I have taken all that people run away from ADHD and made them pillars of my life. And so my ADHD is going to extremes. Now I’m not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing that I have done to myself.
Today I went to Parker Latifi to buy my father an Esterbrook rolling pen case. They had all the Esties. I want to buy a Tortoise Gold as soon as I get money!
They told me that they don’t let all of their catalogue be on the their websites, because they don’t like people who don’t understand pens to just buy them. They told me we keep these for the pen heads who truly want them and come to find them. That is sooo nice.
Also I realized that Estie Tortoise is way more beautiful that the Botanical Garden…
Some days ago, I read this thing that said “You have to put a lifetime to learn how to draw like a child again”. I was thinking, I never learned to draw like a grownup…
With everything said, TWSBI Eco is still the best pen out there…
I ruined Archive , the second that I added dynamic things like handles to it. The whole point of it is to be static and now if I rename something today, you will think it was always named this…
Stickers in iMessage are interesting, you have to buy them so they are commodity. And Apple has to agree to sell them on their store. Basically you have to pay for the power of expression…
And in telegram stickers are free and everyone can make them without supervision, so there is a rich set of cultural towers when it comes to stickers. People may think its just an app, but its their whole culture and power of expression…
Bow the funny things is comparing Iranians to Americans here. The first has cultural background put into the app (as everyone uses telegram) the other has a sterile woke culture designed as a commodity of companies. And this “culture as a product” in America is sooo strange for me.
You see American memes and cultural slang and whatever and they all feel empty and basically like an ad. Look how they say “You are so like [Celebrity Name]”, I have not seen this is any other culture…
- Rule 1. You can’t tell where a program is going to spend its time. Bottlenecks occur in surprising places, so don’t try to second guess and put in a speed hack until you’ve proven that’s where the bottleneck is.
- Rule 2. Measure. Don’t tune for speed until you’ve measured, and even then don’t unless one part of the code overwhelms the rest.
- Rule 3. Fancy algorithms are slow when n is small, and n is usually small. Fancy algorithms have big constants. Until you know that n is frequently going to be big, don’t get fancy. (Even if n does get big, use Rule 2 first.)
- Rule 4. Fancy algorithms are buggier than simple ones, and they’re much harder to implement. Use simple algorithms as well as simple data structures.
- Rule 5. Data dominates. If you’ve chosen the right data structures and organized things well, the algorithms will almost always be self-evident. Data structures, not algorithms, are central to programming.
