“I resolve to recognize that a complaint reveals more about the complainer than the complained-about. Authority is won not by rants but by experience and insight, which require practice and imagination. And maybe some programming.”

“Active threads consume system resources, especially memory. When there more runnable threads than available processors, threads sit idle.
