连续更新了十年 Youtube 之后,Tom Scott 决定停止更新了。这十年间,他每周都会制作一期节目,雷打不动。

参考 Tom Scott 的十年目标,DPS 至少要更新2500期,现在还差1610期:)

去年有很多时候在考虑 DPS 的未来,是否还要坚持下去?

现在支撑我的无非两条:

  1. 三年多来,DPS 从来没有一天断更;
  2. 至少阅读 RSS 对我本身还有很大的帮助,做 DPS 无非就是举手之劳。

当然,我也希望能有更多的朋友读到 DPS。如果你觉得 DPS 对你有些许帮助,请不吝分享给身边的朋友。谢谢!

DPS 以往的分享中,有不少讨论了焦虑及应对方式。我们梳理了这些分享,希望对你有所帮助:

In my experience, the best books on dealing with anxiety and depression are the best because they are honest about the situation.
I get hundreds of emails every month from people who struggle primarily with anxiety and depression. Many of them are looking for a solution or a piece of wisdom or advice. Unfortunately, the only thing I’m qualified to send them is this new care bear emoji I got on my phone. And that’s probably not a long-term solution for them.
Why anxiety and depression together? Well, because they often occur together. In fact, they occur so often together that people will mistake one for the other.
Whereas CBT is focused on channeling pain and suffering into more productive interpretations and actions, ACT just says fuck it, bad feelings are bad feelings and they don’t necessarily have to mean anything at all, if we don’t let them.
There’s a fine line between reading a book to gain a new perspective on a problem and reading a book to simply avoid the problem by intellectualizing it.
But when it comes to our emotional and mental health, we often believe we can just think the problems away.
So, yes, these books are helpful—as a starting point. They will give you perspective on what your depression and anxiety really are and where they come from.

Tom Greene 认为焦虑其实实在浪费我们的时间:

  1. 根据一份康奈尔的调研,只有15%焦虑的坏事真正发生,而这其中的79%并不像人们焦虑的那样差。也就是说,总体而言,只有3% 的焦虑真正入人们想象的那么糟糕。

面对种种不确定,我们当然会焦虑,我们该如何应对这样的焦虑呢?

  1. 直面不确定,肯定他们的存在,肯定自己的情绪;
  2. 每天进步一点点,哪怕只是微小的改变,哪怕我们距离移民成功还有很长远的距离,只要我们进步一点点,我们就比前一天就好一点点,就离最终的梦想近一点点;
  3. 多肯定自己,相信自己的直觉,和过去的比较,不要和别人比较;
  4. 慢慢建立自己的秩序,建立自己的节奏,按照自己的规划往前走。
Exodus 2.11 - 如何面对真正的焦虑
请让我们用脚投票 最近一天之内经历了两次交通事故,两次带给我的感受完全不同: 1. 出城的时候,在高速遇见车祸,一辆卡车直接底朝天翻在路边。所有车道上的车都瞬间从每小时140公里减速到0。 2. 回城的时候,在同一条高速公路上碾到一块事故车的残留碎片,当时就一声巨响,但车胎还没爆。继续开了几分钟之后,我的右侧两个车胎都爆了。还好前后,以及右边的车道都没车,我慢慢减速变道停到右边路肩。 出城的那场车祸虽然不是发生我的车上,但是着实让我一身冷汗。尽管不是亲身经历事故,但我因为毫无选择而焦虑: 1. 因为当时我几乎没有选择,硬生生从140减到0,而且所有车道都是类似的情况,我也无法更换车道。 2. 如果我刹车不及时,我就会撞到前车,如果我刹车太猛,后车来不及减速,我又可能被追尾。 3. 停下来之后,大家一点点往前挪车,我也只好跟着挪,毫无选择。 4. 我也不知道什么时候能驶离事故现场,同时又有些内急。 回城的事故的的确确降临在我的头上,但我一点都不觉得危险,因为我始终有选择,而且有了一定的预期: 1. 碾过那块碎片之后,我当时就觉得车子有可能会出问题,但很庆幸没有立

Jack Raines 从以下四个角度指出,制定新年愿望并无益处:

  1. 如果一个改变对你来说足够重要,你不需要等到1月1日才开始。
  2. 许多新年愿望只不过是伪装成有效率的拖延。
  3. 把所有事情量化和日历化,会有将生活变成一系列习惯的风险。

Morgan Housel 对于主动学习和被动学习给出了完全不同的定义,并且分析了他们的利弊:

  1. 主动学习是指别人告诉你学什么,怎么学,就像在学校里的学习;
  2. 被动学习是指你允许自己的大脑自行游走,广泛地阅读,广泛地交流,广泛地学习,从中汲取知识。

  4. 给自己足够的时间和空间学习交流,这样我们的知识就不会永远停留在学校里了。

爱沙尼亚的开发者 Mihhail Lapushkin 在过去九年间,利用闲暇时间创建了一个极简笔记工具 -- Paper。他分享了自己的心得:

  1. 要想维持极简并不容易,要遏制加功能的渴望,要让付费用户觉得物有所值。当然也有不少喜欢极简的用户;
  2. 在开发中,他做出了不少不同寻常的选择:使用原生框架开发,不实用第三方依赖性等等。之所以这么做,是因为他想提供最好的用户体验,而且他觉得这些付出是值得的;[[Daily Productive Sharing 886 - 20230108]]
  3. 保持较慢的开发节奏,保持较少的功能,让他可以更专心地打磨已有的功能;
  4. 在软件中自建与用户沟通的渠道听起来费时费力,但这不仅让他可以更直接地和用户沟通,还让他的开发更有方向性。

Tom Scott 近期发布了他的告别视频 ,为他十年来坚持不断的更新画上了一个句号。他的 Simon Willison 专门写了文章来介绍 Tom 的历程:
