JGM_io··on Show HN: A game that tests how well you know your local area
But why not use shops, parks, etc as they are what you want to really want to get to know.

Then have the game get you to name the streets to get there or something.

Shops would pay to be listed?

JGM_io··on Tell HN: If You Are in Russia
You need a reality check I'm afraid. EU has actively supported the wars.. mostly under false pretense for oil and expansion of "capitalism as an end goal"-ideology.

Sorry but please dive a bit into non-western news reports to get a real world view

JGM_io··on Show HN: Supernotes 2 – a fast, Markdown notes app for journalling and sharing
I go back and forth between normal windows and Andy but now with zettelkasten I think I'll stay with Andy as it allows to preview your networked notes in a linear manner.

Just peeked at dataview and I love it. Hope the overhead of creating the metadata in each note won't throw off my flow as I like to move at lightning speed (read chaotic).

Thanks for the plugin tips.

I also really like Admonition[1] to make styled blocks to format notes. Sliding panes(Andy Matushcak Mode)[2] makes the experience just more natural than windows that need to be resized, etc when switching context.

Found Admonition when learning about Zettelkasten via an efficient video by Artem Kirsanov[3]. Within 17 mins I got the system better than the scary 4 hour overkill vids out there.

JGM_io··on In second largest DeFi hack, Blockchain Bridge loses $320M Ether
Cuz there are millions of people buying nft's? And the investors probably have some insurance or clause where they add another $€¥ against interesting valuation as a convertible or something
JGM_io··on On Leaving Facebook
What you feel is the "Competence" part of core motivation according to deci & ryan "self determination theory". Their original paper is from 2008 i believe and states people need the perceived Autonomy to choose their life, perceived Competence over that choice and the perceived Relatedness that others respect and encourage your activity of choice.

So it's very understandable that if 1 of 3 is missing your psyche becomes strained.

I used to study this theory as part of my game design interests and found it extremely useful to analyse a lot of stuff from your own situation to a game or even customer experience. Just be aware of the word perceived here... allowing the theory to be used for dark patterns.

JGM_io··on How to Work Hard
I'm a bit wary of this essay even though I'm a fan of PG.

With neoliberal rhetoric like this:

  "Like most little kids, I enjoyed the feeling of achievement when I learned or did something new. As I grew older, this morphed into a feeling of disgust when I wasn't achieving anything."
I wonder if we're not forgetting to just chill. Can he just chill?

I dunno, something that's been on my mind

JGM_io··on Best Unit Economics Resources?
The question is being asked but at the same time I wanted to show I was not being lazy by showing the work I've already put in it.

Definitely didn't want to promote anything. Sorry if it comes off that way.

And yes I work in gsheets but thought I had removed the sign in requirement. I'll have to check that tomorrow on my computer (it's midnight here)

Very cool trick! Wonder if Europe has this as well.

For email I use <site>JGM.io (my own domain). If I see that address being used elsewhere I know who's being a bad boy

JGM_io··on Facebook shares plunge after Coca-Cola joins ad boycot
Seems to me companies finally feel compelled to do the right thing over the profitable thing... At least for now of course.
JGM_io··on Procrastination is driven by our desire to avoid difficult emotions, says expert
> I'd say the key thing here is getting rid of the guilt: I've agreed with myself that as long as I never exceed the accumulated pomodoro budget, I can spend it without feeling bad about not working.

I found this to be a key factor. I can enjoy myself as long as there are no matters unresolved.

>(EDIT: Well, the third big trick, one which lets me keep anxiety down, is that I keep running journals - both personal and work - and I dump my train of thoughts straight into them whenever I start feeling even slightly anxious or confused. I almost never read them again, but the act of going through my thoughts in writing calms me down, and lets me pinpoint the sources of anxiety.)

Reminds me of "getting things done"
