Thinking Algorithmic In Assembly
▻https://hackernoon.com/thinking-algorithmic-in-assembly-775e768c03e2?source=rss----3a8144eabfe3
Data structures and algorithms are essential to computer science. Yes, it is true that most software engineers don’t implement them on an every day basis. However, I do strongly believe that a good foundation of data structures and algorithms can help make you a better, overall engineer.Today I’m going to be demoing an implementation of bubble sort in assembly. To most people, the thought of this probably sounds insane. You’re probably thinking, “Why on earth would you implement an algorithm in assembly?” Well to start off, I would probably never write a production application in assembly. Compilers do a WAY better job of writing assembly than I do. However, I do think it is important to understand assembly. Most of us run commands to compile our code, and I think it’s really easy to take (...)

Why I’m Definitely Pessimistic On Indefinite Optimists
▻https://hackernoon.com/why-im-definitely-pessimistic-on-indefinite-optimists-8f73ecfaca7?source
I have been reading Peter Thiel’s book, Zero To One, Notes on Startups, Or How to Build the Future. One of the most recent chapters I was reading about discussed the topic of definite and indefinite optimism (with pessimism thrown in as well, but that’s not incredibly important now). I found myself coming to the conclusion that indefinite optimism is to be avoided while definite optimism is what we should strive for in everything we do. I wanted to take some time this morning to reflect on why I feel this way.Photo by Andre Gorham II on UnsplashIndefinite Optimism Assumes Things Will Get Better Without A PlanBeing optimistic means that you are hopeful and confident about the future. You believe that overtime things will get better. One industry that is full of optimists is the financial (...)

Rewire your brain — be efficient, organised and smart

Rewire your brain — be efficient, organised and smartAs human beings, we all have likes, dislikes, moments, memories, fears, hopes, wishes, dreams and aspirations. They are all infinitely, formed and reformed every day, every second.We are also a slave to our subconscious patterns, habits and reflexes. It could be something as simple as wetting our feet before starting a bath or wearing a pair of socks in the right foot first — we don’t do it intentionally, do we? Our brain, in effect, becomes the ultimate recorder for all of these versions and iterations of thoughts. And we continue to wire our brain subconsciously.Let’s quantify the amount of information our brain can store — it has a storage and memory power of a super-duper-computer — it can store about 2.5 petabytes i.e. 2.5 million gigabytes (...)

Where does the Internet go to ‘Change its mind’?

maybe it’s the reddit thread treasure trove Change my View (CMV)…It is human to hold beliefs. Superhuman to be able to change them. Photo credit — Raj EiamworakulOn February 16th, 2018 when comedian Steven crowder tweeted a picture of himself with the sign ‘Male Privilege is a myth. Change My Mind’ , chances are little that he knew what was coming. Internet took to photo-shopping various versions of this photo and in a matter of hours the ever so mysterious deity of all things viral took over and birthed tens of thousands of children of the image; also called memes.But, it got me #thinking about the lost art of changing our minds. In today’s age, it is only to human to have opinions, but superhuman to be able to change them . I asked myself, when was the last time I said ‘This changed my mind’.Do (...)

Your Brain Has A “Delete” Button—Here’s How To Use It | Fast Company | Business + Innovation

you actually have some control over what your brain decides to delete while you sleep. It’s the synaptic connections you don’t use that get marked for recycling. The ones you do use are the ones that get watered and oxygenated. So be mindful of what you’re thinking about.

Deliberate Learning
▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPj-23z-hQA
Some programmers look at programming as more than their day job. They want to deepen their understanding, develop #skills and learn #techniques that will make them better programmers. Many invest their time outside of work or college in coding #dojos practising “code #katas” where they learn to fluently #solve a Tower of Hanoi problem in Ruby or a Harry Potter book store problem in Python. I admire their dedication but I’m not convinced this is the best #approach to making anyone a better programmer.
The metaphor of dojos and katas for improving programming skills is misleading. #Learning martial arts - and musical scales for that matter - is about deliberate practise whereas programming skills are developed through deliberate learning . In the former, you aspire to flawlessly reproduce a given sequence of moves or perform a piece of music. You want to perform the perfect ippon seo nage or play Rachmaninoff’s 3rd Symphony without a single error. Deliberate learning on the other hand is about developing #discovery and problem-solving skills in unfamiliar contexts .
In this talk Dan argues the case for deliberate learning with some techniques for improving your programming, and explains why Foo Café is such an important idea.
Dan North uses his deep technical and organisational knowledge to help CIOs, business and software teams to deliver quickly and successfully. He puts people first and finds simple, pragmatic solutions to business and technical problems, often using lean and agile techniques. He believes most technology #problems are really about #communication and #feedback, which explains his interest in organisational #design, systems #thinking and how people learn.
