The members of trial teams "Hokkyoku-Ramen fund" sent me some comments by E-mail.

I would like to open their comment every day.

======================= From ======================

I am Kiyama.

I might have scrapped Mr. Ebata's identification about 0.01% only.

By the way, I would like to apply to you for

"Hokkyoku-Ramen Fund ( Ebata's fund, so called)"

--------------------------------------------

- Content of application

"Eating-up of half Hokkyoku-Ramen and half MoukoDon bowl"

- Evidence of photo

See the following folder

- Consideration of this trial

Delicious as "habit forming"

No hope to the next

Feeling stomach ache

Our boss is great

======================= ここまで ======================

Even what types of event, submit the report with evidence properly, briefly and precisely on the next day.

We are research engineers.

(Continuation from yesterday)

We can hardly say with any finality that

Above all, "aging" is a power in itself.

Officially, we use honorific to older persons, and hesitate to criticise them with strong tone and hard expression.

(The reason is likely to that the company I am working is a type of old company)

Come to think of it, we are induced to show our respect senior students even in junior or high school.

I can accept the system with small wonder.

Even if the senior student doesn't have a good activity, if it's worse case, he/she is inferior to our skill, the reason of "showing our respect for the senior looks like a good manner", is

cheaper than other ways for our society, in conclusion.

In an extreme case, it is denial of democracy.

"An elder should has power" is a kind of request of society, in order to be fast in making decisions.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

For such your private timid ambitious, why I should have a risk of "disease", "mental illness" and "overwork death" ?

I want to claim the above.

for instance,

(1)for future some hundred years,

(2)for the happiness for more than some billion human beings

(2)for a great revolution ( I dislike the word)

(4)my life should be made victim of the revolution,

I might accept to being a sacrifice (but I won't allow for the person).

-----

However,

for your private timid pride or personal aggrandizement

with setting up for "Nobunaga" or "Ryouma"

going after us with overwork death

managing a company with petty-minded motivation,

Stop it as soon as possible

I want to say that.

I use a cellphone. provided by my company, and I sometimes take a phone call from an unknown company.

Even when I read the number, I could not specify a person or a company. So I have to take it by the company cellphone.

From now on, I have introduced several methods to you to counter attacks against these accidents. However, recently I come to bother to do them, so I just do the following action.

(Step.1) When my phone rings, I just say "Yes" and don't say nothing anymore.

If the person say "hello!" friendly, I keep my lips and don't respond.

In many case, the person hung up with saying "I am sorry".

-----

I can hung up even when a person is talking. However my coworkers look friendly for even a person at the end of line from a suspicious company.

I am moved that

"they are good manner"

In my case. I can say the following line of

"I am a network specialist. If you call me again, I will track your call, and disclose your private information on the Internet."

fluently.

The reason I can do it, is that I had some experience in living theater.

Anyway, the person on the end of line, might be surprised at my phrase.

They cannot expect such a rude man in my company.

-----

The other day, I said,

"If you know my name in your list, find my name by the search engine and ,recall me"

In many case, my phone doesn't come to ring,

The other day, my relatives gathered for Buddhist event of my deceased father, after a long time.

However, I felt sorry that some people will only come for the Buddhist event from a distance.

As I have already told you many times, I personally do not put emphasis on the event.

(However, I know that the events are "meaningful" to the funeral)

So, I basically responded them to "there is no problem that you will be absent from the event".

However, some relatives, were seriously enthusiastic, and, to tell you the truth, It was not too much to say that I was pushed by the enthusiasm.

The host can not reject the enthusiasm, if the guest wishes to hold the ceremony.

Not only in Japan, but also all of the world, I bothered that many clashes of values are going on everyday about ceremonial occasions.

Set it aside,

-----

However, the dinner party after the event with the relatives was fun.

I remembered what they were very kind of me, when I was a child.

In this dinner party, some of them said,

"Well, you got bigger after a long time"

However, the meaning was completely different.

The children have already been here as a adult of more than half a century ages.

The meaning was transformed into "Is your health checks okay?" "Is there no problem about blood pressure?"

and , for me,

"Are you okay? Are you sleeping well? Can you have a meal enough? "

They seemed to be worried about my health.

When my wife said that

"My husband continues a diet experiment by his body"

At the moment, the worry changed a blame with the two octave voice.

"Stop it soon"

-----

I told them to the background that I had written columns about "diet" and I have just kept my weight measurement everyday. However they seemed not to stop blaming me.

I think that this was a rare case, but I could enjoy chatting with them.

(Continuation from yesterday)

I realize that I am not able to enjoy an extraordinary life, even while at work, is a "unhappiness".

However, I am terribly "scary" that something unexpected happens in such extraordinary time.

I know the fact that "failure is a property".

Still, "failure" is basically "painful".

Even if it was a valuable asset in the past, it is something that I do not want to receive as much as possible in the future. That is "failure".

-----

If there is an adjective that expresses the above "scary" and "pain" together, it would be "coward".

- Even as if I perform possible advance simulations,

- Even as if I prepare all the measures you can come up with,

- I can't rest assured.

Indeed, I can say that it is an excellent sample of "coward".

How much "coward" I am,

- In domestic business trips, I assume "two places" of personal accidents that occurr on the route to the destination.

- In overseas business trips, after I arrive at the site, I will actually walk on foot to the meeting venue of the next day.

Indeed, the reason why I hate "personal accident" is a natural enemy against "coward".

(To be continued)

Senior Daughter: "Dad, have you ever used SPSS?

Ebata: "What... what did you...? Did you just say "SPSS"?

-----

I know that my senior daughter is currently busy collecting data for her field questionnaire for her "Graduation Thesis."

In the current corona disaster, she is having a very difficult time with F2F surveys in a remote survey environment.

I dare to say that I am "prejudiced".

"Is a thesis in a liberal arts department really that hard?"

And I'm honestly surprised.

-----

Once, when I was in college, I had a conversation with a humanities friend (female).

"I stayed up all night for three days to finish my thesis!"

But I remember I didn't know what to say to this phrase.

(1) "Heh, that's easy and nice"

(2) "Well, that was tough"

After all, that kind of all-night work was a regular event that occurs every other week in the Faculty of Engineering.

So, I'm honestly surprised at the recent efforts of students (but only "my daughter") in their studies.

-----

The reason why I am surprised is that "my knowledge is old" or "my prejudice."

Today's university students can no longer grasp with the simple framework of "science" and "humanities".

This is not an action on the part of the student, "a student who is active" or "a student who is not active".

It will be "The university / faculty that can make people who can be active" or "The university / faculty that can make people who can be active".

In fact, as far as I can see my daughter, the faculty of the university she attends is highly rated by me.

Quiet talk

-----

"SPSS" is standard software for data analysis manufactured and sold by IBM.

I have never used it, but it is a very famous software.

By the way, the data analysis software I used is mostly a product of NTT DATA Mathematical Systems

like this and this.

-----

Anyway,

The word "SPSS" is coming out of my daughter.

"Now, my daughter is about to flutter in the world."

I was deeply moved.

Sometimes I am asked, "Mr. Ebata, when you create a simulator, what kind of modeling do you do to define the interface (I/F)?"

My answer is always the same.

"I don't think about it."

-----

In my programming, I just describe things in the real world in a structure (class) and I/F later when things need to communicate with each other.

I believe that this kind of design concept is called "object design" and programming based on this concept is just called "object-oriented programming".

There is only one advantage to this programming --

"Easy". This is the only word that comes to mind.

However, in order to make this "easy", you need to be willing to not use any of the features of "object-oriented programming".

I don't use "inheritance" or "generalization" because they are too much trouble when debugging.

"Multiple inheritance" is sure to be confusing.

I believe that if you need "polymorphism," you're not very good at making it.

I find "private" and "public" annoying to death, so I just use "public" for everything.

If you use this kind of thing, the readability of your program will get really bad. It's not very readable.

-----

Well, maybe it's because this is a "personal level" programming of a researcher that we can think this way, but

For me, modeling is simply describing the "things" that I want to appear in a class (structure) as I can see them. That is my method.

Other than that, I think it's fine to learn when you need it -- although I wonder if the time is coming.

I am continuing to do abdominal and back (and pull-ups) exercises with the above device.

It is generally accepted that a "slightly painful" (abdominal or back) numbers are good, but in my experience this is not correct.

"Stop at the number of times I don't feel any pain at all"

is correct.

I know very well that even the slightest amount of 'suffering' will not 'keep me going'.

"To continue to train without any pain at all" is much better than

"To skip the occasional workout that's a little painful"

-----

I have never read a self-help book that states this fact.

Frankly, I am wondering.

When I was eating ice cream with my family today,

my dauguter said

"Parents who have enrolled their children at Janny's."

I was presented with the perspective that -- I was shocked.

I could 'see' the case from my perspective for the first time.

-----

Of course, this case is the work of a demon named "Johnny's Something," who was lucky enough to get away with his death.

There was not a single millimeter of error or defect on the part of the victim or the victim's guardian.

However, I cannot imagine the parents' frustration, sadness, and anger, not to mention the victims themselves.

If my wife or daughter were to be humiliated in this way -- maybe I wouldn't 'stop me.'

-----

In this book, there is a story about Corporal Castle, a politician and soldier of the Wu Dynasty in ancient China during the Spring and Autumn period.

He fled Chuxing and went into exile in Wu after his father and brother were executed by King Ping of Chuxing.

Sixteen years later, Corporal Castle, now a general of Wu, fell the capital city of Chu (506 B.C.).

Since Ping Wang was already dead, Corporal Castle uncovered the royal tomb and whipped Ping Wang's corpse 300 times to settle his grudge -- this is the origin of the phrase "whipping the dead."

-----

I would not be surprised if something similar happened in our country today.
