對多數人來說，電力很少被特別注意，或許只存在於按下開關後的明亮、遙控器一按就吹出的冷氣、睡前為手機插上充電線的一刻，或是帳單上每兩個月一次出現的數字。然而，隨著數位轉型時代來臨，各行各業更加重視服務品質與用戶感受，電力服務正逐步從單向供應，走向增強雙向互動的智慧化用電賦能。本期聚焦呈現智慧電表基礎設施（Advanced Metering Infrastructure，AMI）布建後的數位應用成果。當全臺超過410萬具智慧電表持續計算、回傳資料，如何將龐大的用電數據，轉譯為大眾看得懂、用得上的生活資訊，便成為台電近年推動數位轉型的核心挑戰之一。除了硬體升級，台電亦積極調整角色定位，從單純的發電與供電者，轉化為陪伴用戶的「能源管家」。透過手機下載「台灣電力APP」，讓AMI資訊落實為貼近生活需求、提升居家用電可視化的多元服務。經由人工智慧（Artificial Intelligence，AI）演算法導入，用戶透過台灣電力APP、無需安裝額外裝置，即可於「住宅用電分析」服務，看到家電耗能情形，使「節能」從口號轉化為有跡可循的日常行動。這些AMI資訊也在台電跨單位協作研發下，延伸至社會關懷應用，例如透過「用電作息指標」分析用電規律性，為獨居長者織起一張隱形的守護網。從台灣電力APP上的曲線圖表，到結合在地慶典的實體推廣活動，台電持續拉近電力與民眾之間的距離，讓電力服務不再只是生硬冰冷的公共建設，而是更貼近生活的日常服務，並期盼為臺灣智慧電力生活的未來藍圖，描繪出更具溫度的樣貌。

[名家名著] 37 Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs中文版：掌握軟體開發中的錯誤、取捨與關鍵決策 Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs: How to make good programming decisions ❝Teddy長期研究Pattern Language，有一個很深的體會：每一個設計決策，都只是「局部的回應」。真正困難的，是把這些局部組織成一個和諧的整體。 AI可以提供大量「局部解法」，但整合這些解法需要的，是對「這個團隊、這個市場、這個時間點」的情境理解。這種情境沒辦法完全寫成規格書，因為它牽涉到人的能力邊界、組織的演進節奏、技術債的承受極限。這些東西每個專案都不一樣，而且會隨時間改變。這不是AI的context window再怎麼變大就能解決的問題。 要看見整體，不能只盯著零件。AI幫你把門檻拉低之後，真正稀缺的能力，是在眾多可能性之中，做出有脈絡、能長期承擔的選擇。不是盲目的節制，而是清楚知道代價之後，有意識地決定扛下哪些、放掉哪些。 如果鄉民們希望自己在AI時代，不只是會下提示詞的PM，而是能為系統負責的架構師，那麼這本書值得細細品味。❞ ────「搞笑談軟工」板主Teddy Chen　專文推薦 ❝在軟體工程的實務現場，幾乎沒有哪一個決策是「免費」的。每一次選擇某種架構、某種設計模式、某種API風格，或某種錯誤處理策略，實際上都意味著放棄其他可能性。這些放棄，往往不會在當下立即顯現代價，而是潛伏在未來的維護成本、效能瓶頸、擴充困難、組織協作摩擦與技術債之中。 《Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs中文版》所關注的，正是這些在實際上線系統（production systems）中反覆出現的取捨問題。本書並不試圖建立一套抽象理論，而是從具體情境出發：在特定背景、限制與壓力之下，團隊如何做出選擇？有哪些替代方案？當時忽略了什麼？哪些後果在事後才浮現？哪些判斷其實是合理的，只是代價延後到未來？ 這樣的視角，使本書成為一本極具實務厚度的工程決策紀錄。❞ ────博碩文化資深編輯與翻譯　盧國鳳 ❝真希望我能在職涯更早期就讀到這本書。書中濃縮了許多從實務中得來的寶貴經驗。❞ ────Dave Corun，Avanade ❝清楚而精準地總結了多年軟體工程實務的精華，新手與老手都值

For the first printing only! This hardcover features exclusive painted edges while the special edition supply lasts. In a world ruled by the tenets of Greek mythology, one girl's fate is more than it appears in the first book in a new dark academia fantasy middle grade series from #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Crave series Tracy Wolff. What's your myth? Penelope Weaver has spent her whole life preparing to attend Anaximander's Academy, where students learn how to bring to life the stories of Greek mythology as well as discover the Greek god whose principles they most embody. Penelope knows she's an Athena--all smart, practical, and rule-following girls who take part in stories that matter are Athenas.
