I cleaned out my dead links
I cleaned out the dead links on my site today. The internet is a great place, in no small part because of its ephemerality. I heard about the dead link checker somewhere online and thought, what the h...

Publishing your salary can hurt your future salary

The venerable cp command is well-known to any Unixer. Whether you want to copy one file or a whole tree recursively, cp is always available and always ready to help. However, as with most things in li...
I don't like the "Human-made" badging trend
I just came across the Done by Humans “movement,” which appears to similar to not by AI: both offer badges to display proudly on your human-made website after some kind of vetting process. I don’t und...

Embassytown
This is the third China Miéville novel I’ve read, behind The City and the City and Railsea. One thing I really like about Miéville’s work is that he manages to make every novel so different from the o...

使用 Clojure 一个月后的真实感想
作者以重写个人站点生成器为练手项目，边做边学 Clojure 一个月，交出了一份坦诚的"新手体检报告"。亮点：与 Common Lisp（mapcar / remove-if-not 的委员会设计感）和 Scheme（50页规范但连哈希表都不内置）做了具体对比，指出 Clojure 的 seq 抽象、统一相等性判断、四大一等数据结构更实用顺手；JVM 生态和 Babashka 脚本能力让业余开发者觉得省心。 槽点也毫不回避：括号种类太多（, [], {}, #{}）、符号中的./ 和 ~ 脱糖语法让人刚开始很抗拒，以及不懂 Java 就会有一种"我不会是在开一辆只有引擎没有方向盘的跑车吧"的不安。 全文有个人声音、有自嘲、有具体代码实例、有明确立场（会继续用，且开始刷 Project Euler），是一篇真正有信息量和讨论价值的语言学习手记。

安妮·麦卡弗里《龙飞苍穹》
母亲推荐的经典科幻：安妮·麦卡弗里《龙飞苍穹》阅读札记。作者因母亲推荐将"龙骑士珀恩"系列列入待读书单，后又在播客中听到提及，遂从Libby借阅前三卷，本文为第一本《龙飞苍穹》的简短读后记录。 作者认可这部作品，但也指出其中一些叙事套路已显过时。全文为私人向阅读随笔，有人情味和真实推荐场景，但内容较短且结尾中断，缺乏深入分析和完整论述。
