I've come across "Pomodoro" many times over the years but one thing has always prevented me from bothering to consider it: when "in the mode" 20 mins or 30 mins or some other arbitrary length of time just isn't long enough... If you've ever been "in the mode" you might know what I mean.

However, I get stuck just like everyone else, and I think "getting stuck" is the problem Pomodoro is _really_ trying to solve, but to me it feels unnatural. My own method of getting unstuck is:

1. First consciously "notice" deviation (being susceptible to 30sec check of HN or whatever), I tend to start deviating because I have found a natural break or because I am stuck (deviating in quick succession). Either way I should make it a proper break, go make a cup of tea and leave the computer, think about where I am. Recognising this is not as easy as you might think at first.

2. If this is a repeat occurrence within some short period of time then I am stuck... noticing this is important because rather than just grinding away harder, it is likely a change strategy is needed in order to get back into "the mode". There is no silver bullet here, but I have a few tricks, for coding in general i find that moving to work on different areas or levels of abstraction help prune the decision tree higher up which can get you out of a little local minima with too many decisions that are grinding you to a halt.

I suppose what I am doing that Pomorado seems to lack is finding natural breaks and trying to introspect in the natural break to determine if I am breaking too frequently and if there is a reason (I'm not suggesting it should be ok to have absolutely no breaks, but that lack of concentration can sometimes be an indicator of an issue with your strategy for the current work.)
As a paramedic, I appreciate your comments on this.

Acute hypoglycemia, as you mentioned, we treat with sugars, either oral glucose, or IV dextrose. Complex sugars are of course better.

I will take issue with this, however:

> Complications of high blood sugar level don't develop suddenly. It's a relatively slow process that takes weeks or months. There is a medical emergency, called diabetic ketoacidosis, that results from high blood sugar level. However, that takes months of untreated high sugar levels, combined with dehydration, to develop.

You can begin to notice symptoms of DKA in as little as 24 hours, and high acuity incidents can happen with a matter of days to a week or so.

But yes, you're right that it will not be something that has such rapid onset as described by the parent.

I wonder how many people who were under the same impression can admit they were wrong, and of those, how many are able to tone down their outrage to the level warranted by the communication issue.

Outrage is really hard to dial back, even in the face of new information - I know it is for me. I guess that's an interesting corollary for many of the events we see happening in these polarised times.

Theoretically google does penalize duplicate content, but I've heard that you can ask medium support to set a canonical link pointing from the medium article to your site, I think that might even benefit your SEO. Although I've never bothered to do it yet, SEO is not my main strategy.

Either way, for me, the benefits of anything that makes content creation easier way outweigh the possible SEO penalty, so I don't really care.

I don't see the point of writing teaser stories on medium, I doubt they'll get accepted into big publications, or bring you a lot of traffic. For me, Medium articles are meant to close email subscribers, and the future emails I send can direct people to my site.

I've got started on twitter only recently, I post there for fun, writing practice, and sometimes I just share links to whatever project or post I want to promote.

Posts submitted to subreddits link to my main site.

I don't usually bother to manually promote medium posts anywhere other than submitting them to publications (because I might as well promote the main site).

Please don't post cruel things to HN. This violates the site guideline which says: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize." It's clearly in the spirit of this site to extend that not just to what people say, but to how they behave. The fact that the person you're being cruel about probably isn't within earshot makes no difference, because the issue is what kind of community we are.

Medium in it's purest form is a blatant SEO siphon from your website. Well written articles will generally place highly on Google's search results no matter the domain(unless you've got shady shit going on). God knows what metrics they're using these days (mostly ML?) But Google readily recognizes articles well written from expert sources in my opinion. I've only written around ten blog posts but they're all first page, some first result, for my goal keywords.

And this is on a no-name website not optimized for SEO at all. The SEO arms race has been going on so long that we've reached a point where, if you're a good writer, it's easier to follow Google's guidelines than try to cheat the system.

Medium and other blog sites are basically a guest blog, except you're not getting paid for placement. Google ranking is everything and posting on medium does nothing but hurt you gravely
North Korea has confirmed WMDs, has the ability to strike US soil with them, and likely has the ability to strike the Continental US.

My understanding is than they are likely able to hit the continental US with an unarmed ICBM, and that it is highly unlikely that they would be able to do so with the added weight of a nuclear warhead.

I'm a heavy user of iTunes 10.6.3. The old interface is beautiful, and it syncs music/contacts/calendars to my iPhone and iPod over USB without needing iCloud.

Next year I'm planning to rewrite iTunes as a personal project.

Essential features for me are:

- Multiple libraries

- Tags

- Playlists

- Playlist folders

- Sync

- AppleScript

- Mini player

I use iTunes as a general database manager, not only for music. I have a library for Facebook friends, where each person is stored as URL track. Clicking on the track triggers a PHP script, which opens my browser with their profile.

I also have other databases for Raspberry Pi projects, universities & departments, SMS text messages, and Chinese characters (a script on that library is what became https://pingtype.github.io ).

Before I start this huge project, could anyone tell me about alternatives? I've looked into FileMaker, Access, SQL, MongoDb, etc, but nothing has the ease of use, nested playlist folders, and scriptability of iTunes.

+1 for tig. I'm also a big fan.
Ulimit is per process, it won't do. vm.overcommit_memory=2 with some setting of vm.overcommit_ratio or bytes will help though.

I'd say overcommit heuristics break applications and cause them to eat too much memory since they don't know when to stop. The only trouble is KVM which for some reason takes double of process space allocated to the VM for no good reason and perhaps memory intensive Java.

You need to tune the latter anyway.

> Well written articles will generally place highly on Google's search results no matter the domain(unless you've got shady shit going on).

Absolutely. I've written two blog posts on PostgreSQL on topics that, in my opinion, weren't well covered and often misunderstood by its users. Both posts show up on the first page on a google search for "psql cli" and "postgres timezone".

I honestly never understood this whole fuss about SEO. In my opinion SEO is about good content. Good content over time will spread, which will result in a higher ranking.
Eventually the elastic snaps on product downsizing and they relaunch a new "king size" or "sharing" product.

For example, the Mars Bar in the UK grew from 49g to 65g then shrank back down to 51g, but they also launched an 84g king size bar. After complaints from the regulators, the king size bar was replaced by "Mars Duo" - two 42g bars in the same pack, ostensibly designed for sharing.

Cheaper ingredients can also be substituted by redesigning the product. The chocolate on a Mars bar is thinner than it used to be and the nougat has an airier texture, maintaining product size while reducing ingredient cost. Many chocolate manufacturers have increased the number of SKUs with inclusions like cookie or honeycomb pieces. Sugar, flour and air are cheaper than cocoa, but it feels like you're getting more for your money than if you'd bought a plain chocolate bar.

I realized recently that a lot of people writing about it today were not necessarily old enough to follow politics yet at the time of the events.

No, the WMD claim by the US was not an honest mistake, it was a purposeful lie to be used as an excuse for war.

Here is a speech by GWB on Iraq in 2002: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/oct/07/usa.iraq

The claim was that Iraq threatened USA. At the time, everybody knew this was a lie. Iraq did not have capable missiles to reach US territory and claims that it had a secret nuclear program were extremely dubious. Remember : the fear was nuclear ICBM, this is what was hammered in the media. They fell back to chemical weapons, but if the US plans to invade every country with a stock of chemical weapons, good fucking luck!

Colin Powell, presenting the threats to the UN council, put forward a nuclear threat. He used as proofs, documents that were fake. "Obvious fake" as the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency would call them: http://edition.cnn.com/2003/US/03/14/sprj.irq.documents/

What he said about it: "My colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not assertions. What we're giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence."

These were not mistakes, these were lies:
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/jonathan-schwarz/colin-powell...

Iraq was (correctly it appears, in hindsight) fearing an invasion so it was worried that opening up to foreign inspectors would lead to espionage to prepare the invading forces.

In the end, as a last hope to preserve peace, it allowed inspectors in a mission, led by Hans Blix. Here is how he described the cooperation of Iraqi forces:

"Iraq has on the whole cooperated rather well so far with Unmovic in this field. The most important point to make is that access has been provided to all sites we have wanted to inspect and with one exception it has been prompt. We have further had great help in building up the infrastructure of our office in Baghdad and the field office in Mosul. Arrangements and services for our plane and our helicopters have been good. The environment has been workable."

> If I believed any conspiracy as far as Iraq goes

US disregarded that and still decided to invade. No one had a single doubt that this was about oil.

Iraq is a clear case of a conspiracy. This is actually a very good counter-point to conspiracy theorists: When a government tries to lie about something, it is really obvious, and it still works.

I'm freelancing, and my goal is usually to work 12 productive Pomodoro's every day, i.e. about six hours of productive work. That really feels like I've extracted all the productivity I have in me for a day, and still leaves plenty of time to rest and do whatever I want. (When I used to work at home I would e.g. go for a run after four or eight Pomodoro's, and continue with the rest afterwards.)
I disable all notifications in all programs, browsers and also those generated by the OS.

The whole idea of notifications is that I want to be interrupted from whatever I'm doing to learn the information in a timely manner. This is pretty much never true.

Sorry for the late reply. I didn't see this earlier.

I have followed the twitter handle. It looks like it is all audio, which I suspect is not very compatible with Hacker News, but I am trying to ask around and get some feedback on that detail.

Good on you. Feel free to email me if you want to talk.

I deny them all, I also turn off most notifications from programs on my PC and on my phone. My email clients, direct messages on HipChat and some facebook notifications on my phone (and phone calls and SMS) are the only notifications I want. I like to be in charge of when to consume information, instead of being force feed information.

So except HipChat at work I get less than 10 notifications a day in total on all platforms. Most can be looked at when I notice them, and closed right away. Still keep them on for the 1 in 10 that I want to read.

This is one more anti-privacy move from Mozilla in a series of such moves.

The nice thing about ethical organisations is that you can have peace of mind and don't have to worry about how they're going to screw you when their marketing department runs amok. Because of cliqz, the annoying telemetry (aka spyware) and this incident, I don't trust Mozilla any more.

I actually kind of do hope there is. In a climate of sceptics only the strongest businesses survives. When there's a bear market, I look around at what companies are still doing good and snatch some shares.

Intelligent VCs that really understand and value the tech are going to make a killing and good, sound business plans become the norm rather than the exception for crypto companies then.
