    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。

    TL;DR security.nocertdb設定為true會讓Firefox Sync無法運作,改回false即可

    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 …

  17. 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.

    See the following code snippet:

    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    #include <vector>

  19. 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;
        }
    }
    

    This works in Windows, but not work in Ubuntu. Both C++ version and python version can't catch …
