The last quality, perseverance, I particularly respect: it is the very hinge of all virtues. — On looking over the world, the cause of nine parts in ten of the lamentable failures which occur in men’s undertakings & darken and degrade so much of their history, lies not in the want of talents or the will to use them, but in the vacillating and desultory mode of using them — in flying from object to object, in starting away at each little disgust, and thus applying the force which might conquer any one difficulty to a series of difficulties so large that no human force can conquer them.
The smallest brook on earth, by continual running, has hollowed out for itself a considerable valley to flow in: the wildest tempest, by its occasional raging, over-turns a few cottages, uproots a few trees, and leaves after a short space no mark behind it. Commend me therefore to the Dutch virtue of perseverance! Without it all the rest are little better than fairy gold, which glitters in your purse, but when taken to the market proves to be — slate or cinders.Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian

🚀 Oh, look, another Python optimization saga where someone tries to make this snail of a language race like a cheetah... and fails spectacularly. 😂 Spoiler: After a million benchmarks and a truckload of "optimizations," Python is still Python—slow and steady, just not winning any races! 🐢💨

"Real progress is often invisible, boring, and repetitive. Don't mistake the quiet for regression!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
It's often about the small steps, not the big leaps.
The quiet progress you make, not the noisy success you relish.
The effort you put in daily, not the audacious stretch goal you choose to chase once.
Showing up all the time, not just when it suits you.
Measuring your progress by what really matters - not by what you think matters.
Some people chase success with reckless abandon, thrashing about with wild activity.
Others just show up.
And put in the work.
Success is about patience.
It's often quiet, slow, and deliberate.
Unseen.
But it's there.

Some software platforms are *complex*. Even integrating two systems that use the same technologies, can be fraught with a thousand small barriers.
@fastmail took three decades to finally integrate the #email systems of POBox into #Fastmail email systems, and this week published an interesting examination of what all that involved.

#Oxford #SlowSession happening tomorrow - first time at the #SlowAndSteady - formerly the White House https://oxfordslowsession.com/about/tune-of-the-month/ #folk #session

According to the #Oxford Mail there is now a campaign against the #Dodo Pub Co.'s plan to rename the White House pub to Slow and Steady. As we are hoping to hold the #SlowSession there again, which has been in the White House for the last couple of years, we can't really find fault with the name. #SlowAndSteady is how we roll ... #folk

A great run before work this morning. And an eclectic mix of music pushing me along the way.

I just had to explain to my 12 yo trans son that I can not take his friends with us to the pride parade on Saturday without their parent's permission.
I asked him if his friend's parents knew that he is trans. He was not sure. Sometimes it's best not to rush things. #ProtectTransKids #SlowAndSteady #RespectOthers -
First run of the season. Finally pushed myself outside for a run. Felt great, but man that last kilometer was tough. Pushed on through.
