Is it really faster though? I’ve built PoC of something similar and a test game to check how much faster it was to use keyboard. To my surprise mouse was consistently faster ( by a lot).

It depends on the context and the system you’re working with. In some systems, an hour may last 3599, 3600 or 3601 seconds (due to the leap second), a minute may be 59,60 or 61 seconds. Even a second is not always a „true” second. There’s n

You seem to assume that a day always has 24 hours. Common (but not only) non-24h day lengths are: - 23 hours - 25 hours - 24 hours 1 second - 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds You could assume that a day isn't exactly 24 hours, but it&#x2

You don’t need the other person to be in the same room - a video call works just fine. In fact, it can be even better for productivity since there's less chit-chat.

I work every day with people addicted to YouTube. A WorkMode client shared this approach; we tested it with a small group. Anecdotal but consistent - it works surprisingly well, cuts usage sharply, and seems to hold up long-term.

Everything you wrote is true, but this is not how it works in practice. Usually, the person running the blog uses WordPress, and doesn't know about caching. They add a few plugins that significantly increase response time and make the

User would have to enable caching in CF and the response from the server would have to be cacheable for CF for caching to kick in.

62.5ms for a non-cached request? In my experience that’s really fast response time for a blog even on a dedicated bare-metal server.

I assume that scrolling through productivity feed of friends is less engaging than scrolling through social media content designed and tailored to you to spend as much time on it as possible. The app has other features to help with focus an

I haven’t checked the app, I just saw screenshots. In my opinion the leaderboard is a bad idea, especially global one. It will be unachievable by vast majority of your users, and may lead to toxic behaviours such as working for 12h/day

No need to be snarky. If it helps someone be more productive then it’s a win, even if they spend 50% scrolling and 50% working. I haven’t checked the app, but the description says it uses social accountability, focus music and gamification.

Delaying action is sometimes useful. Procrastination is never useful. The deliberate decision to postpone something because it's beneficial is very different from postponing something because we prefer to read HN.

> procrastination is healthy and stops premature projects from getting copied and ruined. I disagree. By definition, procrastination means delaying or avoiding actions you should be taking, which is inherently unhealthy. If you're n

Who do you consider to be your target audience? Who's your client?

by mklepaczewski 2y ago
No. Procrastinators will unconsiusly use these tasks as an excuse to pause work. Getting something to drink, looking for a music etc. removes these common excuses, so that the only thing left to do is work. Many procrastinators have ADHD, a

I disagree. Both books suck for procrastinators/people with ADHD. Most of them won't finish reading these books. People should watch a 10/20-minute introduction to developing a habit on YouTube instead. These books are writte

Well, yeah. Companies store a lot of information in spreadsheets. CRM, financial info or really anything. People need to access it from their phones when the data is urgently needed.

Teenagers are allowed to take high interest loan? Where? I think in Poland it would be possible for every parent to refuse repay such a loan.

No, nobody has ever complained about it (and yes, we did ask). When we first started, we were really concerned about it, so we tried to move as little as possible, avoid hand gestures, and so on. However, it turned out to be a non-issue. Fu

I do the same, but I think it's because we were taught to be polite and to conduct conversations in a certain way. Do you put effort into being polite when ChatGPT makes a mistake and you correct it? Do you try to soften the blow to av

Yes, they monitor several people simultaneously. Most clients ask us to check in on their progress every 15–30 minutes, and these interactions can last anywhere from a few seconds to three minutes, depending on the client and the challenges

The parent might be referring to us: https://workmode.net/ . Most of our clients work from home. Do you have a specific concern about body doubling and working from home?

If the argument order is a problem for you, you can use named arguments.

Can you elaborate? I'm not sure what you mean, but IDEs definitely make reading code easier. IDE does code formatting, highlighting, argument hints, jumping to methods, declarations, and various hover effects on variables, methods, and
