英文中“换行”为什么是“line feed”呢？“feed”如何解释？

在计算机还没有出现之前，有一种叫做电传打字机（Teletype Model 33）的玩意，每秒钟可以打10个字符。但是它有一个问题，就是打完一行换行的时候，要用去0.2秒，正好可以打两个字符。要是在这0.2秒里面，又有新的字符传过来，那么这个字符将丢失。

于是，研制人员想了个办法解决这个问题，就是在每行后面加两个表示结束的字符。一个叫做“回车”，告诉打字机把打印头定位在左边界；另一个叫做“换行”，告诉打字机把纸向下移一行。

这就是“换行”和“回车”的来历，从它们的英语名字上也可以看出一二。

后来，计算机发明了，这两个概念也就被般到了计算机上。那时，存储器很贵，一些科学家认为在每行结尾加两个字符太浪费了，加一个就可以。于是，就出现了分歧。

Unix系统里，每行结尾只有“<换行>”，即“\n”；Windows系统里面，每行结尾是“<换行><回车>”，即“\n\r”；Mac系统里，每行结尾是“<回车>”。一个直接后果是，Unix/Mac系统下的文件在Windows里打开的话，所有文字会变成一行；而Windows里的文件在Unix/Mac下打开的话，在每行的结尾可能会多出一个^M符号。

What are Walkthroughs?

Walkthroughs are step-by-step software solutions that guide users through a series of actions to help them complete a process. They are used to train people on specific workflows, tasks, new software, and apps. Employees will often complete several walkthroughs to assist with their onboarding phase, but the tools can be used at any stage to walk people through new objectives.

 

Database normalization is the process of structuring a database, usually a relational database, in accordance with a series of so-called normal forms in order to reduce data redundancy and improve data integrity. It was first proposed by Edgar F. Codd as part of his relational model.

Normalization entails organizing the columns (attributes) and tables (relations) of a database to ensure that their dependencies are properly enforced by database integrity constraints. It is accomplished by applying some formal rules either by a process of synthesis (creating a new database design) or decomposition (improving an existing database design).
