Dari dulu ku selalu penasaran, kenapa tiba-tiba ada "brand" rumah sakit baru yang (juga secara tiba-tiba) bisa punya banyak rumah sakit besar di tempat-tempat yang cukup strategis. Selagi ngereview di Foursquare Placemakers, secara tidak sengaja aku menemukan jawabannya :  18 May 2026 - 10.12 PM 26 May 2026 - 7.4 AM

The reason I keep this blog is... it’s my personal secret base.  I don’t know whether somebody in the future will read it. I don’t know whether this blog is going to be indexed by search engines or not, but I heard that a good old Blogger blog is quite visible on Google, so I’m betting on that. Alright. In this case, my stance alternates back and forth. Sometimes, I oppose the prosecutors. But sometimes, I also oppose the defenders. I guess maybe both of them have flaws, so I can objectively point out the faults in each of them. On one side: schadenfreude.  I already detached myself from this “local techbros movement” a long time ago because they hurt me a lot. Heck, I already muted/blocked the defendant in this case sometime in the past. That explains a lot regarding my first stance. On the other side, this could happen to anyone again in the future.  One day, if you’re unlucky enough, you can be jailed no matter how much good you did in the past.  And the sad part ...

  "Sintesis nanopartikel emas berselubung 3-MPA. Untuk biosensor plasmonik," itulah yang tertulis pada halaman pertama slide presentasi di pagi ini. Tulisannya terlihat cukup jelas, meskipun aku hanya mengintip dari luar. Aku tidak bisa masuk ke ruangan itu. Biosensor plasmonik, sensor pendeteksi molekul biologis berbasis efek plasmonik. Efek plasmonik, sebuah interaksi antara cahaya dan elektron bebas pada permukaan logam. Ketika seberkas cahaya dengan sudut datang dan panjang gelombang tertentu menyinari osilasi elektron terluar pada logam, yang berbatasan langsung dengan medium dielektrik seperti udara atau air, osilasi elektron tersebut akan tereksitasi, mengakibatkan fenomena resonansi plasmon permukaan. Ketika sebuah biomolekul -- seperti DNA, protein, atau virus -- menempel pada permukaan sensor tersebut, indeks bias permukaan sensor itu akan berubah. Perubahan ini mengakibatkan berubahnya sudut bias dan panjang gelombang cahaya yang terbiaskan. Perubahan ini dapat did...

  al-Fajr (الفجر) comes from the root f-j-r, which carries the sense of “splitting” or “bursting forth.” It is used for something breaking open, like water gushing out or light tearing through darkness. So fajr refers to the moment dawn “splits” the night, which is why it names the early morning prayer. aẓ-Ẓuhr (الظهر) comes from the root ẓ-h-r, meaning “to ظهر (appear, become manifest)” or “back.” The connection here is the time when the sun is fully ظاهر, clearly visible and at its peak. It also relates to the middle or “backbone” of the day, which is why ẓuhr refers to the midday prayer. al-ʿAṣr (العصر) comes from the root ʿ-ṣ-r, which originally means “to squeeze” or “press out” (like extracting juice). From this comes a sense of something being “pressed toward its end.” Over time, it developed the meaning of “afternoon” or “declining part of the day,” hence the late afternoon prayer. al-Maghrib (المغرب) comes from the root gh-r-b, meaning “to go away,” “to set,” or “to غرب (be...
