As a 22YO, I use it just as much as messenger. The generation a under me uses insta DMs even more.

I'd say since smash.gg is already the established method of organizing esports events across a variety of game communities, despite being straight forward.

Agreed. My girlfriend is t1 diabetic and during periods of stress (recently, starting a new job) her blood glucose becomes much more sporadic.

I could be wrong, but it seems like there's a distinction between perceived sugar (amount of sugar in drink) as mentioned in the study and perceived sweetness (how sweet the drink tastes) which is what you're referring to.

What's the distinction between multi-screening and multitasking in general? Is there something about "media" multitasking that specifically affects memory?

If it's not ready for evaluation then HN is probably your best bet since it would stay within the circle of devs. Twitter/Reddit/FB won't get you the open source contributors and critique you're looking for.

I almost always prefer the desktop app over the web client because my browser is so polluted with random tabs nowadays. Also google chrome has programmed me to feel that web clients will be slower and resource intensive (even though this probably isn't always the case).

> A fascinating or funny video makes the data entry task seem even more excruciating, the same way a sweet dessert makes a sour vegetable taste yuckier.

For me it's the opposite. I often play videos in the background when I'm performing monotonous tasks and it seems to help me from getting completely distracted and abandon the task altogether.

The common strategies that you'll find people do are:

- take notes in margins

- phrase what you read in your own words

- think critically about what you read

But for me, I extract the most value when I discuss what I read with others. Not only does it provide more motivation for reading but I also find myself with a lot more insight after a conversation with a friend about what we just read.

Inspired by a Black Mirror episode? :)

I've found it works very well when theres a mentor/mentee dynamic so long as the mentor has a mentoring mindset. But when I have something time-sensitive to deliver, I almost always stay away from it.

The muted overlay is so obnoxious and distracting. Am I missing the x button or is there really no way to close it?

Been meaning to make the dive into learning Go for a while now. My semester is finally slowing down so about to make the jump. I'll be doing a lot of digging on my own, but please link any resources that you feel were helpful for you.
