I went back to Hangzhou on the weekend, and the title picture was taken by the community. I also received the Asian Games flyer from the community before. The Asian Games has little public attention, but as the host city, Hangzhou can see many traces.

This article introduces why it is difficult to speak purely of logic in communication. The author makes an analogy with scientific research. All logical reasoning in science needs to be based on the same axioms in order to communicate. In daily communication, the “axioms” (premises) of the two parties are often inconsistent, and of course they cannot communicate. And inconsistent axioms, whether right or wrong with logical arguments.

The author also gives some communication suggestions at the end.

Both the Mac mouse and the touchpad have a scroll direction switch. They are obviously two setting items, but they are linked. Either both are on or both are off, which is a ridiculous design.

About five or six years ago, after switching to Mac as the main device, I never used the mouse again. But recently, I felt some pain in my wrist when using the touchpad, so I decided to pick up the mouse again.

First, I bought Logitech’s MX Master 3S for Mac for 529 yuan. When I received the product, I felt that the experience was not very good, because it was too big and heavy. I returned the product and replaced it with a Razer Basilisk X Hyper Speed, which is only 175 yuan (the new price is generally around 220 yuan, and I bought the version that has been unpacked), and the size is just right. Then I bought another one and put one in my home and office.
