Is it really faster though? I’ve built PoC of something similar and a test game to check how much faster it was to use keyboard. To my surprise mouse was consistently faster ( by a lot).
It depends on the context and the system you’re working with. In some systems, an hour may last 3599, 3600 or 3601 seconds (due to the leap second), a minute may be 59,60 or 61 seconds. Even a second is not always a…
You seem to assume that a day always has 24 hours. Common (but not only) non-24h day lengths are: - 23 hours - 25 hours - 24 hours 1 second - 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds You could assume that a day isn't exactly 24…
You don’t need the other person to be in the same room - a video call works just fine. In fact, it can be even better for productivity since there's less chit-chat.
I work every day with people addicted to YouTube. A WorkMode client shared this approach; we tested it with a small group. Anecdotal but consistent - it works surprisingly well, cuts usage sharply, and seems to hold up…
Everything you wrote is true, but this is not how it works in practice. Usually, the person running the blog uses WordPress, and doesn't know about caching. They add a few plugins that significantly increase response…
User would have to enable caching in CF and the response from the server would have to be cacheable for CF for caching to kick in.
62.5ms for a non-cached request? In my experience that’s really fast response time for a blog even on a dedicated bare-metal server.
> Your comment could use a better tone, but I do agree that, especially with the difficulties that people are having finding a job these days, there has been elevated interest in ADHD and thus there are more attempts to…
I assume that scrolling through productivity feed of friends is less engaging than scrolling through social media content designed and tailored to you to spend as much time on it as possible. The app has other features…
I haven’t checked the app, I just saw screenshots. In my opinion the leaderboard is a bad idea, especially global one. It will be unachievable by vast majority of your users, and may lead to toxic behaviours such as…
No need to be snarky. If it helps someone be more productive then it’s a win, even if they spend 50% scrolling and 50% working. I haven’t checked the app, but the description says it uses social accountability, focus…
Delaying action is sometimes useful. Procrastination is never useful. The deliberate decision to postpone something because it's beneficial is very different from postponing something because we prefer to read HN.
> procrastination is healthy and stops premature projects from getting copied and ruined. I disagree. By definition, procrastination means delaying or avoiding actions you should be taking, which is inherently…
Putting me on the list by my full name was unexpected and unwelcome. I immediately wanted to delete the account. Not providing an option to delete the account was another unwelcome surprise. I added a goal but it…
Who do you consider to be your target audience? Who's your client?
No. Procrastinators will unconsiusly use these tasks as an excuse to pause work. Getting something to drink, looking for a music etc. removes these common excuses, so that the only thing left to do is work. Many…
I disagree. Both books suck for procrastinators/people with ADHD. Most of them won't finish reading these books. People should watch a 10/20-minute introduction to developing a habit on YouTube instead. These books are…
> From your experience, what tips or practices would you suggest to stay disciplined? Don’t ask others what helped them—it doesn’t matter. People procrastinate for very different reasons. It’s like asking what others…
Well, yeah. Companies store a lot of information in spreadsheets. CRM, financial info or really anything. People need to access it from their phones when the data is urgently needed.
Teenagers are allowed to take high interest loan? Where? I think in Poland it would be possible for every parent to refuse repay such a loan.
> I've seen too many bugs with PHP static typing for it to be worth it in mature systems. Can you elaborate? What kind of bugs? Can you give some examples? I'm scratching my head because I'm not sure if I ever…
No, nobody has ever complained about it (and yes, we did ask). When we first started, we were really concerned about it, so we tried to move as little as possible, avoid hand gestures, and so on. However, it turned out…
I do the same, but I think it's because we were taught to be polite and to conduct conversations in a certain way. Do you put effort into being polite when ChatGPT makes a mistake and you correct it? Do you try to…
Thank you! I hadn’t thought of it that way, but what you wrote makes total sense and explains the engagement issues we’re seeing with the calculator and the pricing section. > Again, please feel free to ignore this as…
