(警告，無聊對話一則)
朋友：「觀塘有沒有快車到中大？」 我：「有去落馬州紅 van，15 分鐘可到中大」 朋友：「真快！那由家到中大不用半個小時就可以了！」 弟：「有架荃灣到觀塘的小巴，也是 15 分鐘，超快」 我：「我
Please test your error paths
One of my peculiar traits is that I test error paths, sometimesobsessively. If I write an error check into my code, I am not happyuntil I have induced the error and watched the error check firecorrectly. Judging from some of the code that I've seen this makes me ararity, but it shouldn't be this way.
In fact, I sometimes think that explicitly testing error paths is moreimportant than explicitly testing regular code paths. It is usuallypretty obvious when regular code paths don
今日我地學成語：光明磊落
離職市建局前線員工指，要扮學生出席居民會議！現在的政府部門到底是不是全都是特務機關？！要求市建局就這種破壞自己與市民之間的信任的行為公開道歉！

在鄙人重奪rhetorical pain的同時，那邊可憐的人又在醋勁翻天亂罵一通。又扮邊緣又黐權威，大喝一聲你懂個屁，一邊放屁一邊拍馬屁。得喇得喇，家訪好巴閉喇；同曾bowie tie一樣做過家訪，夠狗兒顛屁股搖尾巴的。親愛的為什麼你不懂我
A gotcha with the automounter and loopback mounts
On Solaris, there is a combination gotcha with the automounter and mountson the same host. It goes like this:
- your fileserver normally has /dev/whatever mounted on /export/foo.
- your generic automounter configuration mounts fileserver:/export/fooas /foo.
- you need to do some maintenance to the filesystem, so you unshareand unmount /export/foo.
- after you're done you try to remount it, but you get a message thatthe mount point is busy. The only mention of
On storing source code in some non-text format
Every so often these days there is some agitation that program sourcecode should not be stored as text but instead in some more intelligentand more abstract form, and just presented as text by editors.
This is the programming language version of the web's 'semantic markuponly' movement, and it fails for the exact same reason that only a smallfringe writes in purely semantic markup: the appearance of the text is important, it is not an afterthought. Programmers care not justabout the meaning of their code but
Why ZFS's data integrity is less important than Solaris's usability
The bottom line is that Solaris is hard to administer (yeah, it's afair cop), so server data is just going to have to suffer. Hopefullysome day Solaris will be as easy as redhat, or debian, or ubuntu, or
. Some day. Meanwhile, I'll choose dataintegrity over ease of administration. The problem with this is that quiet disk corruption is not currently abig issue for most people; it just don'
