raindropthe optimal solution
People with different industry backgrounds have different ideas about how to solve problems. However, the final optimal solution can not be obtained from a single perspective. Perhaps the optimal solution is a combination of offline handling and online crowdsourcing. For example, users ride vehicles scattered in remote areas to a series of parking spots that may not be where we want them to be, but are on the optimal path for moving vehicles offline. Moreover, the flexible setting of the rout...

One cold Sunday, Mark came home with a bag of small silver fish. This is Xiang Yu, or ice fish as the locals call it. He had bought it in a shop in the town to the south, opposite where a small village had sprung up on the ice of the lake, a collection of simple wooden houses with holes drilled around them. I've seen a snowmobile ride from the shore to a cabin with a six-pack of beer strapped to the back, like a half-dozen mini passengers. "Sit down and rest," Mark said. "I'll cook....

The farm is a three-hour drive southwest. We set out before dawn, but the place had been covered by another winter snow for a week. The farm is on a windy plateau that is truly in the middle of nowhere. The plows had more pressing roads to shovel, and the last five miles were so deep that they were almost impassable. We skidded in circles all the way, with no traction compared to the man pulling the sledge in front of us, who was driving two steady Belgian mares. There was a box of brown chic...

How great would it be if you could buy time to read while you were buying books! However, people often confuse buying books and reading to learn, two completely different behaviors.
Expecting a man to remember everything he has read is like asking him to keep everything he has eaten in his stomach. Food nourished his body and books filled his spirit, both of which made him who he was. But just as the body absorbs only what it can digest, so a man can only remember what interests him, that is, what is in line with his general thoughts or goals of interest.
"Review is the mother of learning." Any important book should be read twice in a row. This is because on the second reading, we can better grasp the overall content of the book - knowing the end, we can really understand the beginning; on the other hand, when we read it again, we may have a different state of mind, and thus get different impressions from the book—like appreciating the same object in different light.
Every work is the quintessence of a man's mind, so it's better to read a man's work than to associate with him, even if he has the greatest mind. Even what is written by an ordinary man may be instructive or entertaining, and worth reading—for these are the quintessence of his thoughts, the fruit of all his thinking and research; and in his dealings with himself, it may be the case that Unsatisfactory. It is possible to enjoy reading the book and not be dissatisfied with the person. When the cultivation of ideology and culture reaches a certain height, one can only find recreation and entertainment from books, rather than seeking pleasure from people.
Nothing purifies our hearts like an old classic. Just pick up a classic, even if you only read it for half an hour, you will feel that your whole body is refreshed, your body and mind are comfortable and clear, your spirit is detached and invigorated, as if you have been cleaned by a mountain spring. Is it because of the perfect character of ancient languages, or because of the greatness of the minds of those writers whose works have survived thousands of years? Maybe both. But I know that as soon as we give up learning an ancient language (and there is a tendency to do so now), a new kind of literature emerges, one that is superficial, crude, worthless and beautiful.
