The Unix interpreter problem(s)

A while back I mentioned that one reason I'm interested in Go is that it is compiled, not interpreted.Now it's time to elaborate on what I called 'the interpreter issue'.

First off, on Unix there are some things that interpreted languagessimply cannot do ( I've mentioned this before ).One potentially significant limitation for an otherwise attractivehigh-level language is that you cannot write (script) interpreters in aninterpreted language; the target of a ' #! ...


純粹感覺良好

我們少不免喜歡美化過去。例如我們覺得,小時候買到的零食是最好吃的,十元八塊一包糖、一串腸、一碗麵,現在怎樣都買不回來,那份味道只屬於過去。又好像愛情的滿足,遠古時初戀的苦澀與蹍轉,在今日看來卻疑是一團

The Year's Craziest Christmas Light Displays

Every year, it seems there are more and more extravagant displays of programmed Christmas lights. This year is the most impressive so far—so impressive, the tech side of me wants to do something along these lines, while the religious side of me balks at how much time/money was spent on these displays (even if they use LEDs... that's a lot of power, and a lot of cost/material for the bulbs and cords!).

Anyways, for your enjoyment, here are

驚嚇和催淚

我從來都不喜歡看恐怖片,即是講鬼講怪撚鏡頭搞氣氛血淋淋黑萌萌失驚無神嚇你一大跳那種,只陪人看過幾次,絕不欣賞,毫無樂趣可言;自己主動去看的,則未之有也。

這不是因為我不相信有鬼 --- 我也不相信有神仙,但

Why I want tests to be easy to write

One possible answer to my testing problem from the last entry is that I should simply get to workcreating the large test data needed. Some times programming involvesdoing tedious work that we don't like, and this is one of them.

I disagree, because one of my firm opinions is that it should be easy towrite (good) tests. What I want is easy automated tests .
