Bad:
- reading news, fiction books (99.99% of them are crap);
- programming in boring languages (Java);
- chatting drunk in a bar;
- watching any movies (youtube included), tv;
- blogging about nonsense (life, politics, etc);
- listening to a podcast while doing nothing (like sitting on a sofa);
- participating in any social network (livejournal, facebook);
- living in the countryside (I don't really know this, but it seems true by my observations on other people).
Good:
- living in a country where common language isn't your mother tongue;
- reading very carefully chosen books (non-mother tongue are preferred);
- regular sex;
- friends which share your interests;
- regular jogging (not on a treadmill);
- walking when you are stuck;
- programming in functional languages.
- sage_joch 16y agoWhat's wrong with running on a treadmill? I've found the measurability to be useful.
- henry_flower 16y agoMaybe it's personal, but looking on the screen (while running) with a dumb simulation of the nature makes me feel blue.
- pgbovine 16y agoi don't see why everyone is downvoting this guy ... many of his claims are just as arbitrary and unsubstantiated as others posted on this thread
- jc-denton 16y ago- programming in boring languages (Java); It's not the language IMHO, but for me rather the problem that Java programming involves using libs and configuring stuff (which is rather dumb and boring) rather then designing algorithm and understanding how stuff really works..
