This is not primarily an advertising site. See guidelines: > Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.

No, upset stomach and food aversion were not common for me before. I've gone through the quitting process several times over the years, and the experience was consistent each time. I've also run experiments while quitting like: wh

Much of society is fragile. The point is that we need to approach this from the perspective of what is , not from what we wish things could be.

I've been so happy with Niri after many many years bouncing around other WMs. It addresses the main issues I've had with other tiling window managers and has been such a joy to use. The scrollable aspect just feels so natural and

I think the issue is more broad though. While a “punishment” that involves calling oneself a loser is a problem, the entire approach of punishment-based learning has given way to reinforcement approaches because they tend to be more effecti

Fair. I was conflating this with positive reinforcement, and the nuance of the terminology got a bit mixed up. To your last point, I think the conclusion remains similar. Even if yelling “I’m a loser” qualifies as “something you have to do”

With the current CTA budget problems, they’re going to need to figure something out soon. But unfortunately I don’t think they’d ever manage to implement this. It’s hard to imagine how they’d physically set this up.

Arguably it’s about both. Much of the technology is dangerous in the way guns are dangerous. It may be true that human behavior is what is reflected back to us, but the potential for danger co-emerges with the capability of the technology w
