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 daily basis each morning, and have a regular sleep patte

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 - this is when you should be in bed - Sleep and wake up at

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 the same model. I had no idea about those big playe

/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 dictated by society (morals aren't the s

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 frowns upon affairs, but if your own morals allow you to

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 capturing and organizing your tasks (like GTD) * Immediately do some

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 apparently smarter.)

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

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.

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 effort into their emails.

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 you upgrade, but you can easily e

I'd get a tablet with a pen like the Galaxy Note 8 or 10. It's MUCH easier to write things down, especially with all the math you'll be doing. And it just allows you to be more precise in general (plus you won't be getti

So when no one is coming to you, what do you have to do? Go to people. Reach out to your ideal users via cold email, social media, etc. with the thought of benefiting them in mind. Share it – here on HN, Reddit, tech and startup sites (ther
