Yeah, people totally take them "personally"and start "useless wars."

I just found this after trying to post the same link. I know it's not a hacking topic, but I figure more than a few people here are fans of his.

I heard there was a back door.

It's about time someone created a blog like this. I've been saying for a long time that mastering some aspect of technology has the secondary value of making valuable insights of one's opinions on everyday life. I've been wondering what the Top 12 Myths About Sleeping were, and I've been needing 8 Great Ideas To Get You Inspired, and I hope you'll be able to address these and other topics you as you proceed.

I just like books with post-colonic explanatory subtitles, but it looks like I'll be taken care of as well.

Yes, I made that word up.

Would you happen to have any links or book references to this "recent evidence"? While most of success comes from effort and discipline, I've always been under the impression that only the naturally gifted (who also have discipline and drive) can/have achieve/achieved certain things. The dwarf down the street from me will never be a professional football player, and someone with a 100 IQ will never be an astronaut. I've always felt the you-can-always-achieve-whatever-you-want-no-matter-what-if-you-want-it-bad-enough approach to be more than a little cliched and misguided. If recent scientific evidence has disproved this stance of mine, I'm open to changing it.

This blog is pure filler, yet every entry makes the front page here. The bad poems written by the random 17 year old goth girl I added on livejournal three years ago have more insights than these posts. Is the maintainer a HN member? Someone almost-famous? I don't get it.

I agree, but I'm not at all surprised.

I'm glad someone finally wrote a post on this topic.

How do you maintain a hit centered blog?

We've all run into this problem at some point: We sincerely want to put something out on the web that people will link to, helping us generate ad revenue. But not all of us have something useful or meaningful to say. This is something you can overcome if you just put a little pluck and perserverance into it. Here's what some others had to say...

howtosplitanatom.com - "A good approach for me has been to identify a universal problem and get my friends to relay truisms about said problem. If they're not available, I can Google up a list in less than 10 minutes!"

zenhabits.net - "Pasting universal truisms is great, but I like to throw a little twist in by enumerating them."

And remember to make sure to network with other vacuous blogs so you can upvote each other and downvote the competition on social sites. Happy po$ting!

I meant just blogging my experience working through it.

Ha! I was going to do the exact same thing. Maybe I'll do it for TAOCP instead if I ever get around to it.
