昨天傳出了 Yahoo! 要關掉 social bookmark 網站老大哥 del.icio.us ，網上隨即好一陣子騷動，人們都談如何 export、做 migration、有何替代品，也有人覺得很可惜這個 Web 2.0 原祖之一網站現在也要關閉。有人談到 Web 服務到底還是不可靠，正如 Richard Stallman 對 Chrome OS
如何對待難以置信的理論
網友荒言 談及抽樣調查 ，說：
『香港少說也有七百萬人，只抽查了二三百甚或一二百人，就可說是「全港」，算我笨算我冥頑不靈好了，我怎樣也不會信服的了。』
我相信很多人也有類似想法。我又忍不住多口了，留言說：

一星期去了兩次北京day trip。For what？來回七個小時飛機，未計delay，另加三小時從北京機場來回商業區，未計塞車。在北京的會議僅開了一個多小時。究竟為了什麼？IPO 律師的生涯，是無盡的塞車和搭飛機。
這兩次去北京，一次是為

I was asked to speak in a hospital forum about nonpunitive response to medical incidents. An apt illustration of the current climate comes from those stories in which honest doctors who make full confession find themselves viewed unfavourably. Should we then keep our mouths shut?
Hardly. There comes a time in the career of most doctors when things go badly awry. It comes earlier for those who work the hardest. No matter when it comes, however, the struggle is best overcome with support from the others. That's why I

中學時的中文課本有《莊子》〈養生主〉一文的節錄，是由原文的開頭到「善哉！吾聞庖丁之言，得養生焉」止，並另有篇名，叫〈庖丁解牛〉。當時要整篇課文背誦，到現在我還可以背到六、七成。

Sometimes bugs have very small edit distances
One of the consequences of yesterday's SAN backend failure is that I found a bug in our spareshandling code. It was the kind of bug where the program aborts, and whenthat happens we started getting email with Python exception backtracesthat ended in what struck me as a very odd exception:
KeyError: False
Normally KeyErrors make a kind of sense, in that you see whatyou're looking up and the question is either why you wound up usingthat key or why that key isn't present when
A Python (non-)idiom that I should really avoid
One of my bad habits as a Python programmer is that I am both lazy andimpatient. I will go out of my way to do something overly clever justbecause it saves me some boring boiler-plate code, and because Python issuch a compact language already my threshold for this irritation is verylow.
One of the things that this leads me to is writing conditionalvariable initializations like this:
var = Noneif condition: var = something()
I've recently come to the conclusion that this is a
溫度文學
寒冷。雖然香港人說天氣寒冷，會被俄羅斯人、芬蘭人、蒙古人、加拿大人之類取笑，人家住在東北三省，零度才不過區區小事，香港人十度八度就嚴禁上山，又要報警又要召直升機，說我們是港燦都不為過。至少，所謂低溫症

Farewell
"Will you still go to our departmental Xmas party?" It was the shaky voice of my colleague after attending the funeral service of my respectable patient last night.
I said yes. It wasn't that I did not shiver after temperature plunged from 20 degrees Celsius to five degrees. I did. No, the uneasy feeling of transit from a memorial service to a social event with party theme is difficult to shake off. And, I didn't miss the party that much. Going to say goodbye
