    Line Points的頁面用Linux hostapd分享出來的Wi-Fi可以正常運作，然而用macOS的網路分享功能無法瀏覽。這個問題困擾了我好久。之前要開Line Points都是先切換成4G，等到要下載App或看影片再換回Wi-Fi。

    之前聽說scrcpy可以把Android的螢幕同步到電腦上。第一次裝沒跑成功，crash了。

    經過一番測試，發現似乎SDL(scrcpy用的GUI library)會嘗試載入ibus，而強制指定export SDL_IM_MODULE=fcitx後可以正常執行scrcpy。正 …

    Recently I got a mysterious bug. I have a server, and whenever I logouts all sessions, its network is broken. I can neither ping it nor ssh into it.

    The culprit is NetworkManager. "All users may connect to this network" is not checked, so only my account can access the …

  36. Placement new

    For advanced C++ programmers, placement new is nothing special. It can initialize a pre-allocated memory block. However, placement new is more than what you think. It accpets an arbitrary number of arguments of arbitrary types.

  42. OpenCV: strange return value of cvWaitKey()

    In OpenCV, cvWaitKey() might be one of most frequently used functions in interactive applications. For example (code in C++):

    while(true)
{
    doSomething();

    if(cvWaitKey() == 27) // 27 is the key code of Escape
    {
        break;
    }
