今天自己的想法還有跟許老師談過後的筆記

  1. 去找 toung 的 thesis 來看,看看這種跨領域的 thesis 要怎麼寫,看我有哪些跟它相像,哪些跟他不一樣,所以我該因此去找哪些相關的資訊來補足我現在不知道的地方
  2. 自己要知道自己厲害的地方在哪,自己做的東西哪裡好哪裡不好,自己哪些地方進步了,不管別人怎麼說,當建議聽就好,因為最懂得人應該就是你自己。
  3. present 的時候要避重就輕,不是吹牛,也不是說謊,只是先把做的好的,做完成的先present 出來,接著在講哪裡還沒完成,或是哪裡還有 limitation。這樣先讓別人知道你做了什麼,有哪些東西做好了,再講哪些地方沒有做好。不然直接 present 沒做好的地方,會變成別人覺得都是問題,而忘記你其實也做了不少東西。
  4. 我太乖了,ORZ,已經不只一個人這樣講了,不是,是有很多很多人這樣講了。人當然要謙虛,但是,對自己也需要有自信,講話堅定穩重,決不口軟,但也決不要跟別人吵架,因為那樣不值得。
  5. 改變自己,不要期待別人改變,尤其是年紀越大的人越難改。
  6. 要學著去跟自己不同性子的人去相處,你既然明知到對方喜歡怎樣的interaction 方式,雖然必是要直接照著對方的方法做,但是可以試著去改變自己去和它相處的順利一點。

Setting MySQL to Use UTF-8 on MAMP (MySQL 5.5.9, or 5+)

I wanted to setup MySQL to use utf-8 on the MAMP installation on my Mac. I tried the instructions from this article: http://cameronyule.com/2008/07/configuring-mysql-to-use-utf-8/ However, I kept getting error messages that are similar to this one [ERROR] /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqld: unknown variable 'default-collation=utf8_general_ci' I did some search and realized that several variables are deprecated. Reference: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/server-options.html Therefore, I added the following lines into /Applications/MAMP/conf/my.cnf [mysql] character-set-server=utf8 [client] character-set-server=utf8 [mysqld] character-set-server=utf8 collation-server=utf8_general_ci init-connect='SET NAMES utf8' I restarted the server and mysql run successfully with relevant variables being set correctly. In the "Variables" tab under phpMyAdmin interface (ex. http://localhost:8888/MAMP/?language=English) character set c...

ngrok, a service to help you get a public URL for your local webserver

If you are looking for options to test your web app hosted on your own machine (e.g., laptop) remotely with someone, I recommend using a service called ngrok. https://ngrok.com/ It has many usages, but in the context of testing an app hosted on your own machine, the most important part is giving you a public URL that will redirect all the requests to your local webserver (e.g., Apache, Nginx, or whatever server you are running). You can give this URL to a testing participant without the need to host the app on a remote server. For instance, if you are testing your app using a sever on your machine, typically you can access your app in a URL like:  http://localhost:3000/?study=11 Using ngrok, you will have a dynamically generated URL like the following: https://3ebe3c019867.ngrok.io/ The service will redirect requests to https://3ebe3c019867.ngrok.io to http://localhost:3000 You can then share the following link with your testing participant for the participant to use your app. http...

How to update multiple fields in an SQL update statement

Syntax: /* the correct way of putting multiple fields together, using comma */ UPDATE `stories` SET `content`='Once upon a time ...', `update_time`=now() WHERE id=1; Note: there is no 'and' between the fields you are trying to update. You should use comma between each pair of the fields you are trying to update. Otherwise, you will likely get an '0' as the result value in the 'content' field without getting any error message. If you do the following, you will likely get an '0' in the 'content' field, without any error message /* the wrong way of putting multiple fields together, using 'and' */ UPDATE `stories` SET `content`='My Story' and `update_time`=now() WHERE id=1; See also:  http://stackoverflow.com/a/7375371
