  1. I've always said that if I won the lottery, I'd become a lifelong student. 🎓

    I'd spend my days studying philosophy, law, woodworking, computer science, culinary arts, languages (French & Spanish), history, and whatever else caught my curiosity.

    No career ladder. No 9-to-5. Just books, courses, projects and endless rabbit holes. Sounds pretty close to paradise to me.

  18. Do you ever feel there’s too many ready-made answers that don’t fit your needs? Me too. That’s why I’m exploring an alternative: ’living questions’. Not quite Rilke, but also not not Rilke.

  23. A lot of people: How did you become a successful gardener?

    Me: I made a lot of mistakes while learning to grow plants. I'm more successful now because of getting a lot of stuff wrong, many times before. I fucked up often & learned a lot from past mistakes.

  28. The one thing #AI has undeniably generated, is the insane amount of real people saying dumb shit as if it's something profound. And yes, I've noticed the irony here. I felt compelled to share this, reading a #techbro post, only the ones who have the skill to continue to learn, will survive this revolution. As if #educators haven't talked for decades about #lifelonglearning, with #industry heads and tech bros bobbing their heads like shakers accompanying the tune of progress, while clueless to RL

  29. Your Brain in the Age of AI: How to Keep Growing When a Machine Can Think for You

    Claire noticed it about four months into using AI for nearly everything — the reports, the client summaries, the first drafts of pitches she used to sweat over for hours. Her output had gotten faster. Cleaner, even. Nobody on her team could tell the difference between what she'd written and what the machine had drafted for her, and honestly, neither could she anymore. What she couldn't figure out was David. David sat two desks over, ran the same tools she did, and by any reasonable […]

  30. Somewhere along the way, most of us stopped treating learning as an adventure and started treating it as a performance.

    Children don’t ask, “What if I sound silly?” They don’t wait until they know every rule before they speak. They experiment. They laugh. They make mistakes. Then they try again. Every attempt moves them forward.

    Adults often do the opposite.

    We convince ourselves we need to know more before we begin. We worry about pronunciation. We overthink every sentence. We stay silent because silence feels safer than getting it wrong.

    But language has never belonged to the fearless. It belongs to the willing.

    That is why I teach Hebrew differently.

    Inside Practically Speaking Hebrew, I don’t expect perfection. I expect participation. I want you speaking from the very beginning.

  35. For newbies feeling hesitant or frustrated about #Emacs and its Lisp flavor. tl;dr #Foss #lifelonglearning victories!

    In 2010 or so I watched an interview with the immortal Carsten Dominik, creator of Org mode. He made an offhand remark to the effect of "I just love coding in Emacs Lisp, it's just how I think, it's just so natural, don't you agree?" And I was very unhappy. Because I could not agree. That discouragement stuck with me.

    My wife always says "the time is going to go by anyway," and this is wisdom. By 2023 I had written "org-teach" for producing classroom materials, shared it at EmacsConf, actually used it in the wild. Others around here have done similar, @randyridenour @ericsfraga @asilata sorry if I'm forgetting you.

    Long story short, the underlying #TeXLaTeX core couldn't do #taggedpdf until 2025. I asked on here for help and @yantar92 went to the mailing list and before I could say meta x @paaguti and @schuemaa had us all sorted out. So grateful!

    codeberg.org/paaguti/pdf-ua2-t

    With these significantly changed dependencies I decided to rewrite the jank that was org-teach from scratch. And it feels like lightning shoots from my fingertips now. I can implement functionality almost as fast as I can think of it. Too messy to share quite yet. But this kind of workflow and software self sufficiency feels like a superpower. Emacs Lisp just feels natural now. After only a decade and a half!

    But seriously, all my progress is thanks to this community.
