Download or read book The Problems With All the Good Things written by Jens Oliver Meiert and published by Jens Oliver Meiert. This book was released on 2023-07-11 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here are two observations that you’ve likely made in your life: One, you’ve noticed how easy it is to find fault. If you haven’t found fault yourself, then you know others who find this wrong and that wrong and that other thing wrong as well. Two, you’ve learned about things generally deemed desirable and good, things not connected with fault, whether these are states of being or possessions or activities. Now, if you put the first observation to the test (looking for fault), would the second still hold (that there are things without fault)? Would there be nothing to complain about; would there be nothing wrong with all those things desirable and good? This question is what this little book is exploring, by interviewing OpenAI’s ChatGPT about the problems, with many good things.

Download or read book The Little Book of Little Books written by Jens Oliver Meiert and published by np. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Little Book of Little Books consists of three booklets, originally released in 2015 and 2016. They have been lightly updated and edited (with permission and release by the former publisher, O’Reilly). The Little Book of HTML/CSS Frameworks provides guidance for the development and use of web frameworks. It was written during a time when frameworks were used by linking to their style sheets. While times have changed, it’s the author’s conviction that the principles outlined in the book still hold, and that it provides unique views to the advantage of everyone working with frameworks. The Little Book of HTML/CSS Coding Guidelines outlines the benefits of coding standards and discusses them on the basis of the Google HTML/CSS Style Guide. It was written during a time when there was little tooling to format code automatically. Back in 2012, the author had revised and published the Google guidelines; many years later, he maintains that the modern frontend developer and their craft still benefit from such standards. The Little Book of Website Quality Control reviews quality assurance and control and offers a comprehensive collection of tools. It was written during a time when there were few automated testing options, with a focus on web-based manual testing. The author believes this has been one of his weakest books, ponders why he didn’t do better, but likes the idea that, over time, he can make updates that make it a little less shallow. → This is the book if you want to travel back in time for a complementary perspective on frameworks, coding guidelines, quality control—and the craft of web development.

This book was released on with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underdog Thinking is real-life business adventure story that follows the journey of an Indian Immigrant to the U.S. who was told he “didn’t know a damn thing about American business.” But as opportunity would have it, a short time later he found himself an accidental entrepreneur with a front row ticket to the ins and outs of launching and growing a business. He was flying high on his growing success—until a fateful moment when everything changed. As businesses rise and fall to the tune of supply and demand, sometimes the harshest betrayals come out of nowhere, when you least expect it—as do the surprising sparks of hope. When an unforeseen circumstance initiates a chain of events that leave him at a crossroads he must make the tough call: to give in and give up, or push through and win. CEO, business ethics thought leader, speaker and author Atul Vir has lived that story. And even in the darkest moments when failure seemed most imminent, he drew on the work ethic instilled from his earliest days, and his commitment to do right by his customers—to bring his dream up from the ashes and back to life. In his new book, Underdog Thinking, Vir inspires readers to face any challenge that comes their way—with practical business lessons for every step of the journey gleaned from his experience as both an immigrant building a business and as CEO of Equator Appliances for more than 25 years. The book dives into current themes dominating the business landscape, including: global business, overcoming failure, bootstrapping, securing financing, immigration and what innovation truly means. While many people offer sage advice on these topics, Vir’s lessons are paired with a unique, captivating story and more than two decades of entrepreneurial expertise in an industry dominated by much bigger players—major multinational corporations.

Download or read book The Part Time Adventurer written by Colby Farrow and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-07 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second Edition released August 2021 Through a collection of first hand experiences by the author, The Part-Time Adventurer is an entertaining and informative ensemble of wilderness stories. Whether dodging alligators in the swamp, rappelling through slot canyons in Utah, or hiking through Appalachia, the reader is immersed in adventure. Iconic hikes including "The Subway", "Syncline Loop", "The Narrows", and "Hanging Lake" are just a few of the many treks described. Detailed accounts of many National Park hikes, including those in Zion and Canyonlands National Park, provide planning tips and ideas for those seeking a more off-the-beaten-path adventure than that of an ordinary traveler. The need to adjust for an unplanned event dominates many adventures in the book, and many lessons learned are shared through detailed accounts of both failure and success. Many of the basic skills needed to complete overnight wilderness trips are also shared, such as packing, planning, and safety tips. Excerpt #1 We enjoyed a hot, fresh, and delicious dinner in the middle of nowhere that night. It is not often that I am as content as I was then; sitting in the middle of a swamp with a group of friends, miles away from civilization, frying fresh frog legs and fish filets, learning new wilderness skills, and having added to my knowledge of kayak camping in the swamp. Thankfully, my pessimistic opinion about catching food for dinner was proven wrong. That evening my mind wondered about what the right way is to plan for, execute, and safely enjoy a wilderness trip: if I plan on catching or hunting for my meal on the next trip rather than packing food, but end up getting skunked, the results of that failure would be uncomfortable, yet I'd probably still survive. If the end goal is to survive while fully experiencing the wilderness, with the now proven prospect of enjoying an amazing meal sourced in the wild, then why not take the chance? I thought again of why I go on these trips: To experience nature and solitude, and to be presented with the challenges of being away from the everyday things that make us comfortable, the things that people take for granted and think are guaranteed. By not packing food and challenging myself to source food from the land, wouldn't this achieve my desire? Ultimately, I still pack enough food to get through a trip comfortably, but will at least prepare for and try to source fresh food from the land. Excerpt #2 I suddenly heard Josh let out a yell in front of me. When I looked up, he was holding his foot off the ground, and he displayed a look of pain and discomfort in his face. I asked if he hit a rock with his leg or foot, hoping he had just a minor injury. But he quickly said "no" and indicated it was his ankle, putting my mind into gear about how we'd get him out of the canyon if his ankle was broken. I told him to sit down, but he refused and said he was fine; it was obvious he was in pain. We all knew our location was the worst possible place on the hike to become immobilized; we could not go back the way we came, and we still had another rappelling and swimming section ahead of us. If he could not walk it off and keep moving under his own power, it may result in us waiting until the next day for help. This was the exact situation I was afraid of and had tried to prepare for. The next few minutes were tense. Chris and I didn't say much, but we were already going through options and plans in our head. Should one of us go ahead alone? Should we wait and hope for another group to pass by? Should we activate the distress beacon to get help?
