I recall reading a series of books long ago called "Hacker's Challenge" which was similar to this, and equally thrilling. Each volume was essentially a set of whodunits - or rather, howdunits - regarding some network compromise situation, with the solutions at the end of the book. The author of the linked post is right here that there's something thrilling about this "genre". Nice to see more people writing this stuff.
Open tabs are a major unsolved problem. Need a zero-effort-to-use improved bookmarking system that is able to do stuff like indexing and tabbing and reminding you to read it next week
I find that leaving things to read in open tabs and not acting upon them immediately is a good thing. Once I circle back to them I often find myself thinking 'why would I wanna read that? it's a complete waste of time, what was I thinking?' and close that tab. Kinda procrastinating on procrastination ;)
I use the "Tab Snooze" [1] chrome extension for this. Works very well. Snooze till the night, next day, weekend, next month all available with a click. They promptly reappear as scheduled.
Agreed. I find it more or less solvable by two things (for me anyway).
1. For longer commitments, I move it to a Tab Group extension (e.g., Tab Group for Chrome) and review every so often
2. If I feel I'm procrastinating I basically try to notice this and force myself to commit to reading the article/paper/what-have-you.
I find it usually takes less time than I had originally thought and _that_ helps me procrastinate less the next time. It works for me most of the time, but always find some tabs get pushed so far to the left they're never seen again.
I’ve recently become interested in switching from DevOps to DBA/DataOps and these two sites, plus a few classes on coursera have been amazing finds. I hope they help others who may come across these posts
