盛況空前

今早。

下機後開啟手提電話。

嘩。

收到四個不同男人發出的短訊。

中英法日俱全。

發生了甚麼事?

近來香港女人很缺貨嗎?

題外話。

世上最錯的事就是當男人打電話給你你認不出他的聲音還用另一個男人的名字喚他。

What do Unix errno values mean?

Here's a philosophical question: what do Unix errno values mean?

One possible meaning is that they are hints about why your systemcall failed. Another possible meaning is that they specify what wentwrong; in the extreme, a system call can only fail for certain specificreasons, each of which is associated with a specific errno value.

Errno as a hint is essentially the traditional Unix view. V7 Unix didn'teven document specific error returns for system calls, and Bell Labstook it to the logical

故事的角色


如果你跟我一樣成長於七、八十年代的澳門,請問你還記得小學時讀的課本有描述過澳門嗎?我的印象中是沒有的,英文課本的主角“明輝”和“小明”只會去新界郊遊,尺牘課本的女主角“小曼”會寫信向住在外國的表兄介紹

什麼叫明星
馬家輝、陳清僑、馬國明、素黑、小西、司徒薇發言完畢,那邊護港會的farewell儀式才開始;我忍不住想,他們還可以講什麼呢,論點已經被窮盡了。而情況是,來到

這集雖然應該不是說話最快的一集,但肯定是提到書本數量最多的一集。

完了吃飯,本來兩人都盤算著談生意,好不成熟穩重工於心計,但一下子不知為什麼談到靚仔的問題上去了。在粉絲的

咬到砂礫

/真的很不喜歡與醉酒的人說話。他們所說的話所做的事都會忘掉。而我會一直記得。我懷疑這些忘掉與記得之間存在因果關係。這是對語言認真到失控的地步。而且不知道為什麼我總是在他們喝醉了之後就突然開始談格外認真

大爺 吃早餐了


曲:楊友仁
詞:黃孫權、楊友仁

是你 先離開了
這個家園 飛上天去
軍毯哭泣 的那天
山東大調 終不能言
我的家鄉 離的遠
無法帶走 所有思念
來不及吃 的早餐
卻成了家園 的預言
大爺 吃早餐了
窮人墳場 這公園

RPC is surprisingly expensive

Once, long ago, I did a distributed computing project course where Itried to speed up a drawing program by moving its expensive floatingpoint calculations (I believe it needed to calculate square roots forsomething) to a machine with a much faster CPU and floating point. Weused Sun's RPC/XDR for this because it was both a great match for whatwe were doing and the obvious choice at the time, among other reasons.

Rather to our surprise the drawing program just didn't get much faster


Extra security systems for Unix should be explicit, not implicit

I'm no fan of SELinux, but in stumbling over it a few times I've come tosome theories about why I don't think it works. One of them, perhaps themost important one, is this:

Extra Unix security stuff needs to be simple and explicit .

Extra Unix security stuff needs to be explicit because the effectivealternative is invisibility, since Unix already has one security systemand most people aren't going to do very well remembering a secondinvisible one.
