《臭作》:純情到你唔信

明報的 御宅戲寶欄 ,向由杜某和化名呂煙的紫草主理,將來還會有新人加入。之前杜某趁淫審條例諮詢,提議要寫h game,但既缺經驗,復畏首畏尾,遭我痛罵「h game都未打過,你還是誠心加入明光社曲線扶助性解放運動吧你」。

My view on vi and vim (and nvi et al)

I have a confession: for all that I use it fairly often, I am a fairlybasic user of vi. As such, I have a pretty unsophisticated view ofwhat vi is; if I type ' vi ' and something starts up that behaves likevi and is not too freakishly super-intelligent ,I call it vi and don't think more about it, regardless of the nameof the actual implementation. Unless I actively think about it, I'monly vaguely aware that there are at least


Server problems caused by 'transparent' self-signed SSL certificates

One of the issues with allowing self-signed SSL certificates to beautomatically used for transparent encryption over https URLs is theproblems that they cause for server-side applications.

Right now, a server-side program that care can more or less assume thata SSL-encrypted connection means either that it is securely talkingto the real end user's machine or that the end user has been activelycompromised (which it can't do anything about).

Science

My mentor speaks of medicine's interest in the similarity and difference between individual patients. With huge variation from person to person, it is never possible to consider medicine in the same scientific way as Newtonian physics. To paraphrase the old saying, medicine is knowledge, judgment, experience, and luck.

It is ironic that as we are getting a better picture of how epidemiology studies get closer to predicting illness (or recovery from an illness), we are learning at the same time to realize how irrelevant the scientific statistics

Good editors aren't better or worse, just different

It's common to compare text editors and say that one is better or worsethan another. But after a certain point this is wrong. Editors are oftennot better or worse but different than each other, each better atspecific things. Such differences mean that there is no absolute scaleof better and worse, and indeed that the question of which is a bettereditor in general is meaningless.

Let me illustrate this using the differences between the three editorsthat I use most frequently:
