And the best way to manage your home is to separate the tasks into tidying, organising and cleaning. 3 separate and distinct actions. The same applies to code and projects.

I really like it too - but one that stumped me when I landed in the homepage was "What do I click to see something?" Maybe add a big green "Ready, let's go!" button underneath the …

Same here and I've just started reading "Hooked" by Nir Eyal which is kind if a counter/companion to "Deep Work". Following Newport's logic I am looking at optimising engagmement (…

The BBC did have a really interesting viewer for all the meta data at http://open.bbc.co.uk - but that seems to have disappeared. http://duncan.hull.name/2012/08/03/meta-bbc/

Every Day Scripting with Ruby by Brian Marick, published by Pragmatic Programmers.

When they finally did get barcodes they wrapped around most of the product so they could just whizz them past the scanners. They're still fast, but it's a more frustrating to keep …

An alternate take on this would be for websites/services that have a splash page but no signup form/RSS feed or a non-news/blog site such as a bakery, local restaurant, etc. From t…

You're right. And the two are hard to compare: cheaper bacon in your hand, immediately, today vs. the more abstract 'human health' (which may or may not affect you, ever).

Another aspect might be that people with mental/eating disorders might be more attracted to vegetarianism, rather than vegetarianism causing those. I can see good reasons for this:…

Had a mode extreme version of that - if I kept it open the whole day I had to restart my laptop.

From my experience a lot of this is to do with people's "food culture" (I can't think of a better way to express that). People have ideas about what constitutes food or a "proper m…

From the other article on HN today it seems that they've tried to do some of that. They wrote their own pre-IPO prospectus and done the leg-work themselves on other things. It's no…

They never really solved the 'alienation' problem. Nothing changed about people's jobs, they were just working in the factory for 'The Good of the People' rather than 'Faceless Meg…

You should create a tip jar. I use ViewText 3 or 4 times a day. If I go to a website and there's no print view or there's a load of crud I don't want to print I hit the bookmarklet…

And at the same time the Russians did much to preserve Yiddish (a Jewish language).

How do you overcome making sure mobile devices don't download lots of images/interactive components they won't/don't/can't display?

Exit are a left-wing group trying to steer people away from a right-wing group. Tolerance doesn't come into it. From the perspective of the left in Germany, street-level and youth …

Here's the problem I have with cryonics: in what future do they need to defrost people from the past for another other than freak show/historical novelty? There are so many problem…

47 times faster in Firefox 3.6.1 7 times faster in IE 8

My boss had a better slogan: JEDI (just effin' do it). We always took it to mean 'do it, don't just talk about it/don't ask permission, just get on with it'. Getting that JEDI mind…

There's also a tool called Winsplit Revolution which does the same thing. It's like Divvy on the Mac.

The quote having it's own Facebook page is probably because of the changes they made fairly recently with people's profiles/interests. I think the quote, an unlived life is not wor…

As I understand it, Haystack has already 'shipped' code. They 'shipped' it to Iran on USB thumb drives. Austin Heap posted up info not too long after the Iranian elections last yea…

A sensible step would be to get into the habit of upgrading browsers/tools. A workplace that finds it traumatic to upgrade to IE 7, 8 or 9 or from Windows XP or Windows 7 or even f…
