 2023. Perf is very good. No issues with WSL2 + Node.js + VSCode + Terminal + Discord. OBS is slow but understandable. No Docker Desktop. get.docker.com seems work, didn't try. I don't need Adobe, just Figma. Everything works very well for me.
