1/x 新解

2007-04-04

LaTeX fragment 本來的樣子相信不少人都會很清楚：

LaTeX fragment

不過，上圖不是 LaTeX fragment，只是我分開兩段線段畫而已。PSTricks 非常特別，如果真的要畫 LaTeX fragment 整條曲線（包括 x=0 的時候），保證拍案叫絕：

pstricks 繪畫出來的 1/x

它非常努力地，想將兩段曲線用 Bézier curve 串在一起。我只是不太想得通它為甚麼能夠經過原點 (0,0)，除非它將這個位置的值捨棄掉，或者根本沒計算這點，否則不太可能會畫得出來。

lighttpd is a recognized web server now

2007-04-04

By ‘recognized’, I mean lighttpd is included in Netcraft Web Survey as of April 2007. Traditionally, only 4 kinds of web servers are included: Apache, Microsoft IIS, Sun (was Netscape) and Zeus.

Such blue moon event is almost impossible, given that Apache plus IIS accounts for 90% of market, with Sun and Zeus summed up taking another 2%. This is unquestionably a status boost for lighttpd.

And to make sure this is not treated as hoax, the timestamp of the report is set to be April 2nd, though it is actually posted on April 1st.
