transistor count on integrated circuits doubles roughly every 16 months

note: can this continue indefinitely? you should consider quantum computing.

given infinite time, any possible event will occur.

the statement is really about things going wrong --- _anything that can go wrong, will go wrong_

note: we do *not* have /infinite/ time anyways -- the sun /will/ explode

we remember unfinished or interrupted tasks better than completed ones, because they keep a tension that keeps them in active memory.

journalling can help offload this tension.

when smart people think they did poorly, and when dumb people think they did well.

dumb people don't know what they don't know, whilst smart people are critical of their own work

the amount of work that you have will fill to the time you allocate to it.
