新版 Reeder 要出了。

默認的四個筐是 Links, Later, Bookmarks, Favorites。不太懂應該如何區分後三者，不過它真正的新玩法是可以自己設定新筐，也就是 tag，然後可以將 tag 做成公開的 feed 供別人訂閱。比如這裏是我做的關於 Telegram 創始人 Pavel Durov 被捕的 feed。默認的四個筐也可以分享。如果妳足夠愛自己的話就可以輕鬆做一條「我在讀什麼」的 feed 出來。這個玩法相當具有前社交網絡時代的社交性。

罪过，又一天手冲了三次。

爱一个人要想着怎么让她变好，不是自己以为的好，而是她觉得的好，不然就是让人讨厌了。

课堂设计，从上到下设计，从总目标，细分目标，具体到每一页ppt的目的（可以用树状图表示）。课程设计的思路不用藏起来，要清晰告诉学生。

越吹嘘自己毕业的学校和工作过的公司的人，越是无聊。一个人真正的能力是什么样子，不需要这些证明。

其他人想和你一起玩是一种信任，想与你合作共事也是一种信任。一个是对你人品的信任，一个是对你专业能力的信任。

不确定有没有正确发音，想下这个音是否让人想到其它单词。意义决定发音的限度，如果一个发音让听者想到了其它的含义，那这个发音就错了。（有时候是故意的，产生幽默效果）cost 不确定 o 是发 /ɒ/ 还是 /əʊ/，想下如果发 /əʊ/，让人想到的是 coast。

My Lifetime Reading Plan "But that was my goal: the pursuit of wisdom. And along with it, I wanted to develop a meaningful philosophy of life. That seemed urgently important to me as a teenager. It still does today. I wanted to take the high road, with the right values, and pursue the best goals. I wanted to appreciate the world around me more deeply, more richly—and not just the world today, but also the world in different times and places, as seen by the best and the brightest. Some people will tell you that this is elitist. But I have the exact opposite opinion. For a working class kid like me... lancezhang.micro.blog

How to pronounce £9.50?

Llama:

nine pounds fifty

In British English, when pronouncing amounts of money in pounds and pence, the word "pounds" is used for the whole number part (£9 in this case), and the word "pence" is implied but not spoken for the decimal part (50p). So, the rule is to say the whole number part followed by the decimal part, without saying “pence".

"In my last job I was getting £9.50 per hour." Why does this sentence use "be + Verb ing” form? Llama: "The sentence "In my last job I was getting £9.50 per hour" uses the "be + Verb ing" form, also known as the present continuous or past continuous tense, to describe an action that was ongoing or in progress at a specific point in the past.

"The company will pay for you to get a taxi home" Why there isn't a preposition "to" before home in this sentence? ChatGPT: "In the sentence "the company will pay for you to get a taxi home," the word "home" functions as an adverb, indicating the destination. In English, when using certain verbs or phrases that imply movement toward a place, the destination can be expressed without a preposition. In this case, "get a taxi home" means to take a taxi to your home. If you were to include "to," it would be more common to say "get a taxi to your home," but it's not necessary in this context.
