10x developers exist, but often they leave mess for others to clean up.

The heuristic that market crashes every ~9 years seems to work well. 2020 had a pretty steep correction, so I will wait another 7 years and start worrying. That might not be optimal, but 70% of the time you can predict the weather by saying it will be the same as yesterday.

I have a Hugo blog running on Netlify. All I need is to know if someone has visited it or not. I'm using Google analytics currently but would gladly use something much simpler. Any alternatives?

Why not write on medium and have a Hugo blog? You can publish the same post on both places and link Medium readers to your blog.

Substack is great if you already have followers. Medium is great when you are starting out and looking for readers.

Writer shorter, yes. Write like a robot, no.

I have outsourced my memory to zettelkasten/(second brain) type of notetaking. I'm focusing on trying to understand the fundamentals and core ideas instead of just memorizing stuff. Went back to school after 10 years, let's see how it works out.

It opens on Medium app for me and I can see the post just fine.

I think Derek Sivers gives a good example in his blog post: https://sive.rs/pa

I know it's unrealistic for most dad's but a good ideas to strive for.

Edit: fix name

Honest question: why would you want to remember what you read? Instead take notes or use post-it notes to mark the interesting bits and you can always come back to them, given you have a good enough system for storing and linking. You can't rely on your memory anyway.

What I have learned is that every behavior serves a inner goal or purpose. You can try to figure out what the goal is by asking "by doing this what am I avoiding or what am I seeking".

Do you know of any project that has produced "a Lisp" language?

Overthinking is when the Law of Diminishing Returns kicks in. You can see it happening every day in the meeting rooms while planning new features/releases, we don't really get any new information but it's comforting to just talk about it.

Where I'm from we have similar sayings:

- Don't dive head first into water.

- Measure nine times, cut once.

And a random saying I just remembered: "Autumn has the eyes of a summer and the teeth of a wolf."

Strange, I'm also from an European country, but can see the site fine

Do you have an example channel?

I wonder what it the statistics on missed penalty kicks, as it seems that there are way too many misses/saves by goal keeper.

GOAT as the OG of his field

I think the hard part is that you can't draw something that already exists

Let's Dance is actually a track that gave young Stevie Ray Vaughan a chance to shine with his guitar.

At least for me it seems that jazz is meant to be listened to by musicians. Otherwise you will miss 90% of what's going on. I remember an episode from Youn Indiana Jones Chronicles, where he stumbled upon jazz scene and learned to play a trumpet, he started soloing and everyone was like:"this is not jazz" and I was thinking "this is pretty good". I'm able to enjoy blues because I understand basics of it, but jazz seems way over my head. I wish there was a course, a series that could teach you how to listen.

Sometimes, half asleep I come up with a solution to a problem or a great idea. But then, waking up in the morning it feels like most ridiculous thing.

Reminds me a parable from Are your lights on by Gerald Weinberg.

Sometimes the problem is the notation itself(divided by symbol/fraction doesn't have any meaning to kids yet, and there are at least 4 different ways you can write divided by or fraction of). It might be easier to start off by writing "1 of 8 pieces" and then teach the shorthand 1/8 and then show the connection to division. Basically it's like learning APL for the first time

Not sure what do you mean by blockchain exactly, but maybe how about this: https://guardtime.com/

This reminds me of a time when Shazam went overboard trying to stop a guy who implemented some kind of basic recognition algorithm based off of PHD thesis.

Just a quote I like from Great at Work: "Do less, then obsess"

This reminded me of this Bill Hicks bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPVivwLym-c (trigger warning)

For some reason I was expecting to read how belugas were catapulted over borders.
