改變世界的方法 2之1

從類似世界名人傳的叢書中,我們可以讀到很多故事,而每個名人的故事裏,總會帶著一點教訓,作為每個人童年的德性教育;當然,對於成年人來說,就是一個個騙人的笑話,和少不免一番嘲笑的材料。例如華盛頓砍了櫻桃樹

Drupal: Make a Context-Aware User Login Link (PHP Snippet)

Many of the sites I design don't require a user login form on every page, especially if there are only a few people that will ever need to login. Instead, I like to simply provide a "User Login" link somewhere on the page (most often in the footer), so it's unobtrusive but there for those who might not remember to type in /user after the URL.

This presents a new problem, though: if you put a link to "example.com/user


再說 Stand Alone Complex

對於近日香港新社運成員的冒起,傳媒、學者、大眾,甚至參與者本身,都試圖用分析其背景、動機等等,得出很多不同的理論,其中最合我心意的,莫過於網絡論。一談到網絡,自然又想起《攻殼機動隊》的 Stand Alone Complex ( SAC )。


外星人地球流浪記–Suumo房地產仲介廣告

你喜歡,我開心

今天老婆生日。我們慶祝各自的生日時通常會去餐館吃頓好的,但這次老婆卻說不想外出,要吃我煮的。我說:「無問題,只要你喜歡!」可是,這一餐不能像平時的晚飯那麼隨便,所以我便在下午特地走去買材料,幸而想買的

忍者亂太郎之開山劈箱—Nexus One開箱片

睇完人家的開箱片,將來真的沒信心去拍了,犀利到呢我頂。

唯一唔明,係點解三位忍者無論是那些李三腳式的踢腿動靜、或者是怪叫的「呱呱喳喳」都咁似李小龍上身?內裡有咩玄機?

果頭post完此片,我外甥仔就話見過另一條


The argument for not managing systems via packages

Although I haven't changed my mind ingeneral, I think that there are arguments for configuration managementsystems like Cfengine and Puppet over packaging systems. Apart fromtheir actual existence in usable form, one of them is that CM systemsare going to be inherently more agile than packaging systems.

The drawback of packaging systems is that they fundamentally work onpackages. This means that doing things via them requires a multi-stepprocess; you must assemble your files, build one or more packages fromthem, and finally propagate


One of the things that killed network computers (aka thin clients)

Here is a thesis about network computing's lack of success:

The compute power to deliver your applications has to live somewhere,whether that is in the machine in front of you or on a server that sitsin a machine room somewhere. It turns out that the cost of deliveringcompute power in one box does not scale linearly; at various points, itturns up sharply. For various reasons, there is also a minimum amount ofcomputing power that gets delivered in boxes; it is generally impossibleto obtain a


信任


以下是大家都有過的經歷,信任一個人的時候,無論他說什麼,你都會相信,無論他做什麼,你都想支持,無論他有什麼建議,你都會接受。什麼叫信任?字典的解釋是:相信而敢於托付。

這多少有點主觀成分,多少有點不問是
