   It's important to be mindful that 46% of voters is around 28% of eligible voters, and 20% of the overall US population. Obviously the same is true + or - a few percent for Hillary, so really unpopular presidential picks this year. Eith

   It can also represent disagreement with atomically small HN posts. shrugs In this case I highly doubt most HN commenters support Trump, because he already has majority disapproval. Most normal republicans aren't super fond of tax hik

   For those who need babel source maps there's Fable, it uses F# and Babel to generate javascript, OCaml and F# are remarkably similar.

    There's always the functional style of write something inanely simple and use massive words to describe it.

    I get stressed and bummed when the code I have to review contains bugs. Definitely not the other way around though.

    To all the people who are posting "if you are sad" answers, you're wrong, and woefully uninformed. Depression is not sadness. I'm going to repeat this, depression is not sadness. The article is describing a component of

    The people who read these books, and the companies who come up with these contrived interviews deserve each other.

    While he isn't blameless, the ACA helped a lot of people, the economy recovered greatly (admittedly all he had to do was not fuck it up), permitted states to legalize weed. For me I have to say the ACA is probably the biggest reason wh

    Don't hold on to the bleeding edge so tightly and you won't get cut. It's fine to ride the wave, but don't forget to polish your less specific skills.

    I turned of notifications of all kinds 99% of them were not worth clicking. I do periodically abstain, but I when I do use I try to stay self-aware. I mentally keep track of how long I've spent, and what I spent my time doing. I then p

    Sure. That's very true. CBT can be done and has shown some success with lay practitioners in non-american countries. However that's not as widely available. Awareness meditation is also looking hopeful for ADHD, but more evidence

    Also, I'm not recommending not to abstain. I'm only pointing out that abstaining alone will not develop practice in executive control and attention regulation. If the phone is too attention grabbing, there are other ways of develo

    There is a very critical flaw in that though, people who identify as having good self-control don't necessarily actually have good self-control. Just like people who identify at being good at basketball aren't necessarily good at

    I'm not arguing that people need better self control, just that they need to be aware of what they're doing so they can do what they want. There's nothing wrong with browsing facebook for 10 hours if that's what you want

    Please keep in mind, I'm not saying don't use crutches. People with broken legs should use crutches. Just don't use crutches after you gain the ability to walk without them. I do think it's better to every 10 minutes try

    I mean sure if you have a mental health condition like ADHD, but studies have shown that most with ADHD can still steer their awareness it's just much harder. If you literally cannot be aware of your behavior while using your phone, th

    The device aggravates this issue only because the author is unconscious enough that they aren't even aware they are making a decision to use or not use the phone. While it may be a necessary step to take a break from something that cap

    I mean reducing the negative impacts of being out of control is great, but the technology didn't make the author out of control. The author was out of control before the technology got there, and the technology merely empowered him in

    Regaining control of your attention doesn't mean not using your phone. It means being self-aware. The author is relying on a crutch. Not using the phone is just removing a single source of distraction, it does nothing to actually help

    Gather together the things that change for the same reasons. Separate things that change for different reasons. Sometimes that means that splits cleanly by language boundaries, but what should we do if it doesn't.
