lazygit helped me to get more into different git commands - I still don't know them by heart. but at least I use more git has to offer.

and when a new branch is one key stroe away from being created, I am more inclined to use it.

I feel like people undervalue the learning experience of just being a workhorse for a while. It's a lot easier to do, make and correct errors when you start with the simpler stuff under guidance

The authors itself writes:

>I would recruit a graduate student into my lab and allow them to run with the project, providing guidance along the way.

You say to many phd students are used as disposable cheap labor, but what is the amount of people still learning stuff maybe bigger?

Yeah, I doing something like this for me. An ePaper display to show local departures of public transport and QR code for my local network.

Having the departure times of my local tram right next to my door helps to not miss it by half a minute. =)

>It’s contradictory to sit alone in a café. It’s against the reason cafés exist.

I had the same feeling as you. Why is it weird to do something alone ? - and like you I thought this must be an American thing. Mostly, because stuff like "eating out alone" or "going to the movies alone" was describe as weird by American authors before.

Sure, it's close to impossible to not "auto-socialize", when you are alone. It's one of the reason I like to do things alone. Either being a regular to the cafe/restaurant host or you get into contact with other people,

Japan as far as I know - old allies and such ;)

That is good to remember - I'll keep that in mind if I ever want to hire in [Germany, Japan] without spelling this out for some reason.

The very first sentence crashes and burns, because there are multiple moral systems and compasses. Using "imperative" in the context of morals is extra spicy, because it reference a very specific, very strict moral code - The Categorical Imperative.

The CI is, in my experience, not a moral system about personal or group advantage, but about rules the can govern everybody.

She is although simply a joy to read. Witty remarks and well written.

"Elinor agreed with it all, for she did not think he deserved the compliment of rational opposition". - from S&S

Who wasn't in a situtation where they felt arguing would do nothing? John Green asked: "Who doesn't want a friend as witty as Jane Austin to comment on life?

Austen's command of language and empathy for her characters is second to none. I love the hook at the end of this passage from Pride and Prejudice.

   ``And of this place,'' thought she, ``I might have been mistress! With these rooms I might now have been familiarly acquainted! Instead of viewing them as a stranger, I might have rejoiced in them as my own, and welcomed to them as visitors my uncle and aunt. -- But no,'' -- recollecting herself, -- ``that could never be: my uncle and aunt would have been lost to me: I should not have been allowed to invite them.'' This was a lucky recollection -- it saved her from something like regret.

Maybe not learning a new language from the ground up, but I think it is good training to "just write" within the language. A daily or twice-daily interaction. Setting up projects, doing the basic stuff to get things running, and reading up on the standard library.

Having smaller problems makes it possible to find multiple solutions as well.

Yeah, last year I only got to Day7 (on dec 26). I hope the smaller amount reduces "the fear of falling behind".

There are multiple dozens of ethic schools and ideas and many of them are not about purity, but although viability and realistic expectations.

They are not going Categorical imperative here.
