北欧：从海盗窝到福利社会
上周我走马观花地访问了北欧的丹麦和瑞典两个国家，看了很多博物馆，系统地了解了北欧的历史。北欧不大：瑞典人口只有一千万出头，丹麦六百万，其他国家更小。它们都是经济发达，人民幸福指数超高的地方。了解一点历史的朋友应该知道，这里一千年前可是杀人不眨眼的北欧海盗 Viking 的起源地。本文以丹麦为视角，带你走过它的文明进化史：只要军事上一直输，连...| 一言堂

C罗为什么还在葡萄牙国家队首发？
葡萄牙已经从世界杯淘汰，41岁的C罗基本场场首发，甚至基本场场打满全场。他的水平早已不能适应世界杯这么高水平的赛事， 拖累了葡萄牙的成绩 。作为普通球迷的我都能看出这点，那国家队教练如何看不出来，队友又如何能接受背着包袱踢球呢？| 一言堂

TL;DR: A good tool is and ought to be invisible—striving to make such tools is the goal of a toolmaker.One habit I see a lot, and have to push back on, is taking a tool's shortcomings and reselling them as a "puzzle game" which is "fun" to solve.I don't want my tools to be "fun". I want my tools to be invisible.Text Editor WarsLet's take vim as an example This is just an example, and applies to other editors too..
