I've decided to part ways with my physical record collection.
Before putting everything up for sale on discogs I decided I will listen and sit through every record I have.
Going through each brought back many memories of the times I listened to the record the most. It was enough just to take it into my hands, take it out, look at the cover.
I rarely feel anything like that when I play music via digital means.
As if memories _stick_ better on physical mediums.
I hope you and you're family doing okay. This is not an easy thing to deal with. A relative of mine has died because of glioblastoma. He survived 14 months after the diagnosis.
I know this might come as very harsh from me but to this day glioblastoma is a death sentence.
I remember myself and others spending hours on the internet looking for trials, resources, success stories and what not. Later I realized that was just part of denial and negotiation.
He went through 2 operations where the portions of tumor were removed. Each time he came out with sort of personality changes, degradation in cognition.
The only thing that helped was that I scored thc oil - it's illegal where I live - and administered it to the relative just for the sake of better mood and quality of life.
Same techniques for both - the right abstractions, the right app architecture choices and layering.
