I was convinced an easy way to spot something unnatural, in a natural earth like setting was to simply look for straight lines and perfectly right angles …. until I came across Pyrite.
I will need to find a new way to convince myself that humans are alien.
I came across this random image and it looked strikingly familiar … I drew this image using LDraw in early 2002 🙂 Five years later, in 2007 we bought our first house …
Here are 4 reasons that radiating intent is better than begging forgiveness:
Radiating intent gives a chance for someone to stop you before you do a thing, in case it’s truly harmful
Radiating intent gives people who have information, or want to help, an opening to participate
Radiating intent leaves better evidence of your good will
Radiating intent shows others that adventurous behavior is acceptable in the org.
Radiating intent also has the advantage over asking permission that the “radiator” keeps responsibility if things go sour. It doesn’t transfer the blame the way seeking permission does, which is good. We should be responsible for our choices.
An example of radiating: I recently spent a day working from Canada. I’m still not sure if it was allowed, but I mentioned it to my supervisor. I mentioned it to my supervisor’s supervisor. I mentioned it to more than a few colleagues. One of them told me I could request permission for my work phone to be used internationally. I did this. It worked. There were many chances for a slow-mo “Noooooooooo” if this travel was going to cause a problem.read more
I really like this sort of manifesto from Bruno (an open source alternative to Postman, Insomnia, ++) – which is a API testing tool. Building useful open source tools or products is generally a labor of love (= Github Stars), but sometimes the love fades (= Github Forks), and inevitably no one wins (= Github Unfollow). As an open source developer, and consumer is to have zero expectations – I got this product for “free” and I am sharing this product for “free” is generally part of my ambitions.
However, many consumers of open source software want to the product to grow and thrive at that free tier which is more often than not unreasonable. This sus up some options around the lifecycle surrounding open source and what consumers, and developers should expect.read more
Had a nice long MTB ride today and after riding these trails close to 50 times, took the time to stop and just remember and enjoy life. I probably plagiarized this from somewhere, but this came to remind about taking the time to remember the past, and the moving beyond it and putting the past behind you.
