For what it's worth, here is my carefully crafted ~/.tmux.conf file. I was used to screen, so I carried most of the keybindings along when I switched to tmux.
Graham's number is big, sure. But in a similar duel[1] between two MIT professors, they settled on this number: “The smallest number bigger than any number that can be named by an expression in the language of first order set-theory with less than a googol (10^100) symbols.” Try and beat that! :)
Per my comment above, Busy Beaver will pass that pretty quickly too, as again, a Busy Beaver contestant will rather early on simulate that entire problem (and BB has ready access to numbers like a mere googol). As large as that number is, I'd guess it's probably under BB(30), and certainly under BB(100) as I'd bet even a mere human could write a 100-state TM to simply simulate that answer.
Why? Perhaps I misunderstand something, but why can't I define a turing machine and the upper bound, and then BB with first order set theory. It is therefore my misunderstanding, that this gives me a lower bound of
BB( googol -n),
whith n the number of symbols I need to define BB.
The second interpretation of that quote is that beginners can also see/find things that experts would miss. Not surprisingly, that quote is from Suzuki's book "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind"[1]. I view both interpretations as valid.
And beautifully, both interpretations are applicable to Steve. His early success with Apple could be attributed to a beginner's mind. Later, his ability to come back and rescue the company could only be the work of an expert.
Not long enough! I can't speak for anyone else, but you've eloquently described the main reason why I found Steve Jobs so inspiring. If you've read The Talent Code, I am definitely reminded of the chapters on Ignition, where the author Daniel Coyle writes about the conditions under which people are inspired and motivated.
Oooooooh! I get it now. According to this death-clock, my larger than small but smaller than medium company that is making very good money is a lifestyle company, like 37signals is. Actually, that's true! But do me a favor, don't tell anyone that. Please don't tell my hard-working and talented employees, for whom I am very grateful. Please don't tell my friends and siblings or my vendors. Let's just keep this between you and I. Thanks!
