Stay on target
STOP!
Just keep doing the thing.
Whatever. You’ll get it next time.
What exactly are you saving this for?
I've decided not to let it bother me.
Remember your toolbox.

All the rage was the Scarlet Johansson-branded protective helmet. It's a colorful helmet, it is a planter with 11 specific draining holes, and it's an important crucible for ideas.

We met at a media event held at a junior high. Scarlet was polite, but perfunctory.

Then there was a very small hotel room with glass walls and doors. Stocked with Herbal Bourbons — ice machine didn't work. Scarlet said "No way am I drinking that shit." She was serious and smart. Might be Las Vegas.

Merlin's Wisdom Project

Or: “Everybody likes being given a glass of water.”

By Merlin Mann.

It's only advice for you because it had to be advice for me.

The 5-minute backpack demo

Here's what I carry in a Tom Bihn Synapse 19 bag when I travel for 1-to-n days. In general, I optimize for low-weight items, with a secondary focus on reducing maintenance. You can peruse a gallery of pictures, too.

Using `<details>` in GitHub

Suppose you're opening an issue and there's a lot noisey logs that may be useful.

Rather than wrecking readability, wrap it in a <details> tag!

(A book that I might eventually write!)

Gary Bernhardt

I imagine each of these chapters being about 2,000 words, making the whole book about the size of a small novel. For comparison, articles in large papers like the New York Times average about 1,200 words. Each topic gets whatever level of detail I can fit into that space. For simple topics, that's a lot of space: I can probably walk through a very basic, but working, implementation of the IP protocol.

	As of iOS 11/macOS High Sierra, and only including ones in Foundation and CoreFoundation

	Strings:

	_NSCFString - a CFStringRef or CFMutableStringRef. This is the most common type of string object currently.
	- May have 8 bit (ASCII) or 16 bit (UTF-16) backing store
	_NSCFConstantString - a compile time constant CFStringRef, like you'd get with @"foo"
	- May also be generated by dynamic string creation if matches a string in a pre-baked table of common strings called the StringROM
	NSBigMutableString - an NSString backed by a CFStorage (https://github.com/opensource-apple/CF/blob/master/CFStorage.h) for faster handling of very large strings
	NSCheapMutableString - a very limited NSMutableString that allows for zero-copy initialization. Used in NSFileManager for temporarily wrapping stack buffers.
