Thanks - it's the second kid so I know about the sleep deprivation. I certainly plan to spend as much time as possible at home (especially right after birth to help out).

Thank you. I'll go outside now and ponder things.

Thanks, framing it that way makes a lot of sense!

Good idea. I did that for a while, but somehow stopped eventually. I'll block HN on my desktop via /etc/hosts again.

Good idea - I did that sometimes and it worked. Will remember that.

I don't comment to make myself feel better (I mean not to show off how smart I am or whatever). The topics that make me comment are the ones where I feel people are completely unreasonable. As xkcd says - someone is wrong on the internet.

Mostly political, which somehow has sneaked into HN by now against the original rules.
