摘要

A couple of years ago, I had one of those annoying moments of self-discovery. Sitting at my computer, I clicked on an icon to launch a program. The software obediently uncoiled itself from the storage disk and loaded into memory-then silently folded up again and went away. I clicked on the icon again, and the program went through the same futile pantomime. I clicked a third time, and watched the performance once more. The moment of self-discovery came just in time to save me from clicking yet again. What I discovered was that I must have a fairly peculiar mental model of how a computer works if I could believe that a fourth attempt might be any different from the first three. How long would I have gone on clicking? Did I think I might outlast the machine-prove that I'm more stubborn? If I kept clicking long enough, would I wear down its will to resist? Did I think of the computer as an animal that can be trained by repetition and discipline? Or perhaps I saw it as a dull child who will learn, eventually, if you keep drumming away at the same lesson? Ever since that incident, I have been keeping a diary of computer bugs and my reactions to them. Whenever something goes wrong with one of my computers, I make a note of it: what happened, what I was doing when it happened, what I did about it. The bug logs now run to 25 pages. One reason for keeping these records is to learn something about the nature of computer malfunctions, but what interests me more is the human response to the machine and to the little surprises it holds in store for us. In other words, the aim is not so much to debug the computer as to debug myself.
机译：几年前，我经历了一个令人烦恼的自我发现时刻。坐在我的电脑上，我单击了一个图标以启动程序。该软件乖乖地从存储磁盘上解开，然后加载到内存中，然后再次静静地折叠起来，然后消失了。我再次单击该图标，该程序经历了相同的无效手势。我第三次点击，再次观看了表演。自我发现的时刻正好赶上了让我免于再次单击的麻烦。我发现，如果我相信第四次尝试可能与前三次尝试有所不同，那么我必须对计算机的工作方式有一个相当特殊的思维模式。我点击多久了？我认为我可以比机器更坚强吗？如果我持续单击足够长的时间，我会否舍其抵抗的意愿？我是否认为计算机是可以通过重复和纪律训练的动物？还是我把它看作是一个沉闷的孩子，如果您在同一课上继续打鼓，他最终会学到的？自那次事件以来，我一直在记录计算机错误及其对它们的反应。每当我的一台计算机出现问题时，我都会记下它：发生了什么，发生时我在做什么，对此做了什么。错误日志现在可以运行到25页。保留这些记录的原因之一是要学习一些有关计算机故障性质的知识，但是让我更感兴趣的是人类对机器的反应以及它为我们带来的惊喜。换句话说，目标不是调试计算机而是调试自己。
