A quotation from Thomas Carlyle
Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian

"Contrary to concerns about recent tech industry layoffs and reduced corporate involvement in open source, Torvalds painted an optimistic picture.
“I feel like open source is doing very well,” he said. “People take open source for granted now in a way that they absolutely did not just two decades ago.”
Torvalds highlighted the democratizing effect of open source, particularly for newcomers to the tech industry. He noted that any new programmer can use open source as a way to enter the industry and make connections without necessarily having gone to the right schools or having the personal connections that are often needed in many other industries.
For those looking to start new open-source projects, Torvalds advised finding a niche that is both personally interesting and meaningful to others.
“In the tech industry, so much is about the hype. Everybody is following everybody else like lemmings off a cliff, trying to chase the next big thing, and I don’t think that’s a successful strategy,” Torvalds said. “I think you need to find something that isn’t what everybody else does and excel at that and be the first to do something slightly different.”"

Jazz Improvisation: The Joy of Influence
Jazz is a musical genre that has a rich history and a strong tradition of improvisation. Improvisation is the act of creating music spontaneously, often in the moment, and is an integral part of the jazz tradition. Jazz musicians often draw upon the musical traditions of their predecessors, incorporating elements of their style and techniques into their own playing.
The process of improvising in jazz involves the creation of new musical ideas and the incorporation of these ideas into the performance. This process can be influenced by a variety of factors, including the musician's personal experiences, their knowledge of music theory, and their understanding of the jazz tradition.
Listeners also play a role in the meaningfulness of jazz performance, as they bring their own experiences and understanding of the music to the listening experience. The interplay between performer and listener can contribute to the overall meaningfulness of the music for both parties.
In examining the improvisations of Joe Henderson, it is important to consider the influence of Charlie Parker and the ways in which Henderson quotes and transforms Parker's melody. By analyzing these elements, it is possible to gain a more profound understanding of the relationships between individual jazz musicians and their precursors, and the sources of meaningfulness in the process of playing and listening to jazz.
