This is the story of Dewar and Kamerlingh Onnes race to liquify gases. The ultimate challenge was helium. Dewar gavce up after hydrogen as he found it difficult to get helium and had all along gone light on equipment whilst Onnes used a more industrial approach,. Onnes received the Nobel prize for doing this.
The unfortunate thing is that later superconductivity and superfluidity was found by Onnes. Had Dewar persisted he might have found superconductivity and got the prize anyway!
The ultimate acheivement detailed is the creation of an Bose Einstein condensate in 1995.
If you like science / physics this one is for you!
If you are vaguely competent and get some experience you become employed for life
Not all Linux programmers are idealists. Now days it is a for profit motivation.
her pay profile progressed very well. Started at 150,000 per year in 1999 and doubled after 10ish years.
Telecommuting seems to be the end of the evolutionary progression
She travels all over the world to visit other programmers.
She thinks San Diego has the best weather in the world. ( she obviously has not considered South America in that calculation )
What would Val do? If you will not get fired then why not do it ?
She knows developers who never leave the house
Hours are flexible
its not a 9-5 job. She does not know anyone who does not care. Hard to make it on 40 hours per week.
Side effect is you only end up dealing with positive motivated people
Open source is an enabling technology – good way to think about how and why a company would hire a person to help with open source from their point of view
You have to be able to admit you do not know something. ( duh!) Linuxchix
There are some famously rude people in the Linux community
Careful with email!
Some people get into open source by working on patches but much better to get a framework such as a job that gets you in contact with other people doing open source.
Should be able to fairly quickly get into a position where you can telecommute
Tire um pouco o peso Take a little the weight
Das minhas costas of my back
Falta pouco tempo lack little time
Prá eu ir embora For I to go leave
E eu nem sei se vou voltar… And I in the know if you going to return
Trilhe seu caminho Track your road
Faça suas apostas Make your bets
Mas não me deixe aqui But do not leave me here
Sozinha sem respostas Alone without replies
Que eu nem sei That I in the know
Onde encontrar… Where to find
Eu sou apenas I am only
Uma criança indefesa A child indefensible
Você parece You appear
Uma caixinha de surpresas To be a boxette of surprises
Se for assim meu bem If for thus to be my good ( honey good)
Adeus!… God
Não tô te pedindo prá ficar Not going to ask you to stay
E não vou te encher And not going to fill you
De promessas of promises
Eu te quero bem I want you well
Mas no amor eu tenho pressa… But in love I have press ( need / pressure )
Vá se acostumando Going to accustomate you
Com a minha ausência With my absence
Faça logo as pazes Make your peace soon
Com a sua consciência With your conscience
E veja se você errou… And see your erred
Trilhe seu caminho Track your road
Faça suas apostas Make your bets
Mas não me deixe aqui But not me leave here
Buscando as respostas Searching the responses
Que você nunca encontrou… That you never encountered
Eu sou apenas I am only
Uma criança indefesa A child indefensible
Você parece You appear
Uma caixinha de surpresas A boxette of surprises
Se for assim meu bem If were thus my good
Adeus!… God
Não tô te pedindo prá ficar Not going to ask you to stay
E não vou te encher and not going to fill you
De promessas of promises
Eu te quero bem I want you well
Mas no amor eu tenho pressa But in the love I am pressed
Eu sou apenas
Uma criança indefesa, ahan!
Você parece
Uma caixinha de surpresas
Se for assim meu bem
Adeus!…
Não tô te pedindo prá ficar
E não vou te encher
De promessas
Eu te quero bem
Mas no amor eu tenho pressa…(2x)
Eu te quero bem
Mas no amor eu tenho pressa…
Eu abro todas as janelas da casa
Eu deixo o sol iluminar o caminho
Eu deixo a lua fazer sombra na sala
E o vento bagunçar meu destino
Eu vejo o teu fantasma dentro do quarto
Acendo a luz pra que você vá embora
Te exorciso enquanto eu calço os sapatos
Vou sair e te tirar da memória
Eu não acredito em você hei hei hei no way no way
Eu não acredito em você hei hei hei no way no way
Eu perco o sono mas não perco o juízo
Eu me mudei pro andar mais alto do mundo
Eu posso ver toda cidade lá fora
Aqui dentro eu mudo sempre de assunto
Eu pendurei os quadros pela parede
Nada que lembre o teu sorriso absurdo
Mas quando eu vejo o teu olhar nos meus sonhos
Eu me encontro e me esqueço de tudo
Eu não acredito em você hei hei hei no way no way (4x)
