Ask HN: easy noprocrast loophole
There is a frustratingly easy way to circumvent "noprocrast", defeating its purpose. For example, in Firefox, you can use "private browsing" (Shift-Apple-P on a Mac).
Would it be a good idea to track IP addresses to make it a bit harder to work around the noprocrast delay?
- NathanKP 17y agoIf you are that addicted already then you'll probably need to use something like this: http://visitsteve.com/work/selfcontrol/ http://visitsteve.com/work/selfcontrol/ - For Mac OS X http://www1.k9webprotection.com/ http://www1.k9webprotection.com/ - For Windows, designed to block porn but it can block any site you want. Have fun!

- revorad 17y agoAn easier loophole is to go straight to http://news.ycombinator.com/logout http://news.ycombinator.com/logout. Then you can continue reading. If you're really struggling, seriously try working on a computer without an internet connection (See http://www.paulgraham.com/distraction.html http://www.paulgraham.com/distraction.html).
