[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

Ren's quest to dismantle Kathor's corrupt system comes to a head as political machinations and a mysterious disease take hold of the city in this edge-of-your-seat conclusion to the "pulse-pounding" (Publishers Weekly, on A Door in the Dark) New York Times bestselling Waxways series.

50萬人數據實證，不用天分，透過刻意練習，就能培養AI無法取代的能力。 本書作者新井紀子曾主持「機器人能否考取東京大學」AI專案，從中發現AI不理解文字的意義，只能計算文字出現的機率和關聯、透過大量數據找出模式和規律。 更驚人的是，新井發現許多人的閱讀方式跟AI一樣，只是在做統計處理和文字的模式匹配，並沒有真正理解文章的邏輯與含義。這種認識文中每個字但無法正確解讀文章的現象，稱為「功能型文盲」。 為了深入探討，新井開發「讀解力測驗」（Reading Skill Test，簡稱RST），至今已有50萬人參加。測驗結果顯示，即使成績優異的學生、工作表現突出的成人，也可能缺乏「新讀解力」。 新讀解力，指的是準確理解「基於客觀事實所寫成文章」的能力，這種能夠正確理解教科書、說明文、商業文件的能力，有別於閱讀故事、小說時所需的能力。 新井進一步說明，有些學生國語成績很好、讀很多小說，但看不懂數學教科書；有些成人看了很多新聞報導，但無法理解其中的邏輯。問題的根源，在於混淆「生活語言」和「學習語言」兩種語言類型。 我們平常使用「生活語言」度過日常生活、閱讀故事、了解小說主角的心情。然而，學校的教科書、考卷，或是成年之後接觸到的行政文件、商業文件、新聞報導、解說文章，都不是用「生活語言」寫成，而是用「學習語言」撰寫。如果用「生活語言」解讀以「學習語言」撰寫的文章，會導致學力欠佳、人生變色。 新井自己就是最好的例子：國高中時期的她痛恨數學，甚至到「考試結束之後，就把數學課本和參考書丟入鐵桶燒掉」的程度。但成年後，她最終學歷是東京工業大學理學博士，在日本推廣數學的普及教育。轉變的關鍵在於她就讀大學時，發現以前用「生活語言」解讀數學課本，導致考試時看不懂數學題目、數學成績不好。 為了與傳統印象中的閱讀能力明確區分，新井將這種理解以「學習語言」寫成文章的閱讀能力，重新命名為「新讀解力」。 新讀解力的特色包括：1. 用於閱讀「基於客觀事實寫成」的教科書、說明文、新聞報導、商業文件、行政文件等；2. 以「學習語言」寫成；3. 使用客觀和具體的文字；4. 能夠自學。 新讀解力是人類獨有的能力，培養新讀解力的好處包括：理解文章的真正含義、掌握句子的邏輯結構、能夠進行推論和批判性思考、將文字與真實世界連結，對於提升學力、培養自學能力、具備AI無法取代的能力都有幫助。 新井透過50

明天的世界，一定會變得更美好！ 告別分化競爭，看見合一本質 新時代共贏法則，焦點從「我」變成「我們」 所有偉大的進化，憑藉的是合作，而不是競爭對抗 「我們」不是一起變好，就是一起變糟 隨著每個意念的流動，宇宙時刻都在動態重組 我們其實都是創造者，也在被創造 你我的意念相通，就像原子之間的鍵結，緊密相關 我們的每個意念，都是建構宇宙意識的一份子 鍵結，是將所有人凝聚起來的本質力量 影響世界的鑰匙，在於你我意念的加乘效應 本書簡介 達爾文的物競天擇、亞當．史密斯的利益論……三百年來左右全世界人類的思想，告訴我們這是個強者恆強、弱肉強食的世界。這樣的人生觀與世界觀，讓我們經歷了全球經濟模型的全面崩潰、生態危機、水和糧食短缺的威脅。 科學的新發現，推翻了我們一向抱持的自我觀念。所謂的「我」不是為了生存而競爭的孤立個體，所有生物是以合作的動態關係存在著。量子物理學家現在意識到，所有物質都包含在一個巨大的量子連結網絡裡，彼此不斷傳導訊息與交互影響。 量子物理學的最新證據，也提供了令人意想不到的可能性：所有生物是以合作的動態關係存在著。量子物理學家現在意識到，在我們的身體和環境之間，在我們自己與接觸的其他人之間，在每個社群的成員之間，都存在著「鍵結」。 這是一個思想革命的時代，一個意念轉換，可以開創人類的潛能，一個鍵結連動，就能以小搏大，發揮連鎖效應。透過書中的實踐手冊，建立你的「鍵結圈」，培養更緊密的社群關係。 練習提升你的「鍵結意識」 練習一：全面觀照，拓展你的視野 練習二：改變我們跟其他人的關係 練習三：擴展共同體經驗，學習為共同目標攜手努力 練習四：透過日常的無私行為，成為思想改革的行動者 各界推薦 「這本書給了我們改變人生的藍圖，以新的方式生活。書中以最新科學發現為基礎，敘述動人心弦，傳遞最重要的訊息以修補我們的人際關係、周遭和世界，激勵我們在最需要的時刻進入全新的未來。」 ──黛比．福特（Debbie Ford），《黑暗，也是一種力量》(The Dark Side of the Light Chasers )作者 「不落窠臼，不僅充滿科學真相，還有希望和啟示，透過付出和分享提供與他人及自己最真實的和諧生活的準則。」 ──珍娜．艾特伍德（Janet Atwood），《熱情測驗》(The Passion Test)作者 「作者打破人與人之間的連結是肉麻事務的迷思，利用令人

A chapbook featuring the brilliant poem Cornelius Eady wrote for Zohran Mamdani's New York City mayoral inauguration.In Proof: Inaugural Poem Suite, Cornelius Eady gathers a searing, supple body of poems that confront American history, racial violence, civic ritual, and everyday endurance with lyrical precision and moral urgency. Anchored by the title poem--written by invitation and delivered to wide acclaim at the inauguration of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani--this collection moves fluently between public address and intimate reckoning. Eady reclaims the poem as witness, ceremony, and instrument of insistence, drawing connective tissue between past and present, private grief and collective memory. At once fierce and elegiac, Proof: Inaugural Poem Suite affirms poetry's capacity to name injustice, honor survival, and imagine a more capacious civic future.
