Show HN: Mostly inaccurate but dead honest 33 years of one man's life
- Kosirich 5y agoOh...man...DOTA w3 and DOTA2. When ever I hear people talking about "having to deal with toxic community of X game" my mind immediately thinks "you probably haven't played DOTA".
- peterkouvaris 5y agoSome MOBA history! An early derivative of DOTA, Heroes of Newerth (HoN), came out a bit before DOTA 2 and was at one time competing with LOL for the top DOTA clone. HoN had chosen a much closer to DOTA approach and was for its first 2 years almost an exact clone with a new snappy engine. All the DOTA purists went here and as a result, it was the most toxic video game community I've ever experienced. Great game but it had a very clear impact on one's mental health and attitude.
- Kosirich 5y agoFor me DOTA2 flame war experience has gotten much better over the years and is 10 times better than how it was in DOTA1. Perhaps it is the ease of setting up or it's the younger generation who is more chill or it's perhaps Valves banning system... I don't know to be honest. Occasionally DOTA2 still can be used as Russian language (involuntary) learning platform on EU servers. In general, long gone are the days where 10 minutes into the game I would get a comment from a player describing what he is doing or is going to do with/to my mother.
- Zababa 5y agoDota 2 is the game where I had the most fun with strangers. I never played ranked games though, so that's probably why I have so many good memories.
- blitz_skull 5y agoOnly 140 hours in Factorio? Doubt.
- lostmsu 5y agoIt is incredibly easy to beat passively if you leave the factory to run overnight a few times.
- deleted 5y ago[deleted]
- 1_player 5y agoThe page keeps reloading for me on Brave on iOS. And sadly text is not very legible on Mobile, but I see a big chunk of time labeled Hacker News, which seems realistic to me.
- lostmsu 5y agoYeah, it's not designed for mobile (if you can call "let's build a treemap of life" a design). Even on large 4k screen some entries won't fit text. The reloading is a hack not to have to learn d3 chart reflowing. And a dirty one at that.
- tester756 5y agogetting to school 1k hours work commute 2k hours higher edu studying 2k hours porn 800h wc 4k hours hmm, pretty interesting.
- artemonster 5y agohomm3 & habr -> russian? :)
- Zababa 5y agoThere's Dota so yes, probably Russian
- bjourne 5y agoWhen I read the page I though "yeah right, dead honest but no slot for wanking!" :) But it's there, 852 hours for watching porn. If the guy started at age 14 that turns out to about 12.5 minutes per day.
- ad404b8a372f2b9 5y agoDoes it strike anybody else as incredibly low, especially accounting for teenage years? Or do I have a problem ... On the poop front though that seems incredibly high to me. That's 15 minutes a day assuming you do it every day.
- kayodelycaon 5y agoI have at least 3~4x that. Hyper-sexuality started when I was nine. :(
- vmception 5y agoIf its not every day then it averages downward very quickly
- Aeolun 5y agoI cannot spend less than 15 minutes on the toilet when I’m pooping. It’s a universal law.
- _fat_santa 5y agoThe question is how does one quantify a poop. Some will quantify just the act but we all know there's more to the ritual and usually involves at least 10 minutes on here or Reddit.
- lostmsu 5y agoPart of the solution to this puzzle is daydreaming porn to wank, which is not on the chart.
- deleted 5y ago[deleted]
- 5y ago
- mrkramer 5y agoHow was this measured? Or is it only approximation/assumption?
- lostmsu 5y agoMany of it is of the same kind as "how many ping pongs can fit into a school bus" assisted by known total time spent and yanking values to feel right relative to each other. I think it worked well.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoI've been running ManicTime ( https://www.manictime.com/ https://www.manictime.com/ ) for, geez, more than a decade now (Wikipedia says its first release was in 2008), and on my "Do Someday" list is an analysis of those hours. It would also tell me when I was at my desk since it logs presence/away hours as well when the computer got started/shut down. I guess the percentage of waking hours spent in front of the computer will be tragic. Also tragic will be the many hours of reddit on there, as well as more recently HN.
- democracy 5y ago...trying to understand how CSS grid works - 99.99% ))
- lostmsu 5y agoCSS is the f*cking reason I stay as far away as possible from web frontend. The whole page took maybe a few hours to make, but I gave up horizontally aligning text on the cells after 30 or so minutes wasted on it.
- joe-collins 5y agojustify-content: center;
- lostmsu 5y agoIt does not work on wrapped lines!
- chuckhendo 5y agoTry doing justify-content: center; and text-align: center;
- jjice 5y agoCSS definitely sucks if you're not used to it, but seeing what pros can do in a few lines of CSS is incredible to me.
- FractalHQ 5y agoI love CSS, it was tricky to learn but worth the time!
- llimos 5y agoWhy is "being under 3 years old" not a "required bit"?
- lostmsu 5y agoThere are a few like that, that would be double purpose: this, and HN, Habr, reading books, and Coding 4 Fun being 50/50 chilling/education. Also as another comment mentions most of pooping after 6yo coincided with some sort of reading, but they still have separate entries.
- time0ut 5y agoHacker News 10k hours… I shudder to think. If this is tracked, please leave me in my blissful ignorance!
- onion2k 5y ago10,000 hours is how much time you need to master something apparently, so he should be really good at HN now.
- lostmsu 5y agoUnlike Habr, which is hosting original IT content, HN just does links, so this number is a small lie. Small because as we get more experienced, it makes more sense to read comments only, as articles themselves often contain not enough new information to spend time on. Same applies to r/MachineLearning: I read comments, then optionally read PDF on arxiv, later being included into the corresponding cell.
- tmnstr85 5y agowell... now i know about C&C2 Yuri and habr... so there goes the rest of the quarter...this is dangerous in the wrong hands
- tomcooks 5y agoI wish this had more informations on data collection, data presentation and a friendlier mobile interface. Well done
- xiphias2 5y agoPorn:sex ratio of only 4 sounds amazing
- lostmsu 5y agoConsidering those are guesstimates, you are probably right. Probably porn estimate is off by up ~2x. Most of it is high school and early uni, and how much time exactly it took back then is hard to remember by 30.
- toyg 5y ago> Probably porn estimate is off by up ~2x. Most of it is high school and early uni Lol, I bet for many it's actually the opposite...
- reality_inspctr 5y agoMath checks out on a gut level, based my experience doing a few hundred whole-life scale calendar models over the past year. There is a lot missing in the small stuff, but in general it seems right-ish. There is probably a curve of diminishing returns when you try to get it too accurate, because the meta analysis starts to show up as a function. OP if you want to move your numbers to a piece of software to map it out in higher res, would be super fun to iterate it forward to more definition. (https://sundialcalendar.com/ https://sundialcalendar.com/ is the software)
- Aeolun 5y agoThere is no software to speak of on this website. It’s more like what I’d expect from a cult recruitment site.
- thomcano 5y agoWe have the same hours clocked on DOTA & DOTA 2; It became a big part of growing up.
- lostmsu 5y agoI am still playing it on a weekly basis.
- btheshoe 5y agoMaking one of these myself showed me exactly how many hours I was wasting on social media that I could have been spending on something I actually enjoyed.
- andyjohnson0 5y agoHacker News: 3.7% School (10 grades): 3.82%
- kakkan 5y agoSounds right to me.
- C-x_C-f 5y agoI wonder if this takes into account multitasking. If I poop for 1 hour while reading HN, I can't just add the two percentages separately or the total will exceed 100%, so I have to count the 1 hour twice to normalize. If I do this every day, I get that I spent 1/25 of my time reading HN; however, it's really 1/24 of my time (since pooping is essentially automated away). Same for washing dishes etc. Could be interesting to add a field for simultaneity and then removing the "boring parts done while doing fun parts" bits to gain another point of view.
- throwawayboise 5y agoGood lord who poops for an hour? It takes me about 60 seconds including clean-up.
- alexashka 5y agoMore time coding for fun than playing dota or internet flaming combined? Suspicious troll face picture here :)
- lostmsu 5y agoDota only exists for so long.
- adamredwoods 5y agoNo kids yet. No convalescing yet.
