>> 关键对话:如何高效能沟通(原书第2版) (科里·帕特森)

共享观点库是实现协同效应的前提 共享观点库不但能帮助个人做出更好的选择，更重要的是，观点的共享能让人们团结起来，对决策目标深信不疑，能够从主观上积极地投入决策的实施过程中去。只有当对话者能够开诚布公地共享看法时，他们才会实现观点的自由交流。这样做可以帮助他们理解为什么共享式决策是最佳的解决方案，同时有效地激励他们展开行动。例如，凯文和其他副总不肯接受最终选择是因为他们未能参与对话，只有在充分理解对方的观点之后他们才能得出最佳决策。

与此相反，如果人们未能参与交流，而是在敏感的对话中保持沉默，这种做法不会为最终决策带来任何好处。他们的观点都停留在自己的脑中，从不拿出来和对方共享，最终只能导致无声的反对和消极的抵制。更糟糕的是，当有人强迫施加自己的观点时，人们往往很难接受此类信息。他们表面上会表示赞成，但实际上是在违心地执行错误的决定。用塞缪尔·巴特勒（Samuel Butler）的话说就是：“违心服从的人仍然保留着自己的看法。”

>> 清醒思考的艺术（精编图文版） (Rolf Dobelli, PhD,)

幸存偏误是指：由于日常生活中更容易看到成功、看不到失败，你会系统性地高估成功的希望。不了解现实的你（与雷托一样）对成功抱有一种幻想，认识不到成功的概率有多微弱。每位成功的作家背后都有100个作品卖不出去的作家，每个作品卖不出去的作家背后又有100个找不到出版社的作者，每个找不到出版社的作者背后又有数百个抽屉里沉睡着刚动笔的手稿的写作爱好者。

为此，请你从现在起远离成功自助图书，它们百分之百是那些天生具有快乐倾向的人所著。书中从头到尾都是好点子，但读者不知道，这些点子对数十亿人都不管用——因为倒霉蛋是不写成功自助图书的。

为什么会有这种荒谬行为呢？因为人类想努力表现得坚韧，坚韧是我们发出的可信信号。我们害怕矛盾。如果我们决定中断一个项目，我们就在制造矛盾：承认从前的想法与今天不同。继续执行一个无意义的项目是在推迟这一疼痛认识。那样我们就显得更坚韧。

有许多好理由支持你继续投资下去，但如果你只是因为舍不得已经作出的投资而决定继续做某件事，这就不是一个好理由了。理性的决定意味着忽视已经投入的成本。你已经投资了什么并不重要，唯一重要的是现在的形势及你对未来的评估。

因为我们的大脑更容易接受壮观、华丽或大声的东西。我们的大脑是剧本式思维的，而不是量化思维的。

如果有人说：“在好转之前会先恶化”，你脑子里就应该敲响警钟。不过请小心：确实有那样的情形，先是再次下滑然后回升。事业的转换可能会耗费时间，会造成停发工资。一个企业的重组也需要一定的时间。但所有这些情况，人们很快就能看出措施是否有效。里程碑是明确的，是可以检测的。请你望着里程碑，而不是望着天空。

讲述一则故事的广告，比理性地罗列产品优点的广告效果更好。事实上，产品的故事只是附带物，可我们的大脑不是这样运转的。它要听故事。谷歌在2010年美国“超级碗”节目中插播的广告出色地证明了这一点

结论：从自传到世界大事——我们将一切炮制成有“意义”的故事。我们这样做是在扭曲真相——这会影响我们决定的质量。应对方法：请你将这些故事拆解开来。请你问问自己：这些故事想隐藏什么？训练方法：请你设法用无关联的眼光看看自己的生平，你会吃惊的。

事后诸葛亮偏误绝对是最顽固的思维错误之一，可以恰如其分地称为“我早知道现象”，即事后回顾时一切都显得是可以理解的、不可避免的。

查理·芒格的合作伙伴沃伦·巴菲特使用了一个美妙的概念：“能力范围”。在这个范围之内的，人们都像专家一样精通；在这个范围之外的，就不懂或只懂一部分。巴菲特的生活信条是：“请认清你的能力范围，并待在里面。这个范围有多大，并不重要。重要的是知道这个范围的界线在哪里。”查理·芒格重复说：“你必须找出自己的才能在哪里。我几乎可以向你保证，如果你必须在你的能力范围之外碰运气，你的职业生涯将会非常糟糕。

结论：请你不要信任司机的知识。请你不要将公司新闻发言人、爱出风头的人、新闻播音员、唠叨鬼、花言巧语者、爱说闲话的人与一个真正有知识的人搞混。你怎么能区分出来呢？这里有个明确的信号。真正有知识的人知道他们知道什么，也知道他们不知道什么。这类人一旦来到他的“能力范围”之外，他要么什么也不说，要么就说“我不知道”。他这么说时不会觉得难为情，甚至还会带着一定的骄傲。而从“司机们”那儿，你别的什么话都能听到，就是听不到这一句。

在赌场里，当人们想要一个大数字时，大多数人会尽可能使劲地掷色子；当人们希望得到一个小数字时，他们会尽可能掷得温柔。这自然与球迷们的手势和脚部动作一样没有意义。球迷们那么做，好像他们真能干预比赛似的。许多人都存有这样的幻想：他们想靠传播正能量影响世界。 控制错觉是指：相信我们能够控制或影响某种我们客观上无法控制或影响的东西的倾向。

在曼哈顿横穿街道时，人们会按一个红绿灯按钮。事实上他们按的是个不起作用的按钮。那为什么还要有这个按钮呢？就是为了让行人们相信，他们能影响信号控制器。事实证明，这样他们就能更好地忍受在红绿灯前的等待。许多电梯里的“开门、关门”按钮也是这样的，它们与电梯控制器其实并不相连。科学里称它们为“安慰按钮”。还有大办公室里的空调温度调节开关：有人觉得太热，另一些人觉得太冷。 聪明的工程师会利用控制错觉，在每一层楼都安装一个假的温度调节按钮。这样一来，投诉的数量明显减少了。

禀赋效应。我们感觉我们拥有的东西比我们没有拥有的更有价值。换句话说：当我们出售某物时，我们要求的钱多于我们自己愿意为它支付的钱。

请不要死抱着某种东西不放，请将你拥有的视作“宇宙”临时留给你的某种东西。要知道你拥有的一切随时又会被拿走。

如果你是一个智囊团的成员，无论何时，你都要讲出你的看法——哪怕这看法不是很中听。你要仔细考虑没有讲出的意见，必要时要甘冒被隔离在温暖团体之外的风险。如果你领导着一支团队，请你指定某人唱反调。他将不是团队里最受欢迎的人，但也许是最重要的人。

：我们是对一件事的预期强度做出反应（累计奖金的多少及电压的强度），而不是对它的概率。换个说法：我们缺少对概率的直觉理解。

请你告别零风险的想象，学会怀着“没有什么是安全的”想法生活——无论是你的积蓄、你的健康、你的婚姻、你的友谊、你的敌人，还是你的土地。请你满足于至少有东西让你保持相对稳定并体验自身的快乐。研究表明，无论是中了百万彩票还是半身瘫痪都不会长期改变你的满意程度。不管发生什么事，快乐的人照样快乐，不快乐的人依旧不快乐。更多内容请见享乐适应症那一章。

我们对稀少性的典型反应是丧失清晰思考的能力。因此请你仅按价格和作用判断一样东西。你不要在乎它是否稀少，是否有哪位“伦敦来的医生”也想要它。

人们相信命运具有一种平衡力量。这就是常说的赌徒谬误，但独立事件不存在平衡的力量。一只球可以持续落在黑色上，无论之前它已经落了多少次。一位朋友不厌其烦地在表格里填入彩票数字，他总是在填得最少的数字上打叉。但他的整个工作其实都是瞎子点灯白费蜡——这就是赌徒谬误。

人们害怕失去某种东西的想法要比获得某种同等价值的东西的想法强烈。

我们无法改变：恶比善更有影响力。我们对不利东西的反应要比对有利东西的反应敏感。走在大街上，一张凶恶的脸要比一张友善的脸更容易引起我们注意。恶行要比善行更久地留存在我们的记忆里。当然也有例外：在事关我们自己的时候。

除了心理学家，这个结果没让任何人感到意外。科学界称这一效应为社会性懈怠。它之所以会出现，是因为在团队中个人的效率无法直接看到，而是与团队融合在一起的。划桨手身上存在社会性懈怠，而接力赛运动员身上却没有，因为接力赛时每个人的贡献是显而易见的。社会性懈怠是一种理性行为：假如使出一半力就行，又不会引起注意，为什么要使出全力呢？一句话，社会性懈怠是一种我们让自己亏欠所有人的欺骗形式。这一欺骗大多不是故意的，而是不知不觉地发生的——就像马拉车一样。

我们很容易就能理解线性增长，但我们对指数（或按百分比计算的）增长没有感觉。为什么？因为过去的进化没有让我们为此作好准备。我们祖先的经验大多是线性的。谁花费双倍的时间采摘，谁就会带回家双倍的莓果；谁同时将两只猛犸而不是一只驱逐到地渊上方，谁有肉吃的时间就会是双倍。石器时代几乎没有人遇到过指数增长的例子，但今天不同。

结论：风险从来不是一眼就能看到的。因此，请你时刻考虑你有什么样的替代途径。比起你通过无惊险的平凡途径（比如从事律师、牙医、滑雪教练、飞行员或企业顾问的辛苦工作）获得的成功，别拿通过冒险的替代途径获得的成功太当真。蒙田怎么说来着：“我的生命充满不幸——这些不幸大多没有发生

不明情形下我们会产生要做点什么的冲动，随便什么——不管它有没有帮助。之后我们会感觉好受些，虽然其实什么也没有好转——事实甚至往往正好相反。因此，如果情况不明，请你不要采取任何行动，直到你能更好地分析形势。你要克制自己。“人类的全部不幸就是他们不能安静地待在他们的房间里。”帕斯卡尔就曾经这么写道，在他的书房里。

事业上迈进了一步的人在平均3个月后的幸福感又与先前一样了。就连那些非要驾驶最新款保时捷的人也一样。科学里称这一效应为享乐适应症： 我们工作、升迁，给自己购买更多更漂亮的东西，但我们不会

（1）请你避免很长时间也不会习惯的负面效应，例如往返交通、噪音、慢性疲累等；（2）请你对物质的东西只期待短期效果，例如汽车、房屋、分红、中彩票、得金奖等；（3）持续的正面效应主要与你如何利用你的时间有关。你要设法让自己得到尽可能多的自由时间和自主权。请你做你最爱做的事情——哪怕你要付出部分收入。请你为友谊投资。对于女人，隆胸具有长期的幸福效应；对于男人，则是升职——不过，只有当男人不与此同时更换对比群体时才会感到幸福。因此，如果你在升为首席执行官之后只跟其他的首席执行官们交谈，幸福感就会消失。

我们从中可以学到什么？没有谁讲得比马克·吐温更贴切了：“我们应该注意，一个经历里隐藏着多少智慧，我们就只吸取多少——不要多；好让我们不像坐过热灶台的猫一样。被烫过的猫永远不会再坐到热灶台上去——这是对的；但它也永远不会再坐到冷灶台上去了。”

在群体里容易按照他人的想法生活，在孤独中容易按照自己的想法生活。但值得记住的只是那些在群体中保持独立的人。

To convert Unicode characters to binary data, you must use the encode method. To convert binary data to Unicode characters, you must use the decode method.

In Python 3, bytes contains sequences of 8-bit values, str contains sequences of Unicode characters. bytes and str instances can’t be used together with operators (like > or +).

In Python 2, str contains sequences of 8-bit values, unicode contains sequences of Unicode characters. str and unicode can be used together with operators if the str only contains 7-bit ASCII characters. Use helper functions to ensure that the inputs you operate on are the type of character sequence you expect (8-bit values, UTF-8 encoded characters, Unicode characters, etc.). If you want to read or write binary data to/from a file, always open the file using a binary mode (like 'rb' or 'wb').

>> So Good They Can't Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love (Cal Newport)

I disagree. The more I studied the issue, the more I noticed that the passion hypothesis convinces people that somewhere there’s a magic “right” job waiting for them, and that if they find it, they’ll immediately recognize that this is the work they were meant to do . The problem, of course, is when they fail to find this certainty, bad things follow, such as chronic job-hopping and crippling self-doubt.

Observing a few instances of a strategy working does not make it universally effective.

for most people , “follow your passion” is bad advice.

craftsman mindset is the foundation for creating work you love.

Whereas the craftsman mindset focuses on what you can offer the world, the passion mindset focuses instead on what the world can offer you . This mindset is how most people approach their working lives.

No one owes you a great career, it argues; you need to earn it—and the process won’t be easy.

“The harder I work,

“The harder I work, the more relaxed I can play, and the better it sounds.”

“The harder I work, the more relaxed I can play, and the better it sounds.”

“It’s a constant learning process,”

“Money is a neutral indicator of value. By aiming to make money, you’re aiming to be valuable.”

When deciding whether to follow an appealing pursuit that will introduce more control into your work life, seek evidence of whether people are willing to pay for it. If you find this evidence, continue. If not, move on.

“Do what people are willing to pay for.”

>> The Talent Code (Daniel Coyle)

“All skills, all language, all music, all movements, are made of living circuits, and all circuits grow according to certain rules.”

The trick is to choose a goal just beyond your present abilities; to target the struggle. Thrashing blindly doesn't help. Reaching does. “It's all about finding the sweet spot,” Bjork said. “There's an optimal gap between what you know and what you're trying to do. When

The trick is to choose a goal just beyond your present abilities; to target the struggle. Thrashing blindly doesn't help. Reaching does. “It's all about finding the sweet spot,” Bjork said. “There's an optimal gap between what you know and what you're trying to do. When you find that sweet spot, learning takes off.”*3

The truth is, practice makes myelin, and myelin makes perfect. And myelin operates by a few fundamental principles.

Skill is insulation that wraps neural circuits and grows according to certain signals.

“If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery,” Michelangelo later said, “it would not seem so wonderful at all.”

As football coach Tom Martinez likes to say, “It's not how fast you can do it. It's how slow you can do it correctly.”

Pick a target. Reach for it. Evaluate the gap between the target and the reach.

Pick a target. Reach for it. Evaluate the gap between the target and the reach. Return to step one.

strut,” Thomas said. “Then after a while they aren't strutting

those people over there are doing something terrifically worthwhile. Each signal, in short, is about future belonging. Future belonging is a primal cue: a simple, direct signal that activates our built-in motivational triggers, funneling our energy and attention toward a goal. The idea makes intuitive sense—after all, we've all felt motivated by the desire to connect ourselves to high-achieving groups. What's interesting, however, is just how powerful and unconscious those triggers can be.

“Here's the deal. You've got to give kids credit at a younger age for feeling stuff more acutely. When you say something to a kid, you've got to know what you're saying to them. The stuff you say to a kid starting out—you got to be supercareful, unowaime? What skill-building really is, is confidence-building. First they got to earn it, then they got it. And once it gets lit, it stays lit pretty good.”

Esquith—“Work Hard, Be Nice”—and

Wooden may not have known about myelin, but like all master coaches, he had a deep understanding of how it worked. He taught in chunks, using what he called the “whole-part method”—he would teach players an entire move, then break it down to work on its elemental actions. He formulated laws of learning (which might be retitled laws of myelin): explanation, demonstration, imitation, correction, and repetition. “Don't look for the big, quick improvement. Seek the small improvement one day at a time. That's the only way it happens—and when it happens, it lasts,” he wrote in The Wisdom of Wooden. “The importance of repetition until automaticity cannot be overstated,” he said in You Haven't Taught Until They Have Learned, authored by Gallimore and former Wooden player Swen Nater. “Repetition is the key to learning.”

If you spend years and years trying hard to do something, you'd better get better at it. How dumb would I have to be if I didn't?”

“The way I look at it, everybody's life is a bowl of whipped cream and shit, and my job is to even things out,” he said. “If a kid's got a lot of shit in his life, I'm going to stir in some whipped cream. If a kid's life is pure whipped cream, then I'm going to stir in some shit.”

kaizen, which is Japanese for “continuous improvement” and which just as easily could be called corporate deep practice. Kaizen is the process of finding and improving small problems. Each employee, from the janitor on up, has authority to halt the production line if they spot a problem. (Each factory has pull cords on the factory floor, called andons.) The vast majority of improvements come from employees, and the vast majority of those changes are small: a one-foot shift in the location of a parts bin, for instance. But they add up. It's estimated that each year Toyota implements around a thousand tiny fixes in each of its assembly lines, about a million tiny fixes overall.

Item 2: Prefer consts, enums, and inlines to #defines

Declaring something const helps compilers detect usage errors. const can be applied to objects at any scope, to function parameters and return types, and to member functions as a whole. ✦ Compilers enforce bitwise constness, but you should program using logical constness. ✦ When const and non-const member functions have essentially identical implementations, code duplication can be avoided by having the non-const version call the const version.

If a class does not contain virtual functions, that often indicates it is not meant to be used as a base class. When a class is not intended to be a base class, making the destructor

Occasionally it can be convenient to give a class a pure virtual destructor. Recall that pure virtual functions result in abstract classes — classes that can’t be instantiated (i.e., you can’t create objects of that type

Destructors should never emit exceptions. If functions called in a destructor may throw, the destructor should catch any exceptions, then swallow them or terminate the program. ✦ If class clients need to be able to react to exceptions thrown during an operation, the class should provide a regular (i.e., non-destructor) function that performs the operation.

During base class construction, virtual functions never go down into derived classes. Instead, the object behaves as if it were of the base type. Informally speaking, during base class construction, virtual functions aren’t.

Never return a pointer or reference to a local stack object, a reference to a heap-allocated object, or a pointer or reference to a local static object if there is a chance that more than one such object will be needed. (Item 4 provides an example of a design where returning a reference to a local static is reasonable, at least in single-threaded environments.)

话，对人对事又不会出主意，因此做参谋顾问机会也不多。由于还读过几本书，知道点诗词歌赋，面前一切的刺激和生活教育，不甘随波逐流就得讲求自救，于是近于自卫，首先学坚持自己，来抵抗生活行为上的同化和腐蚀作用。反映到行为中，即尽机会可能顽强读书，扩大知识领域。凑巧当时恰有个亲戚卸任县长后，住在对河石屋洞古庙里作客，有半房子新旧书籍，由《昭明文选》到新小说，什么都有。特别是林[3]译小说，就有一整书箱。狄更司的小说，真给了我那时好大一份力量！

但这自然不是一件简单事情。到这个部队工作以前，我曾经有过一年多时间，在沅水流域好几个口岸各处飘流过，在小旅馆和机关作过打流食客，食住两无着落。好容易有了个比较固定的职业，要说不再干下去，另找出路，当然事不简单。我知道世界虽然尽够广大，到任何一处没有吃的就会饿死。我等待一个新的机会。生活教育虽相当沉重，但是却并不气馁，只有更加坚强。这里实在不是个能呆下去的地方，中国之大，一定还有别的什么地方，比这里生存得合理一些。孟子几句话给了我极大鼓舞，我并没有觉得有个什么天降大任待担当，只是天真烂漫的深深相信老话说的“天无绝人之路 ”，一个人存心要活得更正当结实有用一点，决不会轻易倒下去的。

我为人并不怎么聪敏，而且绝无什么天才，只是对学习有耐心和充满信心，深信只要不至于饿死，在任何肉体挫折和精神损害困难情形下，进行学习不会放松。而且无论学什么，一定要把它学懂，学通……于是在一场大病之后，居然有一天，就和这一切终于从此离开，进入北京城，在一个小客店旅客簿上写下姓名籍贯，并填上“求学”两个字，成为北京百万市民的一员，来接受更新的教育和考验了。

却综合给我建立了个比较单纯的人生观，对个人存在和工作意义，都有种较素朴理解。觉得个人实在渺小不足道，但是一个善于使用生命的人，境遇不论如何困难，生活不论如何不幸，却可望在全个人类向前发展进程中，发生一定良好作用。我从事写作，不是为准备做伟人英雄，甚至于也不准备做作家，只不过是尽一个“好公民”责任。既写了，就有责任克服一切困难，来把它作好。我不希望做空头作家，只盼望能有机会照着文学革命所提出的大目标，来终生从事这个工作。在万千人共同作成的总成绩上，增加一些作品，丰富一些作品的内容。要竞赛，对象应当是世界上已存在的最高纪录，不能超过也得比肩。不是和三五同行争上下，争出路，以及用作品以外方法走捷径争读者。这种四十年前的打算，目前

所以中国从秦到清的历史，最主要的特点就是频繁地“改朝换代”。秦制的规律是，一个王朝建立之初，就像新手机开机，开始总会运行得比较顺畅。有一段政治清明期，甚至会出现盛世。然而几代之后，就会腐败混乱，官逼民反，各种危机爆发，导致大一统郡县制王朝经常出现系统崩溃，不得不重新启动。

>> Hackers & Painters (Paul Graham)

There was something else I wanted more: to be smart. Not simply to do well in school, though that counted for something, but to design beautiful rockets, or to write well, or to understand how to program computers. In general, to make great things.

I've read that this is why poor whites in the United States are the group most hostile to blacks.

nothing brings people closer than a common enemy.

In fact their primary purpose is to keep kids locked up in one place for a big chunk of the day so adults can get things done.

For a long time I felt bad about this, just as I once felt bad that I didn't hold my pencil the way they taught me to in elementary school. If I had only looked over at the other makers, the painters or the architects, I would have realized that there was a name for what I was doing: sketching.

As far as I can tell, the way they taught me to program in college was all wrong. You should figure out programs as you're writing them, just as writers and painters and architects do.

A programming language is for thinking of programs, not for expressing programs you've already thought of. It should be a pencil, not a pen.

This is not a problem for big companies, because they don't win by making great products. Big companies win by sucking less than other big companies.

I remember sitting back in the dentist's chair, waiting for the drill, and feeling like I was on vacation.

copying forces you to look closely at the way a painting is made.

How hard he worked on part of a painting didn't depend at all on how closely he expected anyone to look at it. He was like Michael Jordan. Relentless.

Argue with idiots, and you become an idiot.

I think so. I think a society in which people can do and say what they want will also tend to be one in which the most efficient solutions win, rather than those sponsored by the most influential people.

All you need to do is be part of a small group working on a hard problem.

If you're in a job that feels safe, you are not going to get rich, because if there is no danger there is almost certainly no leverage.

What this meant in practice was that we deliberately sought hard problems. If there were two features we could add to our software, both equally valuable in proportion to their difficulty, we'd always take the harder one.

A great deal has been written about the causes of the Industrial Revolution. But surely a necessary, if not sufficient, condition was that people who made fortunes be able to enjoy them in peace.11 One piece of evidence is what happened to countries

A great deal has been written about the causes of the Industrial Revolution. But surely a necessary, if not sufficient, condition was that people who made fortunes be able to enjoy them in peace.

If taste is just personal preference, then everyone's is already perfect: you like whatever you like, and that's it.

GOOD DESIGN IS SIMPLE. You hear this from math to painting.

In math it means that a shorter proof tends to be a better one. Where axioms are concerned, especially, less is more. It means much the same thing in programming.

GOOD DESIGN IS TIMELESS.

if you can imagine someone surpassing you, you should do it yourself.

GOOD DESIGN SOLVES THE RIGHT PROBLEM.

GOOD DESIGN IS HARD. If you look at the people who've done great work, one thing they all seem to have in common is that they worked very hard. If you're not working hard, you're probably wasting your time.

GOOD DESIGN IS REDESIGN.

The ambitious are not content to imitate.

And looking down on the user, however benevolently, always seems to corrupt the designer.

In software, my rule is: always have working code. If you're writing something you'll be able to test in an hour, you have the prospect of an immediate reward to motivate you. The same is true in the arts, and particularly in oil painting.

Design means making things for humans. But it's not just the user who's human. The designer is human too.

I found that I liked to program sitting in front of a computer, not a piece of paper. Worse still, instead of patiently writing out a complete program and assuring myself it was correct, I tended to just spew out code that was hopelessly broken, and gradually beat it into shape. Debugging, I was taught, was a kind of final pass where you caught typos and oversights. The way I worked, it seemed like programming consisted of debugging.

Everyone in the sciences secretly believes that mathematicians are smarter than they are. I think mathematicians also believe this.

You can't do anything really well unless you love it, and if you love to hack you'll inevitably be working on projects of your own.3

Being smart seems to make you unpopular.

"no art, however minor, demands less than total dedication if you want to excel in it."

Before you develop a conscience, torture is amusing.

I think this is the right model for collaboration in software too. Don't push it too far. When a piece of code is being hacked by three or four different people, no one of whom really owns it, it will end up being like a common-room. It will tend to feel bleak and abandoned, and accumulate cruft. The right way to collaborate, I think, is to divide projects into sharply defined modules, each with a definite owner, and with interfaces between them that are as carefully designed and, if possible, as articulated as programming languages.

What this meant in practice was that we deliberately sought hard problems. If there were two features we could add to our software, both equally valuable in proportion to their difficulty, we'd always take the harder one. Not just because it was more valuable, but because it was harder. We delighted in forcing bigger, slower competitors to follow us over difficult ground. Like guerillas, startups prefer the difficult terrain of the mountains, where the troops of the central government can't follow. I can remember times when we were just exhausted after wrestling all day with some horrible technical problem. And I'd be delighted, because something that was hard for us would be impossible for our competitors.

Start by picking a hard problem, and then at every decision point, take the harder choice.

But in technology, you cook one thing and that's what everyone eats. So any difference between what people want and what you deliver is multiplied. You please or annoy customers wholesale. The closer you can get to what they want, the more wealth you generate.

The recipe for great work is: very exacting taste, plus the ability to gratify it.

If you want to win in a software business, just take on the hardest problem you can find, use the most powerful language you can get, and wait for your competitors' pointy-haired bosses to revert to the mean.

In fact their primary purpose is to keep kids locked up in one place for a big chunk of the day so adults can get things done.

Great software, likewise, requires a fanatical devotion to beauty. If you look inside good software, you find that parts no one is ever supposed to see are beautiful too. When it comes to code I behave in a way that would make me eligible for prescription drugs if I approached everyday life the same way. It drives me crazy to see code that's badly indented, or that uses ugly variable names.

It's a good idea to save some easy tasks for moments when you would otherwise stall.

As we will see, the main difference between imperative programming languages, like Pascal, FORTRAN and COBOL, and functional programming languages, like SML and Miranda, lies in the rules governing the association of names and values. 1.3. Names and values in imperative and functional languages Traditional programming languages are based around the idea of a variable as a changeable association between a name and values. These languages are said to be imperative because they consist of sequences of commands: <command1> ; <command2> ; <command3> ; ... Typically, each command consists of an assignment which changes a variables’ value. This involves working out the value of an expression and associating the result with a name: <name> := <expression> In a program, each command’s expression may refer to other variables whose values may have been changed by preceding commands. This enables values to be passed from command to command. Functional languages are based on structured function calls. A functional program is an expression consisting of a function call which calls other functions in turn: <function1>(<function2>(<function3> ... ) ... )) Thus, each function receives values from and passes new values back to the calling function. This is known as function composition or nesting. In imperative languages, commands may change the value associated with a name by a previous command so each name may be and usually will be associated with different values while a program is running. In imperative languages, the same name may be associated with different values. In functional languages, names are only introduced as the formal parameters of functions and given values by function calls with actual parameters. Once a formal parameter is associated with an actual parameter value there is no way for it to be associated with a new value. There is no concept of a command which changes the value associated with a name through assignment. Thus, there is no concept of a command sequence or command repetition to enable successive changes to values associated with names. In functional languages, a name is only ever associated with one value

a marker (a special object representing a buffer position).

Whenever you give an editing command to Emacs Lisp, such as the command to move the cursor or to scroll the screen, you are evaluating an expression, the first element of which is a function. This is how Emacs works.

Incidentally, if you are in the *scratch* buffer and want the value returned by an expression to appear in the *scratch* buffer itself rather than in the echo area, type C-u C-x C-e instead of C-x C-e. This causes the value returned to appear after the expression. The buffer will look like this: (buffer-name)"*scratch*"

Incidentally, while you can type a number or symbol into a program, you cannot do that with the printed representation of a buffer: the only way to get a buffer itself is with a function such as current-buffer. A related function is other-buffer. This returns the most recently selected buffer other than the one you are in currently

set-buffer, on the other hand, does only one thing: it switches the attention of the computer program to a different buffer

The function buffer-size tells you the size of the current buffer; that is, the function returns a count of the number of characters in the buffer. (buffer-size)

You can see the character count for point in this buffer by evaluating the following expression in the usual way

Interestingly, when you call an interactive function interactively, the value returned is not automatically displayed in the echo area. This is because you often call an interactive function for its side effects, such as moving forward by a word or line, and not for the value returned. If the returned value were displayed in the echo area each time you typed a key, it

save-excursion function is very common. It saves the location of point and mark, executes the body of the function, and then restores point and mark to their previous positions if their locations were changed

The function point returns the current position of the cursor as a number.

The mark is another position in the buffer; its value can be set with a command such as C-SPC (set-mark-command). If a mark has been set, you can use the command C-x C-x (exchange-point-and-mark) to cause the cursor to jump to the mark and set the mark to be the previous position of point. In addition, if you set another mark, the position of the previous mark is saved in the mark ring. Many mark positions can be saved this way. You can jump the cursor to a saved mark by typing C-u C-SPC one or more times.

The part of the buffer between point and mark is called the region. Numerous commands work on the region, including center-region, count-lines-region, kill-region, and print-region

the save-excursion would put point back to where it was before, after the expressions in the body of the function were evaluated.

Also, describe-function will tell you the location of the function definition

switch to that directory in Emacs using M-x cd command, or list the directory with C-x d (dired)

“The C-h p command lets you search the standard Emacs Lisp libraries by topic keywords.”

Here is the complete text of the shortened version of the function: (defun simplified-beginning-of-buffer () "Move point to the beginning of the buffer; leave mark at previous position." (interactive) (push-mark) (goto-char (point-min)))

Consequently, you can, if you wish, go back to where you were originally by typing C-x C-x.

pointer type. References are just pointers with extra safety precautions and a sprinkle of syntactic sugar

References are just pointers with extra safety precautions and a sprinkle of syntactic sugar

In large projects, it’s incredibly helpful for separating code in different libraries

User-defined types are the basic building blocks of C++ applications. Think of them as struct objects that can also have functions

An object’s constructor is called just after its storage duration begins, and the destructor is called just before its storage duration ends. Both the constructor and destructor are functions with no return type and the same name as the enclosing class. To declare a destructor, add a ~ to the beginning of the class name

This is the resource allocation is initialization (RAII) concept (sometimes also called constructor acquires, destructor releases

Sometimes you need the flexibility of dynamic memory allocation, but you still want to lean on the object life cycle of C++ to ensure that you don’t leak memory or accidentally “use after free. ” This is exactly the role of smart pointers, which manage the life cycle of dynamic objects through an ownership model

Rather than copying the object, you use the move semantics of C++ to transfer ownership from one unique pointer to another

The move function tells the compiler that you want to make the transfer. After

The move function tells the compiler that you want to make the transfer

The options for initializing objects bewilder even experienced C++ programmers. Here’s a general rule to make initialization simple: use braced initializers everywhere. Braced initializers work as intended almost everywhere, and they cause the fewest surprises. For this reason, braced initialization is also called uniform initialization. The remainder of the book follows this guidance.

The keyword const (short for “constant”) roughly means “I promise not to modify.

All the subclasses in std::exception can be partitioned into three groups: logic errors, runtime errors, and language support errors.

If you throw an exception in a destructor, you are juggling with chainsaws. Such an exception absolutely must be caught within the destructor

C++ offers two polymorphic approaches.Compile-time polymorphic code incorporates polymorphic types you can determine at compile time. The other approach is runtime polymorphism, which instead incorporates types determined at runtime

If you want to require a derived class to implement the method, you can append the =0 suffix to a method definition. You call methods with both the virtual keyword and =0 suffix pure virtual methods. You can’t instanti­ ate a class containing any pure virtual methods

coexistence of the typename and class keywords is unfortunate and confusing. They mean the same thing.(They’re both supported for historical reasons. ) This chapter always uses typename

In other words, whenever you use a concept as part of a function definition, that function becomes a template. The template function

In other words, whenever you use a concept as part of a function definition, that function becomes a template

If you’re in such a situation, refer to Chapter 9, “Names in Templates,” in C++ Templates: The Complete Guide by David Vandevoorde et al. and to [temp.res]

which is why Chapter 2 recommends using the braced initializer as much as possible

You can extend the reach of the compiler by using the expression constexpr. Whenever all the information required to compute an expression is present at compile time, the compiler is compelled to do so if that expression is marked constexpr. This simple commitment can enable a surprisingly large impact on code readability and runtime performance

Because x is assigned u but never used before getting reassigned v, it’s called a dead store and is a straightforward candidate for getting optimized away. There’s a similar story where x is used to set the value of y twice without any intervening instructions

The final modifier indicates that a method cannot be overridden by a child class. It’s effectively the opposite of virtual.

Neither final nor override is technically a language keyword; they are identifiers. Unlike keywords, identifiers gain special meaning only when used in a specific context. This means you can use final and override as symbol names elsewhere in your program, thereby leading to the insanity of constructions like virtual void final() override. Try not to do this

Using a function can incur runtime overhead. For technical reasons, function might need to make a dynamic allocation to store the callable object. The compiler also has difficulty optimizing away function invocations, so you’ll often incur an indirect function call. Indirect function calls require additional pointer dereferences

pointer, you can rest assured that the pointed-to object is alive and that the pointed-to object won’t leak

pointer, you can rest assured that

Put another way, when you use a smart pointer, you can rest assured that the pointed-to object is alive and that the pointed-to object won’t leak. The smart pointer manages the object it owns, so you can’t forget to destroy it thanks to RAII

>> Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Robert M. Pirsig)

The hereness and nowness of things is something they know all about. It’s the others, the ones who moved to the cities years ago and their lost offspring, who have all but forgotten it. The discovery was a real find.

She wasn’t ignoring that faucet at all! She was suppressing anger at that faucet and that goddamned dripping faucet was just about killing her!

Of course she’s not going to get mad at that faucet, I thought. You always suppress momentary anger at something you deeply and permanently hate.

That attitude is not hard to come to. You go through a heavy industrial area of a large city and there it all is, the technology. In front of it are high barbed-wire fences, locked gates, signs saying No TRESPASSING, and beyond, through sooty air, you see ugly strange shapes of metal and brick whose purpose is unknown, and whose masters you will never see. What it’s for you don’t know, and why it’s there, there’s no one to tell, and so all you can feel is alienated, estranged, as though you didn’t belong there. Who owns and understands this doesn’t want you around. All this technology has somehow made you a stranger in your own land. Its very shape and appearance and mysteriousness say, “Get out.”

The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower.

physical discomfort is important only when the mood is wrong.

I said before, on a cycle you’re in the scene, not just watching it, and storms are definitely part of it.

The radio was a clue. You can’t really think hard about what you’re doing and listen to the radio at the same time.

Caring about what you are doing is considered either unimportant or taken for granted.

When you want to hurry something, that means you no longer care about it and want to get on to other things. I just want to get at it slowly, but carefully and thoroughly, with the same attitude I remember was present just before I found that sheared pin. It was that attitude that found it, nothing else.

Solution of problems too complicated for common sense to solve is achieved by long strings of mixed inductive and deductive inferences that weave back and forth between the observed machine and the mental hierarchy of the machine found in the manuals.

Sometimes just the act of writing down the problems straightens out your head as to what they really are.

(1) statement of the problem, (2) hypotheses as to the cause of the problem, (3) experiments designed to test each hypothesis, (4) predicted results of the experiments, (5) observed results of the experiments and (6) conclusions from the results of the experiments. This is not different from the formal arrangement of many college and high-school lab notebooks but the purpose here is no longer just busywork. The purpose now is precise guidance of thoughts that will fail if they are not accurate.

Scientific questions often have a surface appearance of dumbness for this reason. They are asked in order to prevent dumb mistakes later on.

They are using the experiment as part of a program to expand their hierarchy of knowledge of the faulty motorcycle and compare it to the correct hierarchy in their mind. They are looking at underlying form.

“Peace of mind isn’t at all superficial, really,” I expound. “It’s the whole thing. That which produces it is good maintenance; that which disturbs it is poor maintenance. What we call workability of the machine is just an objectification of this peace of mind. The ultimate test’s always your own serenity. If you don’t have this when you start and maintain it while you’re working you’re likely to build your personal problems right into the machine itself.”

I add, “What’s more common is that you feel unpeaceful even if it’s right, and I think that’s the actual case here.

the art of the work is just as dependent upon your own mind and spirit as it is upon the material of the machine. That’s why you need the peace of mind.

“You look at where you’re going and where you are and it never makes sense, but then you look back at where you’ve been and a pattern seems to emerge. And if you project forward from that pattern, then sometimes you can come up with something.

The whole Renaissance is supposed to have resulted from the topsy-turvy feeling caused by Columbus’ discovery of a new world.

The Church attitude is that civilization, or “the system” or “society” or whatever you want to call it, is best served not by mules but by free men. The purpose of abolishing grades and degrees is not to punish mules or to get rid of them but to provide an environment in which that mule can turn into a free man.

Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and without desire. The reality of your own nature should determine the speed. If you become restless, speed up. If you become winded, slow down. You climb the mountain in an equilibrium between restlessness and exhaustion. Then, when you’re no longer thinking ahead, each footstep isn’t just a means to an end but a unique event in itself. This leaf has jagged edges. This rock looks loose. From this place the snow is less visible, even though closer. These are things you should notice anyway. To live only for some future goal is shallow. It’s the sides of the mountain which sustain life, not the top. Here’s where things grow.

“Quality is a characteristic of thought and statement that is recognized by a nonthinking process.

Any effort that has self-glorification as its final endpoint is bound to end in disaster.

If we can show that a world without Quality functions abnormally, then we have shown that Quality exists, whether it’s defined or not.”

before he arrived at this, but eventually he saw that Quality couldn’t be independently related with either the subject or the object but could be found only in the relationship of the two with each other.

This means Quality is not just the result of a collision between subject and object. The very existence of subject and object themselves is deduced from the Quality event. The Quality event is the cause of the subjects and objects, which are then mistakenly presumed to be the cause of the Quality!

The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there.

The past exists only in our memories, the future only in our plans. The present is our only reality.

The past exists only in our memories, the future only in our plans. The present is our only reality. The tree that you are aware of intellectually, because of that small time lag, is always in the past and therefore is always unreal. Any intellectually conceived object is always in the past and therefore unreal. Reality is always the moment of vision before the intellectualization takes place. There is no other reality. This preintellectual reality is what Phaedrus felt he had properly identified as Quality. Since all intellectually identifiable things must emerge from this preintellectual reality, Quality is the parent, the source of all subjects and objects.

You have to depress for a while before you can get down to doing it. Then, once you have depressed into a really low-key mood, it isn’t so bad.

It is the quest of this special classic beauty, the sense of harmony of the cosmos, which makes us choose the facts most fitting to contribute to this harmony.

It’s always been an artificial interpretation superimposed on reality. It’s never been reality itself.

If your mind is truly, profoundly stuck, then you may be much better off than when it was loaded with ideas.

The fear of stuckness is needless because the longer you stay stuck the more you see the Quality-reality that gets you unstuck every time.

The material and the craftsman’s thoughts change together in a progression of smooth, even changes until his mind is at rest at the exact instant the material is right.

Peace of mind produces right values, right values produce right thoughts. Right thoughts produce right actions and right actions produce work which will be a material reflection for others to see of the serenity at the center of it all. That was what it was about that wall in Korea. It was a material reflection of a spiritual reality.

What keeps me from thinking I’ve hit them all is that with every job I discover more. Motorcycle maintenance gets frustrating. Angering. Infuriating. That’s what makes it interesting.

What you have to do, if you get caught in this gumption trap of value rigidity, is slow down—you’re going to have to slow down anyway whether you want to or not—but slow down deliberately and go over ground that you’ve been over before to see if the things you thought were important were really important and to…well…just stare at the machine.

If you have a high evaluation of yourself then your ability to recognize new facts is weakened.

In motorcycle maintenance the mu answer given by the machine to many of the diagnostic questions put to it is a major cause of gumption loss. It shouldn’t be! When your answer to a test is indeterminate it means one of two things: that your test procedures aren’t doing what you think they are or that your understanding of the context of the question needs to be enlarged. Check your tests and restudy the question. Don’t throw away those mu answers! They’re every bit as vital as the yes or no answers. They’re more vital. They’re the ones you grow on!

Here by far the most frustrating gumption trap is inadequate tools. Nothing’s quite so demoralizing as a tool hang-up. Buy good tools as you can afford them and you’ll never regret it. If you want to save money don’t overlook the newspaper want ads. Good tools, as a rule, don’t wear out, and good secondhand tools are much better than inferior new ones. Study the tool catalogs. You can learn a lot from them.

The real cycle you’re working on is a cycle called yourself. The machine that appears to be “out there” and the person that appears to be “in here” are not two separate things. They grow toward Quality or fall away from Quality together.

Quality isn’t method. It’s the goal toward which method is aimed.

We see much more of this loneliness now. It’s paradoxical that where people are the most closely crowded, in the big coastal cities in the East and West, the loneliness is the greatest. Back where people were so spread out in western Oregon and Idaho and Montana and the Dakotas you’d think the loneliness would have been greater, but we didn’t see it so much.

Man is not the source of all things, as the subjective idealists would say. Nor is he the passive observer of all things, as the objective idealists and materialists would say. The Quality which creates the world emerges as a relationship between man and his experience. He is a participant in the creation of all things. The measure of all things—it fits. And they taught rhetoric—that fits.

Caring about what you are doing is considered either unimportant or taken for granted.

We take a handful of sand from the endless landscape of awareness around us and call that handful of sand the world.

Solution of problems too complicated for common sense to solve is achieved by long strings of mixed inductive and deductive inferences that weave back and forth between the observed machine and the mental hierarchy of the machine found in the manuals. The correct program for this inter-weaving is formalized as scientific method.

Sometimes just the act of writing down the problems straightens out your head as to what they really are.

(1) statement of the problem, (2) hypotheses as to the cause of the problem, (3) experiments designed to test each hypothesis, (4) predicted results of the experiments, (5) observed results of the experiments and (6) conclusions from the results of the experiments.

One must be extremely careful and rigidly logical when dealing with Nature: one logical slip and an entire scientific edifice comes tumbling down. One false deduction about the machine and you can get hung up indefinitely.

Scientific questions often have a surface appearance of dumbness for this reason. They are asked in order to prevent dumb mistakes later on. Part Three, that

Scientific questions often have a surface appearance of dumbness for this reason. They are asked in order to prevent dumb mistakes later on.

An experiment is never a failure solely because it fails to achieve predicted results. An experiment is a failure only when it also fails adequately to test the hypothesis in question, when the data it produces don’t prove anything one way or another.

An untrained observer will see only physical labor and often get the idea that physical labor is mainly what the mechanic does. Actually the physical labor is the smallest and easiest part of what the mechanic does. By far the greatest part of his work is careful observation and precise thinking.

“To travel is better than to arrive”

“Peace of mind isn’t at all superficial, really,” I expound. “It’s the whole thing. That which produces it is good maintenance; that which disturbs it is poor maintenance. What we call workability of the machine is just an objectification of this peace of mind.

The ultimate test’s always your own serenity. If you don’t have this when you start and maintain it while you’re working you’re likely to build your personal problems right into the machine itself.”

“It’s an unconventional concept,” I say, “but conventional reason bears it out. The material object of observation, the bicycle or rotisserie, can’t be right or wrong. Molecules are molecules. They don’t have any ethical codes to follow except those people give them. The test of the machine is the satisfaction it gives you. There isn’t any other test. If the machine produces tranquillity it’s right. If it disturbs you it’s wrong until either the machine or your mind is changed. The test of the machine’s always your own mind. There isn’t any other test.”

“That’s self-contradictory. If you really don’t care you aren’t going to know it’s wrong. The thought’ll never occur to you. The act of pronouncing it wrong’s a form of caring.”

“What’s more common is that you feel unpeaceful even if it’s right, and I think that’s the actual case here. In this case, if you’re worried, it isn’t right. That means it isn’t checked out thoroughly enough. In any industrial situation a machine that isn’t checked out is a ‘down’ machine and can’t be used even though it may work perfectly. Your worry about the rotisserie is the same thing. You haven’t completed the ultimate requirement of achieving peace of mind, because you feel these instructions were too complicated and you may not have understood them correctly.”

the art of the work is just as dependent upon your own mind and spirit as it is upon the material of the machine. That’s why you need the peace of mind.

“You look at where you’re going and where you are and it never makes sense, but then you look back at where you’ve been and a pattern seems to emerge.

Walk into any of a hundred thousand classrooms today and hear the teachers divide and subdivide and interrelate and establish “principles” and study “methods” and what you will hear is the ghost of Aristotle speaking down through the centuries—the desiccating lifeless voice of dualistic reason.

Everyone’s just about out of gumption. And I think it’s about time to return to the rebuilding of this American resource—individual worth.

Reason and Quality had become separated and in conflict with each other and Quality had been forced under and reason made supreme somewhere back then.

“duty toward self”

Aretê implies a respect for the wholeness or oneness of life, and a consequent dislike of specialization. It implies a contempt for efficiency—or rather a much higher idea of efficiency, an efficiency which exists not in one department of life but in life itself. Phaedrus remembered a line from Thoreau:

To the untrained eye ego-climbing and selfless climbing may appear identical. Both kinds of climbers place one foot in front of the other. Both breathe in and out at the same rate. Both stop when tired. Both go forward when rested. But what a difference! The ego-climber is like an instrument that’s out of adjustment. He puts his foot down an instant too soon or too late. He’s likely to miss a beautiful passage of sunlight through the trees. He goes on when the sloppiness of his step shows he’s tired. He rests at odd times. He looks up the trail trying to see what’s ahead even when he knows what’s ahead because he just looked a second before. He goes too fast or too slow for the conditions and when he talks his talk is forever about somewhere else, something else. He’s here but he’s not here. He rejects the here, is unhappy with it, wants to be farther up the trail but when he gets there will be just as unhappy because then it will be “here.” What he’s looking for, what he wants, is all around him, but he doesn’t want that because it is all around him. Every step’s an effort, both physically and spiritually, because he imagines his goal to be external and distant.

>> How To Win Friends And Influence People (Carnegie, Dale)

Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person’s precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment.

When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.

Any fool can criticise, condemn and complain – and most fools do.

‘A great man shows his greatness,’ said Carlyle, ‘by the way he treats little men.’

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

‘It is the individual who is not interested in his fellow men who has the greatest difficulties in life and provides the greatest injury to others. It is from among such individuals that all human failures spring.’

‘Hatred is never ended by hatred but by love,’ and a misunderstanding is never ended by an argument but by tact, diplomacy, conciliation and a sympathetic desire to see the other person’s viewpoint.

Error messages may be accompanied by beeping or by flashing the screen

For example, C-x = (hold down Ctrl and type x, then let go of Ctrl and type =) displays a message describing the character at point, its position in the buffer, and its current column in the window

The least specialized major mode is called Fundamental mode

Most major modes fall into three major groups. The first group contains modes for normal text, either plain or with mark-up. It includes Text mode, HTML mode, SGML mode, TEX mode and Outline mode. The second group contains modes for specific programming languages. These include Lisp mode (which has several variants), C mode, Fortran mode, and others. The third group consists of major modes that are not associated directly with files; they are used in buffers created for specific purposes by Emacs, such as Dired mode for buffers made by Dired (see Chapter 27 [Dired], page 314), Message mode for buffers made by C-x m (see Chapter 29 [Sending Mail], page 349), and Shell mode for buffers used to communicate with an inferior shell process (see Section 31.4.2 [Interactive Shell], page 383)

The value of the buffer-local variable major-mode is a symbol with the same name as the major mode command (e.g., lisp-mode). This variable is set automatically; you should not change it yourself

Many modes also define special commands of their own, usually bound in the prefix key C-c

Every major mode, apart from Fundamental mode, defines a mode hook, a customizable list of Lisp functions to run each time the mode is enabled in a buffer.

and all programming language modes run prog-modehook, prior to running their own mode hooks

Hook functions can look at the value of the variable major-mode to see which mode is actually being entered.

If the mode command is called via Lisp, the minor mode is unconditionally turned on if the argument is omitted or nil. This makes it easy to turn on a minor mode from a major mode’s mode hook

Overwrite mode causes ordinary printing characters to replace existing text instead of shoving it to the right. For example, if point is in front of the ‘B’ in ‘FOOBAR’, then in Overwrite mode typing a G changes it to ‘FOOGAR’, instead of producing ‘FOOGBAR’ as usual. In Overwrite mode, the command C-q inserts the next character whatever it may be, even if it is a digit—this gives you a way to insert a character instead of replacing an existing character. The mode command, overwrite-mode, is bound to the Insert key.

You can also type Meta characters using two-character sequences starting with ESC. Thus, you can enter M-a by typing ESC a. You can enter C-M-a by typing ESC C-a. Unlike META, ESC is entered as a separate character. You don’t hold down ESC while typing the next character; instead, press ESC and release it, then enter the next character. This feature is useful on certain text terminals where the META key does not function reliably.

M-= Display the number of lines, words, and characters that are present in the region (count-words-region). See Chapter 8 [Mark], page 45, for information about the region.

M-x hl-line-mode Enable or disable highlighting of the current line. See Section 11.20 [Cursor Display], page 86.

partial-completion This aggressive completion style divides the minibuffer text into words separated by hyphens or spaces, and completes each word separately. (For example, when completing command names, ‘em-l-m’ completes to ‘emacs-lisp-mode’.) Furthermore, a ‘*’ in the minibuffer text is treated as a wildcard—it matches

substring A matching completion alternative must contain the text in the minibuffer before point, and the text in the minibuffer after point, as substrings (in that same order). Thus, if the text in the minibuffer is ‘foobar’, with point between ‘foo’ and ‘bar’, that matches ‘afoobbarc’, where a, b, and c can be any string including the empty string. initials This very aggressive completion style attempts to complete acronyms and initialisms. For example, when completing command names, it matches ‘lch’ to ‘list-command-history’. There is also a very simple completion style called emacs21. In this style, if the text in the minibuffer is ‘foobar’, only matches starting with ‘foobar’ are considered. You can use different completion styles in different situations, by setting the variable completion-category-overrides. For example, the default setting says to use only basic and substring completion for buffer names

Once you have a region, here are some of the ways you can operate on it:  Kill it with C-w (see Chapter 9 [Killing], page 52).  Copy it to the kill ring with M-w (see Section 9.2 [Yanking], page 55).  Convert case with C-x C-l or C-x C-u (see Section 22.6 [Case], page 215).  Undo changes within it using C-u C-/ (see Section 13.1 [Undo], page

Type M-x delete-trailing-whitespace to delete all trailing whitespace. This command deletes all extra spaces at the end of each line in the buffer, and all empty lines at the end of the buffer; to ignore the latter, change the variable delete-trailing-lines to

1. Do expect defeat. It’s a given when the stakes are high and the competition is working ferociously to beat you. If you’re surprised when it happens, you’re dreaming; dreamers don’t last long. 2 . Do force yourself to stop looking backward and dwelling on the professional “train wreck” you have just been in. It’s mental quicksand. 3 . Do allow yourself appropriate recovery—grieving—time. You’ve been knocked senseless; give yourself a little time to recuperate. A keyword here is “little.” Don’t let it drag on. 4. Do tell yourself, “I am going to stand and fight again,” with the knowledge that often when things are at their worst you’re closer than you can imagine to success. Our Super Bowl victory arrived less than sixteen months after my “train wreck” in Miami. 5. Do begin planning for your next serious encounter.

Be prepared? I was prepared for almost anything, just as you should be. I never wanted to be in a situation where I would kick myself later and say, “Why didn’t I think of that?” I didn’t want a repeat of what had happened to me up in the booth near the end of the Bengals/Raiders play-off game.

我发现塑造者通常有一些共同特征：极富好奇心；有把事情弄清楚的强烈冲动；近乎叛逆地独立思考；需要宏大别致的梦想；务实并坚毅地排除万难、实现目标；了解自己和其他人的长处和短处，所以能协调团队来实现目标。也许更重要的是，他们能同时持有相互冲突的想法，并从不同角度来看待这些想法。他们通常喜欢和其他真正的聪明人一起探索，能在全局和细节之间自如地来回跳跃，并相信二者同样重要。

>> 软技能 代码之外的生存指南 ([美]约翰 Z. 森梅兹（John Z. Sonmez）)

没有人愿意涉足的领域是搜寻机会最好的地方。可能有一个没人愿意碰的遗留应用，或者代码库里的某个特别令人讨厌的模块。正因为没有人愿意碰，所以你也无需去抢，这些就成为你日益强大的帝国的领地。如果你能把沼泽变为良田，你也就展现了自己的价值

另一种间接承担责任的方式是成为团队中其他人的导师，自愿帮助新人加速成长，为任何有需要的人提供帮助。通过介入和解决别人的问题，你不仅可以学到更多自己专业之外的知识，而且随着时间的推移，你还能在团队中逐步树立“及时雨”的名声。最终，这样的声誉可能会令你成为团队领导或者其他管理职位，只要你愿意走这条路。

有一个不受重视的项目，你能去负责它吗？ 你能帮助团队里的新人快速成长吗？ 你能负责文档制作流程，并保证及时更新这些文档吗？ 哪项工作是没有人愿意去做，你愿意承担起来，并将其简化或者自动化的？

The War of Art［Black Irish Books，2002］一书中，Steven Pressfield阐述了“专业”与“外行”之间的区别： 成为专业人士是一种心态。如果我们总是与恐惧、自毁、拖延和自我怀疑作斗争，那么问题就是：我们正在像外行那样思考问题。外行毫不起眼，外行人废话连篇，外行屈从于逆境。专业人士可不这么想。不管怎样，他引人注目，他恪尽职守，他始终如一。
