這集雖然應該不是說話最快的一集,但肯定是提到書本數量最多的一集。

完了吃飯,本來兩人都盤算著談生意,好不成熟穩重工於心計,但一下子不知為什麼談到靚仔的問題上去了。在粉絲的

咬到砂礫

/真的很不喜歡與醉酒的人說話。他們所說的話所做的事都會忘掉。而我會一直記得。我懷疑這些忘掉與記得之間存在因果關係。這是對語言認真到失控的地步。而且不知道為什麼我總是在他們喝醉了之後就突然開始談格外認真

RPC is surprisingly expensive

Once, long ago, I did a distributed computing project course where Itried to speed up a drawing program by moving its expensive floatingpoint calculations (I believe it needed to calculate square roots forsomething) to a machine with a much faster CPU and floating point. Weused Sun's RPC/XDR for this because it was both a great match for whatwe were doing and the obvious choice at the time, among other reasons.

Rather to our surprise the drawing program just didn't get much faster


Extra security systems for Unix should be explicit, not implicit

I'm no fan of SELinux, but in stumbling over it a few times I've come tosome theories about why I don't think it works. One of them, perhaps themost important one, is this:

Extra Unix security stuff needs to be simple and explicit .

Extra Unix security stuff needs to be explicit because the effectivealternative is invisibility, since Unix already has one security systemand most people aren't going to do very well remembering a secondinvisible one.

旅遊照片

終於有相睇:去片! 是次旅遊,去了昆明麗江,不過時間不太夠,又不時下雨。最印象深刻是騎馬,真是「登」到五臟六腑都「散晒」,但非常過癮!

數學真魅

記得以前看過一篇文章,說大家都認為數學有其重要地位,但很多人對此即使沒有感到厭惡和害怕,也會冷漠待之。在這種氣氛之下,要引起學生對數學的興趣,的確是難上加難。在上一年,有一

鳴謝與獨白

感謝大家來。希望可以趕及剪出今日聚會的片斷。

Why Red Hat 7.3 is (still) so present on servers

Red Hat 7.3 came out in the summer of 2002, but much to various people'shorror you can still find it on servers (along with Red Hat 7.2, anotherperennial favorite). I think that there are at least two reasons forthis, and they work together in combination.

First, Red Hat 7.3 was the last Red Hat release until Fedora Core 2where you could run a stock kernel. From Red Hat 8 through FC 1, youneeded a


Hei Hei樓下的一段對話

一個英俊的中日混血兒,跟我說要走了,因為明天他要9時正開始工作。

他走遠了,但在離開我數尺的距離,面對著我,我們通了2分20秒的電話。
