+Encounters At The End Of The World (2007)
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Rewatched with friends.
+
+
+Hard Boiled
+-------------
+
+So good!
+
+
+The Net (1995)
+----------------
+
+Meh. Very 90s.
+
+
+Subway
+-----------
+
+Fun, aesthetic, but didn't feel like there was much there there. Sort of
+reminded me of Buckaroo Banzai.
+
+
+Pain and Glory (Almadovar)
+-------------------------------------
+
+This was great! Hard to put a finger on why exactly I liked it so much though.
+Obviously much less tranditionally masculine than 8 1/2.
+
+
+Bullitt
+--------------
+
+This has been on my list since J screened "Green Fog" for me at the archive,
+for the San Francisco setting.  McQueen is swaggery, though I expected even
+more aggression from the reputation the film has. The chase scene is wild and
+great. The cafe and SF culture establishing shots were unexpected.
+
+To be honest had to check some of the plot points online after... screen we
+watched on didn't have good audio.
+
+I watched "Towering Inferno" before this, partially for the same "Green Fog"
+motivation, and partially because it features the Embarcadero Hyatt atrium.
+Also features McQueen and a couple other scenes were similar (everybody in
+Pacific Heights is rich and horrible), but Bullitt is much better.
+
+Those blue McQueen eyes!

+---------------------------------
+

+
+Weird, intense. Good? Acting was great. Dialog was hard to understand at times.

+Blade Runner 2049
+=================
+
+Re-watched, held up well. Robin Wright and Jared Leto are great.
+
+
+Serenity
+=========
+
+Re-watched, meh.
+
+
+John Wick (1 and 2)
+====================
+
+A tiny bit cheeky, but mostly just high-budget, well-made, generic action.
+Entertaining if you like watching fight scenes. Airplane films.
+
+
+Some Kind of Heaven
+======================
+
+The documentary about "The Villages", a city-sized retirement community in
+Florida. I expected to be a more direct documentary about the place, but this
+ended up being mostly a series of character studies. Some of the scenes and
+interviews were somewhat unbelievable; were they staged? Especially the
+unremorseful and blunt psychonaut husband.
+
+
+Tokyo Story
+============
+
+Watched with L, B, and C on a trip to the Olympic Penninsula. Many classic
+shots. Slow, thoughtful. Apparently the creators didn't think it
+would get much international reception because it was "too Japanese", but I was
+surprised how universal it felt. Also surprised it was able to be produced at
+all in the near post-war period.
+
+
+Sherpa and Fourteen Peaks
+===========================
+
+Two separate documentaries about Himalayan mountaineering, both pretty good.
+The 14 peaks story is almost unbelievable, and feels borderline foolhardy, he
+just climbs so fast and hard and takes risks to meet an arbitrary time limit.
+
+
+Dune (2021)
+============
+
+Very pretty, some nice scenes, characters, costumes, and world-building. In the
+end felt like just eye candy and "entertainment" though, did not add anything
+special or new to the story telling. This is a finely executed and polished
+film, but David Lynch's version brought a lot more to the table.
+

+
+Incendies
+==========
+
+This was very good, though parts of it were so brutal they felt like a stab in
+the back by the directory/screenwriter.
+
+Black Bear
+==========
+
+
+No Time to Die
+===============
+
+Bond, not particularly memorable. Airplane film.
+
+
+The Grandmaster
+=================
+
+Will watch Tony Leung in anything. The early scenes were fun. Some characters
+were confusingly just pasted in to the film with no other context. Airplane
+film.
+
+
+Suicide Squad
+===============
+
+L liked this so I gave it a try. Was surprisingly enjoyable, especially the
+first 10-15 minutes.

+
+Black Mirror: San Junipero
+===========================
+
+Watched because it gets referenced a lot in pop culture. Decent, but I didn't
+like it as much as the similar (to me) episode with the mortal kombat fighting,
+which had a lot of similar themes.
+
+
+Force Majure (original)
+=========================
+
+I don't know if I liked this or not.
+
+
+Downfall (Der Untergang, 2004)
+===============================
+
+
+Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn
+===============================
+
+Was excited for this, but it was sort of all over the place.
+
+Memoria
+==========
+
+Audio-heavy, with Tilda Swinton. Watched with N, really liked it. Many Great
+scenes. Some later parts were borderline, almost gave up on it, but held it
+together, and I liked it.
+
+Point Break (1991)
+===================
+
+Everything Everywhere All at Once
+===================================
+
+Probably best film i've seen this year.
+
+Parallel Mothers (Madres Paralelas)
+=====================================
+
+Pretty great!
+
+Kimi
+=======
+
+Licorice Pizza
+================
+
+Life in the Freezer (TV)
+=========================
+
+The Batman (2022)
+==================
+
+Severance, Season One (TV)
+==========================
+
+Started well, has some great twists, and the premise works well. But very
+little gets resolved, feels like a setup for a long series.
+
+The Host
+========
+
+Wrath of Man
+============
+
+Generic action, entertaining.
+
+The Eight Hundred
+=================
+
+Melodramatic Chinese WW2 war film set in a building in Shanghai right next to
+the international quarter. High budget, bloody.
+
+
+Police Story
+============
+
+Light and funny, lots of physical comedy.
+
+
+The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)
+==============================================
+
+The "Nick Cage playing Nick Cage" film. Not as good as hoped.
+
+
+Strangers on a Train (1951)
+============================
+
+Not as tight and good as some Hitchcock, but pretty memorable.
+
+
+The Gray Man (2022)
+=====================
+
+Ryan Reynolds, generic action film. Large budget, but didn't feel very
+glamorous. Silly, but also sort of trying too hard.
+
+
+For All Mankind (TV, 2022 Season)
+===================================
+
+Big budget, Apple TV, speculative fiction slash alternate history. Decent
+mainstream TV, mostly character driven.
+
+The Wind Rises (2013)
+=====================

+2021-11-21 - Mt Towsend (Olympics)
+==================================
+
+With Lu, Brian, Christie.
+
+Worked out surprisingly well for second half of November! Prior week had some
+rain/snow in the region and was worried about snow on the route and summit, and
+also cold temperatures.
+
+Road up was mostly not bad. Long paved forest road with just a bit of unpaved
+pot holes at the start. Towards the top (over 2,500ft?), road started having
+some snow, but mostly the wheel tracks were clear. After the turn-off for the
+upper Townsend trailhead, the road got pretty snowy and even ice-y. Was spicey
+in Honda Fit, and no way to turn around, but made it without any close calls.
+
+There was snow at the trailhead, but only a couple inches. It turned out there
+was "a couple inches" basically from the trailhead to the summit, from 3,300ft
+to 6,200ft. Was worried there would be a couple feet based on trailhead, but
+was not the case. There were a couple slippery/icey/melty bits, but microspikes
+were fine and could have made it without. Top was fairly windy, but not very
+cold, and got sunny at the end.
+
+Beautiful dusting of snow on deep forest at the lower bits, then pretty clear
+snow/rock views from the summit. Could see 5 volcanoes (Baker, Glacier Peak,
+Rainier, Adams, St Helens), clouds over the sound, Pt Angeles, etc. Pretty nice
+day!

+Shasta is tall! 14,179ft, almost as tall as Rainier.
+
+Recommendations: alpine starts (hiking ~4-5am), helmet, avalanche
+beacon/probe/shovel.
+
+Best times: May through mid-July. 2019 seems like it will be below-avegage
+snow, but not bad, and better than the recent droughts.
+
+4:40 hour drive from San Francisco (downtown).
+
+### Avalanche Gulch Route
+
+Most popular. Start at Bunny Flat trailhead (6940ft), which is plowed/clear all
+year (!).
+
+### West Face Route
+
+### Clear Creek Route (East Side)
+
+This route is actually pretty appealing, sounds like fewer people take it in
+early season. The main risk/issue would be road access in the snow. Seems less
+avalanche dangerous, which means a snowier/earlier attempt would be possible.

+Six Fixes:
+
+- Right To Download
+- Right To Delete
+- Limits on Behavioral Data Collection
+- Right to Go Offline
+- Ban on Third-Party Advertising
+- Privacy Promises
+
+Later rephrased:
+
+1. The right to examine, download, and delete any data stored about you. A time horizon (weeks, not years) for how long companies are allowed to retain behavioral data (any data about yourself you didn’t explicitly provide).
+
+2. A prohibition on selling or transferring collections of behavioral data, whether outright, in an acquisition, or in bankruptcy.
+
+3. A ban on third-party advertising. Ad networks can still exist, but they can only serve ads targeted against page content, and they cannot retain information between ad requests.
+
+4. An off switch on Internet-connected devices, that physically cuts their access to the network. This switch should not prevent the device from functioning offline. You should be able to stop the malware on your refrigerator from posting racist rants on Twitter while still keeping your beer cold.
+
+5. A legal framework for offering certain privacy guarantees, with enforceable consequences. Think of this as a Creative Commons for privacy. If they can be sure data won’t be retained, users will be willing to experiment with many technologies that would pose too big a privacy risk in the current reality.

+`complex64` and `complex128` are built-in numeric types. `rune` is also built-in.

+All types have a "zero value" which they are automatically initialized with if

+## 2020-05-17 Reading
+
+While working on fatcat-cli tool, checked the The Rust Programming Language
+book to read about trait objects and the `dyn` keyword, which I had ignored
+previously.
+
+They seem like they could be used in a few places in fatcat-server rust code.
+We don't particularly care about per-function-call performance there, and most
+entities are already allocated on the heap.
+
+Other small syntax and thing learned:
+
+Can copy a struct while only updating specific fields with ".." syntax. Might
+use this in fatcat-cli for update mutation.
+
+This is the cleanest example of using ErrorKind that I have seen:
+
+    let f = match f {
+        Ok(file) => file,
+        Err(error) => match error.kind() {
+            ErrorKind::NotFound => match File::create("hello.txt") {
+                Ok(fc) => fc,
+                Err(e) => panic!("Problem creating the file: {:?}", e),
+            },
+            other_error => {
+                panic!("Problem opening the file: {:?}", other_error)
+            }
+        },
+    };
+
+I didn't realize that test code may get compiled into non-test binaries unless
+annotated with `#[cfg(test)]`. You are supposed to create a sub-module within
+each `src/` file with unittests, like:
+
+    #[cfg(test)]
+    mod tests {
+        use super::*;
+
+        #[test]
+        fn it_works() {
+            assert_eq!(2 + 2, 4);
+        }
+    }
+This doesn't apply to `tests/` directory, which is for integration tests.
+
+The common pattern for binary crates (vs. library crates) is to have `main.rs`
+and `lib.rs`, with any code that needs to be tested in `lib.rs` (aka, all the
+actual logic).
+
+I think I knew `eprintln!()` (for stderr) vs. `println!()` (for stdout), but
+good to remember.
+
+There is a description of how to avoid memory leaks with reference counting
+using "weak" `Rc` references. Probably worth reading the [entire chapter on smart pointers](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch15-06-reference-cycles.html#preventing-reference-cycles-turning-an-rct-into-a-weakt)
+(including Box, Rc, RefCell) again.
+
+For the `Sized` trait, and `Sized` trait alone, can specify an ambiguous trait
+constraint with `?` to indicate "may or may not be Sized", which doesn't really
+mean anything but does explicitly allow generic functions over non-sized traits
+like:
+
+    fn my_generic_func<T: ?Sized>(t: &T) {
+        // --snip--
+    }
+
+A trait can depend on another trait. For example, a PrettyPrint trait could
+rely on Display (and impl functions could call functions from Display). This is
+done on the trait definition line. Such a trait is called a "supertrait".
+
+Implementing Deref on a wrapper type allows transparent access to all the trait
+methods on the interior object.
+
+Also, a new longer post on error handling: <https://nick.groenen.me/posts/rust-error-handling/>

+How to sign a PDF on Linux
+===========================
+
+First, you need a transparent image of signature, eg as a PNG file. Android
+works pretty well for this: you can sign a blank piece of paper, take a
+photo, and clean it up. Then can use gimp if necessary to remove background
+and make a transparent image.
+
+NOTE: if text import isn't working, need to go in preferences and change input
+type (!), see also <https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/issues/2035>.
+
+To edit PDFs, use `xournalpp`, which is a GUI tool packaged in Debian. You
+can add text and paste images, then export as PDF.
