Hypertext systems should take about 1/4 second to move from one place to another. If the delay is longer, people may be distracted; if the delay is much longer, people will stop using the system. If the delay is much shorter, people may not realize that the display has changed.

It is funny how thoughts about speed and user experience were already there before the 2000's.

Issue: Links on the web are often quite slow

One solution is to abandon hypertext links. [...] Have a one-page view.

Another strategy is to exchange one large delay for many small ones. We can sometimes arrange a Web site to to bundle large parts of the data in a package that is pre-loaded at the entrance. Within the site, link response is quick because time-consuming sound, graphic, video, and applets have been pre-loaded onto the user's computer.

A better solution, for sophisticated hypertexts that must provide crisp performance, may be to use the Web as a way to provide access to, and information about, hypertexts that can be downloaded (or purchased) as a unit and then performed on the user's machine.

Exactly.

Signal has open-sourced a SQLite extension that provides better support for non-latin languages (Chinese, Japanese, etc) in the Full-Text Search (FTS) virtual table.

Principles:

1. Know what motivates you
2. Not everybody needs to (or wants to) progress
3. The way up (or sideways. Or backward.): all roles are relative

The levels of experience in a company, range from Engineer I to III, then Senior engineers (and there are a variety of it).

Other potential sideways steps: Developer relations, Sales engineering, or specialist consultancy roles.

Two types of anxiety: the one that fills you with terror and the other one that tends to rush you.

A solution is framing: how to look at the situation.
A framework proposes to frame a presentation or an oral intervention with the following scale:

• Practicing / Perfection
• Enthusiasm / Audience
• Prepared / Flawless
• One of many / The big one
• Sharing Enthusiasm / Giving a presentation

The right side of this scale is what people normally imagine when they hear public speaking. It is however the wrong framing.

The positive frame would move to the left side of the spectrum. It is just practice, being enthusiastic, only preparation is needed, this is one of many public speaking so get ready for the next one too.

The trick is to switch the focus from yourself and the audience to the ideas in the talk.

The reason it doesn’t matter is because the audience is not the point. And you aren’t the point either. It’s the content. It’s the idea.

Let's take a look at how to spin up a simple Node server and use custom elements as templates in three popular formats

As always it depends of the need.

We pile up things to read later that we

Here's the funny thing: In trying to learn everything, we learn very little. We stuff ourselves with information but don't digest it. It's a sign of our times – we want to know more but feel empty.

But at the same time, each saved item is a reminder of our finite nature in contrast to the infinity of knowledge available.

It is a planning fallacy: we overestimate our future time and resources. A way to solve lies is by aligning our aspirations with our actions. [...] "we need to cultivate a habit of selective engagement, where we consciously choose what to consume based on its relevance and value to our personal and professional growth, creating space for thoughtful engagement with content that truly matters rather than mindlessly accumulating information."
