I've responded to similar articles on HN with this, and I will do so again here. The way to stop procrastinating, of course, is to read a long article about how not to procrastinate.

While your 8 month time frame is a little longer than most, the honest answer is that you don't. Essential reading: http://norvig.com/21-days.html The bottom line is that you need to work on projects you care about. You need some motivat

Absolutely not. I'm a student and it's easy enough to come up with $7 dollars a month for something you care about.

I was assigned to read this book in AP Psychology in high school. Discovering Carl Sagen alone made that class worth it. I now own quite a few of his works and would highly recomend all of them to anyone. The Demon-Haunted World should b

Thank God someone finally said it. We need to take 95% of the financial services industry and ship them off to a desert island.

Fair enough; but I would argue that the main thesis in the counter essay has nothing to do with the scope of pg's argument. In fact, I think the author would have been better off leaving the issue of scope out of his essay. The main body

The bottom line is that you need to work with something that you can extend. To suggest that the IDE/Editor designer is going to be able to anticipate all of your needs is silly. Instead, learn something like Emacs which you can extend wi

Woah, woah, woah. What's this business of talking about consciousness like it exists? The only thing you know for sure is conscious is yourself. You simply make assumptions that other people are conscious based off of their responses to
