wonder what the ideal amount of time spent on work is. tim ferriss seems to recommend 4 hours (surprise, surprise...) of "real" work.

what's your "Time and attention management" like?

i think the balancing he talked about happened far earlier than the bans. or what bans on what kinda incandescent lightbulbs are you talking about?

it's down. :( what is it? just drowning out distracting sounds or magic productivity noise?

so i dropped my weapon to pick a flower and then i went into the dungeon unarmed... great

that doesnt mean there's a better option though. what else are we gonna do, have some committee tell us which toothpaste to use?

looks like the a-team is helping the rebels

can't one just install a different OS? or is the chromebook pixel using some weird hardware?

uh, all im seeing is a quote about some piece and it fades out until i move the mouse again...??

looks like you can put string arrays and int arrays into the same array though.

"data = [ ["gamma", "delta"], [1, 2] ] # just an update to make sure parsers support it"

so in a static language it would be like: Array<Array<???>> not sure this makes any sense

it's not like it's a good thing for hackers if their OS doesn't "just work".

hmm, when you unpause, the player just falls straight down rather, ignoring the velocity it should have.

also, in the talk the player's path was projected into the future, iirc, not just showing the past

huh, i think i just gave him kudos; what the hell was that?

you ignored the problem i saw with it. if there's no public component to it and people would only share with their friends, the availability of piracy would be severely limited.

and if there is, the content industry could still get their "spies" in.

i may be out of the loop, but... none of the popular ways of piracy are generally encrypted are they? if all the unencrypted ones were to be shut down, would it be possible to replace them with safe ones?

i mean with public p2p filesharing, you can always "spy" on the sharers. i mean it has the be decryptable for you to download it, right? and youll know who sent it.

and with stuff that hosted somewhere, whether it's some usenet provider or megaupload, you can always shut down the hoster.

people could still pirate by directly sending each other encrypted files, but you'd always have to know someone personally who has what you want. which would make piracy much harder.

why am i wrong? ;)

i don't see what the problem is, to be honest

what's ST:FU?

thanks :)

hmm, what exactly does he mean by data-oriented programming?

iirc that's something where you don't store data chopped up into objects, but have arrays that keep all the data of one "aspect" of all "objects"... or something like that. something game programmers would use, helps avoid cache misses.

is that what he was talking about? if so, what does it have to do with macros?

> but you sure can't fire someone based on gender or age anywhere in the United States—and he opens with his desire to do just that.

i think his desire was to be able to fire people who don't do their job or dont do it well

what are smart-ish jeans?

i wish he'd do it in clojurescript

i dont understand the identity function that uses just C and S. :(

C x y = x

S x y z = (x z) (y z)

\I = (S C C)

so uh... that would evaluate to (\z (C z) (C z)), right? and then to (\z z z)? but then you got z twice. what does that even mean? applying z to z?

i have had a standing desk for a while and i dont like the hurting feet at all. gotta fix this somehow. :(

just bring them to antarctica maybe

maybe you're just always getting increased oxygen, making you a superhuman. :)

i wonder what it feels like to have no pulse.

i've been using a standing desk for quite a while now. first i used a small table that i put on my desk, now i use a board on the wall and the sreen is screwed onto the wall above it.

one problem i have is that it seems like all gel mats only ship to the us. amazon.com would ship to germany, but i dont have any way to pay there.

anyone know of a way to get a gel mat in germany?

i was wondering about that too. he later mentioned that the format is bad and that .net bytecode has a better format, so i think maybe he didnt mean bytecode in general but the format of jvm-bytecode.

what do you do in winter?

i was surprised they save my search history. :naive: is there even any legitimate use for that?

any ways to prevent that without making googling less easy?

now im curious. how does texting someone back on the iphone work?
