Well, not anymore

Using Vortex, we were successfully able to parse the contents of the liberty files "as is" without having to convert it to json files

"In many cases we might need information in Liberty files. However, the general syntax of Liberty library format is rather irregular and hard to process. JSON format is more regular and easy to manipulate, so I want to convert Liberty library format to JSON format.
Since all previous implementations of liberty2json do not seem to be general enough, I created this project to meet my needs." - mirkat ding

Unpopular Opinion :

The MacBook Touch Bar deserved improvement, not removal.

[Sethupathi Balakrishnan @bsethupathi]

Indian billionaires are excellent at rent seeking, gate keeping, regulatory capture, labor arbitrage, mercantile trading and motivational speeches. Innovation etc. are out of syllabus.

The reason you are sad inside is because you know you are wasting your potential. Not because life is unfair or circumstances are hard. Deep down you know exactly what you are capable of and exactly how far you are living below it. That gap is where the sadness lives. No amount of distraction, scrolling or numbing makes it go away because you cannot fool yourself at that level. The only cure is to start closing the gap. Do the thing. Build the thing. Become who you already know you are supposed to be.

Some people are just inevitable. You can see it in the way they talk, the way they move, the way they explain their goals. There's an unrelenting, unstoppable intensity to them. They won't settle for mediocrity. They won't comprise their dreams. They may not know how or when, but they WILL be successful. It's inevitable.

[blue @bluewmist]

sorry to break it to you but you literally have to face your fears and slaughter them. otherwise you will live a small life that you do not want. you literally have to view your biggest fears and attack them head on. you have to fall into the abyss to find your way out. the easy path does not exist. there is no get out of jail free card. you have to allow yourself to die a spiritual death over and over again in order to reinvent yourself into the person you are actually supposed to be. and you have to be painfully honest with yourself and the people around you. it’s horrible but it’s truly the only way.

[Boluwatife @TEEPHTREND]

Nobody tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain so you can allow amazing things to happen to you after so much trauma or hurt. Blessings exist, good people exist, a softer life exists. Let it happen.
