Quotes About Application

If each man, on hearing a wise maxim, immediately looked to see how it properly applied to him, he would find that it was not so much a pithy saying as a whiplash applied to the habitual stupidity of his faculty of judgement.

I would like my books to be a kind of tool-box which others can rummage through to find a tool which they can use however they wish in their own area.

But if electrons can exist in parallel states hovering between existence and nonexistence, then why can't the universe? After all, at one point the universe was smaller than an electron. Once we introduce the possibility of applying the quantum principle to the universe, we are forced to consider parallel universes.

Blueprints were introduced in Chapter 7 as a way to define routes in the global scope after the creation of the application was moved into a factory function. The routes related to the user authentication system can be added to a auth blueprint. Using different blueprints for different sets of application functionality is a great way to keep the code neatly organized.

Many users do not understand the warning from the browser. For this reason, it is considered good practice for web applications to never leave a POST request as a last request sent by the browser. This practice can be achieved by responding to POST requests with a redirect instead of a normal response.

Meta skills define the how-to, not the what-to.

Beyond 60% utilization, the average response time doubles. By 80%, it has tripled. As disk I/O latency is often the bounding resource for an application, increasing the average latency by double or higher can have a significant negative effect on application performance. This is why disk utilization can become a problem well before it reaches 100%, as it is a queueing system where requests (typically) cannot be interrupted and must wait their turn.

However, if application A is opaque and application B provides a rich set of observability tools, it's very likely that application B will be the better choice in the long run.

The whole idea of a democratic application of skepticism is that everyone should have the essential tools to effectively and constructively evaluate claims to knowledge.

Nearly every scientist has experienced, in a moment of discovery or sudden understanding, a reverential astonishment. Science - pure science, science not for any practical application but for its own sake - is a deeply emotional matter for those who practise it, as well as for those nonscientists who every now and then dip in to see what's been discovered lately.

Equally, where the technological application of scientific discoveries is clear and obvious—as when a scientist works on nerve gases—he cannot properly claim that such applications are "none of his business," merely on the ground that it is the military forces, not scientists, who use the gases to disable or kill. This is even more obvious when the scientist deliberately offers help to governments, in exchange for funds.

Saber muito não lhe torna inteligente. A inteligência se traduz na forma que você recolhe, julga, maneja e, sobretudo, onde e como aplica esta informação.

Those who can think up feminism or structuralism; those who can't apply such insights to Moby Dick or The Cat in the Hat.

Just because knowledge exists, doesn't mean people know how to use it .

What was the point of education, he thought, if people went out afterward and used it?

If we study it is not to store up knowledge but to deepen our understanding. Our understanding, in turn, can only deepen as we put it into action.

If learning is not followed by reflecting and practicing, it is not true learning.

Many of us, both monastics and laypeople, learn about the Buddhadharma without anything changing in our life. Our personality remains exactly the same because we cannot digest and apply what we've learned. What we've learned doesn't help us and so we can't help anyone. Zen doesn't travel along a path of learning through writing and words; it relies on direct transmission between teacher and student.

Words and ideas are only useful if they are put into practice.

In the second turning, we "Encourage" ourselves to practice this path. This is realized by learning, reflecting, and practicing. As we learn, whether by reading, listening, or discussing, we need to be open so we can see ways to put what we learn into practice. If learning is not followed by reflecting and practicing, it is not true learning.

I figured I was going to apply to one journalism school and let fate take a hand.
