It's been an interesting week, but I can't miss @ConcatenateConf for anything. I need to go experience this awesomeness put together by my brothers: @codebeast and @unicodeveloper
The turn out for Concatenate is amazing!!! @TheLarkInn is about to speak about, you know it right, @webpack.
To the ISP that provided the internet service for the Concatenate conference, all I can say is well done. The connection is amazing, the live video is excellent. Well done.

This picture is a summary of what God did for me and mine in 2018. We are all fine, stable and getting medical care. God. Is. Alive. And. Faithful.
So, if I have been slow in replying to your messages or didn’t respond at all, kindly bear with me. ‘Cos this experience still feels like a dream. I am not sure I have fully recovered from the shock.
The entire event lasted like 300 milliseconds. The last I remember was seeing a man jog that evening. Every other thing afterwards feels blur.

I think my dad finally understands what I do for a living. I think. It took 10 years, but I am glad we are here. I also used the opportunity to educate in on how card payment works. It finally made sense to him. Next up; my father in-law.
I think the clincher was explaining to him how I pay for airline tickets. This also reinforces the belief that complex concepts can be made simpler if you can relate it with everyday life.
I think it was also a learning opportunity for me as I struggled to come up with an analogy that made the most sense. It was an opportunity to explain how the PAN, CVV, PIN and OTP all come together to enable a successful transaction.

A true somali horror story - A thread
Backstory - This story was told to me by my adeero who experienced this in May 1972.
The year was 1972 hargeisa and my uncle on my mothers side, who was 17 at the time was working to help import goods from hargeisa to berbera and vice versa. One day there was a shortage of jobs and my uncle was desperately looking for a truck driver.

Bruce Thornton talks about the decline of faith and the delusion that human power and will alone can save us from 'the tragic limits of earthly life, such as inequality, suffering, injustice, and violence.'

'Writing last week about the new affection for socialism on the part of Millellenials, electoral maven Karl Rove warned us not to ignore or dismiss this enthusiasm.

Socialism’s long record of failure “doesn’t mean new forms of socialism can’t gain a following.”
'Rove’s solution is for Republicans to “do the hard work of updating old arguments,” and “hone their arguments” against socialist policies in preparation for the 2020 presidential race.'

After four years of University lecturing and ten years of research mentoring, I present: what's Lindy in education and teaching? via @PaulSkallas at the @LindyEffect and @nntaleb.
Absolutely top Lindy: the chalkboard. Every time I've rolled up the projector screen and written on the board, students learn. It slows you down (of course), presents the mechanics of the task (forming letters, drawing symbols), sound of chalk (tap, tap) wakes you up—
—demonstrates purposeful effort (you are clearly exerting yourself), differential speed (the harder bits naturally slow you down as well), you can muse and chatter while the symbols go up (like a mechanic talking through a car repair).

› back to black ‧ taekook au

the one where taehyung is a spy, jungkook is his target, and the world is their playground.
The first time Taehyung goes on a mission, it’s by complete accident.

There’s some sort of chaos outbreak at HQ, and before he knows it, Taehyung--an untrained, unpaid, unsure intern--is swept into a slick black SUV and sent off to an unknown location.
He looks around, not very optimistic at the sight of the other nervous faces in the car. When the vehicle finally stops, the doors are pulled open by a very gruff-looking man, his face streaked with blood and his arm in a rough-looking sling.

Thought: some standards & open-source work ends up where it is not on technical merit, but b/c the person advocating is adamant their way is correct. Standardization by attrition?
Some upside to strong vision 👍, sad it favors the assertive 😕.
How can we do better? 👇
I'm certainly guilty of having some idée fixe sometimes. Chairing the WebAssembly CG has taught me how to temper my own convictions, and try to mediate others' debate. Even then it's hard to hold back while having a strong opinion, and I've appreciated being called out.
I've found it useful to:
∙ summarize different points of view out loud
∙ ask quiet attendees to chime in
∙ avoid a handful of people going back-and-forth
∙ go to a social event together, discuss the next day
∙ insist that we assume good faith
