Intelligence and Wisdom

Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing you don’t put a tomato in a fruit salad. Charisma is convincing everyone that it’s a salsa.

Never forget, recursion occurs when a thing is defined in terms of itself.
YOU CAN HAVE ITERATION INSIDE OF A RECURSIVE FUNCTION.
Iteration and recursion aren’t mutually exclusive.

Not a doctor and this is not medical advice
Lol so I got a stye and a home remedy that I’ve been using is a tea bag.
You steep the tea bag for one minute and when it’s bearable, rest the teabag on the affected eye for 5-10 minutes. Preferably use black tea.

While working my way through The Pragmatic Programmer I came by a tip that really struck a chord with me.
Good design is easier to change than bad design.
Make things easier to change. Why is decoupling good? By isolating concerns, we make each easier to change. Why is the single responsibility principle good? A change in requirements is mirrored by a change in one module.

If you’ve created too large of a hole inside of your drywall and you want to reuse the same hole for perhaps a drywall anchor, using spackle as filling won’t be enough.
Use wood filler; this’ll give you the consistency and strength you need for loadbearing purposes in the drywall.

So lol when I was exporting an SVG from Affinity, I noticed that the svg size was around 3 mb. Reducing the art board size made the export size waaaay better.

Turns out we aren’t forced to be shackled to the Adobe suite 🤣. There’s similar software called Affinity that does pretty much what Adobe does (without the arm and leg payment).

TIL that vscode has region folding! It’s like this:

TIL that printer ink requires a vehicle (a resin like honey) and a pigment (a powder). There’s a lot that goes into this process and it is pretty damn cool.

TIL that there are credit card scams around like skimmers and shimmers that oftentimes show up at gas station pumps and other brick-and-mortar shops.
To avoid being a victim, do not pay at the pump if they require you to insert the card at the pump (these pumps can be tampered with whilst the inside card reader most likely will not be).
Pay with tap when you can
Also, don’t forget to check your transactions regularly and check out free credit reporting services like Borrowell.

TIL it’s better to apply for a limit increase on a line of credit (LOC) if there’s a legitimate reason that this increase is required. Regardless of the approval of the LOC increase, one’s credit score takes a hit so it makes sense to try and increase one’s odds of being approved.
Having a reason for a limit increase (like a home reno) is more likely to get approved than someone who just wants some more backup funds.

Whenever you’re talking about setting up a business or a new venture, it’s important to start with why. Start with why, then move to how, and then move to what… it might be worth reading this book:

I’ve always believed wholeheartedly in the following quote,
A fool will learn nothing from a wise man. But a wise man will learn much from a fool.
Yesterday evening, I was approached by a visibly homeless woman and amidst her musings about how Canada is a flawed nation where people are left to suffer as corporate greed consumes the very essence of the city and about how one doesn’t necessarily need a highschool education to be intelligent, she dropped a nugget of wisdom on me that I’ll carry with me for quite some time.
According to this woman, and I googled this after to make sure that it was in fact true, the people of Denmark actively assisted in helping Jewish Danes escape from Hitler by evacuating them to neutral Sweden.
By no means am I saying that this woman is a fool; please don’t misunderstand me. What I’m trying to hit home with this TIL is that wisdom can come from anywhere, whether it’s a college professor or a homeless woman who, and I can’t make this up, began urinating in her pants mid conversation… everyone has got something to offer.
