Another reason to avoid having comments

To go with my previous thoughts about the purposes of comments , here is another reason that people might want to nothave them on their blog: they eat your limited time.

In a sense, comments on your blog carry with them an implicit duty toreply; while you can skip this, it may look odd andcause bad reactions. However, comments that you write will probably getless of an audience than a new entry. So if you only have a limitedamount of time to write things for your blog


Why your blog comments have less of an audience than new blog entries

Expanding on a remark in the previous entry : Ithink there are several reasons why your comments are likely to get lessof an audience than new entries. First, in most blog setups new commentsare less obvious to readers than new entries, as your readers have to goback by hand to look for them. This is especially so if people are onlyinterested in a few comments.

It's possible to work around this with a different blog layout, but itdoes mean a moderately radical change from how people

Why it matters what users like

In theory, you can force a lot of things down the throats of users,whether or not they like it; you provide what you provide, and theusers have to live with it. (I will assume that the 'you' here includesmanagement.)

In practice, this is not so, and you ultimately do need the supportof your users to survive and prosper. No system can last unless theusers actually like it and it does what they want. If users dislike yoursystem or are just


Scrub

I taught my students, who were going to the operating theatre with me last week, the scrub techniques. Rituals abound in the operating theatre, I confess, with all the meticulous and universally-agreed ways of washing our hands (or "surgical scrub").

愛的承傳 – Wall-E

[警告!本文劇透!]

《Wall-E》開場響起一首老舊旋律《Put on Your Sunday Clothes》,但卻只有 Wall-E 在廢墟般的地球默默工作,一陣荒涼悲悽的感覺油然而生。那首歌是來自 1964 年的音樂劇《Hello Dolly》,或許那時才是人類的黃金時期,


Using a non-standard shell as your login shell

Suppose that you want to use a non-standard shell as your login shell(for the purposes of this, 'non-standard' means that it's not installedsystem-wide; you have to compile your own version). Further suppose,for the sake of argument, that the shell you want to use doesn't havea command-line option to tell it to be a login shell.

If your shell did have such a command line option, using it as yourlogin shell would be
