Huh? They're right there on the right, below the delete key.

Guy seems to be naked on the bed watching TV now.

Thankfully the camera's very pixelated.



I work for Radweb, Nick no longer works with us. He left around a year ago or so.

I've made a few open-source contributions through the company (https://github.com/danharper and https://github.com/radweb).

Chart.js looked like an awesome library, it's a shame what happened.


Problem with these is I end up turning it off.


The one I've found that's worked best for me is a Chrome extension called Delayed Gratification that actually only delays my access to the site for 30 seconds. It's enough that I can convince myself to sit there and wait for 30 seconds rather than turn it off when I really want access to the site and feel it's justified.

But 30 seconds is also a decent amount of time to convince myself that I don't really need to see that site right now, and often I'll just close the tab a few seconds in and get on with work.


I've started to use this (Chrome extension): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/strict-pomodoro/cg...

and it as really helped me (serial redditor) be more productive.


Cue someone writing a "get get-shit-done" script that turns on all the productivity scripts you have at a specified time


Self-control only goes so far, but if (like me) you have trained yourself to flick to reddit as soon as you get even slightly bored, it's a good way to untrain that behaviour.


I'm in this camp--if I'm working on something in a browser and I get bored, my reflex is to open a new tab and do HN or reddit before I know what I'm doing.

Did a combination of Chrome/Safari nanny plugins for a while, but the effort of `sudo` + password seems to be working better and is a bit easier to turn on/off for me.


Something like that, but it could be done ahead of time - receive a bitcoin address & redemption code online, send your coins then ~30mins later go to the machine, enter your redemption code and receive your BTC.

Redemption code could also be a QR code. Put it on your phone & hold it up to the machine.


You can instant accept any bitcoin value that is lower to the investment to do the 51% attack or similar. Example: no one is going to make a 51% attack to steal only 10 bitcoin from a vending machine.

Simply put a limit, or just say to the user that any amount of bitcoin over X will need Y time to get verified. Anything lower that X amount will be instantly processed.


Doesn't it require ~10 minutes to solidify into the record to prevent double-spending without having the 51% attack?


Correct - there are various attack vectors besides the 51% attack. Ideally, a transaction shouldn't be closed until there have been 2 confirmations.


As a regular author for Tuts+ I am absolutely FUMING with them.


Finally support for input type="file"!


It is almost... too easy now...
