  1. “… many turn to #influencers for their formulas for “winning” at life that often judge us based on challenging perceptions of beauty or endurance or wealth. The trend towards #optimizing provokes people to track everything they do, from the number of steps, to hours of sleep, but for what? To prove they have a right to be here? To belong? To be loved? It definitely doesn’t appear to be making people happier. That may be the cost of simplification of complex advice that edits down more complex ideas into a more superficial draft. The profits come with the reality that it works. People will click on these videos, subscribe to podcasts, and buy all the books. **At some point we stopped looking for how to be a good person and instead aimed to be impressive or even just base-line likeable.**”

  3. #WorldCup #Futebol #futbol
    “… #southamerican #football never fully abandoned #theduel as the fundamental unit of the game. the 1v1 remained sacred. so did the tactical foul, the unpredictable dribble, and the player willing to lose possession five times if the sixth breaks the match open. the objective was never simply to preserve structure, it was to create someone capable of destroying the opponent’s structure.

    football is not won by completing the most passes. it is won by scoring more goals than the other team. those are related, but they are not the same objective.

    this is the danger of #optimizing proxies. when everyone optimizes the same measurements, they stop optimizing for victory itself. they optimize for looking #efficient.”

  17. Stop Over-optimizing your Rust

    Just cause Rust _lets_ you optimize your code, it doesn't mean you _should_!

    Clone things if it makes your life easier! You can always come back and optimize it later if it turns out to matter. I’ve found that often what I thought was important to optimize up front was the wrong thing to focus on.
