What is Oils ?</h2>
Oils is an upgrade path from bash to a better language and runtime.
It comes in two shells, each built for a different kind of user:
What are OSH and YSH?</h3>
OSH runs your existing shell scripts.
What it does:
- follows bash/dash/mksh behavior</li> </ul>
 Gradual migration path
 - Projects that need bash compatibility</li> </ul>
 Example:
```
#!/usr/bin/env osh
# Your existing bash script works as-is!
for file in *.txt; do

if [[ -f "$file" ]]; then

echo "Processing $file"
cat "$file" | grep pattern
fi
done</code></pre>YSH - Yaks Shell (Modern Shell Language)</h3>
YSH has a a faimilar syntax similar with python/javascript so you should have no problem if you are conversant with any of those langugages.
What it does:

Modern shell language with clean syntax</li>
Data structures - lists, dicts (not just strings)</li>
Type safety - reduce errors with static types</li>
Better error handling - explicit try/catch</li>
Expression-oriented</li>
Block syntax - { } for cleaner code organization</li>
</ul>
Target users:

People who find bash syntax confusing</li>
</ul>
Example:
#!/usr/bin/env ysh

echo 'Variable and Expressions'
const name = 'YSH User'
var x = 10
setvar x = x * 2 + 5

echo "Hello $name!"
echo "x + 10 = $[x + 10]"
echo "Command sub: $(echo hi)"
echo ''


echo 'Data Structures (Lists & Dicts)'
var mylist = [x, 'foo', 'bar']
var person = {name: 'Alice', age: 30}

for i, item in (mylist) {
 echo " List[$i]: $item"
}
echo ''


echo 'Expression-based Control Flow'
if (person.age > 20 and x > 20) {
 echo " $[person.name] is over 20 and x is over 20."
}
echo ''


echo 'Shell-like proc (Procedure)'
proc greet (name_str) {
 echo " Proc says: Hello, $name_str"
}
greet 'World'
echo ''


echo 'Python-like func (Function)'
func multiply (a, b) {
 return (a * b)
}
echo " Func says: 5 * 7 = $[multiply(5, 7)]"
echo ''



echo "$[ENV.PWD]"
echo ''


echo 'Built-in JSON Handling'
echo " Writing 'person' dict to JSON:"
json write (person)</code></pre>Prerequisites</h2>
Oils is written in Python, and you'll be reading/writing Python code daily.

[] A good understanding of python</li>
[] A Good understanding of how Lexers, parsers, and interpreters works in a practical context</li>
</ul>
Learning</h3>

Book: "Crafting Interpreters" by Robert Nystrom - Best intro to parsers</li>
Tutorial: Let's Build a Simple Interpreter</a></li>
Book: "The Linux Programming Interface" - Unix process management</li>
</ul>
Getting Started: The 5-Minute Setup</h3>
installation</h3>
You'll need:

Python2</li>
Git</li>
Basic command-line knowledge</li>
A Linux machine (or WSL on Windows)</li>
</ul>
Quick Setup</h3>
# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/oils-for-unix/oils.git
cd oils

# Install system dependencies (choose your distro)
build/deps.sh wedge-deps-debian # Ubuntu/Debian (uses sudo apt-get)
# OR
build/deps.sh wedge-deps-alpine # Alpine Linux
# OR
build/deps.sh wedge-deps-fedora # Fedora/RHEL

# Download and build custom tools
build/deps.sh fetch # Download source tarballs
 
build/deps.sh install-wedges # Build and install tools (takes 5-10 min)

# Every time you git pull
. build/dev-shell.sh # Update PATH with custom Python
build/py.sh all # Regenerate Python code (lexer, help, etc.)


# 3. Try it out!
bin/osh -c 'echo "Hello from OSH!"'
bin/ysh -c 'echo "Hello from YSH!"'

# 4. Test it works
test/spec.sh builtin-echo</code></pre>

Understanding the Codebase</h2>
The Big Picture: How Shells Work</h3>
Every shell follows this pipeline:
Input → Lexer → Parser → AST → Evaluator → Output
 ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
stdin Tokens Syntax Tree Execution stdout</code></pre>
Let's trace echo $USER</code>:

Input: User types echo $USER</code></li>
Lexer breaks it into tokens: [echo]</code> [$USER]</code></li>
Parser builds an AST: Simple(words=['echo', VarSub('USER')])</code></li>
Evaluator looks up USER</code> → 'alice'</code>, then runs echo alice</code></li>
Output: alice</code> printed to stdout</li>
</ol>
Directory Structure</h3>
The codebase is organized logically:
oils/
├── frontend/ # Lexing, tokens (both OSH & YSH)
├── osh/ # OSH-specific parsing & evaluation
├── ysh/ # YSH-specific parsing & evaluation
├── core/ # Shared runtime (process management, state)
├── builtin/ # Built-in commands (cd, echo, trap, etc.)
├── spec/ # Tests comparing Oils to other shells
└── _devbuild/gen/ # Generated code (don't edit!)</code></pre>

Important: Universal code (like process management) lives in core/</code>. Shell-specific code is in osh/</code> or ysh/</code>.

Outsourcing your brain
2025-11-30T00:00:00+00:00
Once upon a time I used to Imagine the power one person could hold if they truly understood how technology works.
Now, that idea feels a bit shaky because thinking has been outsourced to LLMs.
But using your brain is just as important as going to the gym, it’s how you stay mentally strong.
It’s okay to be clueless or make unhealthy decisions at some point in your life, just make sure you start using your brain before it’s too late.
It’s important you take note of how new technology affects you.

Learn how to learn //learn to push your self</li>
Understand how thing works on a deeper level.</li>
</ul>
Be the control freak to LLm...

Learn to use your brain.
</blockquote>
At some point in the future, thinking might just be the next new thing.

</ul>
Melismas

Singing multiple notes on a single syllable of text</li>
</ul>
Improvisation

Spontaneous melodic and rhythmic variations, especially in vocals</li>
</ul>
Rhythmic Syncopation

Emphasizing off-beats and creating a "groove"</li>
</ul>
Vamps

Repeating short musical phrases, often with increasing intensity</li>
</ul>
Key Changes

Dramatic modulations, often rising by a semitone or whole tone</li>
</ul>
Walking Bass Lines

Steady, stepwise bass movement, often in quarter notes</li>
</ul>
Chords and Progressions</h2>

Gospel Chord Techniques</h3>


Cluster Chords: Close voicings, often including 2nds
Example: C(add9) voiced as C-D-E-G
</li>

Passing Chords: Chromatic movement between main chords
Example: C - C#dim7 - Dm7 - G7
</li>

Borrowed Chords: Using chords from parallel minor
Example: In C major, using Ab (bVI) or Fm (iv)
</li>

Extended Dominants: Using 9ths, 11ths, and 13ths on dominant chords
Example: G13 in place of G7
</li>

Tritone Substitution: Replacing V7 with bII7
Example: Db7 instead of G7 in the key of C
</li>
</ol>
Practice Tips

Start by mastering basic progressions, then add extensions and alterations</li>
Practice with recordings of gospel music to internalize the feel</li>
Work on developing a strong sense of rhythm and groove</li>
Experiment with different voicings and inversions of chords</li>
Focus on creating smooth voice leading between chords</li>
Practice improvising melodies over common gospel progressions</li>
</ul>

This post was originally intended to be about Neovim</a> configuration, but changed its focus along the way.
Operating System:
I was never a big fan of Windows, though I started with it. I disliked dealing with numerous floating windows just to complete a task that can be done within the terminal window. You don't get to choose your window manager, login manager or choose when to upgrade, etc. You basically don't own that computer.
Computer 0: Arch Linux</a>

I switch between Sway</a> and i3</a> tiling window managers, for reasons that are admittedly somewhat amusing.
Computer 1: Ubuntu</a>

Also equipped with i3 and Sway tiling window managers.
Computer 2: :}
I tend to gravitate towards tools written in my favorite programming languages and projects I could potentially contribute to when needed (with the exception of VSCode).
Code Editors:

I switch between Vim/Neovim and VSCode, depending on my mood. Occasionally, I use Lapce</a> as well.
Neovim Configuration:

My Neovim configuration looks like the picture above... lol that is exactly how it looks... if you're curious, check out my Configs</a>
For terminal emulator, I use Alacritty</a>, and for terminal multiplexing, I primarily use Tmux</a>. My shell environment is mostly Bash.
Browsers:

While I prefer Firefox</a>, I occasionally use Chrome and Brave.

Piano Chord Voicing Techniques in Jazz
2024-07-15T00:00:00+00:00
Voicing chords on the piano involves creatively arranging the notes of a chord to achieve different textures and harmonies. Common methods of voicing chords:
Root Position and Inversions</h3>

Root Position: The root of the chord is the lowest note. 1 - 3 - 5 - 7</li>
1st Inversion: The third of the chord is the lowest note. 3 - 5 - 7 - 1</li>
2nd Inversion: The fifth of the chord is the lowest note. 5 - 7 - 1 - 3</li>
3rd Inversion (for 7th chords): The seventh of the chord is the lowest note. 7 - 1 - 3 - 5</li>
</ul>
Closed and Open Voicings</h3>

Closed Voicing: All chord tones are within an octave. 1 - 3 - 5 - 7</li>
Open Voicing: Chord tones are spread out, often spanning more than an octave. 1 - 5 - 7 - 3</li>
</ul>
Drop Voicings</h3>

Drop 2 Voicing: The second highest note of a closed voicing is dropped an octave. 5 - 1 - 3 - 7</li>
Drop 3 Voicing: The third highest note of a closed voicing is dropped an octave. 3 - 7 - 1 - 5</li>
Drop 2 and 4 Voicing: Both the second and fourth highest notes are dropped an octave. 3 - 5 - 7 - 1</li>
</ul>
Quartal and Quintal Voicings</h3>

Quartal Voicing: Chords built in fourths (e.g., C-F-Bb). 1 - 4 - b7 (or 1 - 4 - 7)</li>
Quintal Voicing: Chords built in fifths (e.g., C-G-D). 1 - 5 - 9</li>
</ul>
Cluster Voicings</h3>

Tone Clusters: Chords with notes that are close together, often including seconds and minor seconds.</li>
</ul>
Shell Voicings</h3>

Left Hand Shells: Often used in jazz, consisting of the root, third, and seventh (or sometimes the root and seventh, or root and third).</li>
</ul>
Upper Structure Triads</h3>
Combining a triad (often major or minor) over a different bass note to create complex chords (e.g., an E major triad over a C bass note for a Cmaj#11 sound). 1 - 3 - #11 - 7
So What Voicing</h3>
Based on the voicing used in the Miles Davis tune "So What," consisting of a stack of fourths with a major third on top (e.g., D-G-C-F-A). 1 - 4 - 7 - 3 - 6
Rootless Voicings</h3>

Rootless Left Hand Voicings: Often used in jazz, where the left hand plays the third and seventh (and possibly other tensions) while the root is implied or played by a bass player.</li>
</ul>
Guide Tone Voicings</h3>
Chords reduced to their essential tones, often the third and seventh, which guide the harmony.
Practical Examples</h3>

Cmaj7 (root position): C-E-G-B 1 - 3 - 5 - 7</li>
Cmaj7 (1st inversion): E-G-B-C 3 - 5 - 7 - 1</li>
Cmaj7 (2nd inversion): G-B-C-E 5 - 7 - 1 - 3</li>
Cmaj7 (3rd inversion): B-C-E-G 7 - 1 - 3 - 5</li>
Cmaj7 (closed voicing): C-E-G-B 1 - 3 - 5 - 7</li>
Cmaj7 (open voicing): C-G-B-E 1 - 5 - 7 - 3</li>
Cmaj7 (drop 2 voicing): G-C-E-B 5 - 1 - 3 - 7</li>
Cmaj7 (shell voicing): C-E-B 1 - 3 - 7</li>
</ul>
Jazz-Specific Voicings</h3>

C7 (rootless left hand voicing): E-Bb (3rd and 7th) 3 - b7</li>
C7 (upper structure triad): E-G#-C# (augmented triad over C) 3 - #5 - #1</li>
</ul>

 
 
 
 
 Tips for Jazz Voicings
 
 

Use Tensions: Add 9ths, 11ths, and 13ths to enrich the harmony.</li>
Voice Leading: Smooth transitions between chords by moving the smallest distance possible.</li>
Avoid Doubling: Especially the root and fifth, unless stylistically appropriate.</li>
</ul>

My Approach to Resting Right from the Gym
2024-06-04T00:00:00+00:00
One thing you shouldn't do when aiming to take a rest is to spend more than a month resting. You are pretty much reversing all that hard work. I am actually known as the guy that can never take a rest from the gym...
Spoilers

I once told @soso</a> and @Retr0ville</a> that I was going to take a break from the gym for a week and ended up going to two gym sessions during the same week. Weird, right? :) //There are a couple more examples.


How would I take a proper rest assuming I am willing to take a one-month rest?</h3>


I would go to the gym once a week and do a 1-rep max on all my major exercises. We should probably call this Powerlifting, I guess.
 //If this isn't an option, get two dumbbells at home.
</li>

Keep up with my normal nutrition and I would advise you to eat more.
</li>
</ul>
This is how I would take a proper rest... I actually don't have a scientific backing for this or can give professional advice for this, but if you do have a research paper showing how this should be done properly, shoot me an email at the.daveads@gmail.com</a>.

Docker key words
2023-09-22T00:00:00+00:00
Docker file note
Certainly, here are all the commonly used Dockerfile commands along with detailed explanations:


FROM:


Specifies the base image to use as the starting point for your Docker image.
</li>

Usage: FROM image:tag</code>
</li>

Example: FROM ubuntu:latest</code>
</li>
</ul>
</li>

RUN:

Executes shell commands within the image during the build process. Typically used for installing software, updating packages, or any setup tasks.</li>
Usage: RUN command</code></li>
Example: RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y python3</code></li>
</ul>
</li>

COPY:

Copies files or directories from the host machine into the image. It's often used to add application code and resources to the image.</li>
Usage: COPY source destination</code></li>
Example: COPY app.py /app/</code></li>
</ul>
</li>

WORKDIR:

Sets the working directory inside the container where subsequent commands will be executed. Useful for organizing files and specifying paths.</li>
Usage: WORKDIR path</code></li>
Example: WORKDIR /app</code></li>
</ul>
</li>

EXPOSE:

Informs Docker that the container will listen on specific ports at runtime. It doesn't actually expose the ports; it's for documentation purposes.</li>
Usage: EXPOSE port(s)</code></li>
Example: EXPOSE 8080</code></li>
</ul>
</li>

CMD:

Specifies the default command to run when a container is started from the image. You can override it when starting a container.</li>
Usage: CMD ["executable", "param1", "param2"]</code></li>
Example: CMD ["python3", "app.py"]</code></li>
</ul>
</li>

ENTRYPOINT:

Similar to CMD, it defines the default command to run when a container starts, but it's more rigid and doesn't allow command override. Useful for creating containerized applications that act like executables.</li>
Usage: ENTRYPOINT ["executable", "param1", "param2"]</code></li>
Example: ENTRYPOINT ["python3", "app.py"]</code></li>
</ul>
</li>

ENV:

Sets environment variables within the container. These variables can be used in subsequent Dockerfile commands or by the running application.</li>
Usage: ENV key=value</code></li>
Example: ENV MY_VARIABLE=value</code></li>
</ul>
</li>

VOLUME:

Creates a mount point for external volumes or data to be shared with the container. It allows data persistence and sharing between containers.</li>
Usage: VOLUME /path</code></li>
Example: VOLUME /data</code></li>
</ul>
</li>

USER:

Sets the user or UID (User ID) under which the container will run. It's useful for improving security by running processes with lower privileges.</li>
Usage: USER username_or_UID</code></li>
Example: USER appuser</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>

The register is built into the cpu, it is used to store temporary data that the cpu needs to access quickly in oder to perform its operation.
Types of cpu registers


General-purpose registers :
These registers can be used to store any type of data, including operands for arithmetic and logic operations, pointers to memory locations, and intermediate results of calculations.
</li>

Program counter register:
This register holds the address of the next instruction to be executed by the CPU.
</li>

Concurrency vs Multi-threading vs Asynchronous Programming
2022-06-29T00:00:00+00:00

Concurrency && Parallelism</li>
Threads (multi-threaded) && Processes</li>
Synchronous && Asynchronous</li>
</ul>
Concurrency && Parallelism</h3>
Concurrency:
Imagine a task where you have to "sing and eat":

Sing for a time</li>
Eat for a time</li>
</ol>
This task is performed concurrently. Concurrency is executing tasks at the same time but not necessarily simultaneously.
Concurrency is handled differently in various processors. In a single core, concurrency is handled via a process called context-switching.
Parallelism:
Given a task of cooking and speaking to a friend over the phone, these two tasks can be done simultaneously.

"Parallelism means performing two or more tasks simultaneously. Parallel computing in computer science refers to the process of performing multiple calculations simultaneously."
</blockquote>
Concurrency and parallelism refer to computer architectures focused on how tasks or computations are performed:

In a single core, concurrency happens with tasks executing over the same time period via context switching, i.e. only one task gets executed.</li>
In a multi-core environment, concurrency can be achieved via parallelism, in which multiple tasks are executed simultaneously.</li>
</ul>
Threads & Processes</h2>
Threads: These are sequences of executing code that can be executed independently of one another. A program can be single-threaded or multi-threaded. It's the smallest unit of a task that can be executed by an OS.
Processes: A program is an instance of a running program. A program can have multiple processes. A process usually starts with a single thread but down the line of execution, it can create multiple threads.
Sync and Async
Tasks are executed one after the other, e.g. giving a task to write a letter to your mom and a letter to your friend.
Async: When one task gets executed, you could switch to a different task without waiting for the previous one to get completed.

Sync and Async are programming models.</li>
</ul>
Synchronous and Asynchronous in a Single and Multi-threaded Environment</h3>
Synchronous:

Single-threaded: Each task gets executed one after another. Each task waits for its previous task to get executed.</li>
Multi-threaded: Tasks get executed in different threads but wait for any other executing tasks on any other thread.</li>
</ul>
Asynchronous:

Single-threaded: Tasks start executing without waiting for a different task to finish. At a given time, a single task gets executed.</li>
Multi-threaded: Tasks get executed in different threads without waiting for any tasks and independently finish off their executions.</li>
</ul>
Concurrency and Parallelism:

The way tasks are executed.</li>
</ul>
Synchronous and Asynchronous ->

Programming models.</li>
</ul>
Single-threaded and Multi-threaded ->

The environment of task execution.</li>
</ul>
Async helps to achieve concurrency. Async in a multithread environment is a way to achieve parallelism.
Synchronously: This is how we code normally:

"You wait for an operation to finish before going to the next or moving over to the other one."

Multi-threading
2022-06-29T00:00:00+00:00
Multithreading:
Multithreading means having multiple threads of execution within the same application. Each thread is like a separate CPU executing different parts of the code simultaneously.
Reasons for using multithreading:

Better utilization of a single CPU.</li>
Better utilization of multiple CPUs or CPU cores.</li>
Improved user experience in terms of responsiveness.</li>
Enhanced fairness in handling tasks.</li>
</ul>
Multitasking && Multithreading
multiprocessing</a>:
Multiple processors/CPUs executing concurrently.
Multitasking:
Multiple processes running concurrently on a single CPU. The OS handles this process by switching between tasks.

language features</h3>
Concurrency and Parallelism
Parallelism: Performing multiple operations at the same time. This is hardware-related and takes advantage of the multi-core infrastructure of the CPU.
Concurrency: When two tasks can start, run, and complete in overlapping time periods. It takes advantage of CPU time slicing.
Concurrency is achieved through multithreading. Multithreading is a software implementation allowing different threads to be executed concurrently. A multithreaded program appears to be doing several things at the same time even when it's running on a single-core machine.
Synchronous: Tasks are performed one at a time, and you need to wait for one task to finish before moving to the next.
Asynchronous: Can move to another task before the previous one finishes. This is not related to concurrency and parallelism and means that your program performs non-blocking operations.
Async I/O: Async is a concurrent programming design, using async/await.
Threading: This is a concurrent execution model where multiple threads take turns to execute tasks.
Terminology:

Locking</li>
Mutex</li>
Thread Safety</li>

Moved site from jekyll to zola
2022-06-29T00:00:00+00:00
After transitioning from Jekyll to Zola, I have updated the website's styling by loosely adapting the Jekyll Minima</code> SCSS. Zola has proven to be an excellent choice as it seamlessly resolves many of the issues I faced with Jekyll. The fact that Zola is written in Rust</code> and utilizes the powerful Tera</a> template engine further enhances its appeal.
The current version of Zola that I am using is v0.15.3, and it has been performing admirably. For those interested in learning more about Zola and its capabilities, the repository can be found here: zola-repo</a>. Additionally, the documentation is available at zola-doc</a>.
With Zola, I feel confident in the future of my website, and I am excited about exploring its features and possibilities.

THE BELLY OF THE BEAST</h2>
	**WELCOME TO HELL**</code></pre>Principle Number One: There Is an Enemy</h2>
There is an enemy. There is an intelligent, active,
malign force working against us.
Step one is to recognize this.
This recognition alone is enormously powerful. It
saved my life, and it will save yours.
// i don't know where this is headed yet
principle Number Two: This Enemy is Implacable</h2>
Its aim is not to obstruct or to hamper or to
impede. Its aim is to kill.
</code></pre>principle number Three: This Enemy is Inside you</h2>
"peripheral opponents." : ~according to a former coach of the Laker pat riley
is fame and ego (not to mention crazed fans, the press, agents, sponsors and ex-wives) works against the players chances for on-court success.
"""
Resistance is not a peripheral opponent. It does not arise from rivals,
bosses, spouses, children, terrorists, lobbyists, or political adversaries.
"""
All this comes from us
Principle Number Four: The Enemy Is Inside You, But It Is Not You</h2>
""
What does that mean? It means you are not to
blame for the voices of Resistance you hear in your
head.
""
If you’ve got a head, you’ve got a voice of Resistance inside it.
Principle Number Five: The “Real You” Must Duel the “Resistance You”</h2>
You are the knight.
Resistance is the dragon.
Principle Number Six: Resistance Arises Second</h2>
The sixth principle of Resistance (and the key to overcoming it) is that
Resistance arises second.
"""
What comes first is the idea, the passion, the
dream of the work we are so excited to create that it
scares the hell out of us.
"""
Resistance is the response of the frightened, petty, small-time ego to the
brave, generous, magnificent impulse of the creative self.
It means that before the dragon of Resistance
reared its ugly head and breathed fire into our faces,
there existed within us a force so potent and life-
affirming that it summoned this beast into being,
perversely, to combat it.</code></pre>
Resistance is more like the pain-in-the-ass schoolteacher who won’t let us climb that tree in the playground
"""
Love for the material, love for the work, love for
our brothers and sisters to whom we will offer our
work as a gift.

In Greek, the word is eros. Life force. Dynamis, creative drive.

Principle Number Seven: The Opposite of Resistance Is Assistance
//stuffs that could cross your mind #resistance
"""
“You’re too young, you’re too inexperienced; you’ve got no credentials, no
credibility. Everyone who’s tried this has failed and you will, too. It can’t be
done. Your plane will crash, you’re going to drown, you’re a madman who
is attempting the impossible and you deserve whatever dire fate befalls
you!”

Neural insulator called myelin............???
Human Skills are created by chains of nerve fibers carrying a tiny electrical impulse.. myelin wraps those nerve fibers, making the signal stronger and faster preventing leakage.
When we fire our circuits the right way --when we practice playing that notes

Our myelin responds by wrapping layers of insulation around that neural circuit, each new layer adding a bit more skill and speed.

Mike Lazaridis.........??

we often slip into the mindsets of three dff professions:

Preachers - when our sarcred belefs are in jeopardy</li>
prosecutors - when we recognize flaws in other people's reasoning</li>
politicians - when we're seeking to win over an audience.</li>
</ul>
// not thinging about our own views...</h2>
Intelligence:</h2>

</ul>
the ability to rethink and unlearn
first-instinct fallacy.....??
we hesitate at the very idea of rethinking....</h2>
causes...::

cognitive laziness...</li>
questioning ourseles make the world unpredictable.</li>
it requires us to admit that the facts might have changed.</li>

A different pair of goggles</h2>
// rethinking is fundamental to scientist profession.

paid to constantly aware the limits of your understanding</li>
expected to doubt what you know, be curious about what you don’t know, and update your views based on new data.</li>
</ul>
// This is a way of thinking that differ from p^3
// sometimes even great scientist need to think more like scientists...
The smarter they are, the harder they fail...</h2>


Mental horsepower doesn’t guarantee mental dexterity.
</li>

the smarter you are the more you might struggle to update your beliefs.
Two bias that drives this pattern
- confirmation bias : seeing what you expect.
- desirability bias : seeing what we want..
{ giving reasons to preach, prosecute and winning people over.. P^3 }
 // and unaware of resulting flaws in our thinking...</code></pre></li>

Thinking like a scientist involves being actively open-minded.
// requires search for reasons why we might be wrong and not right...
</li>
</ul>

preacher mode -: changing minds is a mark of moral weakness.</li>
scientist mode -: a sign of intellectual integrity, a step towards truth.</li>
prosecutor mode -: allowing oneselve to be persuaded is admitting defeat.</li>
politician mode -:</li>
</ul>

purpose of learning is'nt to affirm our beliefs; it's to evolve our beliefs..</li>
</ul>
presidential greatness</h2>
what set great presidents apart was their intellectual curiosity and openness and how widely they read
Don't Stop unbelieving</h2>

rethinking starts with intellectual humillity - knowing what we don't know. & and should be able to make a long list of areas where we are ignorant.</li>
</ul>


as we question our current understanding we become curious about information we are missing.. this leads us to new discoveries. which in turn maintain our humility by reinforcing how much we still have to learn.</li>
</ul>


scientific thinking favors humilty over pride, doubt ovrer certainty, curiosity over closure.</li>
</ul>
//Thinking different != rethinking....
Things people say instead of rethinking...</h2>

that will never work</li>
that's not what my exprience has shown..</li>
that's too complicated let not over think it..</li>
that's the way we have always done it...</li>
</ul>
// research shows that when people are resistance to change, it helps to reinforce what will stay the same..
The curse of knowlegde is that it closes our mind to what we don't know.

What i know</h1>
When we lack the knowledge and skills to achieve excellence, we sometimes lack the knowledge and skills to judge excellence.


Advancing from novice to amateur can break the rethinking cycle. as we gain experince, we lose some of our humility.
</li>

confidence is a measure of how much you believe in yourself.
</li>

evidence shows that's distinct from how much you believe in your methods.
</li>
</ul>
// we become blinded by arrogance when we're utterly convinced of our strengths and our strategies.

Lost someone close recently
2020-11-06T00:00:00+00:00
He was more like a Grand father, Family friend... though i don't see/view things the same way.. Died at 78
This got me thinking about some sort of questions like. :

what will you be remember for..?</li>
what problems or wrong are you willing to change..?</li>
</ul>

“Remembering that i’ll be dead soon is the most important tool i’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important”

How thinking while walking helps in fixing bugs
2020-10-27T00:00:00+00:00
Having been experiencing writer’s block since the last time i wrote new resolution</a>, Recently i was asked why i preferred walking to driving or using the public transport, i was unable to give a straight answer to that, Though i had reasons i just don't know why it happens.
E.g:


Walking helped me fix more bugs than i could imagine..
</li>

I do most of my best thinking while walking alone*.
</li>

It helps me calm my nerves…
</li>
</ul>
Yet i was unable to put the whole piece together,the question fired up more unanswered questions, so i did some googling.
The Science behind it:</h1>

When we go for a walk, the heart pumps faster, circulating more blood and oxygen not just to the muscles but to all the organs—including the brain, Walking on a regular basis also promotes new connections between brain cells, staves off the usual withering of brain tissue that comes with age, increases the volume of the hippocampus (a brain region crucial for memory), and elevates levels of molecules that both stimulate the growth of new neurons and transmit messages between them.
</blockquote>


Benefit of walking :</h1>


Walking boost creativity.
</li>

Walking sparks connections between brain cells.
</li>

It strengthens your hippocampus.
</li>

Walking increases blood flow in your brain
</li>
</ul>

Two mind blowing articles i read today
2020-10-27T00:00:00+00:00
Articles on Startups and Success


How To Be Successful</a> 

</li>

Hard Startups</a>
</li>
</ul>


How to be successful :
Everyone has a different definition of success, irrespective of those beliefs we all do have a specific goal in mind that is to be successful.
Meaning we do all have to put in the hard work, sleepless night and also working smart.
Sam altman actually explained, so I won't go into full details you can always read the articles.
Self belief:
Not believing in yourself makes the whole process even harder</a>, this made me remember one of steve job's quote..

"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the one who do."
</blockquote>


Learning to think independently:
There is always a solution to every problem, success is actually 99% failure and 1% success, one thing i learn to do is treat every failed attempt as an experiment or a learning process...


Focus:

This is one of the quality i currently lack, According to Steve Jobs,

“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done."
</blockquote>


Others i consider important</h1>

becoming hard to compete with</li>
be bold</li>
be internally driven</li>
Taking risks</li>
be good at sales</li>
build a network</li>
You get rich by owning things</li>
</ul>
Hard startups</h1>
Everyone has a different perspective to this, I like the writer's perspective and also belief startup founders should have a long-term commitment. This made me curious what should startup in developing countries focus on...?


Knowledge worker
2020-10-25T00:00:00+00:00
Glancing through the book Deep work</a>, the term "knowledge workers" caught my attention, this is something i do without actually knowing what kind of work it is classified as.
Did some research on knowledge worker</a>
According to that article, knowledge workers are said to think for a living, unlike manual labourers who are paid for performing a physical tasks, and according to wiki knowledge workers are workers whose main capital is knowledge.
Which got me thinking about the types of workers actually available........??


Back to the article:</h2>
"knowledge worker" was first coined by peter drucker in
his book "The Land of Tomorrow"... the knowledge worker are differentiated by their ability to solve complex problems or to develop new products or services in their fields of expertise.. "which his a clear definition of an actual computer programmer's job"
knowledge workers can be programmers, architects, engineers, marketers, design thinkers, public accountants, lawyers, and academics, and essentially any other white-collar worker who uses judgement and critical thinking in their role.
Important facts :</h2>

To stay relevant learning process is continuous</li>
They spend 38% of their time searching for information

A quick introduction to tmux(0)
2020-04-30T00:00:00+00:00


Prerequisite:

Have a basic understanding of the linux command line</a></li>
Install tmux</li>
</ul>
Goal:

Learn what tmux is</li>
Get a quick feel of tmux</li>
</ul>
Tmux</a>...?</h3>
If you are anything like me then you probably have about >= 5</code> terminal windows open on your computer when working, And you have a hard time navigating through those terminal (windows) and keeping track of them.
tmux</a> is a terminal multiplexer that helps creates and keep track of termianls from a single screen and does alot more than that, it makes multitasking much easier.
Using Tmux:</h3>
For now, the major focus is to get acquainted with tmux as qucikly as possible before understanding the way it works.

Open your terminal and type tmux</code> if available should open a default window like the pics below.</li>
</ul>



Press ctrl + b</code> and key at the same time and then release it and then shift + "</code></li>
</ul>
This split the screen into two top and bottom, the splitted screens are called pane.



To navigate between the splitted screen ctrl + b</code> which open the prefix then o</code> key</li>
</ul>
keywords in tmux</h3>

window</li>
pane</li>
sessions</li>
server</li>
client</li>

The Linux Command line interface(0)
2020-04-25T00:00:00+00:00

I spend 90% of my time in the Terminal emulator (not really sure about that tho), for me it offer's great flexibility and control than the GUI, and it can be really intimidating at first but it worth your time.
Prerequisites: unix or unix-like operating system.
Goals:

Learn what a command line is and how to use it</li>
Learn common useful commands and what they mean</li>
</ul>
What a command line interface</a>?</h3>
when talking about the command line we are actually refering to The Shell. The shell is a program that takes in Commands or #keywords and passes them to the operating system to carry out. it's a way of interacting with the computer os, similiar to the GUI but faster and more powerful. The program which handles this commands in the terminal emulator is the Command-line interpreter (shell).
Shell Scripting:</h3>
As earlier said a Unix shell or shell is a command-line interpreter but also a programming language, the programming language features allows us to combine commands or (utilities) together in a file and run them as a scripts, and yea you can also call it a Script language for now the major focus is getting you to understand the command line and having the feels of it without getting intimidated.. will write more on Shell script on Using The Linux Command Line(1) or probably the next.
Running the Termainal emulator:</h3>
Computer terminal</a>:


Before delving into what the Terminal emulator actually is, it's important to know where it all started decades ago. Computers had no GUI for accessing or modifying data; the computer terminal was the only means of entering, displaying, and printing data. These terminals were physical computing devices like IBM 3270, VT100, and many others. For more details, check out computer terminal >> wiki</a>.
What's a Terminal emulator:
The Terminal emulator is a software designed to replicate the functions of a computer terminal. It is a GUI application needed to access the Unix shell environment, providing an interface to invoke commands, scripts, and programs available on your system. It also allows you to view and browse through the contents of directories, just like you would with a FILE MANAGER APPLICATION.
Every Linux distro comes with a default terminal emulator. For instance, Ubuntu and Fedora come with Gnome terminal emulator, and other Linux distros have their own defaults. The first thing you see in the terminal emulator is the "command prompt," which shows $, %, #, or >, indicating the current working directory, the current user, and the readiness of the shell to accept commands from you.
The default shell for most Unix or Unix-like systems is the bash shell</a>. Other shells include sh, zsh, csh, and more. To find out the available shells on your system, use the command:
cat /etc/shells</code></pre>Display content in your file directory</h3>
The ls</code> command is used to print out the current directory on the terminal emulator screen, giving the same result as the File Manager.


To find out what a command means through the command line, type:
whatis ls</code></pre>
You can also make use of the system's manual pager for the full documentation:
man ls</code></pre>
To print your current working directory, use the command pwd</code>.

The pwd</code> is a built-in command within the bash shell itself. Type help</code> to find out more about built-in commands.
Time for Experiments</h3>
Here are some common commands:
Command</th> Meaning</th></tr></thead>

ls</code></td> List files and directories in the current directory.</td></tr>
cd</code></td> Change the current working directory.</td></tr>
pwd</code></td> Print the current working directory.</td></tr>
mkdir</code></td> Create a new directory (folder).</td></tr>
rmdir</code></td> Remove a directory (folder).</td></tr>
cp</code></td> Copy files or directories.</td></tr>
mv</code></td> Move or rename files or directories.</td></tr>
rm</code></td> Remove (delete) files or directories.</td></tr>
cat</code></td> Concatenate and display file content.</td></tr>
more</code></td> Display file content one screen at a time.</td></tr>
less</code></td> Display file content with backward navigation.</td></tr>
head</code></td> Display the beginning lines of a file.</td></tr>
tail</code></td> Display the ending lines of a file.</td></tr>
grep</code></td> Search for a pattern in files.</td></tr>
find</code></td> Search for files and directories.</td></tr>
chmod</code></td> Change file permissions.</td></tr>
chown</code></td> Change file ownership.</td></tr>
ps</code></td> Display information about running processes.</td></tr>
kill</code></td> Terminate processes.</td></tr>
ssh</code></td> Secure Shell - remote login to a server.</td></tr>
wget</code></td> Download files from the web.</td></tr>
tar</code></td> Archive files using tar.</td></tr>
zip</code></td> Package and compress files.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, but it includes some commonly used commands and their primary meanings. Additionally, the meaning of some commands may vary based on their options and arguments. Always refer to the manual (man</code> command) for a comprehensive understanding of each command.

Technological Innovation in developing countries
2020-04-14T00:00:00+00:00
Note: These are based on my views on factors affecting the rate of innovation in developing countries. I might be wrong, but at the same time, I might be right.
Writing this article feels a little weird for me; it seems like something I should not write about, but I also have the feeling that I should do it anyway. Keeping this as short as possible, I won't be able to cover all areas.
People in developing countries seem to believe that the governing entities are solely responsible for bringing about technological innovation (this is done indirectly), which is something I strongly disagree with. I guess I am not expressing this in the right way; coming from a tech background, there is a lot I don't fully understand about politics. It's not an excuse, but rather than complaining, that energy should be directed towards something else.
Secondly, the mindset (culture) and beliefs of the people are really mind-blowing. I love this quote: "You are what you believe in."</cite> It's really funny how, at the age of 20-25 in most cases, you are still considered incapable of making decisions that could cause a serious change in society, down to individual families, and this becomes a loop.
It makes me wonder what the adults spend their youthful age doing in their 20's....??? This makes me want to give examples of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg...
To a point, you can't entirely blame society for this; many youths spend their time in the most unproductive ways you could ever think of, involving themselves in internet fraud and other criminal activities, etc.
There is a lot at play here:

Lack of knowledge, even in a major field (poor education background, mostly outdated curriculum).</li>
Lack of infrastructure, etc.</li>
</ol>
Technological innovation can be brought about by innovative individuals (Tech Visionaries) who:
x. See things differently.

x. Have a serious, intense passion for what they do.

x. Are ready to take action no matter the odds.

x. Are tired of doing things the old way (with low outcomes).

x. Are highly curious (question everything) and have the ability to connect the dots.

Don't get me wrong, one person can't actually change the world; you are going to work together with intelligent humans and people who think alike to actually make a mark.


New resolution
2020-03-01T00:00:00+00:00
my new resolution (covid-19)</h2>
To be honest right now i feel down because i am unable to do anything meaningful to help during critical moment, makes me feel stupid but i have a very strong feeling this is the last time this is going to happen to me.
Don't get me wrong staying at home actually helps but to me it does not, should be able to help by working together with health professional or providing finical asistance... Still can't shake that feeling of my head that there is still alot i have to do and am not fully commited to it..
My resolution is to write one article once a week or probably everyday if possible, this is going to be really hard for me but i feel optimistic about it.

	I know am currently the world worst writer and i hope this changes soon</li>

Indentation in Python
2020-01-17T00:00:00+00:00
what is indentation:</h2>
According to wikipedia - indentation</a> indent is an empty space at the beginning of a line to signal the start of a new paragraph.

In Python indentation refers to the (spaces and tabs) that are used at the beginning of a statement, it is a way of telling the interpreter this part of the code belongs to the same group,in programming language like c, c++, java, kotlin.. curly braces {} are use to indicate the start and end of a block of code..
indentation in java
public class indentation{ 
	public static void main(String[] args)
		{ // shows this is the body of the main method
		
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		out.println("input a valid password")
		String user_input = input.next();

		if (user_input.equals("evad")){ // if statement body 
			out.println("logged in \n");
		} 
		else{
			out.println("incorrect password\n");
		}
	} //end of the main method
} //end of the of the porgramm </code></pre>
Question: what's the whole point of indentation ?

Answer: glance through the example below and tell me what you think about it.

The coherence theory states that a proposition is true if and only if that proposition coheres with the other propositions that one believes. . . . The problem with the coherence theory is that a belief could be consistent with my other beliefs and yet the whole lot could be false. —Colin McGinn (2015a, p. 148) According to the coherence theory of truth (see Young 2018), a set of propositions (or beliefs, or sentences) is true iff:they are mutually consistent, and 2.they are supported by, or consistent with, all available evidence; that is, they “cohere” with each other and with all evidence. Note that observation statements (that is, descriptions of what we observe in the world around us) are among the claims that must be mutually consistent, so this is
not (necessarily) a “pie-in-the-sky” theory that doesn’t have to relate to the way things
really are. It just says that we don’t have to have independent access to “reality” in
order to determine truth.
2.4.3Correspondence vs. Coherence Which theory is correct? Well, for one thing, there are more than two theories: There
are several versions of each kind of theory, and there are other theories of truth that
don’t fall under either category. The most important of the other theories is the “prag-
matic” theory of truth (see Glanzberg 2016, §3; Misak and Talisse 2019). Here is one
version: [T]he pragmatic theory of truth . . . is that a proposition is true if and only
[if] it is useful [that is, “pragmatic”, or practical] to believe that proposi-
tion. (McGinn, 2015a, p. 148, my interpolated brackets)
Another version states that a belief, proposition, or sentence is true iff it continues to
be accepted at the limit of inquiry:
Truth is that to which a belief would tend were it to tend indefinitely to a fixed
belief. (Edwin Martin, Jr., paraphrasing C.S. Peirce; lectures on the theory of
knowledge,Spring 1973; for more on Peirce, see §2.6.1.3,below.)46

</blockquote>
Indentation in python is very important because with out proper indenting you will end up seeing IndentationError: examples as seen below
if True:
print("yea true")
else:
print("not true")</code></pre>
In python when defining statement for functions and loops you do this using four white spaces or a single tab according to python indentation rules
def print_statement():
 print("indented under print_statement")
 print("same")
 print("same")

a = 0;
b = 10
while(a <= 10):
 print_statement()
 a = a + 1</code></pre>

	helps to properly structure the code</li>
	makes the code beautiful (human readable)</li>
