五月十日答辩通过后一直在忙着改论文,因为导师一直在督促我在一些证明的细节上完善。到今天终于把所有发现的问题都解决,马上可以提交了。
今天两点才回家睡觉,所以坐学校的巡逻车回家。说来惭愧,我已经很久很久没有晚回家,也就很久没有打电话叫车了。直到最近由于修改论文才又忙起来。司机都很负责,每次等着看我开门进屋才离开。还有10天就要告别 Yale 和 New Haven 了,不知道这会不会是我最后一次坐他们的车。
我想,离开之后,我会很怀念这里的一切。
几天之前是云大附中的八十周年校庆。去年冬天的时候,碧老师曾让我为她们正在为庆祝校庆编辑的一本英文文集写一篇文章。以前从没写过这类文章,于是我就只是写了一篇以回忆中学时光和各位老师。文章寄回去了,在这里贴一份,算是在远方对母校的祝福吧。
更年轻一些的时候总是觉得当前是在为将来的人生道路做准备,眼光该放长远,不能只看到眼前的机会和被短期的愿望所左右。有个人曾经说过(不记得是谁了,可能不止一个人说过): In the end, we are all dead. 到了快奔三十的时候,这样的感觉越来越强烈,为长远打算似乎并不总是适当的,是不是该在自己还年轻的时候去做内心真正想做的事情呢?又到了人生的一个十字路口……
I went to San Francisco from Beijing to attend an academic conference this June. I was travelling with only a backpack, which somehow made me a suspecious target. At the SFO airport an officer demanded to check my backpack. I was carrying a digital camera. Without asking for my permission, and even before I realized what he wanted to do, he already browsed through tens of the photos stored in the camera. I was shocked. Although there was nothing really private there, that was simply unacceptable.
A few days after I went back to China. A very good friend wanted to buy a new DC, so she played with my camera for a while. She politely asked me if it was okay for her to look at the pictures before switching to playback mode.
So much for “respecting other people’s privacy” in US.
这是许丞发给我的,10位著名的软件开发者对几个问题的回答。他们对一些问题有相似的观点,对另一些则有完全不同的答案,看下来蛮有意思的。
