Hello again,
I have two new posts for you:
I also made public an excerpt I previously uploaded from an IFS book:
Internal Family Systems help sheet
Now that I have a few places on the site for links, I’ve been adding lots from my notes. Under the Self section is now:
- Give up: a meditation technique - by Sasha Chapin
- How to Be an Expert Fear-Driven Person - by Sasha Chapin
- The Buddha’s Teachings: An Introduction, by Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu
- Articles - Shinzen Young - Shinzen’s various PDFs about meditation
Misc:
Software:
- Incidents — notes.doismellburning.co.uk (a collection of resources on incidents)
- Schema migrations and avoiding downtime - quanttype (didn’t even realise this could be an issue)
- dbmate: A lightweight, framework-agnostic database migration tool
- Sunsetting Cursed Terminal Emulation - Arcan
- Designing with types: Making illegal states unrepresentable
- Restyling apps at scale – Space and Meaning (or rather, how it’s not really possible)
- Why Kakoune — The quest for a better code editor (This convinced me that modal editing is good and the things I don’t like about Vim are about Vim specifically and not about modal editing in general. I now have been using Kakoune-inspired extension Dance in VS Code for several years. Also the official documentation for Vim and Kakoune lack context and are hard to learn from; they should be more like Practical Vim command workflow - Max Shen Dev.)
As always, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to send a mail to tom@tmewett.com or leave an anonymous message.
Takk…
