Honoured to be invited to the Gordon Research Conference on High-Temperature Corrosion in 2023. The topic of this year is Degradation Mechanisms, Life Prediction and Improved Materials for Application in Extreme Environments, see GRC website. My talk covers recent efforts in bridging experimentation and modelling for lifetime prediction and design against corrosion.

Theory is tough, miss two giants
Went to Nash’s talk back in 2014 when he came to Oxford Union. Colin mentioned Ramanujan once. Miss these two giants.
Snow finally
Nice view of Port Meadow, though it’s meant to be a meadow

Move to the cloud, mark
Decommissioned my 10-years-old server. Moved my home to Ali Cloud. Confs were pretty handy. Mark…
Look at that smile :)
定了一台iPhone 5s
20号12点05分进apple官网定了一台iPhone 5s,space grey,16g,549磅,有点小贵,但第一次用上iPhone,也值了。终于可以不用忍受G7的低效了, 还费我换了触摸屏,算是给备用号码的一个礼物吧。
多了指纹识别,看了wired,小小忧伤。宪法第五修正案又鸡肋了一次。。。
就等十月初的机器了。。。但愿不要让我失望…
My poor server…
华星大厦机房UPS爆炸起火,电源系统损毁。
服务器就这么被硬生生断了电。。。
断网两天,终于上线,可惜速度大打折扣,看样子搬到仓前的数据中心才是王道。。。
Google Code Jam 资格赛
手痒,参加了Google Code Jam 的资格赛。给了25个小时,推荐2个半小时完成,35分晋级,要求很低了,不过真正的比赛在后面。
一共四道题,前两道简单题。第三道完全平方回文数,但要求平方前和平方后都是回文数,到10^100数量级。第四道我用暴力DFS,至少能过小数据,大数据不行(看了一下题解,原来是欧拉图,怎么没想到呢。。。)。
什么图论数论数据结构动态规划搜索技巧忘得一干二净了,权当娱乐一下吧…
