  • 旺仔牛奶, where 旺仔 is the brand name and 牛奶 is milk. The "milk-flavoured drink" part is translated accurately as it's not pure milk, but has lots of added sugar. It's well-known in China. Search the term on YouTube and you'll find its ads.

    旺仔 literally means a lucky guy or a guy who brings fortune. 旺 originally means hot or flaming and the fortune meaning is derivative. 仔 in itself does mean kid, but here it's more like a diminutive suffix to form a nickname.

  • Specifically for the rate limit issue, a lot of nix's derivations are hosted on GitHub and now and then the rate limit problem comes up when I rebuilds a dev environment.

    Nixos.org is kind enough to host gigabytes of cache, but to get a ~40MiB tarball, we need to beg at the door of M$. Path dependency is really a trap.

  • From the article:

    People attempted to solve the puzzle because they were instructed to, while ants were motivated to carry the load to the third chamber (which was open toward the nest) since the load was made to resemble food.

  • Reminds me of a hilarious bug in early GHC: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/163

    The compiler will delete your source file if there's any compile error. And the user complained only by sending a very polite email to report this bug. Simon Peyton Jones mentioned it in one of his talks and I still find it quite hilarious till this day.
