Appreciate these comments! My wife and I just started researching Montessori schools in our area (socal). Didn’t know about the AMS, will absolutely check that. And now we know we need a rubric to measure from Montessori to Monte-sort-of :)
> The problem is that I cope with pain and hurdles differently. When people stop to rest I usually push some more. When they seek a shelter from the rain I want to ride more. When they need to chat with someone I need to read a book. I am a hyperactive introvert with a strange set of interests. I am a little different and because of that it's much harder for me to make friends.
Shared suffering & growth is how you form the strongest bonds.
If you're biking w/ people and they stop to rest (or b/c of rain). Time to make a choice. You can keep going, or stop with them.
If you keep going, you'll grow, your legs will get stronger.
If you stop, they'll grow, their legs will get stronger. But you have to keep stopping to see it happen. In time they'll stop less often. You'll love watching them get stronger, and they'll love that you were there to witness their growth. You're sharing in their suffering, even if you're not winded or uncomfortable yourself.
Fast forward to the future, now you're struggling with something physically or emotionally, and one of them may stop to be by your side. They could've pushed past you but they want to be there for you. You were there for them.
What I actually meant is that people are usually not up for the challenge at all.
That being said I have found a few people that may be ready to walk with me. Since I am very grateful I am willing to wait for them and help them whenever they need it.
We're social creatures. When we work cooperatively with others we gain an enriched sense of accomplishment, even when know we could have done the work ourselves.
I have no background in any field that could help me understand the basics of this discussion. However your post makes me wonder if many internet discussions are victim to this same phenomenon.
Different levels of abstraction are presented to explain "why", they're understood differently by different people (due to varying expertise), which causes discussions to eventually spiral into what appears to be disagreement, but is actually different layers of detail. The layers may seem to be contradictory but are often related. Hence the term "arguing in circles".
> Maybe my job this weekend will be to write my own version of these documents but with a decent selection of programs, descriptions and example usages?
Maybe your job this weekend should be to get a little exercise before writing on the internet?
It's a nice little summary of cool tools. "Some are little-known, some are just too useful to miss, some are pure obscure".

Maybe you should learn some manners and stop posting wild assumptions about physique of your peers.

It's barely a summary. A summary requires some details about the points being raised; albeit a briefly phrased. That site was more akin to a bullet-pointed list.
The descriptions are lacklustre, the screenshots are useless for all bar the ncurses programs, and including "just too useful to miss" programs like vi and curl but with zero detail nor examples about how to use them is absolutely worthless. Anyone who's every used a Linux / UNIX command line -even briefly- would already know that vi and curl exists - what they might not know is how to use it. And that's where articles like this should focus if they're wanting to incorporate commonly known commands along with obscure ones. Otherwise you're trying to appeal to everyone yet failing to please anyone.
> With Durr you become aware of how your brain alters the length of a bus ride, how fast you finish a beer, how time flies by when you enjoy yourself, and drags along when you wait in line at the post office.
Let me propose the 20% case that'll feel like the 80% case. Having a beer with a friend and sharing laughter, and ...buzz.buzz.buzz... being reminded mid-laugh that you're having a beer with a friend sharing a laugh.
I enjoy the moments where my brain adjusts the volume of the world around me, I get lost in thought and time becomes my bitch.
