Practical issues with getting ZFS on Linux

When discussions of ZFS on Linux (for real, as more than a user-levelfilesystem) come up, the usual issue that gets brought up is thelicensing problem; Sun's CDDL is incompatible with the kernel's GPLrequirement. But Sun could always change that if they wanted to, and Ithink there's another, more serious problem.

To put it simply, my impression is that the Linux kernel people aregenerally strongly opposed to what I could call 'code drops', whereforeign

千山我獨行不必相送

小時候上主日學,常聽說「上帝創造人類」。長大後覺得那樣說並不妥當,因為上帝根本沒有創造「人類」,祂造的是「人」,兩者當中有一種很subtle的分別。我Daisy自問並非「熱心教友」,極其量只是個「內心


《醮》──靈魂的獻祭

這是一篇舊文章了,是去年在台大鹿鳴廣場看完《醮》所寫的一些感想,把它重新PO在這邊,分享給大家,也希望大家不吝賜教與批評。裡面有很多文學主觀的想像成分在,如果寫得不好或不對,也可以直接回文哦(抖)。

A lament about modern NFS development

My problem with the direction that modern NFS protocol developmentis going is, to put it succinctly, that everyone involved seems towant to turn NFS into AFS or another real networked filesystem .

Why templating systems are the wrong answer for simple HTML generation

One common proposed solution to the problem of simple HTML generation is a templating system. Apart from anypractical issues (all of which can be worked around), I've come torealize that I believe that they're the wrong answer in general, becausetemplating systems are solving a different problem.

At least for me, the problem simple HTML generation solves is thatHTML is annoyingly verbose and picky to write directly by hand (andpartly as a result is difficult to cleanly embed into Python code).This


jQuery 1.3 and JS Bin

剛剛出籠,重點是新的 selector engine 。效能提昇之餘,更可因此而引進新功能,如 ,據說普通的 event delegation 也會更快 (也是因為 selector 快了吧)。而 Sizzle 本身已成為一個獨立專案,讓其他 library 也可以用。

jQuery 的 也更新了,在試用之時發覺每一個 code example 都伴隨
