Also archived here is a selection of my older posts from Twitter and Weibo, neither of which I remain active on.

You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity.

“You know Apple's messed up when John Gruber starts sounding like John Siracusa.”

wokeness 的风吹到开源项目了 维护者加上这种规则的时候有没想过 protected class 本身还是个美国中心的概念?看谁不爽就赶走就可以 inclusive 了吗?就算假定这么改是出于正义感 噢原来自己把 assume good intention 也删了

不再需要用 Word 工作(准确说是不再需要滥用和误用 Word 工作)以后,已经没有什么能阻挡我走向 iPad-only 了,但与此同时我对 iPad-only 也没什么兴趣了。人生苦短,为什么要让一个玩具 OS 玩弄自己呢

奇怪的对比——你正忙着一层层地建造这座高楼,而实际上地基已经倒塌,人们读的并不是你所期望的。 这一头,我跟同事和老板大谈正在做的精彩故事和精彩报道,另一头,许多人根本不在乎这些,相反跑去读一些你以前都无法想象的东西。 不仅是观点无法想象,更主要是那些事完全不真实。
虚假信息的传播几乎总是比经过事实核查的信息更有效。我个人认为,从长远来看这可能是一个无法解决的问题。现实如此。

「然而,西行运费几乎没有上涨多少,导致了一种吊诡且棘手的现象:集装箱主有动机将集装箱空载运回中国,好加快收到东行运费,而不是等重新装箱以后再一起挣到西行运费。」

在露天或者地上带窗的游泳池里游泳,最高光的时刻莫过于多云天气、太阳不时露脸,光线以一个角度穿过来,然后整个水池变成一种被点亮的织物,虽然有点尬吹,但确实是日常能接触到最接近宗教色彩般的体验

「兴趣爱好是怎么被消费主义化的」,写得好到以为不是在看 Vox
The capitalist value of a “work ethic” has always been present in the world of the hobbyist. We are still proud of ourselves when we perform our hobbies efficiently, competently. Pursuit of mastery is implied, if not always present.

However they arrive at estrangement, parents and adult children seem to be looking at the past and present through very different eyes. Estranged parents often tell me that their adult child is rewriting the history of their childhood, accusing them of things they didn’t do, and/or failing to acknowledge the ways in which the parent demonstrated their love and commitment. Adult children frequently say the parent is gaslighting them by not acknowledging the harm they caused or are still causing, failing to respect their boundaries, and/or being unwilling to accept the adult child’s requirements for a healthy relationship.

Vim 的 ex 模式用惯了真的让人对正则表达式乐不思蜀,比如我想用 stylus 改一个网站的字体,需要从原始 CSS 里找出所有指定了 font-family 的 selector,如果用正则表达式还要磨叽一会,但是用 vim 都不要动脑子:
:g/family/norm k0yt ggpa,
(找到所有包含 family 的行,光标移到上一行行首,选中到第一个空格之前的位置,复制,光标移到文件开头,粘贴,结尾追加一个逗号)
现成的 selector 就给我写好了

A solo walk is like entering into that Writing Room, except the entirety of the world is the room. Alone, walking those countryside villages roads and paths, I am in a near constant state of writing — either working paragraphs over in my head or dictating to my phone. I can’t shut up the writing voice.
这段看得点头如拨浪鼓

The Best Way to Clean Your Ears: With a Spoon
Over time I came to recognize the practice as something more profound: a form of meditation, of mindfulness. You have to be fully conscious, fully present in a world with ever spiraling demands.

The law firm’s staff is slowly trickling back and getting reaccustomed to office life. A particular highlight, said a partner in the firm, is “to be able to look out at the river, all seasons, all times of day."
not my highlight at all and just leave that to yourself, thank you very much.

WWDC 视频里主讲人的多元性实在太过于完美,让人都有点怀疑苹果是不是在确定人选的时候搞了个算法,按照几个维度穷举,务求把所有排列组合都覆盖到,仿佛有点从 affirmative action 变成 quota system 的味道了

果味包容写作指南:Apple Style Guide > Writing Inclusively
整体比较常规,但也有些不太容易想到的点
- 虚构人名要反映多样性:Blair, Etienne, Guillermo, Lee, Mayuri, Priyanka, Shannon, Yen
- 避免用富裕的生活方式举例
- 避免性别二元暗示:「雇用男女员工」
- 通常应避免用盲、聋、哑描述对象;但如果被描述对象视其为一种身份特征,从其偏好
- 考虑具体化描述:「盲」:先天失明、弱视、还是局部视力?
- 避免使用特定感官描述功能:「看」见消息 -> 消息「出现」
- 避免使用贬低暗示的俗语:装聋作哑
