#32This is a great idea, BUT it'll slow your system so no thanks.
My tip to you guys is to turn off Internet access until you need it, close the browser. When you open Reddit, HN, Facebook or whatever - close it deliberately. Practice that. Move the cursor to the X, push it and MEAN IT.

#33How is this at the top of HN? Apparently people that need this stuff sit on HN and vote it up. If you don't want to go to these sites I have some advice: Don't go to them.
Commenting online becomes addictive. It becomes a horrible time sink and a useless waste of time. Either arguing with people who don't understand anything, or endlessly circle-jerking with people who have the same viewpoint as you. Some even fall into the trap of believing their "karma" score somehow means something. All it means is how much time you waste online commenting.
Once you start commenting online, you can't easily stop. So it's not as simple as "Don't go to them".

#34I'm not sure if everyone noticed, but the primary interesting thing here is NOT that it blocks off domains at certain times (everyone and their dog wrote such scripts for themselves). The nice thing is that each rule is defined as a function, which means that you can put a bit more complex rules inside, or just add some logging and track every name resolution against given domain. Which actually brings me to question…
Yes, but it modifies the response to have a very low TTL so that it's cached only for a show while (in as far as browser actually get the query response).

#35This, like other github themes, has bad CSS that makes the monospaced text come out as serif on Linux. I know the github crew uses Macs but it makes me a little sad to see they don't test on the system that spawned their namesake. :(
The problem comes from this:
code {
font-family: "Lucida Sans", Monaco, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Lucida Console, Terminal;
}

Karma is a score.
That means it's a game.
"winning" games is fun.
Thus increasing your karma score is, well, fun.
Not to mention all the fringe benefits a decent karma score can bring you ... well not really the karma score itself, but the activities you do to get said score. It's really just putting "How useful you are to the community" into a cold hard integer.
Being useful/known/etc. in the right communities has been a pretty damn important thing since forever.
As always, what matters is what you do with all of this. Just having it by itself doesn't mean a thing.

#38I really like the part where the author made it really hard to stop it! If you know what I mean.

#39On a similar note, can anyone suggest tools like rescuetime for firefox? The few apps that the Firefox Addons website suggests are all outdated (not compatible with ff4+).
Wouldn't a time tracker app with built-in pomodoro timer and website blocker be the ultimate tool? :) Maybe we could toss in functionality to take screenshots every few seconds and show it back to us at the end of the day.

It's strange how often comments like these crop up on various topics, because they're difficult to understand. The core of your argument is "I don't have this problem, so therefore no-one does". I mean, you are aware at at some base level that people are different right? They have different thoughts, weaknesses and so on.
If tools like this can help, then that can be nothing but a good thing, I don't think there is any need to be derisive about it.
