教哲學和講耶穌

這個學期近尾聲了,很期待快到的暑假,那長長的三個月,可以自由自在看書寫文、彈琴練魔術重執篆刻刀、和跟家人到處走走。其實,這麼渴望放暑假的其中一個原因,是這個學期哲學導論的那一班令我對教書有點厭倦。

How you access an object can be important in Python

One of the less than obvious things about Python is that it can mattera lot just how you access an object, and not just for performancereasons. Accessing the same object through two different names can havedrastically different results under some circumstances, as yesterday'sentry about frame.f_locals shows.

(This is especially the case when resolving one of the names involvesa C module (instead of just a Python one). C modules generally need'getter' functions to translate their C-level data

香港這十年到底有何變化?

這是一個容易回答,亦不容易回答的問題。容易回答,是因為我們大可以拋出香港大大小小的新聞舊聞,例如沙士事件、興建迪士尼、自由行出沒、80後崛起等等;亦能夠引用別人對香港的評論,好

iPad Apps for Which I am Waiting

My credit card is quite ready to dump some money on the following, when they're released:

  • Coda for iPad: We need a good IDE for the iPad, and Coda screams iPad, already; I would be willing to heft over a pretty penny to have Coda on my iPad... even without terminal support, or the useless CSS editor.
  • Podcasting Suite: Something like GarageBand lite; just enough to record multiple tracks (maybe 2-4, with the ability to split right and left channels from

Review: iPad Camera Connection Kit

Jeff's Rating: 5 /5

tl;dr : The iPad Camera Connection Kit is an excellent accessory for the iPad, allowing users to import photos from most any camera (RAW or JPEG), and connect to some other helpful devices via USB.

If you haven't already, check out my iPad review (from the first few days of use, and including some important updates).

Altering a Python function's local variables with a trace function

Some time ago I wrote that there was no way tochange a function's local variables from outside it (well, specificallytheir name bindings ). As it turns out, I'm wrong;there is one way to do it by going in the back door, although it's nota useful way.

There is specific code in CPython that allows a trace function to completelyalter a function's local variables and even function arguments; this (C)code specifically reloads the internal interpreter version of
