被分配一个又臭又长 ToS 的中翻英 大概六七千字吧 说你早点开始弄 估计需要十个小时 我现在突然想回去把我之前翻译记的 billable hours 统统往上改个几小时 ……

John Gruber 在这期 The Talkshow 里讲到开在 Downtown Philadelphia 那家 Trader Jones 疫情期间惨遭抢购的盛况——结账队伍蜿蜒过每个过道，以至于最合理的购物方式就是进店推着购物车直接排队，一路排下来也就买完了。但其实即使不是因为 coronavirus，那家店很多时候也差不多有那么挤。至于我是怎么知道的 毕竟有几个月是被它家的 frozen veggie 养活的

今日 UX 小红花：Unsplash 的首页不仅提示用户防疫期间保持人际距离，同时会率先垂范，给所有图片之间加上一个 96px 的 padding…

… yet still got up at 7 and ran a 10k before facing another pissed off day. has been my modus operandi since boarding high school days when I always tried to wake 5 min before the janitor blew the waking whistle. well aware that I'm actually playing the role of an accomplice in the torture against my self but anyway it gains me a sliver of autonomy, futile but ameliorative

isn’t it funny when you get up at 6a and start working before 9a while still dragged along to 4a by others whose day starts at ~11a? tell me if i'm not “devoted” enough to the profession but is it a place where being natually rhymed is a shame & ppl get adorned for being a jerk?

NUC 从一个多月前就一直风扇猛转 虽然知道很可能是散热问题 但因为侥幸心理，而且是服务器 + 软路由，每次关机都会特别麻烦，就一直没处理，直到最近两个星期过热断电了三四次，终于忍不住了拆开瞅了眼 说实话 打黑除恶 我有心理准备，但是看到整个出风口被半厘米的灰堵住，心灵还是受到了很大的冲击（吓得忘记拍照留念） 这件事情给我的教育是 出风口一定不要朝上露着 特别如果是住灰比较大的一楼 ……

In the end, museums were primarily monuments to their own values and tastes, showcases for what political power and private wealth could buy. […] They need to acknowledge the often conflicted relationship between aesthetics and ethics. They need to address what their collections leave out. They need to reconsider their own role as history-tellers and history-inventors. In short, they need to redefine what “encyclopedic” and “museum” and “art” can mean.

Like all of us, museums are stitched tight into the fabric of a messy, venal, Darwinian world. If they’re going to present themselves as enlightened alternatives to that messy world they better get busy. […] Enlightenment is a hard-won fight, and alternative always starts as an inside job.

永远不要低估中老年人对科技的活（lan）用能力 我之前一直不懂 为啥我爸经常没头没脑地往家里的微信群里发些毫无上下文的东西 直到突然领悟他是把家庭群当记事本用了

每天也是不知道有多少 billable hours 被浪费在这两个操作上

我的狗腿可算是活过来了

At least 95% of the challenge in querying data doesn't come from the difficulty of writing SQL statements IMO, but from the complexity/brokenness of the data itself.

HN 评论区总是非常能指出这种meta automation 的问题 比如做合同摘录的时候不应该为了省下一列把甲方和乙方写在一起？你看着是爽了 等需要过滤或者排序的时候就哭吧 哦 你还没法过滤和排序 因为你们的表格都是用 Word 做的[微笑]

而且还可以买到速冻版，真的懒到不想处理，微波炉转熟配番茄酱/鹰嘴豆泥就可以上天

向大家推荐我最喜欢的蔬菜：西兰花。炒蒸煮烤都可，很难做砸，配肉没什么抢戏的味道，不容易坏，吃起来质感舒服，还很有营养。而且我认为西兰花因为太便宜了，太 nice 了，没有得到应有的欣赏，建议设立 Broccoli Appreciation Day，简称 BAD，世界人民一起吃晚饭吃蒸西兰花以示尊重。我今晚先吃为敬

上面说 你去总结一下董事长的权利和义务 我默默翻出了私藏的 DF 版普通公司法 准备开始抄 但马上就后悔了 因为想起来从他的书可以很好地知道特拉华有什么 但只能知道中国缺什么 果不其然

When SoundJam first added support for Audion faces, they incorrectly used the drag mask for transparency, causing these messages to be cut out from the face. Because of this, some face designers would hide advertisements for Audion in the drag region.

哎 Instapaper 真的长得非常非常好看

…尤其是在你攒了满屏幕的文章看不完的时候

太丢人了，用 TextExpander 做了一个打时间戳的 snippet，结果发现输出的时间完全不准，每次打出来的分钟数都不一样 以为发现了一个 bug，煞有介事地和客服邮件几个来回以后，对方说你把 snippet 发给我看看 然后回复说 大哥 你是不是把分钟数 %M 写成了秒数 %S 了 ……

“Google Fonts is not just a repository of hundreds of free fonts - it is also a clever delivery mechanism utilising many of the latest web performance techniques to try to deliver the most appropriate fonts, with the minimal effort to the website owner. In moving to self-hosting you ideally want to re-implement as many of those improvements like font-display: swap, subsetting, and removal of hinting (at least for some browsers), or you may actually negatively impact performance by having larger fonts files.”

Tiger: 创建个人网站非常简单。你可以用 Word 来制作网页。系统为你预置了 Apache 网页服务。 Catalina: 你需要输入密码才能访问非 HTTPS 站点。Word 需要你的允许才能访问桌面文件夹。在危险操作前请手动为Terminal 开启完全磁盘访问权限。

已知：某公司注册了 1000 个商标，现在给了一个已申请商标的大表，并且扔过来几百个注册证

问：怎么快速知道他们有哪些商标的证没给然后接着去摸鱼？

答：(1) cd 到注册证文件夹，ls -1 | sed -E 's/.([0-9]{8})./\1/' > pbcopy 把文件名里的注册证号抠出来复制到剪贴板，然后粘到 Excel 里； (2) 在给的表里新建一列，填充 =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(…), "NO MATCH")) 把给的号码和刚才粘出来的号码对一下，VLOOKUP 不出来的根据公式会显示 NO MATCH； (3) 用 filter 筛选这一列是 NO MATCH 的记录； (4) 回去接着摸鱼

Could it actually feel kinda enjoyable to those in the room where it happens as a dreams-come-true moment for their inner habitual controlfreaks?
