its not a web-app its an app you install from the web →

相较 Native App,Web App Coding 有哪些优势?

Anyone with a text editor and a browser can do it.

You can learn the basics and actually publish a website in a weekend, as an amateur, without much trouble.

而如果你要做一款原生本地的 iOS app,要麻烦的多(Making a native iOS app, by contrast, is difficult and time consuming):

you have to pay Apple $99;

you have to download XCode and learn how to use it, along with a strange language called Objective-C;

you have to create, sign, and upload certificates;

you have to compile your code and figure out how to run it on your device;

and you have to publish it for others to see, which requires navigating all the rules, regulations, and technical issues surrounding the App Store.

话糙理不糙。好吧,话也不糙,句句属实。

Letters of Note: The morning mail is my enemy →

这本来又是一篇关于 Productivity 的文章。

又。

但是儿童作家的语言是如此的不同而平和:

“I would like to write another book for children but I spend all my spare time just answering the letters I get from children about the books I have already written. So it looks like a hopeless situation unless you can start a movement in America called ‘Don’t write to E. B. White until he produces another book.’”

I’m sorry this letter has been put off for so long, but there has been serious illness in my family and I have let things slide in consequence.

他跟读者说,希望这封信回到读者的手里,因为,这会让读者二十年后高兴:

I assume you were disinclined to exhibit it, but I think the letter belongs to Cathy and if you’ll send me her address I’ll return it—she might like to have it about twenty years from now when she can fully understand what it is all about.

再比如:

Cathy, as I recall it, asked me why I had not written another book for children, so I told her. (I don’t always tell the exact, whole truth to children, but my tendency is to do just that.)

高效的思考者的诀窍 →

与最原始的源头相比,大多数普遍流传的历史故事里英雄更英勇,恶棍更邪恶,战争更血腥,和平更辉煌。

Cannot be more right.
