「抵抗、解放的戰略化戰術就是：積極地發明影像！」―― 高重黎《物．像．書》是藝術家高重黎的首部書寫作品，以「可見性的政治經濟動力學」貫穿展開，探討攝影術自發明以來如何藉技術與殖民體系，擴大為全球的「可見性基建工程」與「影像原始積累」。書中集結高重黎近十餘年來的重要論述、訪談、創作筆記，並收錄代表作《幻燈簡報電影：秋刀魚的滋味》與《延遲的刺點：堤2》紙上版等系列與繪稿，全書逾兩百幀圖片，部分為首度公開，廣泛涵蓋影像與感知論題，以及對動畫、攝影、電影與生成式影圖等技術圖像歷史的關鍵分析。本書邀請讀者隨高重黎獨樹一幟的創作理路，對我們自身的視覺精神史進行一次基進考察，拆解影音階級與權力秩序的暴力構造，鑄造奪回感知主權的思想機具和實踐方法！Thing．Figure．Book is the debut written work by artist Kao Chung-Li. Centered on the "political-economic dynamics of visibility," the book interrogates how photography, since its inception, has expanded into a global "infrastructure of visibility" and "primitive accumulation of images" through technology and colonial systems. The book assembles Kao Chung-Li’s essential essays, an interview, and creative notes from the past decade. It also includes paper-based versions and sketches of his representative series, such as Slideshow Cinema: An Autumn Afternoon and Belated Punctum: La Jetée 2. Featuring over two hundred images―some published for the first time―the volume extensi

「《高效的 Rust》是一本超越基礎的實用Rust知識的優秀合集。本書中的建議將幫助你成為一個自信且全面的『Rustacean』。」 ――Carol Nichols，《The Rust Programming Language》共同作者 「《高效的 Rust》深入介紹了我經常提供的專案改善建議。這是一本幫助你提升Rust技能的絕佳資源。」 ――Pietro Albini，Rust核心團隊前成員 Rust具備出色的記憶體安全、型態安全和執行緒安全等特性，受歡迎的程度因而日益提高。然而，這些特性也使得學習Rust成為一項挑戰，即使對經驗豐富的程式設計師而言亦然。這本實用的指南將幫助你寫出符合Rust風格的程式碼，並且教你充分利用Rust的型態系統、安全保證，以及日益壯大的生態系統。 如果你是曾用過其他編譯型語言的軟體工程師，或正想使用基本的Rust語法來寫出實際程式卻不知從何下手，這本書正是為你而寫的。透過專門探討Rust的概念與其他編譯型語言之間的差異，並提供容易遵循的具體建議，作者David Drysdale將引導你寫出流暢的Rust程式，而非僅僅是C++的劣質翻版。 本書將協助你： •瞭解Rust型態系統的結構 •學習錯誤處理、迭代等Rust習慣寫法 •探索Rust的crate生態系統之用法 •使用Rust的型態系統來表達你的設計 •馴服borrow檢查器 •充分利用Rust工具生態系統來建立穩健的專案

[名家名著] 33 無瑕的程式碼 函數式設計篇：原則、模式與實踐 Functional Design: Principles, Patterns, and Practices ❝乍看之下，物件導向和函數式這兩種範式似乎互不相容，一個強調資料抽象與封裝狀態，另一個則倡導不可變與純函數。事實上，即便兩者出發點不同，卻能在合適的脈絡下融為一體，互相補足，最終協助我們打造更強韌、更具表達力的軟體系統。對一位想要同時掌握物件導向與函數式思維的工程師來說，如何在日常工作中權衡並結合這兩種做法，正是本書所提出的關鍵挑戰與寶貴建議。❞ ────微軟最有價值專家(Microsoft MVP)｜本書譯者　張立顗(Poy Chang) ❝Uncle Bob精心展示了函數式設計，這是當今軟體開發中極為流行且高效的設計方式。透過深入的原則和實踐案例，本書不僅適合軟體開發者，也對任何追求卓越程式品質的專業人士都具有極高的實用價值。Uncle Bob的洞見和清晰的寫作風格使這本書成為了一本不可多得的學習資源。❞ ────博碩文化總編輯 & CEO CSM　陳錦輝(Simon) 一本精通函數式程式設計的實用指南，寫出更優雅、更整潔的程式碼！ 在本書中，世界級軟體開發傳奇大師、暢銷書《Clean Code》的作者Robert C. Martin(Uncle Bob)將深入解說，為何要使用函數式程式設計（functional programming），以及如何運用函數式設計來建置更符合實際需求的系統。Uncle Bob將比較傳統的物件導向程式設計(如Java)與函數式語言(如Clojure)所採用的結構，並指出各自的最佳應用場景。他將展示如何在不同的情境下，明智地選擇合適且合理的做法，來建置更優秀、更優雅的系統。 Uncle Bob不僅手法務實，他還將理論簡化，把重點放在「實戰」與「解決問題」的具體做法。透過簡單易懂的範例，開發者將發現，容易學習且語意豐富的Clojure語言，如何幫助他們提升程式碼的整潔度、品質、開發紀律與效率。Uncle Bob還將從函數式程式設計的角度，深入探討廣為人知的SOLID原則與「四人幫」設計模式，解釋這些模式對於函數式程式設計師的價值，並指導讀者如何利用它們來實現更卓越的成果。 【內容亮點】 ・理解函數式程式設計的基本概念：不可變性、持久性資料、遞迴、迭代、延遲
