If I ever end up using Windows on a personal machine, I'll follow this guide

I like the idea, but my laziness makes me avoid any non-automatic methods. I’d prefer a format similar to Mycomarkup or Markdown, but with built-in support for embedding images and other binary content, turning a web article into a single file. I’m aware of data: images in Markdown, but they’re not very convenient to use.

Manages binary files downloaded from different sources

Being prolific forces you to take notice. Taking notice develops your taste.

So true

It’s probably leaching chemicals into your cooking oil.
Replacing a black plastic spatula with a steel or silicone option is an easy way to cut down on at least part of one’s daily dose of hormone disruptors

The best components are those that provide powerful functionality yet have simple interface.

Do not add layers of abstractions for the sake of an architecture. Add them whenever you need an extension point that is justified for practical reasons.

A - The task requirements and goals might not be clear enough. If you are trying to get yourself to “plan for a project” or “write a book” then it’s hard to identify the next actionable items. Put some time aside to figure out what physical things you can do to move the project forward. Try break down the larger tasks into the smallest pieces possible. The goal of the project might need identifying, or the requirements fleshed out from a supervisor.

B - The task might exceed your current competency. Sometimes we know what we have to do, but don’t know how to do it, and then we become avoidant rather than admitting this. In this case, it’s worth figuring out what you do know how to do and what you don’t know how to do, and be honest with that. Then slowly ask for help or read up on the things you don’t know.

C - The tasks might really not be worth it. Sometimes you are assigned tasks that don’t actually help you achieve your long-term goals, and so your brain demotivate you from doing them. Maybe the payoff is low, maybe you don’t learn anything new from them, or maybe a colleague you don’t like will gain credit for the tasks, or maybe you just wont be rewarded or appreciated for getting the tasks done.

Хитрым и условно бесплатным методом мы ускорили флоу каждого запроса на 150+ мкс. Формально — это малозаметная цифра, однако она является чистейшей CPU-нагрузкой, и на каждые 10000 запросов экономит 1,5 секунды процессорного времени, что для компьютера является десятью вечностями. Мелочь, а приятно.

Немного советов, как это использовать
1. Some coding...
2. Увидеть запрос в БД на 10 секунд и понять, что это всё было зря.
3. Плакать.

Using a single init.lua or vimrc configuration file for (Neo)Vim file is better than a multi folder/file layout approach.
