What I have learnt is that as long as the work involves non-deterministic processes, it will cause mental drain. So, there is more chance of procrastination. Along with this, if the task is large, there is a higher risk of procrastination.

Really appreciate the initiative. Need to point out a couple of things (using an Android phone): Cannot do a search. The menu items are on top of it. Cannot close the information box about cookies. Overall, a very good initiative.

"Press one button for “no,” another for “yes,” and a third for “present.”" Well, after eight decades, we and our social networks have almost caught up with Dr. Nevil Monroe Hopkins, but are still at least one button short. Edit: R

Interesting study. 1. Did they measure short-term happiness vs long-term happiness? The study involved making people feel good for a short period of time and a task whose duration was for a short period of time. 2. Is it enough to make your

Related: In IRC channels, ask a question and state that a competing product seems to work better. You will get multiple answers within minutes. Works especially well if it is Linux vs Windows.

Nicely done. 1. What did you use to generate the graphs? 2. While analyzing JavaScript, were submissions of posts related to Angular, Bootstrap, Require, etc classified as JavaScript?

The dot-com buyouts were based on hope, while this era's acquisitions are mostly based on fear - more of the defensive kind.

Thank you for the response. I agree, more or less. In this case, of course, I made the assumption that OP didn't want to quit his job. His skill sets are fairly common, based on what he posted. Considering that, I thought he will have

(Upvoted for discussion) I agree that it is very difficult to find the required momentum. Some things which may help, based on my experience: 1. Divide the whole problem into subsets. Identify others who are having the same problem subsets,

Any idea about their valuation? Facebook is now worth more or less what they claimed at the time of their IPO. Is it safe to assume this is will be around the same range (i.e., $100b)?
