Нима учун дарахтнинг мияси йўқ? Бу саволга ирланд нейробиологи Шейн Омара чунки у ҳаракатланмайди деб жавоб беради. Денгизда умуртқасиз асцидия деган кичик жонзот бор. У жой излаб бир тошга бориб ёпишади ва бутун умр ўша ерда қолади. У тошга ёпишиши билан қиладиган биринчи иши ўз миясини еб тугатади. Шунингдек, туғилганда ҳаракатсиз полип шаклида бўладиган, вақт ўтиб ҳаракатланадиган медузалар бор. Бу медузаларда ҳаракатни бошлагандан сўнг мия шаклланади. Бундан хулоса шунақа: Агар сиз ҳаракат қилмасангиз, сизга миянинг кераги йўқ.
Мия табиатан ҳаракатланиш яъни қидириш, мўлжал олиш, масофани ўлчаш, хавфсизликни ўйлаш, йўлни эслаб қолиш учун яратилган органдир.
Шейн Омаранинг «Юрувчи одам» китобини ўқиб чиқдим. Китоб асосан пиёда юришнинг инсон миясига, айниқса ижодкорлик ва фикрлашга фойдасига бағишланган бўлсада, бошқа бир ажойиб хулоса олдим. Инсон фаол бўлиши, доим ҳаракатда бўлиши керак. Шунда мия ҳаракатдан ўзи учун керакли озиқ олади.
Фаолликда ва масъулиятни ўзига олиб ҳаракатчанлик кўрсатишда гап кўп. Шу ҳақида яқиндагина Жон Г. Миллернинг «CОC! Савол ортидаги савол» китобини ҳам таржима қилдиргандик. Хуллас, ҳар қанақа ҳолатда ҳам комфорт зонасидан чиқиб ақлан ҳам жисмонан ҳам ҳаракатланиш, психология тили билан айтганда “проактив бўлиш» мия фаолияти ва ҳаёт сифати учун жуда муҳим.
Ҳаракатдан тўхтаманг. Бизга мия ҳаракатсизлик учун берилмаган.

O'ylab qarasam, oxirgi marta mazza qilib zerikkanimga ham ancha bo'libdi.
O'zi oxirgi vaqtlarda zerikishga ham vaqt yo'q.
Zerikishning eng yaxsh tarafi shundaki, zerikkanda miya hech qanday chegaralarsiz, erkin fikrlay boshlaydi.
Demak, zerikkanda miyaga yaxshi g'oyalar keladi.
Hozir bir ish uchun g'oya kelmay turganda shu haqida o'ylab qoldim.

After a busy week, there is nothing better than listening to energetic music.
Let me introduce Marcin, a talented guitarist from Poland. He, as a guitarist, is in completely another level that ordinary musicians cannot reach. This is what makes talent different from hardwork.
When he plays, guitar is not just an instrument for him. He feels the guitar as a part of his body, like hand or heart.
As once Simon said, he demonstrated us what actually guitar invented for.
A question: So, is he number one guitarist in the world?
My answer is no. He isn't number one. He is the god of guitars(not guitarists). At least, IMHO.
Watch and enjoy his performance🎧. Leave a comment below😉

Googleni to'g'ri ishlatish haqida
Dasturchilar uchun Google eng kerakli instrumentlarning ichida TOPda turadi. Lekin ko'pchilik undan notog'ri foydalanadi yoki uning kuchini 100% ishlata olmaydi.
Bu post orqali buni to'g'irlashga urinib ko'raman.
1. Qo'shtirnoq ("") belgisi sizning qidiruv so'rovingiz shunday ko'rinishda aniq ichida bo'lgan natijalarni beradi. Masalan, "Jakhongir Rakhmonov" deb qidirsangiz, qaytarilgan natijalarning hammasida "Jakhongir Rakhmonov" degan so'z bo'ladi. Alohida "Jakhongir" yoki alohida "Rakhmonov" yoki bularning o'rtasida boshqa so'zlar bor (masalan "Jakhongir Alisher o'g'li Rakhmonov") degan natijalar chiqmaydi.
2. Minus (-) belgisi sizga shu belgidan keyingi so'z yo'q bo'lgan qidiruv natijalarini topishga imkon beradi. Masalan siz Obama bo'lmagan Baracklar haqida malumot topmoqchi bo'lsangiz "Barack -Obama" deb yozishingiz mumkin. Shundan natijalarda Barack so'zi bo'lgan lekin Obama so'zi bo'lmagan natijalar qaytadi.
3. Tilda (~) belgisi sizga sinonimlarni qidirshga yordam beradi. Masalan siz Googlega python ~lessons deb yozsangiz natijalarda lessonsdan tashqari yana courses, tutorials, coachinga o'xshagan natijalar ham bo'lishi mumkin.
4. Vertikal chiziq (|) belgisi "yoki" vazifasini bajaradi. Yani siz Python | Java deb Googleda qidirsangiz, sizga yo Python yoki Java so'zlari bo'lgan natijalar qaytariladi.
5. Ikki nuqta (..) belgisi sizga ikki raqam orasida qidirishga imkoniyat beradi. Masalan siz Python books 1990..2020 deb qidirsangiz, sizga shu yillar orasida yozilgan Python kitoblarni qaytarishga harakat qiladi. Yani bundan kitoblarga 2010chi yilda, 1995chi yilda yoki 2013chi yildan yozilgan kitoblar ham kiradi.
6. Site so'zi sizga qidiruv so'rovingizni aynan bitta websaytdan qidirishga yordam beradi. Masalan siz dictionaries site:realpython.com deb Googleda yozsangiz, faqat realpython.com saytidagi to'g'ri kelgan natijalar qaytadi.
7. Location so'zi huddi site so'zi kabi qaysidir manzildan qidirshga imkoniyat beradi. Masalan hurricane location:malaysia deb qidirsangiz, sizga Malayziyada bo'lgan bo'ronlar haqidagi yangiliklar qaytariladi.
8. Filetype so'zi faqat berilgan fayl turkumlarini qidiradi. Masalan learning python filetype:pdf deb qidirsangiz, PDF formatidagi natijalarni qaytaradi. Kitob qidirshda qulay ancha 😉🏴☠️
Bonus
Google bazida qiziq qiziq (lekin juda keraksiz) bo'lgan funksiyalar (Easter Egg deyiladi) qo'shib qo'yadi saytga. Masalan:
1. Do a barrel roll deb qidirsangiz ekraningiz...aytmayman. Yaxshizi o'zingiz sinab ko'ring 🙃
2. Askew deb yozib ko'ring 🙃
3. Recursion deb yozib ko'ring. Buni faqat dasturchilar tushinadi 🙃
4. Anagram deb yozib ko'ring 🙃
5. Ross Friends yoki Joe Friends yoki Monika Friends deb yozsangiz Friends serialadi qidirilayotgan qahramonga tegishli bo'lgan rasm chiqadi. Rossda masalan divan rasmi chiqadi. "Pivot! Pivot! Pivot!" Esingizdami? 🙃
6. Pacman deb yozsangiz shu o'yinni o'ynasa bo'ladi.
Yana bunday "easter egg"lar ko'p. Bazilari aktualligi qolmagandan so'ng o'chirilib tashlanadi.

We generally assume that the world is becoming a better place every year. But when it comes to individual freedoms, the opposite is true. Most studies show humanity is now less free than several years ago.
20 years ago we had decentralized Internet and a relatively unrestricted banking system. Today, Apple and Google censor information and apps on our phones while Visa and Mastercard limit what goods and services we can pay for. Every year we give up more power and control over our lives to a handful of unaccountable corporate executives we didn't elect.
Most of us willingly carry tracking devices – our phones – and allow corporations to use our private data to target us with content that keeps us distracted with low-quality entertainment. Unlike 20 years ago, we are now surrounded by surveillance cameras, which in countries like China use AI to make sure nobody can hide.
In 2017, China overtook the US as the largest economy in the world by purchasing power, showing the world that individual freedoms are not required for economic development. Looking at China's success, more countries become authoritarian, curbing essential human rights such as freedom of speech, movement and assembly.
Who is going to fix it?
The most active and creative minds of our generation are too busy playing in the rapidly shrinking sandbox called "free enterprise" or producing digital content to keep everyone else glued to their devices for longer. The rest seem to be too distracted with the abundance of cheap digital entertainment to critically assess the trend and take action.
Watching this, I wonder what will become the legacy of our generation. Will we go down in history as those who let free societies turn into dystopian nightmares? Or will we be remembered as those who defended the freedoms that previous generations fought so hard to win?

The mind is our most powerful tool. There's nothing it can't do. According to numerous studies, it actively generates new ideas even when we rest or do nothing. Often we can come up with solutions to difficult problems simply after a full night's sleep.
Just as our physical state depends on what we feed to our bodies, our mental state depends on the quality of information we feed to our brain. If we nourish our brain with real-life data that allows it to solve fundamental problems, it will process this data in the background and come up with unexpected solutions.
It is unfortunate that most people prefer to feed their minds not with real-life facts that can let us change the world, but with random Netflix series or TikTok videos. On a deep level, our brain can't tell fiction from reality, so the abundance of digital entertainment keeps our subconscious mind busy producing solutions to problems that do not exist.
To be creative and productive, we must first clear from our minds the sticky mud of irrelevant content with which “recommendation algorithms” flood it on a daily basis. If we are to reclaim our creative freedom, we must first take back control of our minds.

Trying despite disbelief
I am very good at finding reasons why something will NOT work out, and pessimistically hyper-focusing on them. In my past they were enough to immediately give up on an idea. One thing that my wife taught me is what I call trying despite disbelief.
I think the first time it happened was ~9y ago. The company I worked for made me a H1B work visa and offered $56k/year salary. I took the deal without negotiations and moved to the US. When my wife, girlfriend at the time, heard that my salary is just $56k, she was like "WTF, they low-balled you, go and ask for 20% more". I laughed because nobody gets 20% raises, but she convinced me to TRY. I went to my boss and asked for 20% raise with zero belief that I will get it. The funny thing is, when I try I appear like I know what I am doing, smiling and such, and what do you know, to my surprise I got ~15% increase.
Another time I left my backpack with a laptop in a coffee shop. I called them up and they said they don't see one. Past me would give up, because I got a pretty strong signal that it isn't there. By that time I already had a few experiences where trying helped, so I simply drove there and there it was, on the floor. I don't know how they couldn't notice it.
There were many other examples. Some still required encouragements by my wife and others, like trying for L7, and asking for more money. Another example is me accepting the L7 high-risk high-reward offer -- I'll do my best and hopefully survive. Even publishing this post is an example -- the reason not to post it is that this is possibly bullshit.
---
I am not saying that it will help everyone, but it might certainly help those competent but not confident. Quoting Wikipedia "The Dunning–Kruger effect is a hypothetical cognitive bias stating that people with low ability at a task overestimate their own ability, and that people with high ability at a task underestimate their own ability" (I encourage to read the rest of article). If you believe you belong to the second group, or sometimes you find yourself thinking "if even he/she did it, then I should be able too!", then it might help. Or if you are a woman, because the ever-present patriarchy makes you feel small.
A part of this is accepting a possibility of failure. In fact, I usually go with low expectations and just do my best. If you fail, that's OK. It isn't the end of the world.
Another thing is, you might luck out. An interviewer might not ask you topics that you are weak at (I am weak at parsers). In my Google interview I wasn't prepared for system design. I failed one; the other was quite algorithmic (=easier) and the interviewer was from Android (not working distributed systems themselves), so I got lucky. You cannot get lucky if don't even try 😉.
Like I said, I tend to hyper-focus on reasons why something will NOT work out, in a pessimistic way. While it is discouraging, it also guides me to work on the weakest parts. If you think about chances of success as a confidence interval, then working on the weakest parts maximizes the lower bound. You can see an example of this in my obsessive preparation for the behavioral interview which I never did before and which isn't very technical. This attitude also poses the question "What am I missing?" and you can see an example of this in researching my Microsoft interviewers and discovering new topics to learn. Thinking how a system might fail (failure modes, unhappy cases) is one difference between L4 and L5.
Overall I can say that this simple technique made a big difference in my life. The first step is the hardest.

Another example is me accepting the L7 high-risk high-reward offer -- I'll do my best and hopefully survive. Even publishing this post is an example -- the reason not to post it is that this is possibly bullshit.

I am not saying that it will help everyone, but it might certainly help those competent but not confident. Quoting Wikipedia "The Dunning–Kruger effect is a hypothetical cognitive bias stating that people with low ability at a task overestimate their own ability, and that people with high ability at a task underestimate their own ability" (I encourage to read the rest of article). If you believe you belong to the second group, or sometimes you find yourself thinking "if even he/she did it, then I should be able too!", then it might help. Or if you are a woman, because the ever-present patriarchy makes you feel small.
A part of this is accepting a possibility of failure. In fact, I usually go with low expectations and just do my best. If you fail, that's OK. It isn't the end of the world.
Another thing is, you might luck out. An interviewer might not ask you topics that you are weak at (I am weak at parsers). In my Google interview I wasn't prepared for system design. I failed one; the other was quite algorithmic (=easier) and the interviewer was from Android (not working distributed systems themselves), so I got lucky. You cannot get lucky if don't even try 😉.
Like I said, I tend to hyper-focus on reasons why something will NOT work out, in a pessimistic way. While it is discouraging, it also guides me to work on the weakest parts. If you think about chances of success as a confidence interval, then working on the weakest parts maximizes the lower bound. You can see an example of this in my obsessive preparation for the behavioral interview which I never did before and which isn't very technical. This attitude also poses the question "What am I missing?" and you can see an example of this in researching my Microsoft interviewers and discovering new topics to learn. Thinking how a system might fail (failure modes, unhappy cases) is one difference between L4 and L5.
Overall I can say that this simple technique made a big difference in my life. The first step is the hardest.
