Make a prioritized list of things that need to be done with my time, and setting goals based on those lists.

I just start going down the list, and use the goals to measure whether my time is being used effectively. Also, don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good here. Make incremental improvements.
I don't see how anyone who understands what an analogy is would come to the conclusion that the GP is proposing that developers are killed. What's shocking is how ridiculous your comment is.
I've had the most conflict with team members who think "making things" is an end unto itself. Sometimes it is -- in your personal time, or if you're a researcher maybe, etc -- but in a business, making things is the means to an end. You need a methodology (scrum or something else) to keep the machine moving.

Ah, the trial-by-fire approach to streamlining your life.
I believe the assumption that to be really good at something you have to focus 100% on it is fundamentally flawed. It only applies to people with limited capabilities, I guess. I've seen people gaining proficiency in a fraction of time others needed. There are only so many hours in a day, true, but people work at different speeds.

>suppose we were starting from scratch

"What-ifs" are always an interesting game but practically we're veeeery far from starting from scratch with the economy. But okay, I'll play.

>user signs transactions that authorize transfers with specific recipients and amounts

Great, but you've only secured one tiny part of the "earn money/spend money" loop. What if the service/goods you buy turns out to be a scam or something defective? What if my company stops paying me? What if the government starts unfairly taxing me and threatens to throw me in jail if I don't comply?

Our current economy is a lot more than just adding a value on one counter while decrementing an other. It's a complex web of laws, regulations and arbitrations that mean that I can buy something on Amazon without having to cross my fingers that I'll get what I paid for.

That's where this whole libertarian wet dream collapses for me. The whole argument behind bitcoin seems to be "what if your government turns into a fascist state, do you really want them to control your money?"

And clearly the answer is no, but if we end up in this situation my savings account might not be the first of my worries. Nor would having my money in bitcoins prevent me from being thrown in jail if I refuse to yield my secret keys to the neo-gestapo.

On the other hand if the government is benevolent and works for the good of the people then I really want it to be able to control the currency, be able to cease the money generated by illegal activities and tax legitimate income fairly in order to build roads, hospitals, schools, the police and firestations (amongst other things).

I don't want to live in a society where I can't trust my democratically elected government. So maybe we should work on fixing that rather than coming up with incomplete workarounds. "Hey, my sister got detained for thought crime yesterday, but at least I can send her Bitcoins to prison unhindered! Take that Ür-Hitler!"

They look for patterns of behavior. Specifically how recent your negative behavior patterns are.

The more negative behaviors you’ve maintained, the more in the past it has to be.
The problem I have with Lisp for scientific computing is that libraries matter. You really want to standardize not only what you are calling but also your notation because most of the people that you want to use the libraries are scientific domain experts and not "programmers": they may know like 20 functions and that's it (and that's fine!).

Lisps tend to love the "you can build anything in it! You can make all of your own syntax in it!" and I think that goes too far. Julia lets you do this with macros, but then there's a good convention to not overuse this. There has to be a balance between being too structured (which hurts innovation) and too dynamic (which makes it hard to learn someone's new library because everything is too different), and I think Julia strikes the right balance.
Oh man, yes.

For us, and for so many of my friends, it was hard to get over whatever big life thing seemed to stand in the way of getting married. "I just want to [finish my PhD, get a promotion, start my next big project, figure my life out 100%] before getting married." My consistent advice to them is don't wait! Your partner should be there to help you in your goals, not to drag you down! It'll be so much easier to finish your thesis, advance in your career, and figure out life when you're doing together in a position of strength.
Yes! Drivers often seem to only care about the possibility of colliding with another vehicle. So by default they pull right through the crosswalk and/or stop line in order to maximize their visibility of cross traffic and maximize their speed of making the turn without hitting another vehicle. Their actions are both selfish and passive aggressive toward pedestrians, yet at the same time their actions are also completely _rational_ when the driver is ignorant of (or lacks empathy for) pedestrians. They get away with it because it's such a small violation of the law and because pedestrians take on the responsibility of not getting hit.
The final paragraph of this piece sums up the challenge Walmart is facing with this change:

“If you look at Walmart, over its 50 year existence, they’ve always prided themselves on saying our employees are going to be the lowest paid,” says Schlademan. “Now they’ve changed their business model.”

While Walmart’s stock hasn’t returned to its pre-2015 heyday, things are looking up for the world’s largest retailer. If I were in the Digital leadership team, I would push for a partnership with Google Home to compete with the Alexa-enabled retail channel that Amazon has established, sans much fanfare (my opinion). As of last week, Google announced a partnership with Target, but Walmart (and Jet.com) have the more optimized supply chain and better prices. Maybe Google could negotiate a better deal with Target, which would be why they went with them vs. Walmart.

Amazon is practically giving Alexa devices away in a manner reminiscent of how Gillette gave their razors away. Alexa plus Amazon getting into every retail segment plus Amazon branded items plus FBA plus Prime plus ... is a multi-prong approach that will require a number of companies to band together to counter. From my vantage point, no one company can compete against this Goliath / Ser Gregor alone.

That's management methodology, not programming methodology.
Documentation, while important is also a bit overrated in it's capabilities. Don't get me wrong - It would be lovely if you could simply read a bit of documentation to understand what's going on in the code. Reality is different. The details of understanding code, is in the code itself and how it connects to all the other bits of code.

The original author of the code has an understanding that far exceeds the explanatory powers of any documentation or anyone else that can come along and try to understand what's going on. By all means, attempt to document as much as you can, but don't expect it to be a silver bullet for understanding code.

1. Serializing my tasks and assignments (to the extent possible).

2. Doing my work more slowly and deliberately.

3. Working in my own shop with nobody around (i.e. reduced distractions, no office chit-chat).

Not a complete list, but these 3 changes make me more productive than ever before, and with less stress.

(edit to add: not only is productivity greater, but the quality of my output is improved, too.)

Email is only "broken" if you don't use it properly.

Email is plenty broken today even if you do use it properly. In my various business interests, we frequently see mails bounced or silently dropped even though we were sending a legitimate message from one specific person in our business to one specific client or customer contact.

We get rejections because a big mail service provider like Google has deemed certain types of attachments unacceptable.

We get rejections because someone screwed up a blacklist and caught a server at a service provider we use in the net.

Sometimes we get rejections saying our content is unacceptable or whatever words they're using for that this week, when we are literally just sending a standard form tax receipt that we are legally required to provide to our customer!

If you aren't sending from a well-established system or with whatever extra levels of sender verification these services have deemed necessary these days, you're pretty much automatically going into someone's junk folder regardless of the importance, urgency or legitimacy of your message. I had literally never had a problem with legitimate business mail going into a recipient's junk folder until relatively recently, but in the last few years I've seen whole deals blown because a crucial meeting was happening abroad and information that we sent to a client in good time to meet their own prospects wasn't received and turned up in their junk folder that they hadn't thought to check (and this is with long-term clients we have exchanged literally thousands of messages with previously).

Email is broken, and the likes of Google have broken it, and we can and should lay the blame squarely at their feet.

I tried learning Haskell by reading LYAH and doing some of the cis194 course, it was alright, but I was struggling. Then I bought Haskellbook (Haskell Programming from first principles). Took me a while to finish it, but I had a great time doing it. I learned Haskell and was able to jump right into writing my first library with it. And I come from a non-CS background with only a bit of Ruby prior to that. The quality of your learning materials matters a lot.

They should follow the law. Granting an exception is not the way the law should work, because such exceptions are arbitrary and without any sense of justice or ethics. The best way to fix a bad law is to consistently enforce it.

If two actors, one of which is following the law, has a higher risk than two actors both breaking the law, the lawbreaker is still at fault for the increased risk.

To put this in perspective:

Since the first hominids looked up at the stars, till literally yesterday, mankind had only one fundamental force to observe the universe with: electromagnetic waves, be it light, radio waves or infrared. From today, we have two. The other two remaining fundamental forces do not operate at astronomical scales.

Of course, we had LIGO before yesterday, but for me, the confirmation through electromagnetic wave observations is key. This is an historic day!
Sometimes doctors do good work, sometimes the medical-industrial complex makes work for itself. When insurance is paying the bills, no one has to care about effectiveness or costs.

Elisabeth Rosenthal recently published An American Sickness. These lines from Insurance policy: How an industry shifted from protecting patients to seeking profit [0] concisely summarize the medical industry's current business model:

>> The very idea of health insurance is in some ways the original sin that catalyzed the evolution of today’s medical-industrial complex.

>> The people who founded the Blue Cross Association in Texas nearly a century ago had no idea how their innovation would spin out of control. They intended it to help the sick. And, in the beginning, it did.

>> A hundred years ago medical treatments were basic, cheap and not terribly effective. Often run by religious charities, hospitals were places where people mostly went to die. “Care,” such as it was, was delivered at dispensaries by doctors or quacks for minimal fees.

Perhaps we need an "autonomous vehicle" sign prominently displayed on the car, similar to how we display "student driver" signs. When I see a student driver, I automatically assume their driving behavior will be significantly different than the other cars on the road and I adjust my driving accordingly.
Price transparency is the number 1 hurdle facing American healthcare. How are you supposed to fix a cost problem if you don't know what anything costs? Worse yet, how can there be a market for a service if there are no prices??? Less than 10% of healthcare expenditures are emergencies, that leaves a lot of room for shopping around.

I'm also really glad that people are starting to realize that Obamacare had critical conceptual failures. There was nothing in the ACA that tackled healthcare costs, it was only concerned with spreading healthcare costs. Affordable healthcare is not the same thing as affordable health insurance. The Democrats are certain that they already know the right answer, lack of data be damned. The Republican leadership on the other hand doesn't really grok yet that there is a problem (or rather currently they think that Obamacare is the problem, when in truth Obamacare is neither the problem or the solution).

Oh no, your attacker will point a Desert Eagle at your head and you will unlock all your wallets. After the money is transferred you won't be able to recover it.

The reason why currency in current form is so interesting is that it is not easy to move massive amounts currency into a form that can be easily consumed. Even uncut diamonds is a small market so in event crime happens the proceeds of crime will likely be recovered given determined tracking party (i.e. nation state) and returned to the victim of the crime. This, essentially, is the single most important part of the non-crypto currency UX.

I can provide you with an example another extremely popular ( much more popular than BitCon ) currency that does not have such UX - it is cocaine. I think we all can agree its main UX property is violence.

As I read it, I thought this is such a well written piece (I thought the author was the pilot himself), and that the pilot must be insanely talented because not only was he a fighter pilot (which requires skill) but he was an adept writer as well.

Then I later realized that this was a chapter from a book. Whew! the tale has got my heart pumping. This is some amazing narration of an amazing incident
I tend to agree. Pick any healthcare service and call around to your local hospitals and try to get them to tell you what it costs. Half the time they'll tell you THEY don't know. The other half of the time they'll just refuse to tell you. It's insanity, and I suspect it's because you are not the customer. The insurance companies are. The incentives are all wrong.
For me it hasn't so much been that I can still travel, it's just that the source of life's deep joys has shifted. It's hard to describe. Kind of feels like telling an alcoholic that smoothies can taste just as good as a cocktail -- there's just no way to describe it until experienced.

It's just indescribable to be able to share something new with your child. Taking them to a local park or into the city brings me more joy than traveling the world once did. The joys feel less fleeting.

I still hope to get back to traveling, but I really don't feel like it's been a sacrifice as much as a trade where the thing I got was secretly worth well more than what it cost.
I got a better keyboard. I had some bad typing habits that a regular keyboard was "allowing". I tended to reach across the keyboard with my dominant hand and left my non-dominant one to easily accessible keys. Needless to say, typing was slow and error prone.

Then I tried one of those keyboards that splits in the middle. It forced me to break my bad typing habits, I literally couldn't reach across the keyboard anymore, it was waaayy to far to move. My WPM went from 30 to 60 in about two weeks. (Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, for those interested. About $40 on Amazon)

Typing faster allowed me to express my ideas much quicker. I could iterate faster, solve problems quicker, etc. etc. I started moving around the computer with my mouse less, so common operations like saving and opening files sped up.
C64 Basic, QBASIC, Visual Basic, HTML, C (pointers were so hard), Perl, Java, and then we got broadband and I installed Slackware and started learning a lot quicker, C++, Scheme, Common Lisp, Dylan, Smalltalk, Ruby, SML, O'Caml, Erlang, Haskell, and then I started university in Gothenburg partly because it's a Haskell school, there I also learned some Agda, and after all that I haven't learned much more, except SQL which I learned at my first job, a bit of Clojure at another startup, and serious bash scripting in the past few years, a bit of Rust for a one-off project, and Nix, and Inform 7.

Given that GRBs have been detected for a long time and thought to have been a result of neutron star mergers, has a GRB detection ever led to an optical light detection of such a merger before? Is the news here that gravitational wave detection allowed us to see neutron star mergers optically or that they simply coincided with detections of the previously seen optical and gamma ray events?
