Not a computing book this week

This week I have read the Roadcraft the police drivers handbook, I had read the previous edition and the update has a few good common sense approaches. I did like the idea of constant improvement through reflection and asking questions about performance to gain insight. 

A couple of the take aways apart from reminding me of bad habits I need to correct. 

• It is pull push, I always push pulled. It is smoother to steer their way.
• Do not wrap your thumbs around the steering wheel, due to possibility of hitting potholes high kerbs and breaking a thumb. I did this as I was always told if you wrapped your thumbs around the steering wheel you could lose them if the airbag deployed.

I liked Knuth's presentation,2014 Kailath Lecture: Stanford Professor Donald Knuth. 

Old half broken blog from hacker news, found the article interesting. The Bipolar Lisp Programmer.

Visual studio short cut, you can repeatedly press ctrl +  v and cycle through visual studio clipboard. Handy working on other machines where a clipboard manager such as ditto is not installed.
