@practicingdev This quote from Hamming's The Art of Doing Science and Engineering immediately came to mind: "In science, if you know what you are doing, you should not be doing it. In engineering, if you do not know what you are doing, you should not be doing it."

Israel & the Myth of 'Self Defence' @davidahearst

@arjanbroere @fortelabs A word of advice: any advice that has words like "never" or "always" is always a bad one. Never listen to such advice! ... I'll show myself out.

@fortelabs I would say any advice that has words like 'never' or 'always' in them

What's the worst productivity advice you've ever received?

@fortelabs Better yet, publish your answer in an appropriate place and share it with those who ask. When you separate your message's payload from its delivery notification, you exploit powerful network effects and unlock your reach & impact. (I stole the idea from @judell via @shanselman)

Have you been asked a question more than twice? If so... Take your answer and write it in an evergreen document where you can access it easily the next time someone asks you that question. This way you think once and share twice (or more).

@LoganBrownSWS @thedankoe "The gap between thought and action is where success goes to die." Just brilliant! I'm definitely stealing this.

@thedankoe I’m convinced the gap between thought and action is where success goes to die. The smaller the gap, the more successful you become.

A pattern I've noticed in creatives: They do everything in their power to minimize the time between inspiration and action.

@aidanxbriggs @LoganBrownSWS @thedankoe So empowering indeed. I've always been a thinker, but I became increasingly dormant over the last couple of years. After re-embracing and re-engaging the Thinker within but with an eye toward execution (creating output), I feel I'm transforming into a better thinker _and_ doer.

@LoganBrownSWS @thedankoe The gap I'm trying to reduce. In the past I've regularly just kept as being a thinker of things rather than executing and taking action. Now I'm starting to execute (poorly), it feels so empowering, highly recommend everyone learns to execute as soon as possible.

@Koushikcrez @pvergadia +1 for product icons but with the bigger font size for the text.

@pvergadia With product icon but the lettering to be bigger than what it is now.

@HindHassanNews @lalarian @seanmstephens @rosenfeld_oren @brandonmeyer @thomson_craig Just watched the report. Thank you and the entire team for the excellent and brave journalism. Please stay safe, and keep up the outstanding work.

Shireen spent decades dedicated to her work as a journalist. She is irreplaceable but we will work hard to continue covering these stories in her memory. Team: @lalarian @seanmstephens @rosenfeld_oren Ayman A, Hisham A, Dave G, @brandonmeyer Philip P, @thomson_craig

Our @VICENews report from Jenin refugee camp & Jerusalem. We gain access to Palestinian fighters, Israeli soldiers, a shooting range in the occupied West Bank & film inside Al Aqsa during Israeli police raids. This was a hard one to film for many reasons. youtu.be/iZ5SZFAhWPk

A big Thank You to @the_LYT_way, @NickMilo, and @daniel_lardi for organizing this event. Looking forward to all of the remaining talks!

🔍 You can't look up what you don't know It's so easy to look up so much factual information available at our fingertips, but creativity and insights require internalized knowledge.

.@rroudt's talk on The Power of Keeping a Learning Log was full of gems (as were the other #LinkingYourThinkingConference talks so far). Here are 2 points that I took away that particularly resonated with me. (A short 🧵⬇️)

Shireen was a Palestinian-American, Christian, female journalist. Where's the outrage from the women's rights groups? The "Christian" right in America? Where's their outrage over her killing and this barbarism during her funeral procession? Too coward to criticize israel?

@unclebobmartin This. Don't subtitle your code, and don't explain your jokes...unless there's no other way. (Paragraph in the screenshot is from @russolsen 's excellent book Eloquent Ruby.)

Code that expresses its intent does not require comments. Code is not a perfectly expressive medium, so some comments will be necessary. However minimizing comments, by working hard to make the code more expressive, is a worthy goal.

@SaudiPost_Care شكراً جزيلاً لكم 👍🙏

@ysulaiman اهلاً ياسر سعدنا بالتواصل معك في الخاص وخدمتك.. يومك سعيد. ^A

@SaudiPost_Care أحاول القيام بتحديث عنواني الوطني عن طريق الموقع، لكن تظهر لي رسالة "عفواً، العنوان مسجل مسبقاً لعميل آخر". أرسلت لكم التفاصيل والإثباتات المطلوبة على الخاص منذ يومين لكن لم يصلني بعدها أي توجيه أو مساعدة بخصوص حل المشكلة.

@SaudiPost_Care قمت بتوفير تفاصيل العنوان الوطني على الخاص نهاية الأسبوع الماضي. أرجو إستكمال المساعدة مشكورين.

@ysulaiman اهلا بك.. تم التواصل معك على الخاص و نتمنى توفر لنا تفاصيل العنوان الوطني لنتمكن من مساعدتك.. نشكر تواصلك^S

@mufeed_AR عفواً أخ مفيد لكن ما هو مصدرك لأرقام تلك الدول؟ لأنه بناءً على بيانات @OurWorldInData لتلك الدول، فما ذكرته أنت هنا يبدو غير صحيح (إذا استخدمنا المعدل الذي ذكرته للسعودية، 9,912 فحص لكل مليون نسمة، أي 9.91 فحص لكل 1,000 نسمة). ourworldindata.org/grapher/full-l…

إرتفع عدد الفحوصات المخبرية لفيروس كورونا، والتي تم إجراؤها في #السعودية حتى اليوم إلى 339,775 فحص. بمعدل 9,912 فحص لكل مليون نسمة. ومعدل 13 فحص لإكتشاف حالة واحدة.
