My view of Sun and their history

From its founding in the the 1980s through the early 1990s, Sun was apowerhouse that delivered both a stream of technical innovations andan evolving range of machines, from small workstations through largeservers, that were excellent values. While never quite as sexy as SGI(even if they sometimes tried hard), Sun's workstations were somethingthat you could dream of having on your desk even if you weren't aHollywood SFX worker, a CAD/CAM operator, or

Short-Amazon (regular expression 版)

某天看到 Othree 寫了個 short-amazon 來縮短 Amazon 網址,我依樣葫蘆地試用 regular expression 的方式做一次:

 function convert(){   var output = parseUrl(document.getElementById("input").value);   document.getElementById('output').value = output;  } var parseUrl = function(input){   if(!input) return '';   var lines = input.split('n');

A thesis: Sun should be prepared to give up on SPARC

溫習,我的哥林多前書

不要總體化、不要簡單化、不要阻擋他的步伐、不要使軌跡凝固不變、不要追求某種優勢、不要抹殺事物也不要抹平,尤其不要做自私的打算,不要據為己有或重新據為己有(即使是通過那種名為拒絕而實為打算借此達到重新據

Ugly

When a friend of mine recently heard the radio news story about the failure to rescue a dying heart attack patient on the doorstep of a public hospital, he almost drove off the road.

Over the last two days, much has been written about the moral of this tragedy in the newspaper editorials and by the bloggers. I believe, however, that this is one of those evergreen bits of wisdom that we can never quite get enough of it.

Still, I dare not tell my friend another story because he would be
