Working on some articles, I found something mind-blowing. Documents by Trygve Reenskaug - the creator of MVC (Model-View-Controller) from 1979 at Xerox PARC!
Embarrassing to admit I didn't know this man. BTW original name of MVC was THING-MODEL-VIEW-EDITOR 🤯

This paper shows that empirical economics research often lacks credibility because of low statistical power and publication bias. About 80% of reported effects are overstated, typically by a factor of two, and sometimes by four or more.

May 21st - World Meditation Day 🤗
Remember.
Meditation has been commercialized and has little in common with what it's actually meant to serve. It's just one of many exercises supporting the process of building mindfulness.

As part of my holiday cleanup, I've started moving some of my articles from Medium to Jekyll. Processes, teamwork, estimates, psychology. That was the plan already last year.

Forgive me, today I'm feeling a bit nostalgic - perhaps it's this spring, which has burst so intensely outside the window this week.

Yesterday, this video popped up on my feed - a short 2min video (understandably, since humanity has a chronic problem with maintaining attention) version of a legendary talk by the one and only Uncle Bob. I still remember the original lectures...

Weekend vibes!!! Lately, I've been experimenting a lot with consciously moving from focused attention meditation to open monitoring meditation - it’s fascinating what happens with our minds, with our emotions and perception.

Will America awaken as Poland did in the 1980s? Are Western societies - accustomed to comfortable, secure lives - capable of the courage and uprising I witnessed as a young person in Poland? It’s an intriguing question.

What’s happening in the world is not encouraging. Has 🇺🇸 become the Wild West again? Everything points to that. Hordes from the East and the Wild West.
What future awaits us? I’m still shocked at how easily people can be bought and deceived, how readily they allow themselves to be led.

It was a busy weekend. I released an update for my small application. In addition to Walking Meditation, I added Breathing Meditation and two sample breathing exercises: box breathing and the 4-7-8 technique.
