26歲的生日禮物
26歲的生日禮物，第一份收到的，由媽媽送給我。
只是閒聊時提及過我喜歡藍寶石，沒想到數天後，媽媽毫無先兆的遞上一個小盒子，說是我的生日禮物。
我也記得，18歲生日那年，媽媽送了第一隻鑽石指環給我。

Knowing things versus being able to prove them
Recently there has been a small contremps over how well (or not) IDEs can support refactoring for dynamiclanguages. To stereotype and condense, on one side are Java peoplewho feel that without the guarantees provided by static typing, manysorts of automated refactorings are impossible to do reliably and soworthless; on the other side are Tim Bray and dynamic language people,who feel that various things can get them close enough, and besidesthere are a laundry list of situations where static languages don'thave reliable refactorings either
生日一定要快樂
渣估：
Happy birthday to you... 雖然我唔知你幾號生日。
生日一定要慶祝，唔係單單為自己，亦係為養大我地既父母慶祝。
媽咪咁辛苦生左我地出黎，爹地媽咪咁辛苦湊大我地，佢地明明可以用養我地既錢去享受人生。
o係父母心目中我

The downsides of remailing
In the context of SPF and its need for SRS instead of simplemail forwarding, a local sysadmin recently asked on our sysadmin mailinglist:
What is bad about remailing?
Fundamentally we're being asked to do extra work that benefits otherpeople, people who've chosen to break their own mailers for no actualbenefit. This is backwards, and in my opinion accommodating such peopleonly encourages the next lot to demand that everyone else clean up theirmesses.
Apart from that:
- remailing requires additional software and configuration,
A Solaris 8 make bug
; cat Makefilefoo : /tmp/bar touch foo; mkdir /tmp/bar; maketouch foo; make`foo' is up to date.; touch /tmp/bar/t; make`foo' is up to date.; gmaketouch foo
As ' make -ndd ' shows, for some reason Solaris 8's version of makedecides that directories always have a timestamp of 0. It knows thatthey exist, because if you remove /tmp/bar it complains aboutit.
An Internet rule of thumb
Any Internet protocol change that requires everyone's participation isdead on arrival.
This often applies to would-be antispam efforts such as SPF .
(Superficially, SPF looks like it is an isolated thing that onlyinvolves the sender having SPF records and the receiver checkingthem. It's not, and the way it requires everyone's participationis illustrated by the need for the Sender Rewriting Scheme .)
First irritations with Fedora Core 6
In the tradition of previous entries , some firstirritations with Fedora Core 6. All of this is on an x86_64 upgradefrom Fedora Core 5 on a machine with a stock configuration and stockGUI, and is mostly about the upgrade process.
- I had to manually specify
noapicon my hardware. This is not toosurprising, since the regular FC5 kernels now need it, but the FC5install kernel was fine without it. - at least if you have a non-RAID root device but
A brief Exim observation
Life probably would be easier if the people behind Exim's string expansions hadjust been able to write a Lisp. Unfortunately that might have createdsome irrational prejudice against Exim, so I can see why they needed todisguise what they were doing.
(It would have been a pretty mutant Lisp. But mutating your Lisp isalmost de rigueur.)
Of course, I must include a pointer to Greenspun's Tenth Rule ofProgramming .
