People who like reading, are not unfamiliar to Wang Xiaobo, he is one of China's most creative writers, he is China's nearly half a century of misery and absurdity of the crystallization of genius, he died young. His work is the most radical anti-irony of all the absurdity and suffering in our lives. He did what no one had ever wanted to do or do or Cai Li: He spurned the "soft" and sentimental and flattering traditions of modern Chinese literature, while adhering to Russell and Italo Calvino their critical and thinking spirit, while making a creative connection between this tradition and the spirit of the Chinese ancient novel.
people who like reading, are not unfamiliar to Wang Xiaobo, he is one of China's most creative writers, he is China's nearly half a century of misery and absurdity of the crystallization of genius, he died young. His work is the most radical anti-irony of all the absurdity and suffering in our lives. He did what no one had ever wanted to do or do or Cai Li: He spurned the "soft" and sentimental and flattering traditions of modern Chinese literature, while adhering to Russell and Italo Calvino their critical and thinking spirit, while making a creative connection between this tradition and the spirit of the Chinese ancient novel. for Wang Xiaobo also read a "A maverick pig", let me interested in Wang Xiaobo is read "Mac talk" this book wrote Wang Xiaobo in addition to the identity of the writer, is a programmer, and is a very cow programmer. Here are some stories about Wang Xiaobo and the program. Most people know that Wang Xiaobo is a novelist, some of whom are not clear financial writer Wu Xiaobo and novelist Wang Xiaobo is not the same thing. But few people know that Wang Xiaobo can be counted on the early Chinese programmers, in the early 90 because of the lack of domestic application software, love the things of Wang Xiaobo used his leisure time to learn the assembly and C language, compiled a Chinese editor and input method. Chinese editor and Input method any one is a geek to try, such as seeking Baijun. Wang Xiaobo by selling software also earned some money, at that time a lot of village boss to pull him in, of course, write code this to Money fast live to Dick Wang Wang Bo is still attractive, fortunately he still refused the others. Wang Xiaobo wrote a novel why the Reduced (/upgrade) become a programmer? It has to be said slowly. Wang Xiaobo University in the People's University is trade, after graduating in the NPC for several years as a teacher. Then went to the United States Pittsburgh University to read the economics of graduate students, to the teacher told him you are a writer of the Wizards, will be able to dominate the discourse of the literary world. The teacher said you in my this do not have to dry, delicious good live, graduation certificate reproduced, seize time to write a novel. Returned, Wang Xiaobo went back to the people's Congress to do statistics lecturer. because doing statistics, a variety of analysis tools is essential, the previous manual calculation, with the computer of course, the best use of computers, basic science and engineering know how to do a bi-set and work with Matlab how important. So at that time the computer to Wang Xiaobo's work is very important, but in 90, the software is quite scarce, the computer is quite not intelligent. Wang Xiaobo had to write his own software, of course, the development of software is not so simple, so he learned the Fortran, compilation, C and other languages, and then to learn the data structure, algorithm related knowledge, as well as the compilation principle. after making a Chinese editor and input method to solve their own needs, Wang Xiaobo's interest in writing software has not been much. Because he thinks writing software can make money, writing fiction also can make money. In the self-cultivation of a programmer, Wang Xiaobo has continuously optimized the two software from data structures and algorithms. 93, Wang Xiaobo bought a 286, which at the time was a luxurious machine, he himself is these think, happy mess. But this top with machine still can not meet the requirements of Wang Xiaobo, then he spent time on constantly to optimize the machine above. Wang Xiaobo can be counted as a geek. The trade of university studies, then chemistry, and then to the mathematics department. His classmates describe him to solve math problems like killing pigs, especially hot, together to solve, it may feel like playing CS take the head as cool. But the solution is too much to feel no meaning. Wang Xiaobo's male hero in the novel is basically a science and technology male, in addition to daily fantasy there are some strange ideas. Some of them have their own inventions, such as "The Future of the world" in the King II is an engineer, all day thinking and units with the development of the perpetual motive, and the "Red Fly by Knight" in the Li Jing invented a huge machine, in the battlefield, the machine running up waving lever side open and attack the enemy, some people died in the square root 3, Some people fall under the square root of 5. These are the only geek that can be thought out. Wang Xiaobo has done a lot of things, under the township, the university, out of the country, learned the economy, played code, became a novelist, died that year completed the wish to do the screenwriter. Anyway, whatever he did, he let us respect the spirit of independence, the idea of freedom. The following is a collection of information from Wang Xiaobo and his friend's letters about the software, which can be used to understand the achievements of wavelet. Order according to the original letter order, should be the time order.
- December 1988. Before I came back I wrote a letter to the computer station of the NPC, asked them what software to bring, and the supervisor's engineer returned a letter, which I did not receive. They also mentioned it when they came back. Now the domestic software side is chaotic, and gradually has formed the market trend. First of all, in the Ning statistics of the fact that the return to work is not the software can be used. The Macintosh did not enter the Chinese market at all, you do not have to bring a few available IBM microcomputer software back. There's no need to worry too much about what's on the machine. I've got two ibmps/2 in this bullshit computer room. At the machine also a lot. Sasspssstatistx have, can represent the domestic best general statistics microcomputer room level, can be less a suitable for statistical language. Ning if have the APL (aprogramminglanguage) of IBM microcomputer This, can send me copy. I also have an account in the United States, even manual copy fee to write a cheque to you. Glim I have not, as Ning have a person can come. Mailing is too expensive, you can save it.
- January 1990. I am now to the Beijing University of Sociology statistics, in addition to SPSS there is no software available, the domestic this is very poor. I will now use FORTRAN, compiling statistical procedures inconvenient. Brother Wen talked about your use of the S language, do not know whether it is useful. Reference books also do not know how to find out. No matter what, trouble brother find a copy to me, just forget it. As far as I can see, it's enough to solve a variety of matrix operations: Of course, there are various distribution functions. Anyway is blind mixed, I even put the force, less mixed point it.
- May 1990. Xiao Yang in the end also joined the ranks of IBM. As I see it, the Mac is still not available to buy. Because IBM-PC is a huge team of compatible machines. Intel also has a new generation of CPUs, and there will be big developments in the future. Buy microcomputer Money investment is a big event, time, energy investment is greater, buy 386 compatible machine is wise. I may have been transferred to the Monitor recently. Recently cranky came up with a theory, has not been seriously deduced, it is probably set up a plurality of dummy (two) composition of the joint distribution, its total sample points constitute a spherical surface, the distance to point to the total error calculation. So the same point is the point of its no, the biggest error. The rest is thinking.
- February 1991. Brother talk about the IBM Chinese software is not available, it is estimated that the image version of the problem, can be colormonitor on the machine to try. Mac machine is also in the domestic, only less than the United States.
- March 1991. You sent the Yan Shi 2.0A I also received, it is useless. Because accesses than either is 3 to pour, both of the WK I wrote myself have made significant progress. I also self-made the phrase function, is a B-tree, I think self-written software for personal use, feel is the best. Phrase use is not very large, mainly used to define the names of people and other proper nouns, but Yan's software to me still have a significant revelation, pinyin plus four tones is an excellent idea, writing things to the sound sonorous, and other software is very different. Self-write, from paging to editing key assignments, can be in accordance with their own habits, not intentional incompatible also. If you can see Yan Shi, can pay tribute.
- May 1991. Last sent to the software, on the machine a try to find that non-floating-point processor can not operate. Because of the lack of software, domestic machinery is generally not installed coprocessor, sudden hit you this one, do not have a way.
- May 1991. There was nothing to do with the invention. The original Chinese software is a line scanning way out of Chinese characters. I made a use of the adjustment of the font generator method of the Chinese character system, since it is very superior, but also did not find users. This method can be easily in the Western language software on the Chinese window, but also on the SPSS added a few words dozens words.
- September 1991. Xiao Yang Trustee bring software, turnover many days only hand in, floppy some defaced, bad piece of rotten one, not to use. But I am very grateful for the kindness of Xiao Yang. Last year the trustee brought the Chinese software (Yan's byx), I used the good, but also in C language imitation of a, the program is my, pinyin dictionary is someone else's, the bluff, cheated some money. To do this, familiar with the C language, are given by Yang Small.
- September 1991. But now I have no interest in the computer, because found to write novels can also make money.
- January 1992. Compile a disk (with instructions, see Shou), the source program a disk. My tone is different from the same name as Yan. The function is similar to strict, but the function of improving phonetic dictionary is more. The pinyin can be redefined after pressing F4. can also add words, in pinyin to pick the word, press ENTER, enter the national standard to pick the word, the word added to the dictionary. This software consists of five C languages (another two header files) and an assembly language file, which can be compiled with TURBOC, but the assembly part does not have to be re-remitted, the Assembly of the part of the form of the formation of obj (my disk called wk5.obj) on the hard disk, and other C language files apart, Compile with Turboc's commandline compiler with the following command: Tcc-mc-ewka:wk*.ca:wk5.objgraphics.lib Form Wk.exe, but must have yindian,cclib,egavga.bgi three file support to work. *.BGI is an image board parameter table, which can be included in the *.exe. But to change the program. Your machine is good. I also use an old-fashioned XT machine, which is simply outdated. TURBO.C you'll find it. If you have used other C software, one thing to remind you, TURBO.C has a very annoying feature, that is, you alloc in a function of memory, exit the function will not be automatically released, there is also a very bad, is the model problem, the program written under the big model, to the small model can not be used, my program is written in the compact model, I can not use the small to compile, these two are You can be angry with the dead. It is said that you can use a prefix such as far,near to explain the pointer, in fact, fart with no matter. I've been doing it for over a year. C, the conclusion is that microcomputer C can not make people happy, sometimes called the assembly. F1 is the prompt key. My printer has Hancock, F5 you can not use. This printer is lent to me, the performance is very good, (American amt-525), but I do not know how long. I am still in the process of revising this program. and strict software ratio, in the hard aspect of the advantage is to achieve a very good compactness, now compiled is 55k, large expansion. The disadvantage is that the image update without his fast (in my old machine can see the difference), I do not know how he did, I admire. Part of my image is also compiled, repeated optimization, but also not up to his level, have to admit that skill is inferior to people. In addition, the disk file processing, I also write bad. Also need to ask Yang Pa advice.
- July 1992. Yang Small's letter and Mac machine, it seems that you have a lot of machines, gratifying to congratulate. I this an old pc/xt, used for six years not to come down, too ashamed, recently old want to mercilessly heart, spend hundreds of pieces buy a 286 motherboard change, wife and disagree, really deadly. My self-made software and progress, a part of the process of domestication, there have been very novel features. When I change 286, I need to be able to write the virtual address of the C language, do not know if Yang can find?
- September 1992. The software you sent me because it is a three-inch disk, here is very non-universal, so I also useless. What is on the plate, so far do not know. I used the C-series software has been cooked, and made a variety of writing novel tools, other people's software has not been used. Now the main is to write books to make money. From the beginning of this year to write long, first to write a long-time special software, now basic tuning, began to write.
- September 1992. Recursive theory I haven't learned. My brother probably knows something. What I'm talking about is a recursive algorithm within the computer. All the books I read in America are about machines. About the algorithm, data structure and so on, all in the domestic look, also do not know what English is called. In C, it means calling the same function within a function (equivalent to subprocedure in another language). The general procedure can be found in the book. The so-called protection method refers to 286protectedmode. Because the average IBM machine, whether it is 386,486, as long as the DOS operating system, the actual operating memory is only 640K, equivalent to a faster PC. Want to use the extendmemory outside of 640K, only with Pretectmode to use, I intend to change 286, or want to use more than 640K of memory. This is going to have a better programming tool than the present C. Of course, I do not have to use the protection method, there are various EMS software, but I still want to go to 捞摸, more than final touches. MSC I have only seen the 5.0 version, 7.0 version of the performance is not known. But I guess now the popular C should have these means, by this time. I have a period of time very concerned about the development of Personalcomputer, belong to want to play not to have the kind of addiction. The development of this kind of thing is started by the development of processor chip core. Reading the literature from 8088 to 286,386 is a lot quicker than that. From a practical point of view, more than 286 virtual storage protection, 386 more users multi-tasking means. 486 It is said that the 386,387, and 64K cache integrated into a film, not only the integer operation fast, floating point is much faster. But not doing scientific arithmetic, meaning is small. 586 still do not know what is a thing, there must be a surprising place. But in my hand as a word processing, but also throwaway. I have a 286 to use even if it's OK. Too good a thing I can not make out. I heard that the United States computer multimedia made very fire, computer-connected TV, audio, vedio and so on. That sounds pretty interesting.
- October 1992. I didn't know why you did it, but the machine broke down. The man who knocked the 150dollars, man is really rich. This kind of thing told me to meet, I must fix it myself. Now the microcomputer repair are changing the line board, the machine a bad, first find a gauge is not the power supply is bad. As long as the power is not bad, which part of the reckoned is not good, go to buy a block version. Send out also so repair, also want to knock you hand money. I see 150 of all the boards can be bought. In case of failure did not find the right, said that the board is not good, back to him. What brand of board in my machine has, all like you to knock, can play? It's a little fun to do that. For example, you love 486, go to buy a 486 motherboard, the host board for their own, this kind of pointers not afraid of the brand parallel, bad and then change, anyway cheap. My problem is that I can't afford to do this.
- October 1992. I've got a set of turboc++ from my brother, and there's no problem with the software at the moment. Only 286 have not bought, because I heard that China to join the GATT, this kind of things to plunges, money first buy furniture. Anyway, I do not use 486, because to 286 is not to pursue high speed, mainly to solve the memory problem. I now write the software is superb, about 8088 can do everything, I have done. I think it's time to finish writing a novel.
- November 1992. A friend first poured your floppy disk and looked at the number, and didn't move it. Remember the original set of things to do this kind of software, you give, but the disk is bad, and can not find. Today wrote a small program poured out, read the masterpiece, is very interesting.
- March 1993. I finally decided to buy a 286, these days in the transformation of software, a lot of compilation work. At its core, it works under virtual protection mode (virtualaddressprotected) to facilitate extended memory (expandedmemory). Now I am finally completely successful, my software can now edit 400K long files, can put a full-length novel into memory written. Unfortunately, I am still a low-level machine, only 1MRAM, and no hard disk, so it is over. The disadvantage of this program is too low-level, there are a large number of ports (port) operation, although the efficiency is high, compatibility will not be too good. My XT machine to the mountain wife used, I used that machine for seven years, as an old friend, suddenly love cuts, such as the heart cut meat.
- The year is unknown. Our PC is not connected to the Internet. Originally China has a few domestic network development quickly, and now out of the question, who should be on the Internet, must go to the relevant departments to register, leave a record, for the authorities to monitor, there is a little prison smell. I do not want to find this trouble, say, through the Chinanet network, monthly also pay seven hundred or eight hundred monthly fee, I do not have so much money. Now that X is against the information age, we will not enter this era. So I'm writing a good letter.
