Because we aren’t committing to a roadmap, we aren’t setting expectations. And because we don’t set expectations, we don’t feel guilty when that great idea never gets any build time because we decided something else was more important.

All of these obstacles are your life, and it would be a shame to not be happy while experiencing each of them.

It’s okay to return to my baseline. It’s okay for my day to only contain eating, working, reading, and sleep, even if I want thirty other things, too

The momentum can’t build if it’s constantly derailed at the start. The climate crisis […] can essentially be what brings us all together to work towards a common and greater goal.

That last line is worth repeating: “Blogging is an essential tool toward meditating over an extended period of time on a subject you consider to be important.”

What Stan needs to realize is that a disciplined approach to making things is just one part of the puzzle. The other part is about simply living his life, and having the freedom to explore his surroundings and interests.

“emotional intelligence” has become an organizing principal for my moving through, and responding to the world. It’s become a prime characteristic by which I qualify who I want to be spending more time with.

Insane wealth doesn’t insulate children from the harshness of the world around them. Just because you’re rich doesn’t mean your life is going to be good, or even easy. The key to making any relationship last is making an effort. What does making an effort look like? Remembering things about people, reaching out to them regularly, letting them know you care. I’ve become a big fan of phone calls.

It may be quite hard to find a reviewer that both knows the math and can deal with the code.

This was one way to be inside the world rather than outside looking into a bright window.

I’ve generally had a hard time accepting kindness from others due to fear of inconveniencing others This is definitely one of the pitfalls of working alone as an indie maker. It allows me to indulge that tendency and try to do everything myself rather than building relationships and learning that it's okay to depend on others.

All those things aren’t how we measure success—we only think of the big things like falling in love, finding a great job, making a beautiful thing. But cleaning the dishes and doing laundry is what really stands in the way of the big things and us.

When I talk about [underdeterminism], I jokingly give the example of where Twitter would be today if the service had been built strictly as a way to share information about baseball games.

A cross between a text message thread and a blog post about inter-generational conflicts, Boomer as a state of mind, cultural differences between Zoomers and Millennials, and what it feels like to grow up Very Online.

There is no clear winner, only an ever-changing list of survivors. Losing is just a failure to adjust and relate to the present context most directly.

In pandemic times, fears of waldenponding seem less applicable. It's not about building a new city or society, but a transient, protected retreat. (e.g. the Recurse Center). …It seems valuable to shield these sorts of endeavors from an environment that's increasingly hostile to knowledge work.

In the early 2000s social media sites like Facebook and Twitter weren’t commonplace yet. Even text messages, at ten cents each, were something to be rationed. For many teenagers the primary means of communication outside school was AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). So when it was announced in October that they were shutting down AIM after 20 years, I felt a wave of nostalgia for the messaging app of my youth.

For myself, when I read this many years from now. I woke up and Miranda had decorated the kitchen with giant 3-foot shiny golden balloons: 40! There was an incredibly lovely cake from Sparrow Bakery and cards that made me cry both from her and from Ruby. Ruby is just 2 years old. She’s so […]

This is the first part of a 3-part talk on p-adic numbers for advanced high school students. It is part of a series organized by the Berkeley mathematics circle. We define the 10-adic integers, which are similar to ordinary integers except their decimal expansion can be infinitely long. We show that one can do addition, multiplication, and subtraction with them. However they have some problems because it is possible for two nonzero 10adic integers to have zero product. We will see how to fix this in the next video.

The act of donut-eating has actually helped me feel like I’m accomplishing my career goals. […] I found that it resonated with others, especially young career-driven women who are routinely achieving goals and furthering their career but don’t take the time to note their own success.

This next project might take one year, five, or twenty, but it is not you. You are a superset of what you do, not a subset. Narratives based in past behavior are by definition out of date. Sometimes allow yourself to just be open to possibility of the next moment being different. How does the story change in this moment? The key to talent development of yourself and others: propulsion off cliffs with parachutes one size too small. Sometimes you land hard but your wings build muscle.

Using Twitter the other day, finding myself sucked into a far-off event that truly does not matter, it occurred to me that social media is an orthographic camera.
