For me, I've become absolutely sick of these types of self-help articles. But once in a while, I'll read one in the hope that it'll actually teach me something new and make me re-consider how I viewed something. Usually that doesn't happen. The ones that do are pretty technical, a recent example is the 'What does code readability mean?' article hanging around on the HN front page right now.

I just finished a re-factoring project recently. This article really made me re-think everything I did.

Unrelated but just had my first mouseless programming session today using Vim. Needless to say, it's something else entirely. I can't believe I only discovered it so recently when I've used the computer my whole life.

Anything, really. Just hang out around here for a while and you'll see something you like.

Wouldn't this be first monopoly breakup in the software industry if the decision does come through? If so then a historic moment just happened here.

Seeing the security implications, I can't imagine these BCIs NOT running open-source software.

Even increasing it to 5 people wouldn't solve the problem. The Nobel prize could be awarded at the institution level rather than invidually but I'm sure there'll be objections to that as well.

I've always thought Nobel prizes are awarded based on the winners' works in that particular year so this came as huge surprise.

Too late for Hawking indeed, he could've very well been one of the winners today.

When I heard about this, I seriously thought we just only discovered Sagittarius A* this year and that I must have fucked up my memories. Thanks for the clarification!

Now that's an answer. Thanks for the detailed reply!

I thought we already knew there was a supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way for a while now? What specifically did Genzel and Ghez do to expand on that knowledge? I'm curious to know.

How exactly does this differ from the DF Tube (Distraction Free for YouTube) extension?

Do you have any nuggets of wisdom on coordinating large projects entirely online? Me and my friend still struggles to make significant progress all too often as life stuff comes in once in a while which leads to months-long pauses.

I do mostly programming. I've spent too much time obsessing over the tools I use (thanks the endless Linux distro-hopping for that). Nowadays, I've decided to keep it as simple and as boring as possible.

I use Todoist, track my time with Toggl, journal and write notes in Joplin. That's it. No magical methods here. It just works for me and it doesn't distract. I'm not going into the tool-hopping rabbit hole again just because some YouTube productivity guru said their niche todo app was better than what I was using.

I still remember how 2 years ago I dumped Todoist for Wunderlist, then switched to Swipe, then Habitica, then quit to-do apps all together for pen-and-paper time-blocking just for me to return to Todoist recently; dumped Evernote for OneNote, briefly switched to Notion but came back to Evernote anyways before finally finding my home in Joplin a year ago. Don't even mention my Linux phase.

I'd love to see a FOSS alternative to Todoist. I don't use their sync features so it's not a pain to switch.

This looks more caused by Chrome's dominance on the market and webdevs' reluctance to test their sites on anything other than Chrome, than by Firefox's own shortcomings. Give up Firefox and you'll see literally every major browser on the market be a proprietary Chromium derivative.

What are the potential use cases for this OS? I'm curious to see where Managarm may go in the future.

Suprisingly readable. Loved it.

I do remote gamedev with an artist friend. This type of conversation really only happens during long calls. Usually I'd call to discuss a problem and when that's done, we usually stick around some more to chat about random stuff, bounce jokes around until we somehow stumble upon cool ideas.

I think what makes it work is that since we just finished straining our brains to solve a problem, the relaxed post-discussion time helps refresh the brain and allows for fresh ideas to subconsciously come in.

Wearing nice clothes, working in a place with people so I can't just drop dead asleep on my desk, and a nice drink always result in great deep work.

lol, and I was just getting nervous this article felt too one-sided.

Thought it was definitely going to be Linux. Ended up being something even more interesting. Good read.

"...his unlawful financial gains must be relinquished to the government," This cracks me up for some reason, lol.

We'd be dropping a lot more companies if we vehemently followed the logic here.
