What does the noprocrast setting do?
What does the 'noprocrast' setting do in my HN profile? It gives me a yes or a no, which is a little confusing since it's a double negative. It would be nicer if it was just 'procrast' and then it was set to yes by default, but what does procrast mean in this context?

It's a way to help you prevent yourself from spending too much time on News.YC. If you turn it on you'll only be allowed to visit the site for maxvisit minutes at a time, with gaps of minaway minutes in between. The defaults are 20 and 180, which would let you view the site for 20 minutes at a time, and then not allow you back in for 3 hours. You can override noprocrast if you want, in which case your visit clock starts over at zero.
