The usually interesting Paul Graham has written a longgg piece (I guess c. 8k-10k words) which meanders a bit; it is a bit unstructured, and is a gathering of thoughts around getting ‘great work done’. However - that’s the point: it’s a really interesting and worthwhile read, with lots of nuggets of wisdom throughout. The journey is the point!

"Another reason kids persecute nerds is to make themselves feel better. When you tread water, you lift yourself up by pushing water down. Likewise, in any social hierarchy, people unsure of their own position will try to emphasize it by maltreating those they think rank below. I've read that this is why poor whites in the United States are the group most hostile to blacks."

"People who do good work often think that whatever they're working on is no good. Others see what they've done and think it's wonderful, but the creator sees nothing but flaws. This pattern is no coincidence: worry made the work good." — Paul Graham — — — #PaulGraham #quote #quotes #work #quality #worry #insecure #excellence

在多年寻觅的城市里度过新年时看到这篇文章真是一种奇妙的体验

Nel 1996
36mln di persone usavano Internet.
Oggi 5 miliardi.

Cosa usano oggi 36mln di persone che potrebbero usare 5mld di persone tra un po'?

La domanda é del buon vecchio #PaulGraham su spunto di un tweet di Jon Erlichman.

A voi cosa viene in mente?
Io penso ai 50 milioni di set venduti ad oggi per realtà aumentata e dico quindi più in generale la #mixedreality che, indubbiamente, si porta dietro anche un buon pezzo dell'ipotetico ecosistema Metaverso.

Paul Graham vs. Elon Musk:

A reflection of human society. On the one hand we have thoughtful wisdom and knowledge, on the other hand the carefree elephantism of raw power.

I did not dare to post this on Twitter. Others got banned for less.

Gather round, children! It is time to tell you a very very sad story. #PaulGraham

If #mas.to doesn't ban Paul Graham #paulg #paulgraham , or otherwise show him the door, I am going to close my alt account there.

I made an account there because I thought mas.to was well connected, but the presence of a billionaire on there is a liability for connectivity.

Puoi scrivere "bene" senza leggere "bene"?
Puoi pensare "bene" ed avere "buone idee" senza leggere "bene"?
Quanto è importante leggere se l'obiettivo è andare oltre alla semplice acquisizione di informazioni?

Un'interessantissima riflessione del maestro #PaulGraham, mai banale.

> なぜ1950年代の言語が時代遅れにならないか.. それが技術じゃなくて数学だった.. 数学は色あせない。 Lispを比較する対象は.. クイックソートのアルゴリズムだ。それは1960年に発見され、 いまだに汎用ソートアルゴリズムとして最速だ。
> ... the short explanation of why this 1950s language is not obsolete is that it was not technology but math, and math doesn't get stale. The right thing to compare Lisp to is.. the #Quicksort algorithm.. discovered in 1960.. still the fastest general-purpose sort.

"In 1982 the most common source of wealth was inheritance. Of the 100 richest people, 60 inherited from an ancestor. There were 10 du Pont heirs alone. By 2020 the number of heirs had been cut in half, accounting for only 27 of the biggest 100 fortunes."

The Commercial High School 商業高校 students study Java in place of Cobolプログラミング検定 now. So Paul Graham and Guy Steele came to mind: "We were after the C++ programmers. We managed to drag a lot of them about halfway to Lisp."" --- Guy Steele quoted by Paul Graham. I'd love to see how to work with a classroom, DrRacket, _The Schemer's Guide_, and The Graded Direct Method.
