Born too late to explore the earth, too soon to explore the galaxy

The question of what I want in life is a defining question I've always struggled to answer. All the knowledge I have, political views, and beliefs will be gone anyway when i die. It doesn’t matter what I want, in the end it just gone.

So why do I care anyway, i already have a job, not a steady one, but it’s enough to pay the bill, to feed me and my family, so why do i need to care about anything anymore? I mean why should I care about climate change, why should I care about global war, why should I care about human civilization can colonize the entire milky way in the near future.

I’ve always loved to watch movies or tv shows about sci-fi, you know like star wars and stuff. It is amazing seeing humans can explore the unknown, creating giant dyson sphere to harvest some star energy, go as fast as speed of light, it’s all amazing.

When humans can colonize the galaxy, they can go from one star to another just blink of an eye, we have infinite amounts of resources, we can feed an infinite amount of people because there’s no such thing as scarcity of arable land anymore because plenty of earth like planet in the galaxy. I think that’s the ultimate goal of my life, to see human advance in technology.

But that sounds like a dream that can only happen thousands of years ahead. There's no way such thing can happen in my lifespan, I am 25 now and only have 50 years or so left. The chance of me seeing humans on another planet is so rare. That’s sometimes I feel I am unlucky to be born too late to explore the earth, too soon to explore the galaxy.

I hope many others also have the same dreams as I am, so if I can't do it by myself, I am happy if there’s another person who can do it for me. It doesn’t matter who colonizes the galaxy first, I will be so proud as a human.

Probably Elon Musk is the person that i really admire. He has the same dream as I am, and with his wealth he is able to create the SpaceX project, and  able to launch the first private company to launch its rocket to Mars. Elon Musk is such a creative ambitious guy, basically whatever he wants in his life he can just flip his hand and it’s happen, is an Iron man or even God.

I’ve heard that Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder also has status as the richest man on earth is also interested in exploring the spaces. He created a project named Blue Origin, but not as successful as SpaceX.

I hope many successful men can join both Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos in space exploration. This is the only hope for humanity, to achieve the next level of civilization, as in the Kardashev scale called Level II civilization, a civilization can use and control energy at the scale of its stellar system.

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234. Although it is recommended to...

Spring Boot is a handy tool that simplifies the development of Spring Framework applications by reducing the need for cumbersome configuration. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a Spring Boot application using the Netbeans IDE. While you can certainly create a Spring Boot application in Netbeans manually, it's much easier with a plugin designed for Spring development. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started: 1. Install the Spring Boot Plugin: Open Netbeans and navigate to the Tools menu. Click on "Plugins." Once the Plugins window opens, select the "Available Plugins" tab. Look for the "Nb SpringBoot" plugin, then install and activate it. 2. Create a New Spring Boot Project: After restarting Netbeans IDE, you can create a new project with Spring Boot. Go to File > New Project. Under Categories, select Maven, then choose "Spring Boot Basic." 3. Add Dependencies: With your new project created, open the po...

Spring Kafka - How to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl...
