Information... It makes the difference. It is the difference between rich and poor, happy and unhappy, enlighted and ignorant. You should make it a go

al in your life to acquire it and use it. (Lance Spicer "Things you didn't know. Underground knowledge 2." page 2)

When you fear, you pretty soon start to hate?

все люди делятся на две категории. Те, которые знают, чего хотят и САМИ решают, что им нужно и те, кто являются несчастными жертвами чужих манипуляций

Еще одна категория людей, которые удовлетворены своей жизнью, хотя очевидно, что их жизнь можно сделать лучше. Почему? Не верят в себя и боятся. Боятся потерять то, что есть. Таким образом для этих людей материальные блага имеющиеся важнее их собственного развития, хотя они много могут говорить о развитии, но по факту это не главное в их жизни.
Итак. Люди ни в чем не виноватые, так как от них ничего не зависит в собственный жизни.

Люди, лишь говорящие о развитии, но которые не могут показать результаты этого развития, кроме неких их мыслей о собственной крутости.

Люди, боящие потерять, то что имеют, а значит имеющие больше, чем положено им по уровню развития, ибо ты всегда снова можещь получить то, что соответствует твоему уровню компетенции.

Люди, вообще просто болтающие, и из речи вообще ничего конструктивного нельзя извлечь. Хронология собственной жизни, без анализа, выводов, и принятия решений, после анализа.

И люди занимающиеся псевдодеятельностью по набиванию своего ума и памяти всем подряд с информационной помойки.

All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work. (Calvin Coolidge)

Теория и практика иногда сталкиваются. Когда это случается, теория проигрывает. Всегда. (Линус Торвальдс)

Be part of something bigger, than yourself.

Бог помогает тем, кто помогает себе сам. Чудо не может свалиться с неба. Ты доложен быть постоянно в своем движении вперед. Нужно делать черновую рабо

Бог помогает тем, кто помогает себе сам. Чудо не может свалиться с неба. Ты доложен быть постоянно в своем движении вперед.
Каждый хочет выиграть большое сражение. Но еще нужно делать черновую работу. Нужно заталкать свою тележку в гору, и никто за тебя это не сделает.

Die Suggestion anderer verfügen über keinerlei Macht, so lange sie von Ihnen nicht akzeptiert werden

nature can produce edifices of complexity WITHOUT real randomness.

"chaos" is a poor name for new science because it implies randomness. Overriding message of the theory is that simple processes in nature can produce edifices of complexity without real randomness.

There's always room for improvement. You have to keep improving.

The biggest challenge is to stay ahead, and to react to the demand of users. (Randy Adams)

место определяет судьбу (Андрей Ладо)

The ending is everything.

Plan all the way to it, taking into account all the possible obstacles.

Re-create yourself

Be the master of your own image rather than letting others define it for you.

Never appeac too perfect

Occasionally display defects to deflect envy. Envy creates silent enemies.

Do not commit to anyone.

The fool always rushes to take sides. Do not commit to any side or cause but yourself.

Know who you are dealing with.

Choose your victims and opponents carefully. Do not offend the wrong person.

When asking for help, appeal to people's self-interest.

Always say less than necessary

Linus at History Museum

27:00 I hate to rehash  the whole microkernel thing but how do you feel about it now? Do you think it could ever go in that way?
Ah, microkernels. I used to be a lot more more polite about microkernels now that I used to be in these days.  I used to think that microkernels had kind of inherent beauty. I think that's what confused a lot of people. A lot of people thought that microkernels were cute and beautiful. And my current thinking on microkernels is that Linux is actually a microkernel. It does everything that should sanely be done in kernel space, and everything that shouldn't seem to be done in kernel space it does in user level service. Well, that's one level of microkernel. The problem of going much further than that is that yes, you simplify the pieces, but what you don't do is that you do not simplify the system. Quite the reverse. What happens in the microkernel is because you simplify the pieces you now have a lot of interaction between pieces. And there fundamentally have to be asynchronous interaction between pieces if you want to get any good performance at all. Which means that you have asynchronous communication between hundreds of different pieces and you've just made your life living hell. Which is fundamental problem of microkernels that the reason for their existence systems, namely simplicity, isn't actually true. And then you also find that when you add a lot of communication you slow down the problem space... to counteract that you actually make the pieces complicated again in order to get back the performance you lost. Now this is why I think for example that all the traditional microkernels like this are stupid.
This doesn't necessarily mean that distributed systems are stupid. There's two things here and sometimes people seem to be equating microkernels with distributed systems. It's perfectly sane to have a real kernel on lots of machines and then take communication where you have to take communication between the machines. And there you can't avoid it. Well, you can avoid it by having SMP and NUMA. And actually you should take SMP and NUMA as far as you can, but at some point you just can't go any further. And whet you have you take communication, then you do it until you reach some point. But you comminicate as soon as possible until that point. That's my strong opinion and I think that computer science as it came to operating system did most of what should've been done in the sixties. And everything else was mental masturbation

42:40 Fragmentation drives development. Because those different people with different agendas.
46:20 It doesn't actually matter what you do. If you are doing it with a good group of people it's gonna be good.
47:00 How do you decide what to include in the kernel? - who's a good maintainer. That's probably the most common reason.
48:50 I am completely disorganized. I'm actually the least organized person I know. Despite that there has to be this invisible guiding hand. ...
 55:00 What editor and mail program do you use? The editor is microemacs, the best editor ever made. And vi and GNU Emacs suck, suck. Now I've alienated everybody in the audience. For e-mail I actuall use pine.
56:00 I hate mainaining the stable kernel.

the hacker

after getting the hang of the thing, he is willing to stay on the plateau indefinitely.
At work he does only enough to get by, leaves on time or early, takes every break, talks instead of doing his job, and wonders why he doesn't get promoted.

the obsessive

wants to get the stroke right during the very first lesson.
He stays after class talking to the instructor. He asks what books and tapes can he buy to help him make progress faster.

the Dabbler

The dabbler approaches each new sport, career opportunity, or relationship with enormous enthusiasm. He or she loves the rituals involved in getting started, the spiffy equipment, the lingo, the shine of newness.
Dabbler specializes in honeymoons. He revels in seduction and surrender, the telling of life stories, the display of love's tricks and trappings: the ego on parade. When the initial ardor starts to cool, he starts looking around. To stay on the path of mastery would mean changing himself. How much easier is to jump into another bed and start the process all over again. The Dabbler might think of himself as an adventurer, a connoisseur of novelty, but he's probably closer to being what Carl Jung calls
puer aeternus, the eternal kind.

(George Leonard "Mastery. The keys to success and long-term fulfillment").

persistence

illusion of achievement

'Seduced by the siren song of the consumerist, quick-fix society, we sometimes choose a course of action that brings only the illusion of accomplishment, the shadow of satisfaction.

mastery is not really a goal or a destination, but rather a process, a journey.
