Как на самом деле запоминать всё, что прочитал

fedorovpishet.ru/kak-na-samom-dele-zapominat-vsyo-chto-prochital
  • Приложения для сбора хайлайтов из статей и книг не помогают запоминать прочитанное

  • Для того, чтобы запоминать прочитанное не нужна хорошая память

  • Лучший способ запомнить прочитанное — понять то, что ты прочитал

  • Чтобы на самом деле понять прочитанное, нужно приложить усилия

  • Объясняй другим идеи, чтобы лучше понимать и запоминать их

  • Заведи блог

  • Участвуй в сетевых дискуссиях

  • Откажись от автоматизации

Group chats rule the world

sriramk.com

Which leads to the question: what makes one of these work? I’ve been a part of several groups and have tried to stand up many myself and I find the same patterns repeating across all the good ones. The best ones are a “forever dinner party” – good friends and conversation happening in perpetuity. They often share the below.

  • Gardener, not carpenter

  • Cooling rods and nuclear reactors

  • The n-1 group

  • Dinner party alchemy

  • Gravitational pull of a few topics

  • Size and Pruning

  • Shared rituals

Hits-of-Code Instead of SLoC

www.yegor256.com/2014/11/14/hits-of-code.html

How about we measure the amount of times programmers touch the lines. Instead of counting the number of lines we’ll count how many times they were actually modified—we can get this information from Git (or any other SCM). The more you touch that part of the aircraft—the more effort you spent on it, right?

I called it Hits-of-Code (HoC) and created a small tool to help us calculate this number in just one line.

What a nice idea! I installed this program and ran it on Betula and Mycorrhiza codebases. For Betula it's 26350 HoC, for Mycorrhiza it's 137208 HoC. Yeah, Betula is still comparatively young! Hey, what about Mycomarkup? 23443. Oh wow, just a little less than Betula. I expected a small number.

В японской культуре есть такое расхожее выражение «нанацу доогу» — семь предметов (или семь инструментов), которые определяют человека по профессии или по его предназначению.
