Jucao Liang's Space8月12日 奥运金牌:一将功成万骨枯昨天看到朱启南以微弱差距痛失金牌,泪洒赛场,觉得有些感动。但是换一个角度想一想,其实他已经是一个幸运儿了,两届奥运会,一金一银,年纪轻轻已经功成名就。体育就是一个残酷的职业,一将功成万骨枯,金牌只有一个,无数搞体育的人努力一辈子也许连奥运会都参加不上。比如在中国一些优势项目,象乒乓球、羽毛球、女子举重等等,很多有才华有天分的运动员只能默默地为那些明星队员做绿叶,有的甚至只能做陪练。得了金牌的人,风光无限,不仅名利双收,而且后半辈子无忧。而那些一般的运动员,到退役的时候甚至连出路都没有,除了体育,没有一技之长,难以融入这个复杂的社会。 全世界也许只有中国把这些奥运冠军抬得那么高,上升到了民族英雄的境界。当然他们付出的的确也很多,但是如果过分抬高奥运金牌,无疑会让很多人急功近利,没有得到金牌就痛苦难当,心理难以得到平衡。从某种意义上来说,对运动员就是一场赌博,赌赢了名利双收,赌输了就什么都不是,这样其实并不好。 顺便说一下,中国男足是奥运盛宴里的一粒老鼠屎,输球输人,希望他们尽早安静地走开,哪儿凉快哪儿呆着去。 7月28日 推荐一个不错的在线任务管理工具:Remember The Milk最近在网上看到一个不错的在线任务管理工具:Remember The Milk (http://www.rememberthemilk.com)。这个网站的名字很有意思,设计也应用了当前最流行的Web 2.0技术。PCWorld评价它说“Remember The Milk 重造了任务列表(Todo list)”。运用这个工具,你可以管理个人的日常任务,也可以和同事朋友共享任务,也可以分配任务给他人,相当方便。而且它还提供了和主流网络工具比如Gmail、Google Calendar等的整合。 也许Google应该把这个小公司买下来,整合到它的产品线里面。 7月16日 [ZT] 转帖一篇不错的Blog: Google给学生的建议今天看到一篇不错的Blog文章,是Google一个VP给学生的建议,转帖在此,和大家分享。 Management guru Peter Drucker noted that companies attracting the best knowledge workers will "secure the single biggest factor for competitive advantage." We and other forward-looking companies put a lot of effort into hiring such people. What are we looking for? At the highest level, we are looking for non-routine problem-solving skills. We expect applicants to be able to solve routine problems as a matter of course. After all, that's what most education is concerned with. But the non-routine problems offer the opportunity to create competitive advantage, and solving those problems requires creative thought and tenacity. Here's a real-life example, a challenge a team of our engineers once faced: designing a spell-checker for the Google search engine. The routine solution would be to run queries through a dictionary. The non-routine, creative solution is to use the query corrections and refinements that other users have made in the past to offer spelling suggestions for new queries. This approach enables us to correct all the words that aren't in the dictionary, helping many more users in the process. ... analytical reasoning. Google is a data-driven, analytic company. When an issue arises or a decision needs to be made, we start with data. That means we can talk about what we know, instead of what we think we know. ... communication skills. Marshalling and understanding the available evidence isn't useful unless you can effectively communicate your conclusions. ... a willingness to experiment. Non-routine problems call for non-routine solutions and there is no formula for success. A well-designed experiment calls for a range of treatments, explicit control groups, and careful post-treatment analysis. Sometimes an experiment kills off a pet theory, so you need a willingness to accept the evidence even if you don't like it. ... team players. Virtually every project at Google is run by a small team. People need to work well together and perform up to the team's expectations. ... passion and leadership. This could be professional or in other life experiences: learning languages or saving forests, for example. The main thing, to paraphrase Mr. Drucker, is to be motivated by a sense of importance about what you do. These characteristics are not just important in our business, but in every business, as well as in government, philanthropy, and academia. The challenge for the up-and-coming generation is how to acquire them. It's easy to educate for the routine, and hard to educate for the novel. Keep in mind that many required skills will change: developers today code in something called Python, but when I was in school C was all the rage. The need for reasoning, though, remains constant, so we believe in taking the most challenging courses in core disciplines: math, sciences, humanities. And then keep on challenging yourself, because learning doesn't end with graduation. In fact, in the real world, while the answers to the odd-numbered problems are not in the back of the textbook, the tests are all open book, and your success is inexorably determined by the lessons you glean from the free market. Learning, it turns out, is a lifelong major. 7月14日 听过Ivar Jacobson的Presentation今天听了Ivar Jacobson的Presentation。Ivar是一个瑞典人,早年是爱立信的首席架构师。他看起来年纪真的不小了,还要在世界各地四处奔波讲学,实在不易。他的口音显然是欧洲的口音,听起来不是很习惯,更像是英式英语。一场presentation听下来,主要的收获就是:
Dr. Jacobson还是很幽默的,中间甚至穿插了一个笑话。但总的来说,他更显得是一个学者,不像一些市场销售人员的presentation那样有煽动力。 7月13日 Dr. Ivar Jacobson的Presentation明天将会有幸听到Dr. Ivar Jacobson的Presentation,有些期待。Jacobson是软件业的大牛之一,发明了UML和RUP。他前些年从Rational(后来被IBM收购)出来创立了自己的咨询公司(http://www.ivarjacobson.com/locales/china.cfm),在中国应该有不少业务,所以最近常在CSDN上看到他去北京的消息。 6月26日 我对云计算的一些粗浅理解最近云计算(Cloud Computing)是一个很热门的技术词语,各大公司也在这方面开始了军备竞赛。下面是我对云计算的一些粗浅理解:
这就是我的一些粗浅认识而已,见笑了。:) 6月19日 世上本无事,庸人自扰之最近一直觉得有些心绪不宁,有些烦躁。静下心来想想:其实世上本无事,庸人自扰之。这世界在不断变化,但是很多做人做事的基本原则其实并没有改变。只要自己内心足够清静,不为周围的聒噪所动,一样可以过得平安愉快。其实象中国很多边远地区,人们物质上很贫乏,但是他们照样过得健康快乐,因为他们周围没有一些不必要的喧嚣和诱惑,眼不见心不烦。 在上海这样一个都市里,已经很难找到一个宁静的空间了,如果有的话,它只可能存在于我们自己的内心深处。 |
