  5. This isn’t a race. Transformation takes time — not 10 days, not a deadline.

    The High Holidays call us inward: reflect, repent, commit. But lasting change is slow, gentle, step by step.

    So if you’re overwhelmed — pause. Breathe. Let Shabbat remind you that rest is holy, presence is enough, and you have time.

    Shabat Shalom 💙

    Indeed. And another re-arrangement of the axioms.

    Paul Halmos in his autobiography reports on one of his colleagues who taught a course in measure theory (I quote from memory). He set out the axioms in lecture 1. Come lecture 2, and he explains that actually, the right axioms should be such and such. And so the semester progresses, each week a new, better axiom system, with no time left for any derivations.

    I love that story, on so many levels.

  15. 3 tips for good work ethics:
    1. If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing right.
    2. If you don't have time to do it right, you sure don't have time to do it again.
    3. The world doesn't owe you a living, you have to get out and make it yourself.

  16. I know nothing about golf, I am not interested in golf, I don't like any of the cultural connotations of golf. Golf is not my thing.

    But read this article. It's hugely entertaining.

    A guy needed to win one more prize to be called a God On Earth and be allowed to wear a prestigious (and suitably ugly) green jacket. He had all the other prizes done, for many, many years. This one had eluded him. In the current round, he almost lost it again. But he somehow managed to win. Achievement at last.

    Compelling writing on the ups and downs of this last round, by Ewan Murray.

  21. @stefano that was one of the use of the quote-retweet that was never accepted on mastodon, it was useful for this very usage, boosting and emphasizing that the tweet was not necessarily your opinion. If people were not misunderstanding intentions, things would get simpler.

    Afaiac, I sometimes use the quote-rt using the ReToot iOS app or Ice-Cubes integrated quote-rt, without abusing (to not instantly get inflammatory remarks of good people dictating my behavior with “we hate tweeter here” reminders).

    The very first reply I ever received on mastodon was precisely this, and lead me to get quickly in search of building my safe “bubble” where my intentions (which are good btw 😃) would be better analyzed without a human-bot cop instantly triggering.

    My only concern in fediverse would be this one, having people instantly overreacting with the fear of having some right-wing adversaries to handle. People, take the necessary time to know people and analyze them well, then take some more minutes to either throw them in flames, or like them or their ideas (when this happens, say it too!).

    My view is “people are good by default”, opposing “all enemies until they publicly share my views”. I am reminded each day that in this wartime, my mindset may get rare, but I am fighting for it.
