I switched to drinking tea instead of coffee, all day long. For the most part, I've noticed that I don't experience the afternoon slump as much. On the occasions that I do, a half cup of coffee usually overcomes it.

I've also experimented with intermittent fasting, only eating between noon and 8pm. That also, for me, helped eliminate the slump.

I've been doing the same thing. Morning is my productive time of the day. I work from home, so before I take a shower I make a pot of coffee and then after shower I get on it.

If I can accomplish a couple (maybe only one) things in that four hour period in the morning I feel good.

I also like to go to the gym around 3 in the afternoon. The gym time gives me a little time to reflect and plan. And then after that I have a good 2 hours of "endorphin" rush to work some more before I start getting tired and relax, do some more planning, research (not implementation stuff) for tomorrow.

Eating healthy seems key too. I've never been a breakfast person, but I force myself to eat some protein and maybe some fruit so I'm not crashing (and then eating the wrong) thing mid-morning.

I've also got a 5 year which can drain the energy levels, so I need to plan so I can spend time with him at night.
That's because templates have no type-checking in C++.

Ideally, you wouldn't be able to do this with concepts, but I don't know whether that's true for the concepts that finally made it into the standard (i.e. I don't know if it would be an error to call a function or operator on an argument if that function isn't required in the concept specification.).
Well, you can get a whole package of bratwurst for maybe 3 dollars, so there's that.
As an Overcast user, I don't disagree about the design aspect here, but for whom does this make money?
Ah, and let’s not forget JIRA. JIRA is a real dumpster fire.
I don't see where the authors are advocating that stochastic computers would wholesale replace general purpose digital computers. It looks more like they've found specific cases where stochastic computing could be a big benefit and are doing basic research on development techniques and other possible applications.
I'd like to give up coffee because I tend to crash from it, but it sure is hard to resist that nice rush you get in the morning from it.
Do you work remotely ?
Interested on implementing it myself for a project. I would really appreciate if you could share some numbers. How many donating (% from visitors), avg amount etc. Any stats would help. Thank you.
I'm not a lawyer, but this is my understanding:

A LN node is no more a "money transmitter" than any internet router that a bank transaction flows through is a "money transmitter".

The node or router can't "steal" or modify the amount or destination in any way, and there is no counterparty risk with either of them, so they both aren't "money transmitters".

> Diet, sleep, and exercise are needed in combination

This cannot be stressed enough. I have started to sleep at least 7.5 hours each day. But most of the days it is proving to be difficult and I am able to complete only 6 hours. Still having a routine comfortable sleep has worked wonders for my mood and productivity.
I feel like there is a general sentiment around my question which says "you shouldn't bring him on as co-founder but an employee". Why is that?

Part of giving to charity in addition to taxes is that I don't think the government (USA) is really handling my money properly when it comes to social programs. Private giving in the USA allows us to choose how our money is spent more specifically and usually lets you make a bigger impact in an area you care about. You should look up private giving in the USA, it's an astounding figure that is given every year voluntarily, there are tax deductions if you itemize, but at the end of the day I would save more money taking the standard deduction and not giving, so it's still a sacrifice monetarily for a lot of people here.

>no matter how hard you try, you can't entirely pin down which are core

Yeah, there have been lots of guesses as to why humans are smart, haven't there, e.g. bipedalism, opposing thumbs, tool use, large brain, descended larynx.

But the best guess so far IMO is that humans are optimised for meme transmission. For example, we can tell which way our mother is looking. This leads straightforwardly to language (words being memes which can be pronounced, as Daniel Dennett points out), and thence to culture. Which makes us super-smart. Animals don't seem to have reached cultural escape velocity yet.
It's a buggy mess also.
I was advised:

* 20% of first year revenue on a cold call (deeded to be generous)
* 7% of first year revenue on warm lead (incoming from website)
* 2.5% of year revenue on a renewal
This is no longer the case with Apollo 2.0.
I have been working on something very similar for the past year.

I first build this prototype with the goal of generating sentences and then analysing the user translation because I wanted a feature to see if the user knows the word even though he misspelled it.

http://ling-academy.com/

I finished that 3 months ago, received feedback but its just a proof of concept and since then have been building v2 which is very similar to what you have build - the idea is to have users learn vocab and then match them up with fitting text. This v2 is almost done but not deployed yet.

I do however plan on going much much further then this. I have been looking for a co-founder who is also invested into e-learning and language learning. Maybe we should team up?

In 2003 I worked on the same project and nothing else for about 70 hours a week for 3 months. In absolute terms, I'm a lot more productive now, but given the tools I was using at the time, it was by far the most productive period of my life so far.

Here's what I did:

* I went to a vacation rental
* I had someone with me to handle non-code things who would leave me alone to work even though we were in the same 1BR apt
* I had a tiny office with one entire wall being a window looking out over city, which was a wonderful combination of low local distraction combined with a broad distance full of things to occupy my surface attention while thinking
* I ate only after work, by planning, so that I didn't think about meals or snacks for most of the working day

I did not turn off social media. Well, in those days it was a combo of slashdot and about 10 messaging systems; the problem with actually not checking messages is that I worry about what I'm missing, but if they're on (or I think they are...) and I'm not getting anything, then I don't think about them for hours on end.

This is probably the right answer. Between oldness, amount of money made, and general bad design, I think EHR systems take the cake.
If he doesn't see himself as a salesperson because he's not very confident (as opposed to because he thinks he can do other stuff as well) he's unlikely to an answer to your sales problem. Even if he's competent at the business analysis side of stuff, selling in the $15-100k range is going to take a certain amount of persistence and judgement.

If he can do the other mostly less critical stuff then the fact he wants to keep his current job is actually a good thing for you: pay him for his time and expertise when you need it and offer him a salaried job with options if/when you have revenue, funding and a proper position for him several months down the line.
> I keep hearing this, and I don't buy it. Did you know that `gcc -O3` will turn `int add(int x, int y) { return a + b; }` into an `lea` instruction? I doubt many people do.

Uh. That's a pretty obvious one.

Sometimes using address generation ports is preferable to ALU ports.

Also 'lea' can load the result in a different register from both operands, 'add' will always need to modify a register.

People have been using 'lea' for calculations since dawn of time, for example:

shl ebx, 6
lea edi, [ebx*4 + ebx + 0xa0000]
add edi, eax

== y * 320 + x + framebuffer address.

This was a common way in DOS days for calculating pixel address in mode 0x13.

A semester during my undergraduate degree, my registrar account was allowed to sign up for a class after I made a case they should waive the pre-requisite for me. During my sign-up window, I was unable to enroll in the class before it was filled, but noticed I could sign up for any class without being flagged. I ended up taking the most difficult classes in my program all at once, forcing myself to work near 24/7, riding the wave of volatility with heavy consumption of substances. The final result was a firey explosion, but at least it happened the next semester and I was able to graduate early while mostly taking electives for my last semester.

This period of "productivity" taught me a lot. As a lot of folks here are already aware, it is a slow and difficult process to increase the workload one can handle. Temporary support from things like caffeine, sugar, alcohol or drugs can extend these periods making it easy, but over time the effect weakens as you become more familiar with the mental state, making the initial support a crutch. Years later when completing my masters, I found the urge to fall back on some of the habits incredibly appealing during the weeks when I felt stressed and wanted to go on "autopilot". If I look at the future productivity earned from the compound interest of staying up, angry and upset, but still working through the discomfort, then I have had nights that were 10x what that semester in college was, because those nights will yield 100s of hours in the future that I would otherwise not be able to work through.
I am surprised no one has said "can't you capture that feeling in another job"

Thinking out aloud, the things you may like about what you were doing: creativity, problem solving, programming, the debug loop, focus etc probably exist in other tasks.

However, in order to be useful there are many "boring" to you (but interesting to others) things that have to be done: someone has to raise money to support you while you work on it, someone has to convince others they should spend money on it and so forth.

Ideally, you would focus on what you love, but let others do the parts you don't, which is exactly what a company ought to be.

Perhaps you can recapture that feeling in the context of a company.
How did you stop to write code? Did you write your code in a notebook? On a smartphone? Or did you walk with a laptop in a bag that you would take out when needed?
Yep. And we can't blame Jacob for the sins of Benjamin just because they wear the same hat.
I had slacked off for a semester in university and got 0 study credits, where nominal study performance should have yielded 30 credits (EC). This worried me because some of those points were part of my freshmen year and the university had just instated a rule that students entering their third year without having completed their first year would be expelled (the p-in-2 rule) designed to get rid of slackers prevalent in the otherwise lenient European style university.

My best friend was also faced with a harsh deadline at the time, having to finish his bachelor degree before a certain date so we made a covenant to study at the library together this entire day, every day, for that quarter.

I made a crazy ambitious plan to complete exams for 9 courses, worth 45 EC in total. There was some low hanging fruit that I just had to read the course material for, but also some (for me) hard courses. I think 2 calculus courses, Algorithms Data structures and Complexity and a Discrete Mathematics I. Especially that last one was giving me a hard time, having failed the exam three times already even though most of my friends felt it was a fairly easy maths course.

I look back at those few months fondly. Although I was socially isolated, not going to parties not seeing any friends besides just that one, I grew closer to him and I felt good because we just were so productive.

Of those 9 courses I failed two, yielding 35 EC in just one quarter. I know there's geniuses out there that do that sort of thing on the regular, but for me just passing a single maths test was an achievement, let alone passing 6 more in the same week.

Make sure you are not diabetic. During diabetes and pre-diabetes blood sugar is higher than normal, even when fasting, more so when snacking. And high blood sugar does cause "brain fog".

I'm sorry but this is so clearly a much better step in the right direction. As slick as the 'buy me a coffee' site is and as nice as Patreon is, I can't help shake the feeling that it's only a matter of time before the company goes under, or they sell my data, or they engage in other shady shenanigans.

I would trust a 'buy me a coffee' site so much more if it were managed by somone like Sir_Cmpwn with a FOSS backed system. I wish we would start moving more towards FOSS infrastructure.

Why FOSS isn't the norm, especially for systems dealing with money, is beyond me.
I've spent at least 2 weeks this year trying to get Kubernetes and logstash/elasticsearch to work together with an endpoint. One week on getting the golang client to deal properly with the changing ip on a restarted elastic pod (solved), and one week on logstash doing it (unsolved), with x-pack mucking up things royally.

I wish I was angry, but I'm just defeated and annoyed.
While that was true for quite some time, it has dramatically improved to it's current state such that it is only noticeable during peak 'tatkal' booking time.

The UI/UX is still horrible though.
Good points but the thing that will prevent adoption of your approach is the element of variability.

Businesses don't handle processes that produce variable outcomes very well since it opens them up to risk. Or stated another way, businesses love the notion of fungible employees and a one-size-fits all process to shepard those employees.

Fungible employees makes sense if you are in manufacturing where low skill workers are the norm, but not so much if you are in the knowledge industry, where there are variations in the skills each employee excels at.

IMHO, the dynamics of knowledge work is similar to a team sport like soccer/football but businesses would prefer that the dynamics be similar to manufacturing line workers.
Thanks for the elaborate answer. As far as I understand your fifth paragraph refers directly to my question. How would uniformity rule out purely gravitational interaction? As far as I see it gravitational forces should be enough to get two reservoirs of different temperature onto equal temperature. It's just the time scale which may be a problem. And if I start already with two (almost) uniformly distributed reservoirs, long range interactions shouldn't make a difference. Inflation should have flattened out everything already anyways.

I agree. UI is awful, it's like every page you visit has a different design (compare browsing products to account management pages). Completely different interface again on mobile.

I also find it ridiculous they have some much advertising on it - both buyers and sellers are producing revenue through seller fees and paypal transactions. Why do they need ads as well?

I've tried to use other selling sites but always end up back at ebay as they have far more stuff for sale, and more buyers.

Right after they released the HN api. I made an app called feedhint, that took me three days non-stop. Not only that, I had a bunch of exams aligned that very week, but that didn't matter. All I wanted was to create that app, personalized HN RSS feeds based on keywords. Had some good feedback also! Felt really great.
Oh and I hope I didn't accidentally romanticize it. I do have a sense of humor about it, and I do truly love my projects, but I believe 9 out of 10 more objective onlookers would agree I have actually ruined my life and career.

The first time I did this, my project was never released, but it directly got me my next job. It was a very good job, and I wouldn't have landed it otherwise. The second time I did this, I found a job pretty quickly. This is the third time, and the first time that recruiters are all drilling me about the gaps and why I quit each job. Drilling me. I'm getting the distinct impression that I'm starting to push my luck, and plus I'm old now.
