I gave pomodoro a try years ago, but failed. It simply doesn't fit my personality, don't like deadlines and time pressure.

Instead, I put my tasks in a Moleskine notebook, mixed with other notes and ideas of mine. In front of each task I put a square box, to be checked when the task is completed in the future. Usually tasks are 1-2 hours long, they are for evenings, longer tasks are for weekends. It's crucial to keep tasks small, no longer than 1 day of work, so split big tasks into small. This is crucial, as abstract tasks lead to procrastination and make you lose focus. The checkbox gives satisfaction when done and remains in the notebook, so that you can see a lot of completed by reviewing your notes.

I use this technique for 3 years now and it works for me. Not sure if it's known by other name as I came to it myself. Hopefully, this can be useful for others as well.

I find myself thinking of dog breeds: Over the last ~150 years, selective breeding has led to an explosion of phenotypes, but there's a limit to how much humans can take credit--or perhaps blame--for all the results.

Much of what we've done is to evoke particular blends and combinations of a great many individual genes that already existed throughout in the species.

P.S.: IANADogGeneticist so these numbers are totally made-up, but imagine an island population of 1,000 "average dogs" or mutts that look the same. They collectively bear 20 distinct genes that promote Long Noses, and 15 distinct genes that promote Short Noses, and due to what chromosomes they're on, each dog might have a random ~4 from the Long Nose set and ~3 from the Short Nose set. On average you'll keep getting similar looking individuals, until some sinister aliens arrive and begin... The Pug Project, leading to a bunch of poor lapdogs with 8-10 Short Nose genes and 0-1 Long Nose ones.
Can you elaborate? I’m not sure I follow.
Reminds me of the Minneapolis Skyway[0]. I wonder if other cold-weather cities have similar systems.

I mean that the statistics sometimes don't tell the whole story.

The city might be "safe", statistically speaking, but nobody gets out of home because everybody is afraid and tries to avoid public spaces as much as possible. So you have a whole generation being raised inside apartments and closed spaces basically, this was the high price I was talking about.
Merely knowing I'm doing it wrong isn't actionable. In addition, I need to know what to change to do it right.
If the company just keeps paying the Californian salary but offers relocation to e.g Texas, it may be a significant direct benefit for the employees, worth the move. Just compare:

There were more murders in the US in 2023 than in 2019.

https://www.axios.com/2023/12/28/us-murder-violent-crime-rat...

There were more murders in 2023 than any year 2009-2019.

So we're down from the COVID highs, but still higher than any other year since 2008.
I think Ladybird has already surpassed that mark. Maybe not in 100% of attributes, technically modern Chrome/Firefox don't even meet that mark, but it's also already gone well beyond in most of them. This including that they are doing everything in house from the image decoding to the font rendering (well, on Serenity - for other platforms like Linux/macOS they have QT bridge their implementation to existing stacks).

Still a long ways to go to be a Chrome/Firefox for sure but that it's already beyond what you suppose might be possible is just the point of why it's its own kind of excitement.
Stop huffing copium.
What I need so learn to start to understand those articles? Is there some good courses on the topic? For beginners?
I’m not familiar with NYC or a lack of filing per se, but I could believe an honest lack of reporting downtrends the real numbers.

I’ve been victim to several violent crimes in my city in the 2020-2022 timespan (multiple pistol brandishing in traffic, one shot out window, and a knife brandishing in a grocery store)

In the first instance I was asked if I wanted to file a report about an hour later after the man had long fled (I had only a partial plate and they couldn’t get a match based off that information.) I was told, really, no there’s not much that would come out of it but they would file if I asked they do. I thanked the officer for his time and let him know I wouldn’t bother burdening him with the paperwork.

I never bothered reporting the next several incidences.

The only report I know was filed was the knife wielding man threatening to kill me in front of my child at 5.00 PM on a Friday in a crowded grocery store. I waited 35 minutes for police to respond to the call for the sole fact that the man might be waiting in the parking lot and I didn’t intend on leaving without a police escort lest I have to shoot down a man in front of my child. Never requested a report there, but I know it was filed.

I found out because I was telling my barber about it a week later and he mentioned that story was in the local city paper’s police blotter.

I can’t say it’s particularly unique. I’ve had coworkers harassed in similar fashions, they never reported because they knew it was a waste of everyone’s time. The police officer that works security at our old church told me he had it happen once off-duty he just flashed his own pistol and badge and the fool fled.

He never filed for his own incident.

Why bother?
Thanks for the feedback!

Yes the idea was to create a tool to help you go through your day, not something super complex (we all already have our systems in place)

And that twist in the end....

>The hedge fund that bankrolled P.&I.D.’s defense in London, VR Capital, stood to make a profit if the verdict had gone its way. After the bribery allegations came out, the fund took action to hedge its investment: It filed an arbitration case against Brendan Cahill and Lismore Capital, Seamus Andrew’s litigation-funding company. According to VR, Cahill and Andrew took its $45 million but misled them about how P.&I.D. had won the contract to begin with.
"Toyotas and Hondas were the most commonly stolen car make in the District in 2022, with 501 Toyotas and 413 Hondas reported stolen. Hyundai and Kia were the third and seventh most commonly stolen, respectively, with 355 Hyundais and 192 Kias reported stolen last year.

By comparison, D.C. police data show 1,468 Hyundais and 806 Kias were stolen between Jan. 1 and July 20 of this year, accounting for more than half of the nearly 4,000 car thefts in the District. An I-Team analysis shows that, on average, a Hyundai or Kia is stolen in D.C. every two hours and seven minutes."

Though, people are more worried about armed carjacking which is manufacturer agnostic
I recommend FocusMate. You are forced to work by the social pressure of having someone else on the other end work alongside you.
Absolutely true. I know of one younger guy who used to have an iPhone, but switched to Android after the Fortnite debacle. This happens. Having fewer experiences on your mobile platform will never gain you more customers. Fortnite isn't big enough to move significant numbers alone, but if you include other third party developers Apple loves egotistically slighting, Spotify, Netflix, Microsoft, etc: Apple would not exist if they collectively decided to abandon Apple's platforms. They have given FAR, FAR MORE to Apple than Apple has given to them; its so lopsided anyone who thinks otherwise isn't thinking straight.

These devs aren't doing this, by and large, today, because its not in their business interest to do so. But: capitalism is an efficiency maximizer. Software has lower margins today than it ever has, and they're only getting lower. The market simply cannot support 30% taxes forever; it'll happen one-by-one, its already happening one-by-one. Apple's choice is: Get ahead of it, find a better more efficient path for developers to distribute on their platforms; or watch their platforms become boring places where no one can possibly leverage their extremely bad and proprietary technology to make money, and "apps" only make sense for gigacorporations to distribute as a value-add for their web apps.
Name the other axes, Seth. What are they? What else is there but money? With sufficient money you can fill your positions instantly with top talent.

After reading the article it sounds absurd when you first think about it but leaves you with how else could it possible work after seeing the evidence.

I am no evolutionary biologist but one might look at rapid adaptation as an evolutionary strategy in itself. I have always felt humans did this by using intelligence. Does anyone know of other mammals that can live in such a large range of environments without physically adapting?
OK, as I'm not an Egyptologist, let's substitute any other language whose orthography is based on icons and pictograms. There aren't many, and there's a reason for that. They suck.

Certain Asian languages come to mind, something they started to regret grievously around the time the typewriter was invented.

> Moving your Linux workloads from a x86 server to this amazingly inexpensive mainframe can save 52% TCO over five years, IBM claims.

Call your Geico insurance agent to save 15% or more on car insurance.

But the kicker is imo this:

Yes, I also like my over-the-horizon-radar system to be powered by RedHat software. NORAD powered by Kubernetes coming to a US border near you.

I never understood why people don't just change diapers on the ground. Less risky, easy cleanup, no bending over.
But property usually isn't taxed. Trading is. If you license a patent to someone else for $500/year, you'd pay tax on that $500. But if it's actually worth more, of course you wouldn't charge such a low fee.
That's exactly what I've seen so far. "Record sales of singular <type of car> in March, outsells XYZ competitor". I assumed that was part of their strategy.

This is often due to the bulk deliveries at end of quarter and only really having 1 model "per line" vs other manufacturers splitting their car lines into several variants.
The problem is that if one party is arguing that the other has fallen into McNamara's fallacy, they won't have the numbers to back it up and can always be written off as just anecdotal data and outliers.

I have heard that DirectML was a somewhat easier story, but allegedly has worse performance (and obviously it's Windows only...). But I'm not entirely suprised that setup is somewhat easier on Windows, where bundling everything is an accepted approach.

With AMD's official 15GB(!) Docker image, I was now able to get the A1111 UI running. With SD 1.5 and 30 sample iterations, generating an image takes under 2s. I'm still struggling to get InvokeAI running.
This dude was so offended by your comment he replied twice lol.
I was really disturbed one day when the Asana desktop app updated and it put a giant "pomodoro" window on top of my screen. I almost uninstalled Asana because of it.

Anyway, work that requires focus should have natural rhythms: There's things that need to stay in my head, and if I get interrupted it's very hard to find my place. So I work without stop (except to pee) while these things are in my head, and I take a break once I finish enough that I can "forget" what's in my head.

It's something you'll understand if you've ever written complicated programs, or had to do something that requires intense concentration.

For example: I had to tweak a server-side Blazor application to deny access in a certain situation. Last Friday I did it in the UI, but that's not a good solution because there's ways to accidentally bypass the UI. The right way to deny access is in the Middleware, but I didn't have a lot of experience working with ASP Middleware. Thus, I couldn't start working with the Middleware in the last few minutes of the day (too much to learn).

I spent about 90 minutes this morning learning how to hook into ASP's middleware so I could deny access to the application. Once I learned how to do that, I ate lunch. After lunch, I closed all the browser windows that had the documentation for Middleware and wrote the error page. Now that I opened the PR, I'm taking a break on Hacker News.

Trying to fit that into a timer is impossible: If the timer went off while I was trying to figure out how to work with the Middleware, I'd have to re-read a lot of the stuff to get back into the puzzle.

I'm asking whether the laws which allow this are within scope of the US Constitution's clause on intellectual property rights.

Which laws are those? I'm not sure why it wouldn't be in the scope of the constitutional grant of authority to congress. "by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries" The use of exclusive here makes perfect sense with how things worked then, and today. I think you are getting caught up in non-existent semantics. What would be the purpose of the clause if authors/inventors couldn't sell their work? what would be secured in the exclusive rights that benefits the furthering of arts and science if inventors and authors couldn't exploit their exclusive rights? I'm a copyright and patent litigator and I've never heard anyone make the argument you are making.
In imagination-land, it could've been a higher echelon of test.

There are plenty of NFL games played on Saturdays during the season, if you look at the text of the act it has specific periods of time where this is permitted.

It doesn't matter to my lab whether it technically runs. According to https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/lates... it only supports three commercially-available Radeon cards (and four available Radeon Pro) on Linux. Contrast this to CUDA, which supports literally every nVIDIA card in the building, including the crappy NVS series and weirdo laptop GPUs, and it basically becomes impossible to convince anyone to develop for ROCm.

> Someone using deepfakes to e.g. hide facial disfigurement from their employer isn't someone I mind using deepfakes.

I agree here. But what about the harder questions? Do you think deepfake porn of celebrities should be allowed? What about deepfake porn of an unpopular student at the local high school?

If these aren't allowed, where is the best place to prevent them, but still has minimal impact on the allowed uses? At the root level of the software capable of producing them (what seems to be proposed in TFA)? At the user level (car analogy)? At the distribution level (copyright-style)? I don't know the answer to these questions, but I think we should all be talking and thinking about them.
If that were the case, carjacking numbers would be up wherever Kias circulate, which is clearly not the case. Criminality is rampant not because there are opportunities to commit crime, but because there are people willing to commit them.
It is very, very IBM of them to push it this way.
It's 2 different things to have a to-do list and use the Pomodoro technique.

The first one is made to plan your day and clear your mind, whereas the latter is made to help you go through that list while being as productive as possible.

The rate of carjackings is a miniscule fraction of what it was when I was a kid learning to drive.

It's dropped from over 0.5 per 100k to around 0.1 per 100k over the last 30 years.

I don't fall into the trap of focusing on year-on-year changes, but instead I look at trends because my primary concern is "are things safer for my kids than they were for me when I was a kid".

And the answer is yes.

They are.

When More Democracy Is Less: The Paradox of Primaries
Counterpoint: Most AI stuff is developed on either an OS agnostic language like Python or C, and then ported to Linux/OSX/Windows, so for AI it is less about the OS it runs on than the hardware, drivers, and/or connections that the OS supports.

For the non-vendor lock in AI's (copilot), casting as wide of a net as possible to catch customers as easily as possible should by default mean that they would invest the small amount of money to build linux integrations into their AI platforms.

Plus, the googs has a pretty deep investment into the linux ecosystem and should have little issue pushing bard or gemini or whatever they'll call it next week before they kill it out into a linux compatible interface, and if they do that then the other big players will follow.

And, don't overlook the next generation of VR headsets. People have gotten silly over the Apple headset, but Valve should be rolling out the Deckhard soon and others will start to compete in that space since Apple raised the price bar and should soon start rolling out hardware with more features and software to take advantage of it.
> After a million dollars or so in salary, the absolute amount that a person is paid has no real impact on their life. They can't eat more meals in a day or wear more shoes

Bigger salaries attracts more people, so you can have your pick of your favorite candidate.

I assumed OP was talking about seeing crimes as a percentage of crime opportunities, whereas overall crime counts on a per capita basis might mask that people spend less time outdoors because of the risk of crime.
This is occasionally true, but that is very infrequent.

The example I like to cite is swords. Despite swords playing no role in modern combat, modern swords (the real ones, not knockoff/costume swords) are of a higher quality, fit, and finish, than anything a knight or samurai would have been able to obtain. While being dramatically cheaper, in the sense that someone would have many fewer hours to work to obtain one.

There are counterexamples of products which would have been cheaper at a given quality in the past, or readily available when they're difficult to obtain in the present. But once you rule out things made with ivory and whalebone, these are scarce indeed.
If you're late with rent, the police will show up when called.
Gave up classic Pomodoro technique many years ago, but recently I've returned to it by listening to 'Pomodoro streamers' on Twitch. Idea is simple: the host starts/stops the timer on stream, works during work session and chats with audience during breaks. You don't have to follow the schedule strictly, but after a couple of rounds you get into the rhythm. As a plus, instead of mechanical timer you have a choice of background music and streamer persona.

As for managing distractions, I use self-messages in Telegram as an inbox for any spontaneous ideas.
It's a great time for experimentation (outside the UCI straitjacket) to see what works; there's scope for lone inventors (harking back to Obree) to figure out what works, perhaps not so equally there are people designing stuff on intuition ("looks fast") but unable to practically measure the difference. Sounds like you're up on this, stuff like VE, Chung, DFDM etc as ways to meaningfully measure the effect of the many ways to improve bike aero.
Great team members. That one is very important too.

This is very similar to my flow. I start a 25 minute timer, and work for at least that amount of time, if I get interrupted during that first 25 minutes I count that as an interruption (which I tally). From there I count the number of 25 minute blocks I work, which include any rolling timers (25 minute blocks after the first 25 minutes).

I did this on paper for a few months and eventually turned it into an app called Contadino for macOS, iOS, watchOS, and visionOS (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/contadino/id1672167389).
