NOTICE: Arc now supports Windows 10 officially. This guide is no longer necessary.

As this is not an official way of installing Arc, if you encounter any issues do NOT report them to the developers, they did not intend for people to be running Arc on Windows 10.

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Rich Hickey on becoming a better developer

Rich Hickey • 3 years ago

Sorry, I have to disagree with the entire premise here.

A wide variety of experiences might lead to well-roundedness, but not to greatness, nor even goodness. By constantly switching from one thing to another you are always reaching above your comfort zone, yes, but doing so by resetting your skill and knowledge level to zero.

Mastery comes from a combination of at least several of the following:

	// 3D Dom viewer, copy-paste this into your console to visualise the DOM as a stack of solid blocks.
	// You can also minify and save it as a bookmarklet (https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/what-are-bookmarklets/)
	(() => {
	const SHOW_SIDES = false; // color sides of DOM nodes?
	const COLOR_SURFACE = true; // color tops of DOM nodes?
	const COLOR_RANDOM = false; // randomise color?
	const COLOR_HUE = 190; // hue in HSL (https://hslpicker.com)
	const MAX_ROTATION = 180; // set to 360 to rotate all the way round
	const THICKNESS = 20; // thickness of layers
	const DISTANCE = 10000; // ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

	#!/usr/bin/env python3

	# Keygen for McDonald's eCDP(eCrew Development Program),
	# a Nintendo DS software to train employees.
	# This keygen is for the only dumped Japanese version of eCDP.
	# ROM: https://archive.org/details/mcdonalds-japan-ecdp-rom-training-nintendo-ds-cartridge-dump

	# Usage: Select the third option in main menu, enter two 6-digit numbers as you like,
	# and use this script to calculate the third code.
