How many hours of deep work/deep focus a day is doable and sustainable?

  • Oh man, it's so disappointing that people would downvote such a classy post. I mean, you found a polite way to say "I don't want to have an argument", and someone would down vote that?! Wild.

  • Yeah, that makes sense

    • Scientists Confirm the Incredible Existence of ‘Second Sound’

    Jump

  • Eh, the title is fine. This phenomenon happens to have an interesting name, but it's not a lie, and "second sound" is an apt (if goofy) name for the phenomenon.

    And honestly, this seems like a relatively important discovery in the world of physics. It's gaining a stronger understanding of the fundamentals of how matter interacts. We know a lot about specific properties of matter, but we know less about why any given element might have those properties. This seems like the kind of thing that can help explain what's actually going on, why matter sometimes behaves in unusual ways.

  • Right now you're being a dick to someone, not the other way around. I just wanted to point that out, that he was being polite, explaining his point of view, and you're basically suggesting he's just to dumb to understand. That's mean.

  • Does that map suggest that a few cities are rising? Memphis, San Jose, Jacksonville...

    • Since it won't happen the other way around, how do I get people to approach ME in public?

    Jump

  • You could try smiling at people, making eye contact. If they quickly turn away, let them go, if they look back at you, you could say "hi". It's not exactly letting them come to you, but it's also not at all aggressive or harassing, it's just saying "hi".

    If you've already noticed something interesting about them, you could mention it. For instance, "those are cool earrings!" or "I love your t-shirt!", or "What a cute dog! What's their name?" If you're insightful and actually noticed something they think is interesting about themselves, they might be inclined to strike up a conversation about it.

    • Apple Fights Back Against Ruling Requiring External Payment Options

    Jump

  • Sure, he wasn't an engineer, so no, Jobs never personally "invented" anything. But Jobs at least knew what was good and what was shit when he saw it. Under Tim Cook, Apple just keeps putting out shitty unimaginative products, Cook is allowing Apple to stagnate, a dangerous thing to do when they have under 10% market share.

    • CD Projekt exec says "the right thing to do" is release a real Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge for Cyberpunk 2077, not a game-key card, in message to other studios: "Do not underestimate the physical edit

    Jump

  • I mean... Cyberpunk needs to be on a physical card. Otherwise how would you slot it into your neck?

    • Federal Bureau of Investigation creates special task force targeting anti-Tesla ‘terrorism’

  • Wow, I have so much more context now. And honestly, it's actually a lot funnier than I thought it was, thanks.

    Jump

  • I guess a few agents get to slack off for a while rather than actually work. I know if I were in their position, I'd just be "following up on possible leads" for a while.

    Honestly, for an FBI agent, it's insulting to be asked to do special monitoring for an unelected official's private business. They have more important things to do.

  • I wouldn't know, I wasn't forced to go ARM when I built that machine.

    Jump

  • Officially, it didn't, but actually it did. Officially it was the OS updates that made everything incompatible (and it did make more than half of my steam library incompatible) but it was those OS updates that were needed to support the new arm hardware.

    So look at it however you want I guess, but there are a bunch of 4-15 year old games that run just fine on my windows PC, but no longer launch on my iMac. That's not impressive backwards compatibility.

  • Oh yeah, render most of their already small software library incompatible for a 50% performance boost. It's a sizable boost for sure, but not exactly looking at the big picture...

  • Die apple. All your innovation and vision died with Steve Jobs, now you're a shambling corpse infecting everything you touch. Just die, it's time...

    • Patreon will sidestep Apple’s payment system - Last year, Apple executives told Patreon to give them 30% or they will ban the company from the Apple store.

  • Fuck closed off mobile stores, it's all a scam.

    Why are we ceding control over our personal computers to organizations who would limit our use of them?

    If we have platforms capable of running arbitrary code then we should be able to do it.

  • Well he's the president, so he should really get clear on that. Immediately.

  • I'm a big fan of Vatta's War, it was a breath of fresh air after reading a lot of David Weber. (Weber's space battles are unmatched but his political views are so frustrating)

    I'll have to try the Vorkosigan Saga. Thanks!
