今晚回老家食飯，順便上去搵番十年都不會用的xx証書。証書最後找不到，但.....
找到的是更多不用不用又不願掉的東西，足足有幾箱之多。原本都打算只係搵証書，一個一個箱打開，睇下睇下停不了手。

Counterintuitive RAID read performance
While doing performance tests on an iSCSI RAID controller, we recentlyturned up some unexpected results: the controller could writesignificantly faster than it could read, to both RAID 5 and RAID 0targets. In one case, a six-disk RAID 0 target could do streaming writes20 megabytes/second faster than it could do streaming reads (75 MB/swrite versus 55 MB/s read).This surprised me a lot, because I usually expect reads to run fasterthan writes.

Users are almost always right
One of the rules of system design ought to be this:
When the users keep doing it wrong, the users are right and yoursystem is wrong.

If the users keepmaking some error, changing their behavior is going to be very difficultand therefor costly. (In a fight between user inertia and anything else,bet on user inertia.)
This means that changing
這是一個無夢的城市
星爺講過：“人無夢，同條鹹魚有咩分別？”環顧澳門大街小巷，究竟有幾多個是人？幾多個是鹹魚？我們當然理解什麼叫“美國夢”、“香港夢”，甚至“中國夢”。把夢想寄託於某個地方，並且相信這個地方不會辜負人，憑
