Taste
My elder brother came to visit us recently, after working in the United States for more than ten years.
One afternoon I took his family to a food kiosk selling the local street snack "eggettes." That's real Hong Kong style mini-pancake made from special frying pan and served hot. I didn't realize that it is my brother's son, but not his father, who loves these eggettes the most.
Thinking about the changing taste with age, I am often reminded of my experience

Git and 'rewriting history'
Every so often, someone says that git is badbecause it lets you rewrite history (usually they have other reasonstoo). This almost invariably irritates me because it is so completelywrong at a deep level.
Git has no support for 'rewriting history' in any meaningful sense. Infact, git's design means that by its very nature you cannot rewritehistory. Since a commit is identified by the hash of its contents,you cannot change a commit once it is made. Since commits identifytheir parents
Short reactions to spring 2009
Here are some quick (or at least short) reactions to all of the newshows of spring 2009 that I've watched some of, written down for variousfuzzy reasons. I am not going to try to summarize or review these, justgive some brief comments.
Rather than agonize over quality ratings, I've decided to rate showsbased purely on how eagerly I'm looking forward to the next episode,from +3 ('want more right now') to -3 (

What causes the ZFS file deletion problem with snapshots
Suppose that you have a ZFS pool that you have filled utterly up to thebrim, completely full, and that it has a snapshot. Of course, now youneed to delete some files in a filesystem to clean up space, so:
$ rm oldfile
rm: cannot remove `oldfile': No space left on device
(Here oldfile is a file that is old enough to be in the snapshot.)
The ultimate cause of this is a general problem with 'copy on write'filesystems such as ZFS.
晨早星巴你(二)—星巴蛋牛Corned Beef & Egg Pocket
蛋牛治烘底大家在茶餐廳我就食得多， 不過還是第一次吃到用意大利三文治包Panini (我們常見的Ciabatta 義大利拖鞋麵包)，內裡夾著鹹牛(Corned Beef)加炒蛋再烘底的做法。
麵包入口表層鬆化，咬一口頓覺鬆軟，即所謂的脆面軟心，口感極
