Here! Always fun seeing Clear Lake mentioned on HN!

Here's the article from 1946: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1946/08/31/hiroshima

I recently read Atomic Habits and there was a great chapter in there about people with a strong ability to self discipline. It raised the question: are people who have a strong sense of self discipline, better about architecting their environment for success? The would lead to less distractions and more work towards their intended goal.

It's a great book, highly recommend.

James Clear's (the author) blog with a ton of great content: https://jamesclear.com/articles

I think the book you're talking about is Atomic Habits by James Clear. I just finished it this month and it's terrific. The story of Japanese Train Conductors stuck out to me as well. Clear also has a terrific blog, which is where many of the content for the book was pulled from.

I went to Clear Lake from 2001-2004. Lot's of friends with relations to NASA and supporting industries. Sad I can't remember the soccer ball being on display.

Any other Falcons out there remember seeing it?

Lately, I've been using https://playnoise.com/ with the following settings: Brown noise > More Options > Auto volume osc, slow, small.

If we don't hear back from you in 2 days, we'll send help!

At least some of that $10 went towards a good cause!

Which Samsung model do you have?

Wireshark is a fantastic tool. If you do any web development also be sure to check out Charles Proxy, it's like Wireshark for HTTP.

How are you liking Tools of Titans? Any good take-aways?

The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood

The 4-Hour Body - Tim Ferriss - Lot's of anecdotes from Ferriss' own experiments.

S. - by J.J. Abrams - Layers upon layers. Unlike anything I've read before and a true Abrams experience. Check it out if you haven't heard of it!

Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software - Charles Petzold - Fascinating PopSci book on the origins of Computers and Code. Each chapter seems to build on the knowledge you've built from previous chapters. Interesting read for the programmer/computer engineer and VERY approachable.

I've just recently become fascinated with Stoicism after reading the Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck!

I've since read through Meditations, Letters from a Stoic and The Art of Living, and am really enjoying The Daily Stoic every morning before work. r/stoicism is also great.

Do you have any other books/resources you recommend on the subject?

SkunkWorks was a fantastic read! The aviation history was great and I also really liked seeing how they accomplished so much with a small team.

I started Bullet Journaling this Monday, so far so good! I've already managed to knock out some tasks I've been sitting on for a few years, that I just never wanted to do. Feels good to have those off my chest. Love my habit tracker spread!

I recently started keeping a Bullet Journal, and one of the pages I have implemented is the Habit Grid. Sounds like an analog of the app you're using. I have about 20 things I'm interested in doing every day, so throughout the day I go and mark the ones I've done.

Google image search shows a lot of great examples.

You'll most likely find that you need them. Look at it as an opportunity to learn a new programming technique.

Creativity requires constraints. The constraints that surround the challenges we face force us to come up with creative solutions.

I'm a huge fan of nvalt. I recently discovered Quiver for Mac and love it even more.

Huge fan of nvAlt. I made a theme to make the markdown rendering closer to github and added some extra features.

I watched the end of this video and had to do a double take (watch?). Said out loud 'wat'!, came here and found out that I still have never had an original thought. Thanks!

I too was having paywall issues as well. Contacted customer support, and they said i didn't have the web access enabled for whatever reason. Enabled and problem solved. Might be worth contacting them.

I have both a tablet and a kindle paperwhite. I like using the tablet for technical references which are commonly in PDF format. For everything else I use the Paperwhite. The backlight is much easier on the eyes, especially when reading in bed.

Can you share more about the application you built? Genuinely curious about what kind of projects need this level of concurrency.

Super fun!

As more people started playing I could definitely feel the game lagging. I've also experience about 3 game freezes where I had to shut down the tab.

I've been using Workfrom to find great coffeeshops for the past year or so. My favorite features are the internet speed ratings and power availability! Super helpful!

Keep it up guys!

Could you tell us more about that management take-over?

Would love to hear more about the book you mentioned "Winning Through Intimidation". Just marked as to read on Goodreads. What'd you like about it?
