A modern VCS mistake enabled by working on live trees

I've written before about sysadmin style use of version control , where we typically use a VCS for documenting the livetree instead of developing something. Recently I ran into a mistake that modern VCSes and this style of working combinetogether to enable: deleting a file from the live directory tree butforgetting to delete it from the VCS.

險詐、防詐、生詐

有些人對我有一個印象,就是我的年紀雖已不輕,人卻仍然相當「純情」,因為我的生活限於學院和家庭,身邊都是些比較簡單善良的人,沒有機會遇到不擇手段的奸險小人、惡毒之徒,不曾經歷過多少爾虞我詐、人心險惡。


Why Python's struct module isn't great for handling binary protocols

On the surface, the struct module looks like the right answerif you need to handle a binary protocol .In practice it is not the right answer, or at least it isn't thecomplete answer, because it has some weaknesses and limitations. Theissues are primarily but not entirely in the area of decoding binarymessages as opposed to creating them ('deserialization' versus'serialization').

Note that I am not blaming the struct module for this. Itsdocumentation is very straightforward about what it's


沒去世博,又可能去不成哈囉喂

唉,把世博的票送人了,跟本沒可能在24號上到上海。連21號想去一下海洋公園哈囉喂都去不成,以為二十年一遇的鮎魚會殺來,可能,只有個雷聲大,雨點子的三號波。又去的人可開心了,又沒雨,又少人,什麼都可以任

最近在想我看戲是不是越來越奄尖了。

翻查最近看戲紀錄,都是批評、不滿意的居多,評論還要寫得滿長篇的。就算是坊間好評的作品如《告白》、《Inception》,在我眼中也是沙石甚多。我擔心的是這樣下去會不會都只看到電影中的

我做到了

你總是叫我想清楚,到底,我真正需要的是甚麼?

我有。

一直用心去想,只是沒用腦。

結果,十年來,在分岔路上總選擇右邊的小徑,且到達終點。

然後,突然發覺,我想要的,不是我需要的。

愛上虛無飄渺,喜歡驚心動魄,得
