That's an impressive bug hunt. Same code, different behavior.
I can't imagine how much time the guy spent on finding this one. And how much satisfaction once he finally nailed it.
Personally, a text area is the only thing I need to express my gratitude. I'm doubtful about a UI that would "encourage" it.
The last time I wrote on a GitHub issue, I started my message with a warm thankful line to the maintainer for his fabulous work. I meant it, and I didn't need any "reminder" to say so. It felt natural and important to me. I also put relevant informations to show my interest and the time I spent thinking about it. In the end, I believe it's more about the person posting, rather than the interface encouraging it, but I may be wrong.
Nice read.
Writing can be magic, both for the reader and the author.
If only working hard to make it clear for the reader.
It might be just me, but "struggling to get it" can lead to better explanations.
From the article:
- It just needs for the writer to work hard to make it clear
Writing is humanity’s superpower — when done well, it informs, provokes, and entertains.
- When an author takes the time to prepare a high-quality article, knowledge flows seamlessly from one mind to another.
- If you’re curious about a topic, or even confused by it, the best thing you can do is write about it.
I'm fond of my early development tools: Hypercard, Resedit, Think Pascal, MacsBug... It gives me rainbows whenever I think about it, no matter how grey my developer life currently is.
May I ask where can we find the "sister web app typeatap"? I'm slowly introducing my 3.5 yo daughter with the keyboard. She can pronounce letters from A to Z, and write them on paper in upper case. I'd love to hear about more educational app like this!
Accelerated learning is fascinating because learning today is so inefficient. Combine that with the massive knowledge that accumulates over the years.
Elon Musks said it himself. Along with Solar Energy, Mars colonization, AI, knowledge acquisition needs to be disrupted. Something like bio-technology with transplanted chips.
Reading books is a very old way, and it doesn't scale well. Listening to podcast isn't very efficient either. Gamification has not been effective enough so far.
You can also see it in "Matrix", when training in a virtual world with a karate-training program that interacts directly with the brain. As you do when dreaming, but in an interactive way.
In the "Fifth Element", there's also a scene where Milla Jovovich (an advanced being) learn all Human History in a matter of hours/minutes with accelerated reading/watching the Internet.
I'm sure there are many other examples of people putting "accelerated learning" as one feature of the future.
I agree this is an important lesson. Not everyone is aware of it, or else people would obviously avoid pointless arguments and acting in futile ways.
Arguing for 5 minutes or 10 minutes can consume your whole day afterwards (in your own mind).
When you say something, be it bad or good, words will continue to resonate silently in her mind (and yours).
I also noticed when I'm working at something really important, or when I'm on an epiphany of discovering some glorious truth, I naturally don't mind any argument thrown at me. I'm just focused on that beautiful and exciting thought, and no external input could shake it out of my head.
I then realized how futile other person's worries and "sadness" are.
It's relativity: the wider your awareness (and the brighter your thoughts), the more shocking it is to see people "closed minded", prisoner of their own thoughts's limitation, and self-imposed grief.
Oddly, we keep going from one to the other. Sticking with mindfulness is hard.
