Wisdom I Pondered This Week

• “Someone who can’t abandon anything, can’t change anything.” — Armin Arlert, Attack on Titan (進撃の巨人, Shingeki no Kyojin)
• “Without forgiveness life is governed by an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation.” — Roberto Assagioli
• “No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.” — Virginia Woolf
• “Take care of the minutes; the hours will take care of themselves.” — Philip Dormer Stanhope
• Everyone is in some way disabled; everyone can be enabled.

Things I Learned This Week

• 潘文淵獎 是由 潘文淵文教基金會 設立、以台灣半導體先驅潘文淵博士為名的重要科技獎項，旨在表彰在半導體、電子及資訊科技等領域具有卓越貢獻的研究者與技術推動者。此獎被視為科技工程界的最高榮譽之一。
• 幀率/影格速率（Frame Rate） 指一秒鐘的影片含有多少張靜態圖片。測量單位為「Frame Per Second（fps）」。常見的 24 fps 帶來電影感、30 fps 適合一般影片、60 fps 提供更平滑的觀看體驗，而 90–144 fps 乃至 240 fps+ 多見於電競與高速攝影，能降低延遲並保留更多細節。實際呈現的幀率受到「螢幕刷新率（Refresh Rate，Hz）」與設備效能的限制，因此幀率是影片製作、錄影與遊戲體驗中衡量畫面品質的核心指標之一。
• MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a helmet safety technology engineered to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts by incorporating a low-friction slip layer inside the helmet. This layer allows the helmet shell to move slightly relative to the head, thereby redirecting and reducing rotational energy that traditional helmets—focused mainly on linear impact—cannot fully address. By enabling multi-directional movement during a crash, MIPS enhances protection against concussion-related mechanisms while still working alongside conventional impact-absorbing foam. The system is widely used in cycling, skiing, climbing, and motorcycle helmets, offering broader impact protection without compromising comfort or ventilation.
• 櫻桃蘿蔔 (en: Radish, de: Radieschen)：口感爽脆，帶點微辛，根、葉均可食用。
• 《法句經》（Dhammapada） 是佛教經藏中一部重要的經典，全書以 423 偈、26 品的詩句形式，濃縮呈現佛陀最核心的教導。它強調「心（Citta）」的主導性、行為與後果的「業（Kamma）」法則，以及透過正念與智慧得到解脫的修行道路。經中圍繞善惡因果、持戒與善行、心靈淨化與涅槃之道等主題，以簡潔有力的語句展示「如何生起苦、如何止息苦」的佛法核心。
