Curious about the 20th guy who is neither dead nor alive.

Fair question. On the other hand, all pins are easy to guess (very short, small charset) so maybe they're not blocking enough. :D

There's some good stuff here, but it completely skips gratitude.

Focusing on what you're grateful for is one of the more powerful and best proven methods to combat depression. I've been through clinical depression and consider it the key to my recovery.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by smart working and cultural businesses?

Never heard of this "elementary backstroke" but I'm a pro at "chickenwings, airplane, torpedo."

Until they isolate the gravel in shoes gait.

They said they reduced code 84% but the numbers they gave are a 79% reduction. If they're using different metrics they should explain.

I know he didn't phrase it this way, but one dev hour is probably about right as far as what it actually costs a company.

You have to count the overhead of the system that gets the work to the devs, and 30% on top of salaries for benefits and such.

None of the competitors I'm aware of have fuzzy search though, which is pretty annoying.

Hold up.

1. "Doesn't work for some people" is subject to the same fallacy as "worked for me." Not letting you get away with that one.

2. Working on yourself is very obviously the best way to attract someone else. Statistically speaking we get the most attention from those who perceive our value to be slightly above theirs (people tend to aim for the best around that they don't think are "out of their league"). Increase your own value and you will get more attention from higher value potential partners.

There's a little bit of a catch 22 in that if you work on yourself just to try to be more attractive you probably won't succeed. Things like genuine enthusiasm for a hobby are very attractive and hard to fake, for example. But if you become a person anyone would be lucky date it's not going to be hard to find dates, provided you leave the basement once in a while.

Yes. This was my favorite quote. With slightly more context:

You know what's amazing? Heinrich is old, he's 84 or so. He called this in the 70s, he said this would be possible. It's only possible now because these brand new lasers are capable of doing it. That, in my mind, is awesome.

Interesting. I'm surprised this actually works for people. For me it would it would just make me waste more time, and turn browsing into a stress multiplier instead of a stress reliever.

I favor extensions that give an alert or block the site after a certain time. More effective and less anger inducing for me personally.
