I don't have a source right now but I think people have written about it since the ancient Romans!

I think it happens to pretty much everyone, we as society just don't talk about sexuality or depression enough to put the two together.

So, a few things here that I've discovered in my own fight against this kind of lethargy & depression.

1. Eat food. Eat good, healthy food on a regular schedule. The willpower center of your brain takes a LOT of calories to run, and if you don't fuel it, you'll find yourself paralyzed by laziness. Make sure the calories you ingest are solid ones - protien, fat, sugar. Not HFCS or other forms of fructose, since it messes with your insulin and makes you feel full even when you aren't.

2) If you are male, check your orgasm and pron consumption. For myself, if I've orgasmed in the last three days, I get a kind of empty, grey fuzz feeling that feels a lot like depression. As someone who's fought mild depression, one of the best ways for me has been to regulate my sexuality and orgasm only when I know I don't need to do anything the next day. Track your energy and your sex drive, and see if there's a correlation - I bet the results will speak for themselves.

3) Sleep on a schedule. Caffeine doesn't count. It's painful and it takes willpower and it sucks but that's life. I solved this one by getting married to a woman who keeps a very strict sleep schedule (ymmv :P )

4) Organize your time. Follow pomodoro or a one hour on-one hour off time. If you find yourself "half-working" (sitting at your computer pretending to work but really browsing HN and Reddit). Get up. Go outside. Walking and standing are good for your health and your creativity.

5) Find a friend or partner who energizes you. Someone who you can hang out with and have crazy ideas and good conversation. If you don't have someone like this, start by making acquaintances at a local club or meetup.

6) Rest. Understand that recuperating your strength for a day isn't going to wreck your chances at becoming the next great startup CEO. It's okay to give yourself a break, before you break.

Hope this helps :)

I have one and I'm quite happy with it. The screen is almost too large to use but I'd still give it 4.5/5.

The best thing about it is the fact that it comes with no bloatware. My S3 had 2 or 3 bloatware apps that would crash on startup every single time.

Page loaded really slowly for me (and I'm not on a slow connection!). Got bored after a few seconds and left.

I've wanted to get back into drawing web comics for a while. I also love DMing (Leading D&D games) so I decided to combine the two into a crowdsourced adventure comic with Reddit-style voting.

http://omnomzom.com It's a LAM(PHP) stack on DigitalOcean, nothing fancy. I specifically kept it simple so that I could get it out the door. Even though the tech behind it isn't anything amazing or useful I'm having a lot of fun drawing comics and seeing what people come up with!

The site (and my drawing skills) are still very in beta - only 21 users so far, mostly my friends & family.

Nice, Tinder for Food.

Hi Finbarr - looks awesome, but the "find out when" link for Android is broken for me (Chrome 37 on OSX)

+1. The carousel switched faster than I could read all the text.

This comment makes no sense once you have the plugin installed, and that's wonderful.

I hate doing this to a new, exciting brand launch, but... it really looks like a pair of underwear (briefs) to me.

Fascinating all the way through. If you get put off by the author's talk on religion, please consider just skipping that section and continuing the rest of the article - there's plenty of food for thought that doesn't concern the bible at the next section header.

Cool game, but I was able to camp inside the launch tube and shoot down people as they joined - very annoying to everyone else since I was hidden by the launch tube art. Maybe disable the ability to go back inside the launch tube once you're on the field?

+1 for github's desktop app. Very very easy to use, and only requires a basic understanding of git. Might still want to have a git expert on call, though.

"Yeah, I'm really bummed out I didn't get into dogecoin 186 years ago"

Is there a way to buy doge for cash yet?

Thanks! Yeah, I'm doing some friends' for free to beef up my examples and feedback section. But I'm also full-time employed so I'm not super invested in this taking off.

I'm already doing the "Rock Your CV" as a side business! Maybe time to step it up? http://handprintresumes.com. Would love some feedback from HN on prices, design, etc.

Happy new year to you as well :)

I think this misses the point of the article. The author says something like "even though you're successful you feel like you're not" (on my phone so sorry for paraphrasing). I think the idea of rhe article is that if you're already making it, act as if you're making it. It's not like Conan doesn't put in hours and hours of hard work offstage to make his show happen. Acting "as if" is just a way to psychologically get himself in tune with his success and project an air of confidence.

My biggest issue with this article is the use of "her" in the question, "when should I have sex with an employee?". Can people who are interested in men not run businesses? That's not even subtly sexist.

See previous comments - the tuition assistance is from outside companies like Etsy. The school itself doesn't charge tuition anyway.

Primed by the revelations about the NSA recently, I'm not as hesitant to believe this as I normally would be. Conspiracy theories like this are always easy to laugh at until there's enough proof to tip you off that there's actually something happening. Right now it's just a few whistleblowers, but every story has to start somewhere.

I would say that I am not a believer in a massive conspiracy to control the world's money, except that really, I hope there is. I really hope that a lot of the world's problems are caused by a cartel of a few bad suits. That way when the dust settles, either the world is a better place, or we at least know who led us to this place.

A few things in the article (Oh just go read it, it's not that long) that need some discussion:

> "there are even plans in place to impose martial law in the United States, she said."

Really? That I'm going to need some proof on.

> "The World Bank whistleblower also said that contrary to official claims, she did not believe there was any gold being held in Fort Knox. "

That's Oceans Eleven level stuff. I can just imagine the guards patrolling around empty rooms that they think are full of gold. I'm interested to see the truth level of this statement, but that's a bit too outlandish for now.

I'm glad whistleblowers are stepping forward. In the train stations, there's a motto plastered on every wall - "If you see something, say something". We just need to make sure that runs both ways.

I'm just curious what the user's incentive for using upboat is?

Edit: I mean, I'm not a startup owner, but I visited the site and couldn't figure out why I would want to do this, rather than just wait until the product actually comes out.

Is this totally confirmed? This seems hoax-y to me right now.

I share the same concerns - what about the batteries and other products that aren't as expensive as the routers?

This majorly fails the two-second test (both submitted links do). I spent about ten seconds on each site, couldn't figure out what the heck Kippt was, and left. I still have no idea what the service offered is.

I've been describing it as a "writer's workshop for coders".
