$PATH in MacOSX 10.7

MacOSX has a truly global path setting that precedes any other setting like ~/.bash_profile. The file /private/etc/paths is a list of pathnames. The order from top to bottom defines the resulting order in the $PATH variable. After loading /private/etc/paths there is a directory /private/etc/paths.d/ with files in the same style. Those are appended to the $PATH variable.

The default content of /private/etc/paths looks like this:

/usr/bin

/bin

This is a canon of the things I love. Things that I come back to, things that have really touch me. Doing this exercise I have realized how little things do I come back to... Still, there are some tabs I have opened always on my browser.

The first one is related to github and how they work. It's a presentation and a series of 3 blog post about how they work. It is really inspiring and I have read it a couple of times in the last 2 weeks:

The second one is a presentation Sebastian Hermida shared with me a while ago. I have watched the whole of it just once, but I've watch some parts 2 or 3 times already. It is a talk by Bret Victor about inventing, fighting, feedback... well, a lot of things, but it is really good:

##Google Interview Questions: Product Marketing Manager

Why do you want to join Google? -- Because I want to create tools for others to learn, for free. I didn't have a lot of money when growing up so I didn't get access to the same books, computers and resources that others had which caused money, I want to help ensure that others can learn on the same playing field regardless of their families wealth status or location.
What do you know about Google’s product and technology? -- A lot actually, I am a beta tester for numerous products, I use most of the Google tools such as: Search, Gmaill, Drive, Reader, Calendar, G+, YouTube, Web Master Tools, Keyword tools, Analytics etc.
If you are Product Manager for Google’s Adwords, how do you plan to market this?
What would you say during an AdWords or AdSense product seminar?
Who are Google’s competitors, and how does Google compete with them? -- Google competes on numerous fields: --- Search: Baidu, Bing, Duck Duck Go
