- raamdev 9y agoI'm personally trying to fix the habit of constant checking of HN so that I don't miss out on the good stuff with a weekly email that I can review once a week.

- sjellis 9y agoIt's worth noting that Hacker News has an anti-procrastination feature: set the "noprocrast" option in your profile to "yes", and then it will time-limit your visits to "maxvisit" in minutes, and block you for the "minaway" period. I don't know of any other site that does this. It's a very cool thing for Y Combinator to have done.
