Калибровка собственного внимания по Стивену Кови (книгу не читала, но методом пользуюсь).

1. Как (постараться) перестать тратить силы на то, что нам неподвластно.

Нужно представить себе два концентрических круга: внутренний - это Круг Влияния. В нём то, что вы можете как-то изменить. Внешний - Круг Забот. В нём проблемы, занимающие ваши мысли, но сделать с которыми вы ничего не в состоянии.
Метод: сосредоточиться на том, что можете и не тратить даже мысленную энергию на остальное.

2. Как выставлять приоритеты.

Нарисуйте табличку из 4-х квадратов. Подпишите каждый: "важное и срочное", "важное и не срочное", "неважное и срочное", "неважное и не срочное".
Впишите свои задачи в соответствующие квадраты. Сосредоточьтесь на важном и срочном, избавьтесь от ненужного.

Ваш Кэп.

Схема с кругом влияния и кругом забот

@menelion сложно, не спорю. Но если углубляться в эти мысли, то все силы тратятся туда, и невозможно ничем заниматься из необходимого. И тревожность растёт.
Поэтому "ищем пуговицу", как в "Дне Радио".

The #EARNIT bill is aiming at scanning our messages and photos, but opposition is HUGE. EARN IT is an internet surveillance bill that makes all of us less safe by attacking encryption under the guise or protecting children.

We’ve killed this bill twice, let's do it again! 💀💀💀

Today, so many people used EFF's Action Center to tell Congress not to pass the EARN IT Act and the STOP CSAM Act that it briefly took the system offline. It's back up, and you can take action here:

Tell Congress: Don't Outlaw Encrypted Applications

It shouldn't be against the law to provide an encrypted app. But if the STOP CSAM Act passes, it would make it a crime to offer encryption, because it could "facilitate" the sharing of illegal child abuse material (CSAM)—even if there's no evidence t…

Here it is. The latest track I’ve released, and the first video clip I’ve ever done. It is, of course, Space Pop (feat. Kaaren Elizabeth Smith).

Kaaren is a long time friend who I used to co-host a weekly karaoke night with, at a small town bar called The Reef back in the 90’s!!

One of the goals of the Dgar Project is to write new songs, and record them with friends that I have some kind of music related history with. When I got the opportunity to record with Kaaren, I took it.

Kaaren, on the day, was amazing. I sent her a demo of the track to practice and listen to a week earlier. She did some really quirky takes. It’s all her voice too. There’s no auto-tune. There’s no pitch correction. It’s all her. So much fun.

The “doo doo doos” she does was originally a melody I played on a distorted electric guitar. On one of the takes she does these “doo doo doos” over the riff. It just sounds so cool, I replaced my guitar track with her vocals.

I also hope you enjoy my #Blender project that makes the video in all its 8 frames-per-second glory!

Please enjoy the #scifi #Dgar #indie #cult #musicvideo Space Pop (feat. Kaaren Elizabeth Smith!

Please find and give the song a “favourite” on your preferred streaming platform if you enjoy it.

Add Space Pop to a playlist!

El rescate bancario acumula ya una deuda para España de 74.000 millones y sigue creciendo 15 años después

El desfase del plan español de apoyo a la banca es el más alto de Europa en términos absolutos y contrasta con el superávit logrado por Francia, de más de 2.000 millones, o Dinamarca,1.500 millones. El Gobierno del PP de Mariano Rajoy aseguró que el rescate bancario no le costaría ni un euro a los contribuyentes eldiario.es/economia/espana-ac…

España acumula un déficit de 74.000 millones en sus cuentas por el rescate bancario 15 años después

La factura para España del rescate bancario sigue aumentando año tras año cuando se van a cumplir 15 desde el estallido de la crisis financiera de 2008.

One thing I particularly like about Rust — which I’m very new to — is how thoughtfully the compiler errors and warnings have been designed. It not only diagnoses and explains the problem: it provides a possible solution. Genius.

This is the essence of good design: it’s compassionate, anticipating the needs and wants of another person. I can’t think of another language that does anything like this. Certainly not Swift, not that I’m bitter.

A part of the Windows Win32k GDI module has been ported to Rust and has been merged into Windows — which means Windows will soon be booting with Rust in the kernel! 🥳🦀

youtu.be/8T6ClX-y2AE?t=3070

Progress so far ~36 KLOC in the Rust port. Perf of the ported code has been excellent • No perf difference in Office apps (as measured by PCMark 10). • Micro-benchmarks show mostly no differences, with some wins for Rust. • Has driven changes upstream in Rust • More try_ methods for Vec that don't panic on OOM: completely safe Calls to extern functions means there's a lot of "unsafe" code • Currently 163 unsafe functions (~ 10%) and 271 unsafe blocks. But as we port more code, these have been disappearing. We've even been able to write a SysCall is completely safe code.

Rewriting the entire Windows operating system in Rust is not something which is realistic right now — the scale of the project is just too big for that.

Instead this is an experiment in targeting one of the most vulnerable parts of Windows, and rewriting *that*. And that’s been so successful, it’s actually going to be shipping soon! Which is a huge deal!

Currently my mind is being blown by this excellent article about abstract machine models and how programmers think, and perhaps yours would be too.

Abstract Machine Models - Also: what Rust got particularly right

Ever since 2010, I have studied the “meta” of software, by studying (and thinking about) the continued dialogue between programming language designers, computer designers, and programmers. The following constitutes a snapshot of my current thinking.

#Amberol 0.10.0 is out! After a tragic mess with a #GNOME run time update, and with lots of fixes accumulating over a development branch, I decided to spin up a release. Highlights:
- tweaked UI, to avoid confusing the waveform control and the volume control
- improved scaling of textures using #GTK 4.10
- ability to restore the last playlist at startup
- optional background playback

Plus the usual lots and lots of small fixes, tweaks, and performance improvements.

The full window of Amberol, with the playlist on the left, and the main UI on the right, showing the cover art of the music player, the waveform view, the song details, and the playback controls.
Amberol's compact/mobile mode, showing just the main UI.
The newly added "Restore Playlist" option, which appears only when you launch Amberol and there's a playlist from the previous session available.
The drop UI for Amberol, with a new blurred background to increase legibility.

Audon is a great real-time audio streaming service for the #fediverse! Think Spaces or Clubhouse, and you pretty much got it. You create a room for audio, where other people can listen to you, or just give them the role of speaker as well.

You can easily log in with your fediverse (Mastodon/Calckey/Pleroma) account, create a room, share the link, and you're ready to go!

Check it out at audon.space

iOS Shortcuts. Darcy Burnard, from the Maccessibility podcast, did a 10 part series on understanding and using shortcuts. If you are interested in iOS shortcuts, I would highly recommend checking out this series! You can find it on the ACB Community podcast. You can either join the podcast through your favorite podcast app, or go to the website link at the end. Now there is many different things posted to this podcast feed. But just do a search for Understanding Shorcuts, and this will filter them out. The series ran from January 23rd to April 10th. Thanks to Darcy for putting in the time and doing this series!

I’m very excited to see the discussion for the @Mastodon post migration issue has picked back up. This is probably the single largest gap between rhetoric and reality on #Mastodon.

It’s anecdata, but *every singe person* I mention account migration to immediately asks “oh, so my posts can move with me.” This is, unfortunately, immidiately followed up with disappointment that their posts stay behind. Coupled with the recent push to make mastodon.social the default for the iOS app… we need a way for users to move around SEAMLESSLY. We can make all the technical excuses we want, but if the process doesn’t work it’s not really account migration.

Until we have post support, we should probably say we have “social graph” migration, not “account migration,” or we’re really just lying and setting up people to be let down.

Since @talon is posting unfinished tracks, I figured I might as well do the same. My pride and joy, minus some of the instrumentation in the last section, is this.
