Mostly, I Write

Con Git (e Github) si possono fare veramente molte cose. Anche organizzare la propria vita, a quanto pare. Money quote: “The tada moment I was on the verge of collapse, navigating through some issues on a repository on Github when: tada! Suddenly everything was clear. I was already using an awesome software (Github) to manage my projects' code, issues and tasks that had to be done, why not adapt it to a new "project": My personal life! How I did it“ https://dev.to/und0ck3d/organizing-your-life-using-github-6an

La vita dei premi Nobel è spesso complicata, come del resto quella di qualsiasi altra persona. Ma sono maschi, non se ne parla più di tanto. Diventa rilevante se sei femmina e lo hai vinto per la prima volta nella storia due volte: Marie Curie da vedova si è fatta una storia con un uomo sposato. And so what? Saranno stati fatti loro? Money quote: “Curie travelled to Sweden against the advice of the committee and accepted her second Nobel Prize. Afterwards, she sat down to an eleven-course meal with the King of Sweden which went smoothly. She was the first person—man or woman—to win a Nobel Prize twice. Unfortunately, she paid for her work with her life. In 1934, she succumbed to leukemia, the result of prolonged exposure to ionizing radiation. Her work notes, even today, are still too radioactive to handle without proper protection.” http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2013/09/marie-curie-once-had-two-duels-fought-over-her-after-an-affair-with-a-married-man/

Perché poi, anche se da New York si sposta sotto le palme di Los Angeles, la storia di Hollywood è una storia di ebrei di vecchia e nuova immigrazione. Money quote: “The reality, though, was somewhat more nuanced and complex, for many of the studio heads were immigrants themselves, Eastern European shtetl Jews from the immediately prior generation who’d been looked down upon (as hugely inconvenient embarrassments) by their haute-bourgeois assimilated Jewish cousins in Vienna and Berlin and Munich and therefore hurried along to Amsterdam and Bremen and Hamburg and onward to New York as quickly as possible. Once in Hollywood, these fiercely ambitious eastern Jews set about fashioning and veritably inventing the American dream. The late arrival of those once supercilious western Jews set the stage for a certain degree of class-cultural revenge.” https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2019/01/11/salka-viertels-forgotten-account-of-old-hollywood/

Come rovinare l’hobby della fotografia a un povero appassionato Money quote: “A series of laboratory studies demonstrate that taking pictures (compared with not taking pictures) can decrease enjoyment of highly enjoyable experiences. This study suggests that, by constantly striving to document their experiences, consumers may unwittingly fail to enjoy those experiences to the fullest. These results have implications for how firms may best stage experiential offerings to enhance their customers’ experiences” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/mar.21194

Una cosa che mi colpì alle superiori fu quando lessi che la differenza tra un lavoro manuale -diciamo da operaio- e uno di concetto –un impiegato– sta nel fatto che l'operaio lascia i mezzi di produzione in fabbrica quando ha finito il turno, mentre l'impiegato li porta con sé nella propria testa. Michael Chabon li ha portati fino al al capezzale del proprio padre, mentre finiva di scrivere la sceneggiatura di Star Trek. Money quote: "I looked up from the screen of my iPad to my father, lying unconscious, amid tubes and wires, in his starship of a bed, in the irresolute darkness of an I.C.U. at 3 a.m. Ordinarily when my father lay on his back his abdomen rose up like the telescope dome of an observatory, but now there seemed to be nothing between the bed rails at all, just a blanket pulled as taut as a drum skin and then, on the pillow, my father's big, silver-maned head. Scarecrow, after the flying monkeys had finished with him. His head was tilted upward and his jaw hung slack. All the darkness in the room seemed to pool in his open mouth. Hey, Dad, I need a line, I said, breaking, if only in my head, the silence that reigned between us. I'm writing dialogue for Mr. Spock." https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/11/18/the-final-frontier

Posso solo dire che allora c’è speranza anche per noi, per me e per voi. Siamo dei magnifici disastri. Money quote: “But psychological research suggests that such fear can be overblown in people’s minds. Often, there’s a mismatch between how people perceive their vulnerabilities and how others interpret them. We tend to think showing vulnerability makes us seem weak, inadequate, and flawed—a mess. But when others see our vulnerability, they might perceive something quite different, something alluring. A recent set of studies calls this phenomenon “the beautiful mess effect.” It suggests that everyone should be less afraid of opening up—at least in certain cases” https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2019/01/beautiful-mess-vulnerability/579892/
