Someone who uses a few days a week (not necessarily daily) as opposed to, say, occasional all-nighters before an exam. For example, mrleinad's comment: > I take modafinil on a dail…

Sure, but not everyone is taking them to avoid sleep. Regular users primarily use them to boost productivity during the day, followed by normal sleep.

- Figure out how many hours of sleep you need, figure out how long it takes you to fall asleep (usually ~15 min), add those up, and work backwards from the time you need to wake up…

I use WorkFlowy (YC S10). It's not as robust as Evernote or OneNote and updates are lacking, but it's pretty flexible and works for my needs. Text-only.

You can set up automatic backups on OneNote.

For sure - there's a ton of these services but not a lot of differentiation. There's even a subreddit[1] with over 10k readers based around home services like this mostly copying t…

They closed last month. Some alternatives off the top of my head: https://iamexec.com and https://handy.com

Read a book . It'll wind you down until you get drowsy. When you start drifting off while reading, hit the hay.

/r/cscareerquestions is good as well. There's a large variety of non-CS tech people there.

Ok, I think people are misunderstanding what I've said. I'm not taking any sides here. What I'm saying is that everyone has their own moral codes which can differ from what's dicta…

From a business point of view, and like any company, they're matching a need with a service at a profit. But everyone has their own preferences and boundaries. Society generally fr…

The name comes from the Italian word "nebbia" (mist) but I'm curious why you think Nebula fits better. The cloudiness?

I think some people are just naturally more productive than others. They can just get going. I need to lay things out and plan. Some tips: * Create some sort of system for capturin…

No, these are closer to regular chickens, but all black. The ones used in those soups are called Silkies and are a more distinct breed of chickens. (Fluffy plumage, smaller, and ap…

Yeah, looks like they ship internationally: https://www.joylent.eu/shipping-costs

It's $15/2000 cal for 30 squares or $17.86 for 7 (the sample pack).

Nope! From the article: > She did not need German, however, in her Master's programme, which was filled with students from 50 different countries but taught entirely in English. In…

Agreed – I stopped because there were too many posts I didn't really care about. I've found that if there's anything significant, someone will mention it to you anyway.

> Why did he abandon BCC? To spend more time on Starfighter I'm guessing: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2015/03/09/announcing-starfighter/ > Reminds me of Tim Ferris and Rich Dad Poor D…

I could see it being used. Lots of people get hundreds of emails a day being pitched to or asking for help. Charging people (even a small amount) might get people to put more effor…

$5.2 million with 31 days to go. Damn.

I switched from Evernote to OneNote too, though lately I've been doing all my text-based notes in https://workflowy.com/ (YC '10). It automatically uploads your data to Dropbox if …

Ha, true. It's not too bad actually.
